Pattern Stitching - Singer 5040 Instruction Manual

Pattern stitching

In addition to straight stitch and zig-zag stitch,
your machine can produce a variety of stitch
patterns. There are two types of stitch pat-
terns built into your machine:
• Decorative stitch patterns are produced by
side-to-side movement of the needle.
• Stretch stitch patterns are produced by both
the side-to-side movement of the needle,
and the back-and-forth movement of the
feed.
Two pattern modules come with your
machine. One is already in the machine and
is interchangeable with the other in the
accessory storage. Each produces an individ-
ual design that will add a personal touch to all
your sewing. Some patterns are purely deco-
rative while others are used for practical pur-
poses as well.
