Satin Stitch Foot

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 Iooserthe 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.

Zigzag Stitch Foot

To repair a straight or three-cornered tear, position the tear under the needle in such a way that the stitching catches both sides of the tear. When mending a

three-cornered tear, stitch from each end to the center. It is well to use a piece of fabric under the tear for reinforce- ment.
