Instruction Book for the
Singer* Sewing Machine
For Treadle Machine Owners
To adjust your machine for treadle sewing,
loosen hand wheel knob A by turning it toward
you with the right hand while holding hand wheel
with the left hand.
Place both feet on the treadle as illustrated. Turn
hand wheel over toward you, allowing your feet to
move freely with the motion of the treadle. Prac
tice this motion until you are able to start and
keep the machine in operation with the hand
wheel turning toward you. Remember that the
faster you operate the treadle, the faster the
machine will sew.
When you have
become accustomed
to the treadle motion,
tighten the hand wheel
knob by turning it away
from you. Place a
piece of material under
the presser foot and
lower the presser foot
lifter. Now operate the
machinefwithout
thread) until you
become accustomed
to guiding the material.
Enjoy Sewing!

Setting Selectors
Before you move the selectors to set your machine for
straight stitching, turn the hand wheel toward you until
the needle is above the needle plate.
• Needle Position: L [X] JL
• Stitch Width. □ Ilii
• Stitch Length; 1.5-4 to suit fabric
Straight stitching can be performed with any one of
the stitch pattern discs in place and stitch width lever
at j only.
Adjusting Stitch Length
The stitch length dial controls the length of stitches.
The numbers around the edge of the dial express
stitch length in mm; the lower the number, the shorter
the stitch. Generally, shorter stitches are best fdr light
weight fabric. The area from 0 to 1 is used for the
adjustment of zig-zag satin stitching (see page 40).
Setting the Dial
• Turn dial so that stitch length desired is positioned
under symbol.
• To shorten stitch length, turn dial toward a lower
number.
• To lengthen stitch length, turn dial toward a higher
number.
For reverse stitching, depress push button located in
centre of dial, hold in until reverse stitching is com
pleted, then release push button.

Page 30
Page 31
Needle Thread Tension
Having selected the correct needle and thread com
bination for the fabric being used, it may be necessary
to adjust the tension of the sewing machine to insure
a well-balanced stitch.
A well-balanced stitch is produced when the top and
under thread appear the same on the fabric.
Your machine has an adjustable top tension control
system. This control exerts tension on the threads as
they pass through the machine to form a stitch.
• Too much tension will produce a tight stitch which
will cause puckered seams.
• Too little tension will produce a loose stitch.
When an even amount of tension is exerted on both
threads, a smooth even stitch known as a balanced
stitch, is produced.
Tension Test
To help understand the effect of tension on fabric and
thread, try this simple test:
• Take two pieces of a medium weight woven fabric
in a solid light colour about 15cm (6 inches) long.
• Place a 2020 size 14 needle in the machine.
• Thread the top of your machine with a polyester or
cotton dark colour thread and use a lighten colour
thread of the same fibre and size in the bobbin.
• Select straight stitch.
• Seam the two pieces of fabric together starting with
the top tension control at 1. Then as you sew, slowly
turn the tension control from 1 through 9.
• Sew another row turning the dial back to 1. You
should have a balanced stitch on each row mid-way
between the start and finish in each case.
• The different coloured threads will help you to see
the effect that the tension has on the top and bottom
threads.
Now that you have observed the effects of tension,
we suggest that you perform a similar test on a scrap
of fabric you plan to use, being sure to duplicate the
number of thicknesses of your garment.

Sewing a Seam
1. Select straight stitch and set the stitch length dial
on desired setting. Raise presser foot. Pull thread
back under presser foot leaving at least 10cm
(4 inches) of thread.
2. Position needle approximately 1.3cm (1/2 inch) from
fabric edge. Then lower presser foot and backstitch
almost to the edge of the fabric for reinforcement
by stitching in reverse direction. For additional in
formation on reverse stitching refer to page 28.
Stitch forward to end of seam and stop machine
before the end of stitching line. (Do not sew beyond
edge of fabric.)
CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you are
stitching as this may deflect the needle causing it
to break.
3. Raise needle by turning hand wheel toward you.
Press reverse stitch push button, and back stitch
1.3cm (1/2 inch) to reinforce end of stitching.
4. Raise needle by turning hand wheel toward you.
Raise foot and remove fabric by drawing if to the
back and to the left. Cut threads on thread cutter at
rear of presser bar.

needle into fabric.
• Stitch across opening, moving hoop under needle
at a slight angle from lower left to upper right. Keep
lines of stitching closely spaced and even in length.
When opening is filled, cover area with crosswise
lines of stitching.
Quilting
Quilting is the art of stitching two or more thicknesses
of fabric together in a planned design. A padding is
stitched to the underside of the fabric to produce a
soft, puffed effect that is becoming to some wearing
apparel and to many fabric furnishings.
Preparing the Fabric
Baste a light padding of cotton flannel, synthetic quilt
batting, sheet wadding, or a lightweight wool interlin
ing to the underside of the fabric. When using sheet
wadding, first back it with voile, batiste, or net to pre
serve the sheet wadding through wear. Baste the lay
ers of fabric and padding together on the lengthwise
and crosswise grains.
Basic Procedure
• Draw both threads under the foot and diagonally
across feed to left.
• Position the needle, lower the foot and start stitching.

4. Basic Zig-Zag Stitching
Wv^^^WAAAAAAA/mWA
Setting Selectors
Begin by inserting your zig-zag stitch pattern disc 1
onto your sewing machine, following the steps given
on page 46.
Before turning selector, make sure needle is out of
the fabric.
Needle Position Selector
Most of your zig-zag stitching will be done in centre
JL
needle position.
Left L and right JL settings are used for special
stitch placement.
stitch Width Selector
To produce a plain zig-zag or a decorative stitch, the
stitch width selector is moved-from its straight stitch
position : to any of its other four positions. The fur
ther you nrlove the selector toward the right, the wider
your stitch will be.
Adjusting Stitch Length
Any stitch length setting from 1 to 4 will give you an
open zig-zag stitch.
The higher the number, the more open, or farther
apart your stitches will be.
The area between 0 and 1 on the dial is used for the
adjustment of zig-zag satin stitching, a series of closely
spaced plain zig-zag stitches that form a smooth,
satin-like surface. (Refer to page 40 for information
on satin stitching.)
Bobbin Thread Tension
Bobbin thread tension iscontrolledby screw A located
on the bobbin case. The tension is set at the factory for
regular sewing and should not be adjusted unless the
corners of a zig-zag stitch cannot be locked by adjust
ing the needle thread tension.
On those rare occasions when it becomes necessary
to adjust the bobbin thread tension, use a very small
screwdriver. A very slight turn of screw A will change
the appearance of your stitching.
• To increase tension, turn screw to the right.
• To decrease tension, turn screw to the left.

Satin Stitching
When you wish to produce a satin stitch, make a test
sample first so you can cidjust stitch length and thread
tension properly. Soft fabric may require a backing to
insure a firm stitch. Crisp organdy, lawn or a fusible
interfacing are suitable for this purpose.
Accessory and Selector Settings
• Pattern: Zig-Zag Disc 1
• Needle Position; JL [X] A
• Stitch Width:
Stitch Length: 0 to 1
General Purpose Needle Plate
General Purpose Foot
TIT
Adjusting Stitch Length
• Turn stitch length selector dial to 1.
• Run the machine, at a slow speed and slowly turn
stitch length dial toward the right until stitches are
closely spaced and form a smooth surface.
Adjusting Needle Thread Tension
Zig-zag stitching usually requires less needle thread
tension than straight stitching. Thread machine cor
rectly and make a test sample with the same fabric,
thread, needle and stitch pattern combination you
plan to use. Stitches should lie flat without causing
fabric to pucker.
If puckering occurs, lower the tension by turning dial
to a lower number. An underlay or tissue paper back
ing may be needed.
Satin stitching requires less tension than straight
stitching or open zig-zag stitching. Furthermore, the
wider the stitch,, the lighter the tension on the thread
must be. Notice the stitching on your sample. If the
fabric is puckered, lower the needle-thread tension
by turning the tension dial to a lower number.

Page 43
Stitch Usage
Appliqué
The stitch most commonly used in appliqué is a plain
zig-zag, closely spaced to form a satin stitch. The
width of this stitch can be varied to accommodate
fabrics of different weaves and textures. Other stitch
patterns can also be used.
Preparation
Make a test sample to decide which of the following
methods is the most appropriate for your fabric and
design. Mark design on piece of fabric to be appliquéd.
Cut out design leaving about 2 cm (3/4 inch) margin
all around. Position the design. Baste it to the fabric.
Method 1
• Select pattern and adjust stitch width dial for desired
appliqué stitch. Adjust stitch length to fine setting,
between 1 and 0.
• Follow the outer edge of the design with a decora
tive stitch.
• Trim away the excess fabric on the outer edges of
the stitching.
Method 2
• Select straight stitch.
• Outline the entire design with a short stitch
• Trim raw edges to the stitching and remove basting.
• Select stitch pattern and stitch width desired, and
set stitch length on a satin stitch setting for a closely
spaced stitch, between 1 and 0.
• Stitch, following the straight stitch outline. This
method will produce a smooth overedged finish,
with no raw edges to be trimmed after stitching.
Methods
• Purchased motifs can be appliqued quickly and
easily by using either a straight or decorative stitch.
42
Page 44

Page 45
Zig-Zag Seam Finishes
Seam edges support the garment and should be given
a durable finish if the fabric is likely to ravel. There are
two methods of finishing seams in such fabrics: trim
ming seam edge or overedging. Make a test sample to
determine which method best suits your fabric.
• Pattern: Zig-Zag Disc 1
• Needle Position: !• [2 -I
• Stitch Width: i ||| ^ § |
• Stitch Length: 1 to 3 to suit fabric
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• General Purpose Foot
Method 1 — Trimmed Seam Finish
• Adjust stitch width and length to give you the most
open stitch that will secure the fabric edge; avoid
harsh overstitching.
• Stitch near the edge of seam allowance and trim
seam edges evenly after stitching.
Method 2—Overedge Seam Finish
• Adjust needle thread tension, stitch width and stitch
length to suit fabric.
• Trim seam edges evenly.
• Place trimmed seam under the foot and overedge
the seam allowance as illustrated.
Lingerie Seams
To make a lingerie seam durable and flexible use the
plain zig-zag stitch at a narrow width setting. This
seam treatment is particularly suitable for bias seams.
When seaming nylon tricot insert a 2045 needle in the
machine before you begin to sew.
• Straight stitch the seam line on wrong side of fabric.
• Press both seam allowances in the same direction.
• From the right side, topstitch with narrow zig-zag
stitching, letting the needle alternately enter the
seam line and seam thickness. (Stitch width narrow;
stitch length 1 to 1.5.)

5. Pattern Stitching
Selecting a Stitch
Your sewing machine comes with eleven pattern discs
which will allow you to produce a variety of stitch patr
terns by simply inserting the disc of the pattern desired.
Each pattern disc is numbered and has the stitch
printed on its surface to aid your selection.
Choose a stitch that best suits your sewing applica
tions. For additional information on stitch pattern
usage, refer to the next page.
Changing Pattern Discs

Adjusting Stitches
for Stretch Fabrics
Guiding and Supporting Fabric
Most fabrics of stretch or knit construction need only
to be guided in front of the presser foot when you use
one of the stretch stitches. Some fabrics—nylon tricot
and eiasticized fabrics, for example—do require sup
port while being stitched.
1. For nylon tricot and similar synthetic knits, apply
gentle tension by holding the seam in front and back
of the presser foot as you sew.
2. For eiasticized fabric, stretch lace, and knits with an
unusual amount of elasticity, apply firm tension in
front and back of the presser foot to stretch the
seam as the stitches are being placed.
CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you are stitching as
this may deflect the needle, causing it to break.

Blindstitch Hems
Blindstitching provides a durable hem finish that is
almost invisible. While it is best suited to straight or
slightly curved hems, taped, bound, or turned hem
edges can also be blindstitehed with ease.

Blindstitch Hem Guide
1. Raise presser foot, loosen screw, and slip blind
stitch hem guide between screw and shank of foot.
Make sure underside of the guide clears the slide
plate and front of foot. Tighten screw with coin.
2. Prepare hem in the usual way. It is advisable to
baste the hem. Place the basting at least 1.3 cm
(V2 inch) below the edge of hem allowance to avoid
catching the flange of guide as you stitch.
3. With the wrong side of work uppermost, turn the
hem under, creating a soft fold from the top edge
of hem.
4. Position hem under the foot with the soft fold resting
against the wall of guide. Make sure the flange of
the guide is between soft fold and top of hem, as
shown.
5. Lower presser foot. Stitch so that the straight
stitches fall on the hem allowance and zig-zag
stitches pierce the soft fold of work. Adjust stitch
width if necessary. While stitching, guidejiem edge
in a straight line and feed soft fold evenly against
wall of the guide.

Ladder Seam
The blindstitch ladder seam is particularly appropriate
for knit and stretch fabrics. It is ideal for stretchable
construction seams, and edge finishes for necklines,
pockets and collars in sportswear and swimsuits.
• Pattern: Blindstitch Disc 350
• Needle Position: 1» . JL

• General Purpose Needle Plate
General Purpose Foot
• Make a test sample to adjust stitch width and length
and needle thread tension to suit the fabric. Needle
thread tension should be lighter than normal.
• Cut and fit garment, allowing for 1.5 cm (5/8 inch)
seam allowance. Baste seam line.
• Place fabric under presser foot so that the straight
stitches fall on the seam line basting and the points
toward the centre of the garment.

Construction Stitches
Multi-Stitch Zig-Zag
The multi-stitch zig-zag is an extremely versatile stitch.
Use it to mend, join, or reinforce without bulk. With this
stitch you may attach elastic and stretch lace, con
struct lingerie and swimsuits, and finish seams. There
are many other useful applications for the multi-stitch
zig-zag.
Mending a Tear
• Stitch; Multi-Stitch Zig-Zag Disc 2
• Needle Position: SI JL
• stitch Width: i } I I [j]
• Stitch Length: .5 to 1
• General purpose needle plate.
• General purpose foot or special purpose foot.
• Trim ragged edges.
• Place underlay on the wrong side of tear for rein
forcement. Baste one side of underlay in place.
• Stitch on the right side, bringing the edges of the tear
together. Shorten stitch length at ends and corners
to give extra strength.
• Trim underlay.
Finishes for Hems and Facings
Hem and facing edges in knit and stretch fabrics will
be less apt to press through and mark when given a
flat edge finish. Edge finishing with the multi-stitch
zig-zag eliminates the bulk of turned-in edges and re
tains fabric flexibility.
• Make a test sample to check thread tension and
stitch length if you are using the multi-stitch zig-zag.
• Place stitching about 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) from hem or
facing edge. Avoid stretching edge while sewing.
• Press after stitching and trim away excess fabric
close to the stitching line.

Multi-Stitch Zig-Zag Bar Tacks
With the multi-stitch zig-zag you can make strong bar
tacks. Multi-stitch zig-zag bar tacks are effective for
tacking belt loops on heavy fabrics such as denim. Be
sure to check the Fabric, Thread and Needle Table on
page 16 for correct thread and needle selection with
your choice of fabric.

on, duplicating all thicknesses.
1. Mark position for the finished end of belt loop on
the fabric.
• Place belt loop, wrong side up, straight stitch with
cut end 3 mm (1 IS inch) from edge of garment; do
not stitch beyond edges of the belt loop. Trim the
end close to the stitching and press.
2. Fold belt loop back on the stitching line and press.
• Set your machine according to the code above.
• Stitch 3 mm (1/8 inch) from the fold using the
multi-stitch zig-zag.

• General purpose foot or special purpose foot.
Patchwork for quilts and wearing apparel formerly put
together with hand stitching, can be quickly pieced
and decorated at the same time by using the domino
stitch. Joinings are both flexible and durable when
this method is used.
Procedure
• Cut a fabric underlay to size. Baste a light layer of
padding to underlay if a quilted effect is desired.
Prepare patches, turning under 6 mm (1/4 inch)
seam allowance. On non-woven fabric this step is
not necessary.
Baste patches to underlay in arrangement desired,
butting all edges.
Stitch in lengthwise and crosswise rows, allowing
stitches to straddle patches.

Decorative Stitching
Your sewing machine has several stitches which are
purely decorative. These versatile stitches allow you
to add imagination and creativity to your sewing proj
ects. With these decorative stitches, you can apply to
clothes and household items: interesting details,
youthful and feminine accents, and personalized ef
fects. Some of the many applications of the decorative
stitches include border designs, applique, twin-needle
stitching, finished hems, smpcking, embroidering,
monograms and topstitching accent lines on clothes.
The following pages illustrate decorative stitches on
your machine and provide examples for their creative
use.
Border Designs
Border designs that add a decorative touch to wearing
apparel and household items can be created by com
bining different types of straight stitching and zig-zag
stitching. Simple or elaborate, delicate or bold, they
can be varied to suit the application. Use them as you
would a braid or to simulate horizontal, vertical or
bias stripes on plain fabric.
Procedure
Mark or crease fabric for the centre line of first row of
stitching. If spacing between rows is not greater than
1.3 cm (1 /2 inch), gauge additional rows with the pres
ser foot. If spacing is wider, mark for each line of
stitching. Use a backing of crisp lawn, organdy or a fu
sible interfacing. Be sure to make a test sample on a
swatch of your fabric to check stitch settings and
thread tension, being sure to duplicate thickness and
interfacing or backing if appropriate.

Monograms
Many decorative stitch patterns can be used tor mon
ograms and motifs—to add a personal touch to a
blouse collar, for example, or for initialing household
linens. You can buy designs or create them yourself
to suit the stitch pattern you wi^h to use.
Very simple straight-line monograms can be made
with the plain zig-zag stitch, or you can create a motif
by arranging individual pattern units to form a design.
Refer to page 38 for information on setting selectors
for zig-zag and decorative stitching.
When you use a decorative stitch pattern to form a
motif,, you will want to start at the beginning of the
arrowhead, crescent or whatever pattern you have
selected.
Finding Beginning of Pattern Unit
1. On a scrap of material, stitch until you come to the
end of a complete pattern unit, as indicated A. Now
you are ready to start stitching at the beginning of
the next unit.
2. Raise presser foot and remove scrap.
3. Position motif under needle, lower the presser foot
and stitch.

6. Buttonholes
and Buttons
Buttonholes can be made easily with the manual four-
step method. Before sewing on your garment, always
make a test buttonhole duplicating the number of
thicknesses of fabric and interfacing if appropriate.
Garment Preparation
Buttonhole Position
Accurate guidelines are essential to keep buttonholes
at a uniform distance from the edge of the garment,
evenly spaced, and on the grain of the fabric.
1. Mark the centre line on the garment. This guideline
can be made by machine or hand basting or using
tailor’s chalk.
Be sure that the space from the centre line to the
finished edge of the garment is at least equal to
three-quarters the diameter of the button. With this
spacing, the button will not extend beyond the edge
when the garment is buttoned.
Make sure that the centre line marking follows a
lengthwise fabric thread.
A. Centre line
B. Buttonhole
C. Finished Edge of Garment
D. Diameter of Button
2. Mark a position guideline for each buttonhole.
Horizontal buttonholes B are placed to extend 3mm
(1/8 inch) beyond the centre line A of the garment, as
shown, so that the buttons will be in the centre of the
figure when the garment is fastened.
Horizontal buttonhole guidelines should follow a
crosswise fabric thread.
• Mark the horizontal buttonhole guideline for each
buttonhole. If should be longer than the finished
length of the buttonhole.
• Mark the starting point for each buttonhole 3mm
(1/8 inch) beyond the centre line (see illustration).
66
Page 68
в
67
Page 69
Vertical buttonholes C are placed so that the centre
line Act the garment is in the centre of the buttonhole,
as shown.
• Mark the ends of each buttonhole horizontally
across the centre line basting and use the centre
line marking as the buttonhole guide when stitching.
Buttonhole Length
• The buttonhole length should be just long enough to
allow the button to slip through the opening without
stretching it.
• To make sure the measurement is correct, cut a slit
in a scrap of fabric equal to the diameter of the but
ton you intend to use.
• Increase length of opening until button slips through
easily.
This test is particularly advisable for buttons of un
usual shape or thickness.

Four-Step Buttonholing
The four dial settings for buttonholing are located on
the stitch length selector. As you turn the dial for each
step, your machine is automatically set for the correct
needle position, stitch width, and stitch length, as well
as for stitching direction for that step. You need not
turn the fabric during buttonholing.
• Pattern: Zig-Zag Disc 1
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• Buttonhole Foot
Preparation
• Prepare and mark your garment, as instructed on
page 66
•: Position work under needle, aligning centre marking
of buttonhole with centre line on the foot. Align end
marking of buttonhole with the horizontal lines on
the foot.
• Set the buttonhole balance knob K in neutral posi
tion, as illustrated. The buttonhole balance knob,
when turned slightly to the right or left, enables you
to balance the stitch density of both sides of the
buttonhole. Refer to the next page for information on
balancing buttonhole stitch density.
Step 1: Side Stitching
Raise needle above the fabric and turn the buttonhole
dial to step 1. Position needle in fabric at point A.
Lower the foot and stitch to end of buttonhole (point B).
The end marking should be aligned with the horizontal
lines on the foot.
Step 2: Bar Tack
Raise the needle out of the fabric. Turn buttonhole dial
to step 2 and take at least four stitches. Stop at point C.
Step 3: Side Stitching
Raise the needle out of the fabric.Turn buttonhole dial
to step 3. Complete work to point D. Raise needle.
Step 4: Bar Tack
Raise the needle out of the fabric and turn buttonhole
dial to step 4. Take at least four stitches ending at
point E. For a smooth, satin appearance and greater
durability, stitch around the buttonhole a second time
by repeating the four-step sequence.
70
Page 72
71
Page 73
Balancing the Buttonhole
Stitch density on left and right sides of the buttonhole
may be balanced by adjusting the buttonhole balance
knob K. Use the buttonhole balance knob to obtain
similar stitch appearance on left and right sides of the
buttonhole. A very slight turn will produce a noticeable
density change.
To change the density on either side of your test but
tonhole follow the procedure below. Before sewing on
your garment, be sure to make a test buttonhole on a
sample of your fabric to check that the stitch density
is similar on left and right sides of your buttonhole.
1. Make a test buttonhole with the balance knob in
neutral position (indicator line or dot directly
below ▼symbol on control panel).
2. If the stitches on the right side of the buttonhole
are too open, turn the balance knob from its neutral
position to the right to increase density of the side
stitching.
3. If the stitches on the left side of the buttonhole are
too open, turn the blance knob from its neutral
position to the left to increase density of the side
stitching.
After buttonhole stitching is completed, return bal
ance knob to its neutral position (indicator line or dot
directly below ^symbol on control panel).
