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 to avoid
puckering.
TWIN NEEDLE (Optional)
IMPORTANT:
When using a twin-needles, set stitch width at 3.5 or
less, or otherwise needle may be broken.
A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin
tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.
Use of SINGER brand twin needles is strongly recommended.

THREADING THE TWIN NEEDLE

1. Insert the second spool pin. Place a spool on each spool
pin. Thread the two 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" (15 cm) of thread.
NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the
twin needle.
