Closely spaced zigzag stitches are called satin stitches. This is an attractive stitch used for
appliqueing, bar tacking or sewing on buttons,
Whenever you are using this stitch, it is well to remember 'to loosen the tension of the top
thread slightly. The wider the stitch sewn the looser the tension.
If you are stitching on a very soft fabric, it is well to use a backing of tissue paper or inter-
facing for a well formed stitch. Puckering of the material will be eliminated and the
bobbin thread will not be visible on the top side of the fabric.
It is best to practice a sample design on a fabric scrap before sewing design on garment.
APPLIQUEING
SETTINGS
Same as with Satin Stitching
Select an applique design to be applied to
your garment and baste it in place. Satin
stitch around the raw edge of the
applique completely covering the edge.
You may want to do this with a con-
trasting color of thread or self color.
