SEWING STITCH PATTERNS

SEWING STITCH PATTERNS

Sewing Attractive Finishes

To achieve attractive results when sewing character/decorative stitches, check the table below for the proper fabric/needle/thread combinations.

Note

Other factors, such as fabric thickness, stabilizer material, etc., also have an effect on the stitch, so you should always sew a few trial stitches before beginning your project.

When sewing satin stitch patterns, there may be shrinking or bunching of stitches, so be sure to attach a stabilizer material.

Guide the fabric with your hand to keep the fabric feeding straight and even during sewing.

Fabric

When sewing on stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics, or fabrics with coarse weaves, attach stabilizer on the

 

wrong side of the fabric. If you do not wish to do so, place the fabric on a thin paper such as tracing paper.

CAUTION

When sewing 7 mm satin stitch patterns and the stitches are bunched, lengthen the stitch length. If you continue sewing when the stitches are bunched, the needle may bend or break (see “Setting the Stitch Length” on page 42).
