Satin stitch
So-called satin stitch, a zigzag stitch in which the stitches are very close
together, is particularly suitable for appliqué, monograms, and various dec-
orative stitches.

TIP
Whenever you use this stitch, reduce the upper thread tension slightly. The
wider the stitch, the lower the upper thread tension should be. If you are
sewing very thin or soft fabrics, you should place a thin piece of paper un-
der the fabric and sew this too. This prevents stitches being missed and the
material gathering.

Blind stitch
TIP
Sewing blind stitch requires some practice and should be practised on
remnants of fabric before sewing.
For blind hemming.

Use a thread colour that exactly matches the fabric.
If you are sewing very light or transparent fabrics, use a transparent nylon
thread.
To attach the guide attachment, loosen the screw () on the presser
foot holder and slide the guide attachment under the screw as shown
in the diagram.
Tighten the screw again.
Place the fabric down in front of you with the top facing down.
Fold the seam allowance onto the underside of the fabric (A), as shown
in the diagram.
Now fold the hem allowance onto the underside as well and pin the
seam allowance and hem allowance in place (see diagram opposite).
Then fold the entire blind hem over at the edge of the fabric, as illus-
trated in the diagram. The edge of the fabric should overlap the seam
allowance slightly.
Sew carefully along the fold,
making sure that the straight stitches are sewn on the hem and that the
tips of each of the zigzag stitches only pierce the top fold of the fabric.
If you are using the guide attachment, the seam fold must be lined up
exactly with the guide attachment.
Now take the fabric out of the machine and straighten it out.
The folded-out fabric now has a blind hem stitch.
