does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Attention:
Your SINGER® machine is adjusted to provide the best
stitch result at normal room temperature. Extreme hot and
cold temperatures can affect the sewn result.
Optional Accessories:
For information about additional presser feet, attachments
and accessories that may be available for your machine, visit
www.singer.com.
Please Note:
When the bobbin winder spindle is in “bobbin winding”
position, the machine will not sew and the hand wheel will not
turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder spindle to the
left (sewing position).
Attention:
Turn power switch to off (“O”) before inserting or removing
the bobbin.
Attention:
Turn power switch to off (“O”)!
Note:
If it is difficult to raise the bobbin thread, check to make
sure the thread is not trapped by the hinged cover or the
Removable Extension Table.
Lay both threads to the back under the presser foot. (3)

Please note:
-- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
-- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch
functions, thread or fabric.
-- A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom)
is usually only desirable for straight stitch construction
sewing.
-- 90% of all sewing will be between ”3” and ”5”.
-- 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.

Blind Hem:
Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Fold back
(as shown in Fig. 1) against the right side of the fabric with
the top edge of the hem extending about 7 mm (1/4“) to the
right side of the folded fabric.
Start to sew slowly on the fold, making sure the needle
touches slightly the folded top to catch one or two fabric
threads. (2)
Unfold the fabric when hemming is completed and press.
Note:
To make blind hem sewing even easier, use a blind hem
foot, available from your SINGER® retailer.

Place the button and fabric under the Button Sewing foot, as
illustrated in (3).
Set the machine for zig-zag stitch, then set the width to
number “3” - “6”. Turn the handwheel to check that the
needle goes cleanly into the left and right holes of the button.
Adjust the stitch width, as needed, according to the distance
between the holes of the button. Slowly sew on the button
with about 10 stitches.
Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for
straight stitch again, then sew a few securing stitches to
finish.
