SPECIAL
FINISHING
STITCHES
........
After
the basic construction
of your garment
is finished,
there are still many
finishing
touches
to be done.
To aid your completion
of your garment,
the
Kenmore
has been_designed
to do the following
tasks that formerly
had to be
done
by hand.
SATIN STITCHING
SETTINGS
Special Stitch Dial - Red Dot
Stitch Width Control - Any Number 1 to 4
Stitch
Length Control - Red Zone
Satin Stitch Foot
Use zigzag stitching
plate.
Closely
spaced
zigzag stitches
are called satin stitches.
This is an attractive
stitch
used for appliqueing,
monogramming,
buttonhole
making.
Whenever
you
are using
this stitch,
it is well
to remember
to loosen
the
tension
of the top thread
slightly.
The wider the stitch you make, the looser
the tension
should
be.
If you are stitching
on a very soft fabric,
it is well to use a backing
of tissue
paper or interfacing
for a well formed
stitch.
Puckering
of the material
will
be eliminated
and the bobbin
thread
will
not be visible
on the right
side of
the fabric.
As with all special stitches,
it is best to make a sample design
on your fabric
before starting
the design
on the garment.

APPLIOUEING
SETTINGS
Same as with Satin Stitching
Select an applique
design to be applied
to your garment and baste it in place.
Satin stitch
around
the raw
edge
of
the applique
completely
covering
the
edge.
You may want to do this with
a contrasting
color
of thread
or self
color.
