Satin stitch
Satin stitch, a zigzag stitch in which the stitches are very close together,
is particularly suitable for appliqué, monograms, and various decorative
stitches.
As various programmes can be used for satin stitching, see the
programme table in section „Programme selection“ on page 46 for
the possible programmes.

TIP
Whenever you use this stitch, reduce the upper thread tension slightly.
The wider the stitch, the lower the upper thread tension should be. If
you are sewing very thin or soft fabrics, you should place a thin piece
of paper under the fabric and sew this too. This prevents stitches being
missed and the material gathering.
Blind stitch
For so-called blind hemming.

Use a thread colour that exactly matches the fabric.
If you are sewing very light or transparent fabrics, use a transparent
nylon thread.
 Fold the fabric as illustrated.
 Adjust the presser foot with the adjustment screw B so that the
straight stitches are sewn on the hem and the points of the zigzag
stitches reach only into the upper fold of the fabric.
Sew on the fold, as shown in the illustration.
 Remove the fabric from the machine and straighten it out.
The folded-out fabric now has a blind hem stitch.
TIP
Sewing decorative hems takes some practice and should be practised
on scraps of fabric before starting.
