Satin stitching
When you wish to produce
a
satin
stitch make
a test sample first so you
can adjust stitch
length and thread tension
properly. Soft fabric
may require a backing
to ensure a firm stitch.
Crisp organdy, lawn or a fusible
interfacing are
suitable for this purpose.

TENSION
Satin
stitching
requires
less
tension
than
straight stitching or open zig-zag stitching.
Furthermore, the wider the stitch, the lighter the
tension on the thread must be. Notice the
stitching
on your sample.
If the fabric
is
puckered
(illustration
A),
lower the needle
thread tension by turning the tension dial to a
lower number.

is
