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 find 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 18). This will help you understand what the 
stitching should look like when you sew.
Use the thread cutter on the machine (see page 7) to trim thread tails when finished sewing. This is 
helpful because thread tails are left long enough so that the needle does not become unthreaded 
when you start sewing again.
