ENTREDEUX STITCH

Useful for decorative stitching on borders and for use in

heirloom sewing. The Entredeux stitch is most often sewn

with a Wing Needle (SINGER Style 2040) to create holes in

the stitch pattern.

Helpful hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension

will increase the size of the hole when using a wing

needle.

DECORATIVE PATTERNS

* Always practice on a scrap of the actual fabric from your

project.

* Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread

wound onto the bobbin to make sure that the thread will not

run out during sewing.

* Slightly loosen top thread tension.

IDEAS ON DESIGN STITCHING

Crescent pattern on collar
This is an ideal decorative stitch for the sleeves and collars of

ladies’ and children’s clothes, and also for table linen edges.

When using this stitch pattern for table linen edges, first sew

the stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along the edge

of the stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch at this time.

Helpful hint: For a more pleasing appearance

experiment with a slightly lower (-) tension setting.

CONTINUOUS PATTERNS

These are the optimum patterns for sewing continuous

patterns often seen on borders or hems of garments and

home decorating projects. Use whichever patterns suit your

preference.

SEWING ON A BUTTON

Lower the feed dogs by removing the extension table and then

pushing the Feed Dog Lever toward the machine.
Select the Button Sewing stitch. Position your fabric and

button under the presser foot. Lower the press foot. Turn the

handwheel toward you slowly to make sure the needle clears

both the left and right openings of the button. Adjust the stitch

width if necessary. Step on the foot controller to sew the

button.
If a shank is required, place a needle or pin on top of the

button and sew over the top of it, as illustrated.

SETTINGS :Presser foot - All-purpose foot

:Feed dog control -

Helpful hint: To secure thread, pull both threads to

the backside of the fabric and tie together.
