s one of the most common
and versatile
stitches.

and
darning.

The satin stitch is often
used to decorate
and overcast
the
raw edge
on blankets,
linens,
tablecloths
and napkins.
It is
also attractive
in applique.
Once your machine
is set up to stitch, for the best result,
test stitch
on the fabric
being used. A tight satin stitch
may
pucker
some
lightweight
fabrics.
