[. . . ] Place fabric in the embroidery hoop, making sure the fabric is taut. Place the hoop under the foot, positioning the needle over the starting point of the design. Turn the hand wheel forward to bring up the bobbin thread though the fabric. Sew a few securing stitches at the starting point. 19 Firmly hold the hoop with both hands. Press the foot controller and guide the hoop so that the needle stitches on the drawn letter. Maintain a consistent speed and move the fabric slowly. Coordinate sewing speed and movement of hoop. Note: When the feed dogs are lowered, the fabric will not automatically feed. Feeding of fabric is controlled manually. *The Embroidery/Darning Foot is optional. Check the with your SINGER® retailer. 20 Blindstitch Hem A Blindstitch Hem is a fast way to finish hems securely on skirts or pants. It also makes a great choice when hemming large projects such as curtains or bed skirts. Machine Set-Up: Stitch: Pattern Selector: Stitch Width: Stitch Length: Presser Foot: Needle Position: Straight Stretch Stitch A 1, no width Stretch Setting Special Purpose Foot Center Stretch Setting Materials: Denim, folded in half Procedure: Stitch the two layers. Note: Slowly turn the handwheel and watch the needle repeat each stitch 3 times. By repeating the stitch, the stitch is much stronger. 26 Straight Stretch Stitch for Stretch Fabrics In the 1970's, fabrics that had stretch were introduced. Previously, only woventype fabrics were available for home sewers. When a standard straight stitch is sewn on stretch fabric, it will "pop" or break when the fabric is stretched. Special stitches were created to allow "no-pop" sewing on stretch fabrics, and these stitches are called Stretch Stitches or Flexi-stitches. Today, stretch fabrics are used to make exercise outfits, dance customs, swimsuits and much more. As the fabrics of these garments stretch, so do the stitches!Machine Set-Up: Stitch: Pattern Selector: Stitch Width: Stitch Length: Presser Foot: Needle Position: Straight Stretch Stitch A 1, no width Stretch Setting Special Purpose Foot Center Materials: Knit fabric, folded in half Procedure: Stitch the two layers. Stretch Setting Note: After sewing, notice how the stitch stretches with the fabric. 27 Ribbing Application The Overedge Stretch Stitch makes sewing seams on knits look as though they were finished on a serger. This stitch is stronger and more durable than overlock/serger stitching. The stitch incorporates a straight stitch and a finishing stitch into one operation. This allows for professional finish on projects, and is especially popular on sweatshirts. [. . . ] Use the foot's edge as a guide to sew the next row of stitching. Rows will be ¼" apart if the foot is used as a guide. Sew 3 or 4 more rows. Do not clip thread ends until it is determined if any fine adjustments are needed to make the gathers even-looking. 44 Using the Even Feed Foot to Sew Multiple Fabric Layers The Even Feed Foot has its own set of feed dogs that work in conjunction with the machine's feeding system to improve the flow of the fabric. This is particularly important when sewing several layers of fabric, such as in quilting. [. . . ]
