Sewing The Satin Stitch
The foot is clear so you can see exactly where you are sewing, which is critical for an even stitch. Mark out with chalk the path or pattern you wish to follow.
Select a wide zig zag stitch, with a very short stitch length, this gives a good compact stitch. You an sew over the top of the first layer for a more solid stitch effect if you prefer.
Keeping the chalk path to the centre of the foot follow along as your sew slowly, this gives a more even stitch.
Top Tip: Remember to stop, drop the needle, raise the presser foot and pivot around sharp corners. Don't forget to lower the presser foot again when you are ready to begin sewing.
Layering rows of satin stitch with contrasting or fading shades creates a stunning effect for a finished project.
