STRAIGHT
STITCH
Seams
The most common use for the straight stitch is 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.

STRAIGHT
STITCH
Quilt Piecing
Quilt piecing is done using a 1/4" seam 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).

STRAIGHT
STITCH
Topstitching
Topstitching is a line of straight stitching on the 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.

STRAIGHT
STITCH
Edge Stitching
Edgestitching can be used to add stability to 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.
5
STRAIGHT
STITCH
Basting
Basting stitches are used to temporarily hold fabrics
together, for example, when you want to check the fit of
a garment before sewing the actual seam.
To set the
machine for basting, if your machine has adjustable
stitch length, select straight stitch with the longest
stitch length setting.
It is helpful to also slightly reduce
the upper thread tension as well (this makes it easier to
remove the temporary basting stitches later).
Sew the
row of basting stitches, and check the fit of the
garment.
When satisfied with fit, select the stitch length
setting as needed for the project, and be sure to put the
upper thread tension back to its original position.
Sew
the permanent seam.
Remove the temporary basting
stitches.
