START SEWING
Sewing a Decorative Stitch
Use a stabilizer (see Appendix) on the underside of the fabric if there is gathering or puckering as
you sew. Decorative stitching can be used almost anywhere on your project!
It may be helpful to decrease the upper tension by 1 or 2 numbers when sewing decorative
stitches. This will help prevent the bobbin thread from possibly showing on the top when sewing
denser stitches.

SEW ALONG: Scallop Stitch
1. Set the Stitch Selector Dial, so that the Scallop Stitch
setting is directly below the dot.
2. Set the Needle Position Dial so that the center position is
located directly in front of the dot on the top cover of the
machine. (See Page 26)
3. Set the Stitch Width Dial so that 6 sits directly in front of the
dot on the top cover of the machine. (See Page 19)
4. Set the Stitch Length Dial control so that number 1 is
directly below the dot on the machine.
5. Place the fabric under the All Purpose Foot with the right-
hand edge of the fabric lined up with the desired seam
guide line on the right side of the needle plate. Lower the
presser foot, then step on the foot control to begin sewing.
Sew 2 to 3 stitches and then backstitch (see page 20) to
reinforce the seam.
Decorative stitches can be used for embellishing and personalizing your sewing projects.
(Go to www.singerco.com to view other decorative stitches that can be used).
HOW TO:
1. Set the machine to the desired stitch by setting the Stitch Selector Dial to one of the decorative
stitches. (See Page 19)
2. Set the Needle Position Dial to the center marking. (See Page 26)
3. Set the Stitch Width Dial to between 2 and 6, depending on how wide you want your stitch to be.
(See Page 19)
4. Set the Stitch Length Dial between 0.5 and 3. (See Page 19)
