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.
2
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).
3
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.
