Sewing pins won’t damage the steel surface of the
machine free arm. This feature is particularly beneficial
for quilting.
Duratec™ Frame A SINGER® Exclusive. This provides rigid support and
helps prevent rusting.
Double Insulated Double insulation protects against electric shock by
creating a non-conducting barrier between the operator

Finger Guard Provides additional protection to keep fingers from
getting too close to the needle area. This is especially
helpful and desirable for high speed sewing.

desired, to suit any project.
Multiple Needle Positions Needle position can be changed for individual projects,
such as inserting zippers or cording and topstitching.
Horizontal Thread
Delivery
The thread feeds into the threading path in a
horizontal direction, which keeps the thread from
getting too much twist.

Automatic Tension This system ensures stable stitch quality, whatever
type of fabric is being used.
Jam-Resistant Bobbin System This is a system in which the bobbin case actually
floats above the hook, precluding thread jams. The
machine will not jam, even when sewing on sheer
fabric or no fabric at all!
Top-Loading Drop-In Bobbin The bobbin conveniently inserts-no bobbin cases to
remove or adjust. It is easy to monitor the thread
supply.
Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter There are 2 heights to the presser foot lifter. The
second height offers ¼” more clearance, which is
needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric
under the presser foot.
Thread Cutter Located for precise thread cutting, eliminating the
extra step of cutting thread with scissors.
Automatic Pressure System This feature automatically adjusts the pressure for
sewing on fabrics from the lightest weight tricots to
the heaviest denim, to maximize feed accuracy.
Twin Needle Capable Stitches can be adjusted for twin needle
sewing by just moving a lever.
Suction Cup Machine Base Holds the machine securely to the table, even when
sewing at maximum speed.

1
Straight Stitching
The Straight Stitch is generally used to join seams or do topstitching. It is the
most basic of the stitches and is the most commonly used. For a longer stitch
or for thicker fabrics, lengthen the Stitch Length.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Straight Stitch
Pattern Selector: A
Stitch Width: 1, no width
Stitch Length: 3-4
Presser Foot: General Purpose Foot
Needle Position: Center
Materials:
(2) 4” x 4” pieces of cotton, right sides together
Procedure:
Place fabrics under the foot, matching the raw
edges with the ⅝” seam guide.
Sew the length of the fabric.
Use the Reverse Button to reinforce the seam.
2
Straight Stitch for Topstitching
The Straight Stitch can be sewn “on top” of the fabric so that the stitches are
visible. This is different from using the straight stitch to join a seam hidden
inside the project. A topstitch provides a decorative touch while holding the
seam allowances flat. It is also sturdy and durable.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Straight Stitch
Pattern Selector: A
Stitch Width: 1, no width
Stitch Length: 3-4
Presser Foot: General Purpose Foot
Needle Position: Center
Materials:
(1) 5” x 5” piece of cotton
Procedure:
Press a 1” hem on one side of the edge.
Align the folded edge to the edge of the foot.
Sew.
Use the Reverse Button to reinforce the seam.
3
Create Quilted Fabric
Create your own quilted fabric with the Straight Stitch. Texture can be added to
plain fabric by just adding consecutive rows of straight stitches!
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Straight Stitch
Pattern Selector: A
Stitch Width: 1, no width
Stitch Length: 3-4
Presser Foot: General Purpose Foot
Needle Position: Center
Materials:
(2) 5” x 5” pieces of cotton with batting between the two fabrics,
creating a quilt-type sample
Procedure:
Sew diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
Use the Reverse Lever to reinforce the seam.
Position the foot’s edge so that it rides on the previous row of stitching.
Sew successive rows using the edge of the foot to ensure even spacing and
straight lines.
Change the direction, sew diagonally from the top right corner to the
bottom left corner.
4
Speed Basting
Basting is used to temporarily hold fabrics together. Stitch length and tension
are adjusted to create a looser stitch. This stitch can easily be removed with a
seam ripper or simply pulled out.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Straight Stitch
Pattern Selector: A
Stitch Width: 1, no width
Stitch Length: 5
Presser Foot: General Purpose Foot
Tension: Adjust the tension setting to a smaller number
Needle Position: Center
Materials:
(2) 4” x 4” pieces of cotton, right sides together
Procedure:
Place under the foot, matching the raw edges with the ⅝” seam guide.
Sew the length of the fabric.
Use the seam ripper to remove a portion of the basting, or simply pull the
bobbin thread to completely remove basting.
5
Making Piping
Piping adds a beautiful finish to projects such as pillows, sleeve edges, collars
and more. The design of the Zipper Foot allows for the needle to stitch very
closely to the edge of the foot. This is important when inserting zippers,
applying piping or when topstitching close to the fabric’s edge. Only the
Straight Stitch can be used when sewing with the Zipper Foot.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Straight Stitch
Pattern Selector: A
Stitch Width: 1, no width
Stitch Length: 3-4
Presser Foot: Zipper Foot
Needle Position: Center
Materials:
5” x 6” home décor fabric
7” piping cord
Procedure:
Fold fabric, wrong sides together.
Place piping inside of the fold.
On the right side of the fabric, sew a straight stitch close to the piping.
Note: The Zipper Foot can be attached right or left, allowing for
the piping to be inserted from either side.
