SATIN
STITCHING
This
is
useful
for
decoration such
as
tapering,
manual
designed
embroidery,
monogramming,
and
applique.
The
satin
stitch,
which
is
a
very
close
zigzag
stitch,
is
obtained
by
setting
the
stitch
length
as
near
to
“0”
as
possible
without
stopping
the
feeding
action.
The
setting
will
vary for
different
fabrics.
It
may
be
desirable
to loosen
the
upper
tension
slightly
to
cause
the
threads
to
lock
underneath,
in
order
to
make
the
top
surface
look
especially
smooth.
For
lightweight
fabrics,
place
paper
underneath
the
fabric
while
sewing
for
best
results.

TAPERING/CREATIVE
EMBROIDERY
Tapering
is
done
by
gradually
increasing
and
decreasing
the
stitch
width
while
sewing.
By
this
method,
tapered
monograms
and
other
in
teresting
designs
can
be
created.
For
tapered
monograms
run
the
machine
fast
while
turning
the
width
dial
slowly
from
narrow
to
wide
and
back.
First,
learn
this
stroke
by
letting
the
fabric
guide
straight.
Then,
learn
to
pivot
the
fabric
as
you
are
tapering
by
holding
the
fabric
at
one
point.
Various
strokes
can
be
combined
to
form
letters
and
designs.
Variegated
thread
can
give
attrac
tive
results.
