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.
When using twin-needles, the stitch width should never be
set above twin needle mark, regardless of the stitch you
have selected. Doing so will result in broken needles and
possible damage to your machine.
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.
