The Satin stitch is a versatile and often used decorative stitch, but it can also be used to overcast a raw edge {'for example, blankets, linens, tablecloths and napkins).

The Satin stitch is especially attractive in applique,

Once your machine is set up to stitch, you may want to experiment on a scrap of the fabric you are planning to use. Too tight a satin stitch may pucker some lightweight labdcs.
