SPECIAL ACCESSORIES SATIN STITCH FOOT The Satin stitch foot is grooved on the bottom to permit dense stitching to pass under it easily. It is most useful for sewing satin stitches. It can also be used 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 stabilizer or interfacing to avoid puckering. TWIN NEEDLE A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing. When using twin-needles, the stitch width should never be set above twin needle mark, regardless of the stitch you have selected. Doing so will result in broken needles and possible damage to your machine. Use of a Singer Brand twin needle (Style 2025) is strongly recommended. The twin needle is an optional purchase. 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.
