I--1 Two-step presser foot lifter
When sewing several layers of thick fabrics, the presser foot
can be raised to a high rise position for easy positioning of the
work (A).
DAdjusting presser foot pressure
The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set at
maximum pressure and requires no particular readjustment
according to the type of fabric (light or heavy weight).
However, if you need to adjust the presser foot pressure, turn
the pressure adjusting screw with a coin.
For sewing very thin fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the
screw counterclockwise.

I-7 Inserting and changing needles
Change the needle regularly, especially if it is showing signs
of wear and causing problems. For best sewing results
always use Singer brand needles.
Insert the needle as illustrated as follows:
•Loosen the needle clamp screw and tighten again after
inserting the new needle (A).
•The flat side of the shaft should be towards the back
(B).
• Insert the needle as far up as it will go (C/D).
Attention:
Turn power switch to "off' before inserting or removing the
needle.
Needles must be in perfect condition.
Problems can occur with:
• bent needles (a)
•blunt needles (b)
• damaged points (c)

1"7 Threading the upper thread
This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out
correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could
r_e,sulL
•Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and also
raise the presser foot to release the tension discs. (2)
Note: For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the
power before threading.
• Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the
holder with the thread coming off the spool as shown. (3)
For small thread spools, place small side of spool holder
next to spool.
• Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide.
(4)
•Guide thread around thread guide (5) pulling thread
through pre-tension spring as illustrated.
• Thread tension module by leading thread down right
channel and up left channel (6). During this process it is
helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread
guide (4).
• At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left
through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then
downwards again. (7)
• Pass thread behind the flat, horizorital thread guide. (8)
•Now take thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide
and then down to the needle which should be threaded
from front to back. Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the
rear beyond the needle eye. (9)
Note: If your sewing machine is equipped with the factory
installed optional automatic needle threder, instructions for
use can be found on page 14.
13
DOptional automatic needle threader
*The Automatic Needle threader is a factory installed option.
If your machine has this option use the following
instructions:
- Raise the needle to its highest position
- Press lever (A) down as far as it will go
- The threader automatically swings to the threading position
(B)
-- Pass thread around thread guide (C)
- Pass the thread in front of the needle around the hook (D)
from bottom to top
- Release lever (A)
- Pull the thread through the needle eye.

I--1 Thread tension
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: 4.
To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.
To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.
• Normal thread tension for straight stitch sewing (A).
•Thread tension too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn
dial to hiQher number (B).
•Thread tension too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn
dial to lower number (C).
•Normal thread tension for zig zag and decorative sewing
(D).
Please note:
• Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
•There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch
functions, thread on fabric.
• A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and
bottom) is usually only desireable for straight stitch
construction sewing.
•90% of all sewing will be between 3 and 5 (4 is basic
setting).
• For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread
tension should generally be less than for straight stitch
sewing.
•For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer
stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread
appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

To secure the beginning and end of
seam, press down the reverse
sewing lever. Sew a few reverse
stitches. Release the lever and the
machine will sew forwards again (A).

Pull the threads behind the presser foot. Guide the
threads to the side of the face plate and into thread
cutter (B). Pull threads down to cut.

3. Lower the presser foot aligning thff marks on foot with the marks
on the fabric (A). (The front bar ta_ckwill '_be sewn first.) (Align the
mark on the fabric (1) With the mark 0ntbe foot (2).
4. Open the button plate and insert the button (B).
5. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently push it back (C).
6. While lightly holding the upper thread, start the machine.

Making aButtonhole on Stretch Fabrics (E)
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy thread or
cord under the buttonhole foot. When the buttonhole is sewn the
legs will overcast the cord.

chalk, attach the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern selector
dial to (!1). Set stitch length dial to (r--_).
2. Hook the heavy thread onto the back end of the buttonhole foot,
then bring the two heavy thread ends to the front of the foot,
insert them into the grooves and temporarily tie them there.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
*Set the stitch width _o match the diameter of the gimp thread.

DLeft and right side balance for buttonhole
Stitch density on right and left sides of bottonhole can be
adujsted by buttonhole balance control dial.

and "-")
If the stitches on the right side of buttonhole are too close
together, turn the dial to the left (+).
* Turning dial to the left opens right side and closes the left
side.
If the stitches on the right side of the buttonhole are too open,
turn the dial to the right (-).

I--1 The evenfeed foot optional accessory
* The evenfeed foot is an optional accessory not supplied with this
machine.
Always try. to sew first without the evenfeed foot accessory which
should be used only when necessary.
It is easier to guide the fabric and you have a better view of the
seam when using the standard, regular foot on your machine. Your
sewing machine offers excellent stitch quality on a wide range of
fabrics from delicate chiffons to multiple layers of denim.
The Evenfeed Foot accessory equalizes the feeding of the upper
and lower layers of fabric and improves the matching of plaids,
stripes and patterns. It also helps to prevent uneven feeding of very
difficult fabrics.
1) Lift the presser foot lifter to raise the presser foot bar (1).
2) Remove the presser foot holder by unscrewing
(counterclockwise) the presser bar attaching screw (2).
3) Attach the Evenfeed Foot to the machine as follows:
i) The arm (3) should fit above the needle screw and clamp
(4).
ii) Slide the plastic attaching head (5) from your left to right so
that it is fitted into the presser foot bar.
iii) Lower the presser foot bar (1)
iv) Replace and tighten (clockwise) the presser bar attaching
screw (2).
4) Make sure both the needle screw (4) and the presser bar
attaching screw (2) are tightly secured.
5) Draw the bobbin thread up and place both the bobbin thread
and the needle thread behind the evenfeed foot attachment.
