Product Information

Provides a wonderful professional seam finish, helps prevent loosely woven fabrics from unravelling and offers unlimited decorative capabilities. If your funds are limited then you can easily make your own cover by following this tutorial. It is a nice starter project that will keep your sewing mind occupied for a few days. Is This The Right Machine For Me? There are colour-coded threading diagrams and stitch illustrations printed on the machine. This saves you from looking through your manual constantly.

They’re designed to sew 3 or 4 layers of fabric, and no more than that. Multiple industry specialists told me this. If you just line up the edge of your fabric against the blade, then you will get a narrow seam allowance of between 4-7mm. But, if you line up the stitching line with your left needle, then it’ll stitch exactly along the 1.5mm line and the excess will be trimmed off. Most machines have markings on the looper cover to show you where to place the fabric edge. If there are no seam guide lines, then pop on some masking tape.It has a free arm, waste bin, and 2 features I don’t see often at this price: tiltable needles, and a built-in “2 thread converter”. These are small conveniences that make replacing the needles and switching to 2 thread stitches easier. Fortunately, Singer have made this whole setup process incredibly easy. They, like other companies, have taken the colour coding approach. Each threading path for the different threads is highlighted from the top through the machine’s inner parts with its own colour. Budget machines involve lots of manufacturing and design compromises, which I discuss more in a separate post. Clean and oil your machine often It can do 2, 3 and 4 thread stitches, and the threading system is good. It includes a waste bin and separate needle threading device (it’s not built-in).

Husqvarna. ‘Machines’.

(The videos are by Ken’s Sewing Center and Syakademiet). Perfect for sewing with knit fabrics, because the stitch stretches as the fabric stretches providing a strong and professional finish.

You’ll obtain a smoother point if you stitch darts conventionally. Then they can be moved if necessary, and are less bulky.You need not search far for all the necessary accessories you will need when sewing as Singer provide you with everything you may need to get get started. This includes: He thought their machines are horrible quality and not worth repairing. This came as a big surprise to me. The most important feature you need for sewing stretchy fabrics, like lycra and swimwear, is “differential feed”. Be aware that this is a budget machine. It will be made with weaker metals, weaker motors, and more “relaxed” quality control during manufacturing.

Singer's high quality build paired with well designed differential feeds and customisable cutter means that even if the initial design does not suit you, you can adjust it to your needs. What Other Models Are Available If The Singer s14-78 Doesn't Suit My Needs? Singer has thought of everthing, even the SE017 lint brush has been designed with precision, it has a needle location hole to help when insert new needles, its is built in to the lint brush handle, clever! Includes All Purpose Foot Needles, Screwdriver, Tweezers, Spreader, Four Thread Spools, Spare Lower Knife, Scrap Bag, and Lint Brush. So going over 4 layers of denim at the seams ocassionally is fine. But you wouldn’t want to do it often. With the Singer S14-78, you get a total of 12 different stitches to work with, ranging from those utilising 2-threads, 3-threads and the full 4-threads at one time. 12 may not sound like a lot compared to other models, but given it’s reasonable price tag, we think it’s more than enough.

Learn & master threading & adjustments. Use the multicoloured thread provided to learn how to thread the machine and to understand the feeding system. The differential feed with two lines of feed teeth means it can be fully adjusted to match the weights of different fabrics. different stitch types come already built in with this machine that works with the option 4, 3 or 2 thread stitching capacity. Included in these stitches are built in rolled hem stitches which offers you more variety when planning your sewing project. Threading path for each thread is indicated with a specific colour which makes threading easy! Reference diagrams are also included right under the front cover of the machine. The machine feeds smoothly at all speeds. The high performance motor allows high torque and excellent penetration force even at low speeds, providing a steady and stable force that cna sew through heavyweight fabrics.
