Straight Stitch; Straight Sewing With The Guiding Lines; Quilt Stitch With Needlework Look - Singer 6180 Operation And Safety Notes

Straight stitch

The straight stitch is the most frequently stitch used.
Therefore become familiar with the following steps.
Note: According to the fabric weight, a „fine ad-
justment" of the thread tension could be required.
1. SETTINGS - Presser foot - standard foot /up-
per thread tension - 5
2. Draw both threads approx. 15 cm backwards
under the presser foots.
3. Lay the fabric under the presser foot and lower
the presser foot.
4. Turn the handwheel anti-clockwise until the nee-
dle pierces the fabric.
5. Start the machine. Guide the fabric lightly with
your hand. Stop the machine when you reach
the edge of the fabric.
Note: The needle plate is fitted with a scale in
mm and inches as a fabric guiding aid.
6. First turn the handwheel anti-clockwise until the
needle is at its highest position, raise the
presser foot and pull the fabric to the rear. Cut
off excess thread with the thread cutter - lo-
cated on the head cover.
Note: We recommend starting and ending a
seam with 3 to 5 backwards stitches. In this
way you will secure the ends of the threads
and prevent the seam from loosening.

Straight sewing with the
guiding lines

ures that define the distance between the seam and
the centred needle.
