SATIN STITCHING
Satin stitching, a series of closely spaced zig
zag stitches that form a smooth, satin-like
surface, is useful for both practical and deco
rative work. The plain zig-zag stitch, for ex
ample, is suitable for appliqué when closed
up to form a satin stitch. Other built-in and
interchangeable Fashion Stitch patterns (as
illustrated on pages 20 and 24) can be sewn at
satin-stitch length.
When you wish to produce a satin stitch, make
a test sample first so that you can adjust the
stitch length and thread tension properly. Soft
fabric may require a backing to ensure firm
satin stitching. Crisp lawn or organdy is suit
able for this purpose. For best results, use the
special purpose foot.

Adjusting Thread Tension
Satin stitching usually requires less tension
than straight stitching and open zig-zag stitch
ing. Furthermore, the wider the satin stitch,
the lighter the tension on your thread must be.
Notice the stitching on your sample. If the
fabric is puckered, or the bobbin thread is
pulled to the fabric surface, lower the needle-
thread tension by turning the dial to a lower
number.
