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

and the electrical components inside.

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.

Free Arm Provides professional results and easy access to cuffs,

collars, pant hems and other difficult-to-reach areas.

Utility Stitches A variety of stitches for fashion sewing, home dec and

quilting.

Horizontal Thread

Delivery

The thread feeds into the threading path in a

horizontal direction, which keeps the thread from

getting too much twist.

Touch-N-Wind™ Declutch

Bobbin Winder

Needle bar easily disengages for winding the bobbin.

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.

Self-Lubricating Because the machine is permanently lubricated,

there is no need to oil the machine, and no oil gets on

fabric.

Peace of mind knowing the machine has a 25 year

limited warranty.

Portable Machine has a built-in carry handle, making it

easy to transport the machine.

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.

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.

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.

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

Procedure:

bobbin thread to completely remove basting.
