4. OTHER INFORMATION
SATIN STITCH FOOT
The Satin stitch foot is grooved to permit dense stitching to pass under it
easily. It is most useful for sewing satin stitches and as an alternative to the
General Purpose Foot when sewing stretch stitches.
Closely spaced zig-zag 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 tissue paper or interfacing for lightweight fabrics to avoid
puckering.
TWIN NEEDLE
A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin tucks, double top
stitching and decorative sewing.
Before inserting twin needles (sold separately) ensure you push the twin needle
select button otherwise it can cause damage to the machine. Twin needles with
a 2mm centre needle position is strongly recommended.
THREADING THE TWIN NEEDLE
Insert the second spool
pin.
Place a spool on each spool pin. Thread the two
1.
threads as one. Draw one thread through each needle from front to back.
2.
Pick up bobbin thread as for single needle sewing. Pull the three threads
together under the presser foot to the back of the machine, leaving about 6"
(15mm) of thread.
NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the twin needle.
Helpful Hints:
1.
To avoid the break of twin needle, please push the twin needle
button before you selecting the stitch.
2.
Turning off the machine returns the machine to normal sewing mode.
