NEEDLE AND THREAD SELECTION
The selection of thread should be based on the fabric to be stitched. The thread should
blend with the fabric in colour, fibre and size.
Silk and wool fabrics should be stitched with silk thread; cotton fabrics should be stitched
with cotton or cotton mercerised thread, etc. The thread must be of a size that will imbed
itself into the texture of the fabric. Thread that is too heavy for the fabric will : remain on
the surface and become weakened by friction and abrasion when worn.
The selection of the needle should be based on both the fabric and thread being used. The
eye of the needle must be large enough for the thread to pass freely through it. The blade
of the needle must be fine enough not to mar the fabric with too large a puncture, yet heavy
enough to pierce the fabric without binding or deflecting.
You will obtain best stitching results from your Sewing Machine if it is fitted with a
SINGER* Needle.

@ Smooth, even handling of several thicknesses of fabric results

@ Surface finish, as well as the weight and texture of the fabric,
must be considered in determining the amount of pressure
needed.
@ Adjustment of the thumb screw regulates the amount of
pressure exerted on the material while it is being stitched.
© Too light a pressure will result in irregular feeding which
affects both quality of stitch and evenness of seams.
e Too heavy a pressure not only affects stitch and seam quality
but will mar smooth surfaces and pile fabrics.

These basting stitches can be easily removed
by clipping every sixth stitch and with-
drawing the long, continuous thread.
Machine basting is firmer, more even and
much quicker than hand basting.

Pivot on eye of needle. Stop machine
when needle is in this position. Raise

SEWING BIAS SEAMS
Use a shorter stitch when sewing bias or

the seam and to prevent seam failure under

BINDING PS DD
The binder is used to apply commercial as
well as self-fabric bias to an unfinished edge.
This colourful trim is attractive when
applied to children’s wear, aprons and
household textiles. It is a practical finish for
seam edges that ravel and for making bound
seams.
Inserting the Binding
Commercial single fold bias tape is inserted
from the right into slot in binder scroll.
31
e Cut binding diagonally to
form a long point.
O Insert pointed end
into slot and pull
through scroll.
Self-fabric bias binding should be cut
15-16 wide on true bias.
@ Insert unfolded binding directly

Pu
Ie
As binding passes through scroll, the raw
edges are turned in.
32
THE BINDER (Cont’d)
Procedure
® Attach binder to presser bar in place of
regular presser foot.
@ Pull binding through scroll until evenly
folded edges are under needle.
O Insert edge to be bound into centre slot of
— scroll.
Oe Position needle, lower presser bar and
stitch.
To adjust binder
Stitching is positioned in relation to
binding edge by adjustment of binder scroll.
® Loosen adjusting screw.
e Move scroll to right or left as necessary.
e Tighten adjusting screw.
Never pull binding as it feeds through
scroll. Allow attachment to do the work.
Merely guide edge to be bound into centre of
scroll as you stitch.
33
BINDING CURVED EDGES
® Curved edges require slightly different fabric handling from straight edges.
Inside curves are straightened as they are fed into binder. If fabric is soft
and has a tendency to stretch, reinforce edge with a single row of stitching
before binding.
@ Outside curves tend to lead away from centre slot of scroll and should be
guided so that a full seam width is taken at needle point. Do not attempt
to pull or straighten fabric into full length of scroll.

THE RUFFLER (Cont’d)
Length of sewing machine stitch
also affects ruffle fullness. Since a
given attachment setting puts an
equal amount of fullness into each
stitch regardless of its length, shorten-
ing the stitch (more stitches to inch)
makes ruffle fuller; lengthening the
stitch (fewer stitches to inch) makes it less
full. For fine, closely spaced gathering, use
a short stitch and an outward adjustment of
adjusting screw. For deeper, less closely
spaced gathering, turn adjusting screw
inward and use a medium length stitch.

Fabric texture influences performance of
ruffler as well as results. Soft fabrics, cut
on crosswise grain, are best adapted for
gathering ruffles. Always test stitch length
and ruffler setting on a scrap of self-fabric
before proceeding with the actual work.

for stitching to be
placed at any distance
between 1/8” to 1-3/8” from edge cf fabric.

Attachment is used in connection with a
pressor foot. It is secured to bed of machine
in either of threaded holes to right of needle.

SEAMS
For straight seams. Align guide with
prec--r foot. Pin seam edges and baste if
necessary. Guide fabric edges lightly against
guide while stitching.
For curved seams: Set attachment at an
angle so that end closest to needle acts as a
guide. Shorten stitch length for greater
elasticity and strength.

thread up through fabric. Hold both thread
ends and lower needle into fabric.
O Outline area to be darned with running
stitches for reinforcement. Place stitches
1/4” from edge of open area.
O Stitch across opening, moving hoops under
needle at a slight angle from lower left to
upper right. Keep lines of stitching
closely spaced and even in length.
O When opening is filled, turn work 90° and
continue stitching until darn is completed.
O Run machine at moderate speed and con-
“trol hoops with a steady continuous move-
‘ment. Slow movement of hoops will
produce a short stitch; more rapid move-
ment lengthens the stich.
Fairly long stitches are best for knit and
tricot fabrics; short stitches are best for
cottons and linens as they approximate
weave of fabric and are strong enough to
withstand many launderings.
When you have finished darning or em-
broidering:—
@® Raise presser bar lifter.
O Turn pointer of feed throw-out counter-
clockwise to “sew” position.
— O Return stitch regulating lever to its origi-
nal position.
O Assemble presser foot.
The machine is now ready for regular stit-
ching.

The machine should be cleaned periodically
with LINT BRUSH to remove the lint and fluff

structed on pages 46 to 48.
