4. OTHER INFORMATION

SATIN STITCH FOOT

The Satin stitch foot is grooved to permit dense stitching to pass under it easily. It is most useful for sewing satin stitches and as an alternative to the General Purpose Foot when sewing Stretch Stitches.

Closely spaced zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches. This is an attractive stitch used primarily for appliqueing and bar tacking. Slightly loosen top thread tension for satin stitching. Use a backing of tissue paper or interfacing for the sheer materials to avoid puckering.

TWIN NEEDLE (Option)

A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.

Use of a Singer Brand 3mm (Style 2025) Twin Needle is strongly recommended

THREADING THE TWIN NEEDLE

1.Place a spool on each spool pin. Thread the two threads as one. Draw one thread through each needle from front to back.

2.Pick up bobbin thread as for single needle sewing. Pull the three threads together under the presser foot to the back of the machine, leaving about 6” (15 cm) clear.

NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the twin needle.

Helpful Hints:

1.Always select the Twin Needle Mode prior to selecting a pattern. This will preclude any possibility of the twin needle breaking.

2.Turning off the machine returns the machine to normal sewing mode. Twin Needle is only active when the Twin Needle Switch is lit red.
