1 STRAIGHT Seams The most common use for the straight stitch is
STITCH for joining fabrics together with a seam. The
machine needle plate has a series of etched
markings to the right of the presser foot which
serve as guidelines for various widths of seam
allowances when sewing with the needle in center
position. Line up the raw edges of the fabric with
the desired seam allowance guideline to sew a
seam.
2 STRAIGHT Quilt Piecing Quilt piecing is done using a 1/4" seam
STITCH allowance. After sewing, press seams toward the
darker of the two fabrics, to help prevent the
seam allowance from being visible on the top side
of the quilt. It may be helpful to use a Quarter
Inch Foot (additional accessory for some
machine models).
3 STRAIGHT Topstitching Topstitching is a line of straight stitching on the
STITCH outside of a garment or project, usually as a
decorative embellishment. Set the machine for
straight stitch, with a stitch length of 3 to 3.5mm.
Sew 1/4" - 3/8" from the edge of the fabric. If
sewing with topstitching thread, use a SINGER
Topstitching Needle, size 90/14 for medium
weight fabrics, or a SINGER Topstitching needle,
size 100/16 for heavier fabrics. A Topstitching
Needle (additional accessory) has a longer eye to
accommodate thicker threads, such as
topstitching thread which gives the stitches a
bolder look.
4 STRAIGHT Edge Stitching Edgestitching can be used to add stability to
STITCH projects like tote bags, or it can be used simply as
a decorative embellishment. Set the machine for
straight stitch. Sew approximately 1/8" from the
edge of the fabric.

58 DECORATIVE Decorative Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects
STITCH Stitching with a single row, multiple rows, or even in
combination with other decorative stitches. For
machine models with adjustable stitch length
and/or stitch width, try various stitch length and/
or width adjustments to change the look of the
stitch as desired. It may be helpful to use a Satin
Stitch Foot (additional accessory for some
machine models)for denser stitch settings, as
this foot has a groove on the underside to allow
stitches to pass freely underneath. Experiment
with various types of thread such as rayon thread,
all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching
thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Be sure to
use a needle that is appropriate for the type of
thread you are using, and stabilizer to help
support the fabric and stitches. Learn more
about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER
website.
59 DECORATIVE Couching Sew over ribbons, ligthweight yarns or cords to
STITCH embellish fabrics. It is helpful to use an Open Toe
Foot (additional accessory for some machine
models), which provides a clear view of the
sewing area. Use a tear-away stabilizer
underneath as you sew to help prevent fabric
puckering.

1 POINT DROIT Coutures Le point droit est le plus souvent utilisé pour
assembler des tissus par une couture. La
plaque à aiguille de la machine est dotée d’une
série de marquages gravés à droite du pied-de-
biche, qui servent de guide pour les différentes
largeurs des marges de couture lorsque l’aiguille
est en position centrale pour coudre. Alignez les
bords bruts du tissu avec le repère de la marge
de couture souhaité pour coudre une couture.
2 POINT DROIT Matelassage Le matelassage se réalise à l’aide d’une marge
de couture de 6 mm environ (1/4 de pouce).
Après avoir cousu, repassez les coutures en
direction du tissu le plus sombre des deux, afin
d’éviter que la marge de couture ne soit visible
sur la partie supérieure du patchwork. Il peut
être utile d’utiliser un pied de 6,4 mm
(accessoire supplémentaire pour certains
modèles de machines).
3 POINT DROIT Surpiqûre La surpiqûre est une ligne de points droits sur
l’extérieur d’un vêtement ou d’une création,
généralement à titre d’ornement décoratif.
Réglez la machine sur point droit, avec une
longueur de point de 3 à 3,5 mm. Cousez à 6–
9,5 mm du bord du tissu. Si vous cousez avec
du fil de surpiqûre, utilisez une aiguille à
surpiquer SINGER taille 90/14 pour les tissus
moyens, ou une aiguille à surpiquer SINGER
taille 100/16 pour les tissus plus lourds. Une
aiguille à surpiquer (accessoire supplémentaire)
a un chas d’aiguille plus long permettant de faire
passer des fils plus épais, comme le fil de
surpiqûre qui rend les points plus visibles.
4 POINT DROIT Surfilage Le surfilage peut être utilisé pour ajouter de la
stabilité à des créations comme des sacs
fourre-tout ou peut être utilisé simplement
comme ornement décoratif. Réglez la machine
sur point droit. Cousez à environ 3 mm du bord
du tissu.
5 POINT DROIT Point de bâti Les points de bâti sont utilisés pour maintenir
provisoirement les tissus ensemble, par
exemple lorsque vous voulez vérifier
l’ajustement d’un vêtement avant de coudre la
couture proprement dite. Pour régler la machine
sur le point de bâti si votre machine a une
longueur de point réglable, sélectionnez le point
droit avec le réglage de longueur de point le plus
long. Il est utile de réduire également
légèrement la tension du fil supérieur (ce qui
facilite le retrait des points de bâti temporaires
