Closely spaced zigzag stitches are called satin stitches This is an attractive stitch
used for appliqueing, buttonhole
making.
Whenever you are using this stitch, it is well to remember to loosen the tension
of the top thread slightly. The wider the stitch you make, the looser the tension
should be.
If you are stitching
on a very soft fabric,
it is well to use a backing of tissue
paper or interfacing
for a well formed stitch.. Puckering of the materia! wilt be
eliminated and the bobbin thread will not be visible on the top side of the fabric..
As with all special stitches, it is best to make a sampie design on your fabric
before starting the design on the garment
