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.
TWIN NEEDLE
A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin tucks, double top
stitching and decorative sewing.
THREADING THE TWIN NEEDLE
Insert the second spool pin . P lace a spool on each spool pin. Thread the two
threads as one. Draw one thread through each needle from front to back.
1.
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.
2.
STRAIGHT STITCH NEEDLE POSITION
The position of the needle when sewing straight stitch may be adjusted to 15
different positions with the stitch width control as illustrated:
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.
