Sewing Machine Features:
Electronic Sewing Machine
Sewing machine has push button stitch selection. This
means that the optimal settings for length and width are
automatically set when choosing a stitch. They can be
overridden to personalize length and width choice.
100 Built-In Stitch Programs
A large variety of stitches for construction, decorative
sewing, heirloom sewing and quilting always ensures the
perfect stitch for every project.
Built-In Stretch Stitches
Specially designed stitches that add strength and flexibility
to seams, especially useful when sewing on knitwear.
Built-In Quilting Stitch
Create a hand-sewn quilted look with this unique stitch.
New:
Twin Needle Function
Automatically reduces stitch width on decorative patterns
to prevent needle breakage when sewing with twin needle.
Built-In Heirloom-Friendly Stitch
Selection
Pin Stitch, Blanket Stitch, and Entredeux are a few of the
popular heirloom stitches available.
7mm Stitch Width
Most stitches can be set for a maximum width of 7mm.
When sewing decorative stitches or satin stitches, the wide
stitches are bolder and more pronounced.
One-Step Built-In Buttonholes
Choose from 6 different one-step buttonholes. Buttonhole
sewing is a one-step simple process that provides reliable
results because the sides of the buttonhole sew the same
direction to prevent gaps in stitching or fabric distortion.
New:
Exclusive Buttonhole
Underplate
This is a SINGER
®
developed system that sandwiches
fabric between a lower plate and the foot, to ensure perfect
buttonholes on multiple layers of fabric. Effectively, this is
like a mini-embroidery hoop in which the machine feeds
the attachment, rather than the fabric. It makes creating
buttonholes possible in places that conventional buttonhole
devices cannot easily reach.
New:
Programmable Needle Up and
Down
Select whether the needle is in up or down position when
the machine stops. It is beneficial to have the needle stop
in the
down
position when appliquéing, quilting or pivoting
fabric. When removing fabric or picking the bobbin thread
up, program the needle to raise to the highest position.
