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 the sheer
materials to avoid puckering.
TWIN NEEDLE (Option)
A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin
tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.
Use of a Singer Brand 3mm (Style 2025) Twin Needle is strongly
recommended
THREADING THE TWIN NEEDLE
1. 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) clear.
NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the twin
needle.
Helpful Hints:
1. Always select the Twin Needle Mode prior to selecting
a pattern. This will preclude any possibility of the twin
needle breaking.
2. Turning off the machine returns the machine to normal
sewing mode. Twin Needle is only active when the
Twin Needle Switch is lit red.
