AUTO

For basic sewing with standard thread, the tension lever will normally remain at the AUTO setting. However, the tension can be tightened or loosened to compensate for decorative stitches, decorative threads, speciality fabrics or certain sewing techniques.

Pour une couture de base avec un fil standard, la manette de tension doit normalement être réglée sur AUTO. Cependant, la tension peut être augmentée ou diminuée pour compenser l'effet de fils décoratifs, points décoratifs, de tissus spéciaux ou de certaines techniques de couture.

Para costura básica con hilo común, la palanca de tensión normalmente permanece en AUTO. Sin embargo, la tensión puede aumentarse o disminuirse para balancear las puntadas, especialmente en diferentes tipos de telas o tejidos o bien en algunas técnicas de costura.

Always use SINGER needles for best results.

Change the needle regularly (approximately after sewing two to three projects). Damaged fabric and poorly formed stitches are usually caused by a bent, blunt or burred needle. The above chart will assist in finding the correct needle for the type and weight of your fabric.

Pour de meilleurs résultats, utilisez toujours des aiguilles SINGER.

Remplacez l'aiguille régulièrement (après avoir cousu deux ou trois projets environ). L'endommagement des tissus et la mauvaise formation des points sont souvent dus à des aiguilles tordues, émoussées ou rugueuses. Le tableau ci-dessus vous aidera à trouver l'aiguille idéale pour le type et l'épaisseur de votre tissu.

Siempre utilice agujas SINGER para mejores resultados.

Cambie regularmente las agujas (aproximadamente después de coser dos o tres trabajos de costura).Tejidos mal formados o de baja calidad son normalmente causados por una aguja dañada. La tabla de telas, hilos y agujas le ayudará a encon- trar la aguja correcta para cada tipo de tela.
