When
you wish to
produce a satin
stitch, make
a test sample first
so you can adjust stitch
length and thread tension properly.
Soft fabric
may require a backing
to ensure a firm stitch.
Crisp
organdy, lawn or a fusible interfacing
are
suitable
for this purpose.

NEEDLE-THREAD
TENSION
Satin stitching
requires
less tension
than
straight
stitching or
open zig-zag
stitching.
Furthermore,
the wider the stitch, the lighter the
tension on
the thread must be. Notice the
stitching on your sample.
If the fabric is
puckered, lower
the needle-thread tension by
turning the
tension dial to a lower number.
