Change Sewing Direction; Finish Sewing; Straight Stretch Stitch - Singer C5600 Instruction Manual

Change Sewing Direction

To change sewing direction, stop the machine with the needle
down. Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing direction
as desired. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing in the
new direction.

Finish Sewing

Press and hold the Reverse button and sew a few stitches in
reverse when you reach the end of the seam. Release the button
and sew forward again to the end of the seam. This will secure
the seam so the stitches don't unravel.
Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the needle to its
highest position. Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric,
pulling the threads to the back.
Pull the threads up and into the thread knife so that the threads
are cut the proper length and your needle won't come unthread-
ed when you start the next seam.

Straight Stretch Stitch

This stitch is stronger than regular straight stitch, due to the
fact that it is a triple and elastic stitch. The Straight Stretch
Stitch can be used for heavy stretch fabrics, for crotch seams
which are subject to considerable strain and for topstitching
heavy fabrics.
Carefully guide the fabric while sewing as the fabric moves
back and forth.
