SATIN FOOT
The Satin stitch foot is grooved on the bottom to permit dense
stitching to pass under it easily. It is most useful for sewing
satin stitches. It can also be used as an alternative to the All
Purpose or All Purpose Foot when sewing stretch stitches.
Closely spaced zigzag (page 23) stitches are called satin
stitches. This is an attractive stitch used primarily for
appliqueing and bar tacking. Slightly loosen top thread tension
for satin stitching. Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing to
avoid puckering.
NOTE on starting to sew with satin stitch foot:
Pull both threads under the foot, to the left of the foot of the
foot before starting to sew in order to hold threads with the
foot or top thread may be entangled on the underside of fabric.

This foot provides a perfect ¼" seam guideline, which is useful
when piecing quilt blocks. Markings on the foot alert when to
pivot the fabric.
1. Select straight stitch.
2. Snap on the ¼" Foot.
3. Stitch the pre-cut fabric pieces together. Keep the fabric's
edge even with the foot's right edge. There is no need to tie
off at the seam ends.
4. Iron the seams flat, ensuring precision of your work and
better alignment of all corners. All seam allowances should
be positioned in one direction and preferably be placed
under the darker-colored material, so they cannot be seen
on the right fabric side.
5. Place matching strips together as desired and pin together
at each corner, ensuring accurate alignment of all corners.
Remember that even the smallest discrepancies will add
up and distort your design. Join together the strips and iron
the seams. Upon completion of your patchwork design,
iron again on the right fabric side.
