Satin
Stitch
~
1-4
Use
the
cording
foot.
The
satin
stitch
is obtained by sewing very
short
zigzag stitches,
which
can easily be adjusted,
thanks
to
the
large distance
which
has been
allowed
for
making fine
adjustments
between 0
and
Y,
on the
stitch
length knob.
Use
this
stitch
for
making decorative patterns,
monograms, etc.
A nice raised effect is obtained by covering
the
first
row
of
stitches, once
or
twice, using the same
stitch
width.

For small monograms, marking linen, etc.,
it
is
preferable
to
use
the
darning foot.

Tapered
Stitch
~
1-4-1 ® Y.-Y,
Turn
the
stitch
width lever
into
the
horizontal
position.
The
width
of
the
stitches
can be changed
while
sewing,
to
obtain a stitch
with
a
fuller
or tapered
effect,
as desired.
It
is used
for
making
monograms
and fancy patterns.
For
monogramming,
stretch
the
material on an
embroidery
hoop
or
reinforce
it
by placing paper
under
the
work
.
