®
Class 15 metal bobbins.
Use only this style of bobbin when purchasing additional bobbins for your machine. Do not substitute
with plastic bobbins.
1. Place thread spool and corresponding size
spool holder onto spool pin. Spool holder
should be large enough to cover the end of the
thread spool so thread unreels smoothly. Use
the larger side of the spool cap for big spools
and the smaller side of the cap for small
spools of thread.
2. (A) Slip thread into guide at top of machine.
(B) Place thread snuggly around bobbin
winding tension disk to ensure that thread
winds onto bobbin smoothly and consistently.
(C) Thread bobbin as shown, then place it onto
the bobbin winding spindle.
3. Check that bobbin is pushed down  rmly (A).
If it is not, the thread could begin winding
under the bobbin. Push the bobbin and spindle
rmly to the right (B).
4. Hold the thread end to get ready to wind.
Step on the foot control gently as you hold the
thread end. Allow it to wind a few revolutions
slowly, then remove your foot from the foot
control to stop.

Before You Start Sewing
START SEWING
Now that your machine is threaded, we will show how to set up the machine for basic sewing
techniques such as: sewing a straight stitch, sewing a decorative stitch, sewing a stretch stitch,
sewing a buttonhole and sewing a button. With each technique, you have the opportunity to sew
along.
For more information about the various stitches on your machine and how to use them, refer to the
Stitch Reference Guide by visiting www.singerco.com.
Here are a few other tips that you may nd helpful before you begin:
When unpacking the machine, you may have noticed some small traces of oil around the needle plate
or presser foot area. If so, wipe off any excess oil with a soft, dry cloth before you start sewing. It is
also recommended that you sew on a piece of scrap fabric to remove excess oil.
The foot control is used to control the speed of your sewing. When you press down on the foot
control, the machine will sew. The greater the pressure you place on the foot control, the faster the
machine will sew. When you take your foot off the foot control, the machine will stop.
Needles are an important part of sewing. Using old, damaged or incorrect needles for your projects
can affect sewing results. For information about which needle to use for your project, refer to the
Stitch Reference Guide at www.singerco.com. For information on how to change the needle, See
Page 25.
Depending on the sewing technique you want to do, it may be necessary to change to a different
presser foot. For information on how to do this, See Page 26.
Review the page about Stitch Formation (See Page 17). This will help you understand what the
stitching should look like when you sew.
Use the thread cutter on the machine (See Page 6) to trim thread tails when nished sewing. This
is helpful because thread tails are left long enough so that the needle does not become unthreaded
when you start sewing again.
17
Stitch Formation
START SEWING
1. How Stitches Form
Stitches are formed when the upper thread
and the bobbin thread interlock between the
fabric layers. Stitching is well balanced when
the needle thread appears on the top and the
bobbin thread appears on the bottom.
2. Thread Tension Dial
The Thread Tension Dial has a range of
settings between 0 and 9. Most of your sewing
will be done with your Thread Tension Dial set
between 3 and 5. It can be adjusted to a higher
number for more tension on the upper thread,
if the upper thread seems too loose. It can be
adjusted to a lower number for less tension on
the upper thread, if the bobbin thread seems to
be showing on the top side of the fabric.
Adjusting Tension
Thread tension can also be adjusted for
various sewing techniques. For basting (see
Appendix), you can loosen it to a lower number
so that the stitches can easily be removed. For
gathering, you can turn it to a higher number.
3.
When you sew, if you see large loops
on the underside of the fabric, this is actually
an indication that the upper thread was
not threaded correctly, as it has no tension
controlling it. For information on how to correct
this, see the Troubleshooting and Maintenance
section of this manual.

Sewing a Straight Stitch
START SEWING
SEW ALONG:
1. Set the machine to straight stitch 00. The machine will automatically
default to straight stitch when it is turned on.
2. The Stitch Length is automatically set to 2.5. This is an average stitch
length setting for regular sewing.
3. Place the fabric under the All-Purpose Foot or the Sew Easy Foot
(See Page 26) with the right-hand edge of the fabric lined up with
the desired seam guide line on the right side of the needle plate.
Lower the presser foot, then step on the foot control to begin sewing.
Always make sure that the presser foot is lowered before you begin
to sew. If you fail to do so, the machine will jam as you begin to sew.
Start your seam by sewing 2 to 3 stitches. Press the reverse button
to sew backwards 2 to 3 stitches, which will lock the end of the seam
so the stitches don’t come undone. Release the reverse button to
sew forward again. Continue sewing the length of the seam. Press
the reverse button at the end of the seam and sew backwards 2 to 3
stitches. Release the reverse button to sew forward again to nish.
Function ButtonsLCD Display
Use a slightly shorter stitch length for lightweight fabrics, ner threads and needles. Use a longer
stitch length such as 3 or 4 for heavy weight fabrics.
It may be helpful to gently hold the thread tails with your left hand for the rst few stitches, as this
will help guide the fabric under the foot as you begin to sew.
A straight stitch is used for sewing seams and topstitching.
HOW TO:
1. Set the machine to straight stitch. The machine will automatically default to straight stitch when it
is turned on.
2. The Stitch Length can be set at the stitch length that you desire. (See Page 19)
