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.
