SATIN FOOT

The Satin 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.

NOTE on starting to sew with Satin foot:

Pull both threads to the left of the foot before starting to sew

in order to hold threads with the foot or top thread may be

entangled on the underside of fabric.

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 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.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES

Helpful Hints:

1. Always select the Twin Needle Mode prior to

selecting a pattern. This will preclude any

possibility of the twin needle breaking.

2. To disengage Twin Needle Sewing mode and return

the machine to normal sewing mode, either press

the Twin Needle Button again or shut the machine

off. Twin Needle is only active when the Twin

Needle Switch is lit red.

I dropped my feed dogs to do some free motion quilting. I am now unable to raise them back up. It's as though the little switch in the back is stuck, but I cant see anything in there that would be causing it. Submitted on 12-2-2017 at 01:28
