PRINCIPAL PARTS AND WHAT THEY DO

17. Feed Dogs move the fabric under the presser foot.

18. Bobbin Cover Plate sits over the bobbin and bobbin case. It is transparent, making it

 

easier to monitor the thread supply.

19. Bobbin Cover Release Button is located to the right of the bobbin cover plate. Press it

 

to the right to release the cover when replacing the bobbin.

20.

Spool Pin holds the thread spool. The spool pin holder fits onto the spool pin to allow

 

thread to unwind without tug or drag. The spool pin can be used in either of two ways

 

(horizontally or vertically), depending on the size of the thread spool being used.

21.

Bobbin Winder is used for smoothly and evenly winding thread onto the bobbin.

22.

Carry Handle is built-in, making it easy and convenient for transporting the machine.

23.

Hand Wheel controls the movement of the take-up lever and the needle. Always turn

 

the hand wheel toward you.

24.

Foot Controller Input is located at the back of the machine. The foot controller cord

 

must be plugged into this input before starting to sew.

25.

Foot Controller is used to start the machine sewing. Step on the controller to begin

 

sewing and remove your foot from the controller to stop sewing.

26.

order to provide power to the machine.

is connected to a main power supply.

Presser Foot Lifter is located inside the “C” area of the machine. Use the lever to raise

 

and lower the presser foot. The foot is raised before threading the machine and to

 

remove work from the machine. Lower the presser foot lifter before beginning to sew.

29.

Light Switch & Built-in Sewing Light are used to illuminate the sewing area.

30. Faceplate houses the take-up lever, sewing light, tension mechanism and more.

31.

Thread spool is used to hold and direct the thread into the tension disks.

 

There is a diagram at the top of the machine indicating where the thread slips into

 

the guide.

32. Bobbin case holds the bobbin thread securely, providing adequate tension on the

 

thread while sewing.

*IMPORTANT!

Use only SINGER® brand metal Class 15 bobbins in this sewing machine. The tension on the bobbin thread is operated magnetically. Therefore, the metal bobbin is required. Using transparent or plastic bobbins, though they may seem to fit in the machine, will not allow the machine to function properly, and the stitch result will be unsatisfactory.

Using metal bobbins will provide correct stitch results.
