SPECIAL FINISHING STITCHES ........

After the basic construction of your garment is finished, there are still many finishing touches to be done. To aid your completion of your garment, the Kenmore has been_designed to do the following tasks that formerly had to be done by hand.

SATIN STITCHING

SETTINGS

Special Stitch Dial - Red Dot

Stitch Width Control - Any Number 1 to 4

Stitch Length Control - Red Zone

Satin Stitch Foot

Use zigzag stitching plate.

Closely spaced zigzag stitches are called satin stitches. This is an attractive

stitch used for appliqueing, monogramming, buttonhole making.

Whenever you are using this stitch, it is well to remember to loosen the

tension of the top thread slightly. The wider the stitch you make, the looser the tension should be.

If you are stitching on a very soft fabric, it is well to use a backing of tissue paper or interfacing for a well formed stitch. Puckering of the material will be eliminated and the bobbin thread will not be visible on the right side of the fabric.

As with all special stitches, it is best to make a sample design on your fabric before starting the design on the garment.

APPLIOUEING

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 contrasting color of thread or self color.
