The selection of decorative stitches is outstanding for this price range. There are satin stitches like Crescent, Bead, Sphere, Steps, and Diamond and some of the most intricate hem stitches like Greek Key, Kite Tail, Criss-Cross and Vine.
Singer calls their floral, tulip and puppy stitch “novelty” patterns. They can be sewn continuously or just once to decorate a corner, the top of a pocket, or the edge of a project.
A pattern reference guide pulls out from the base of the machine for quick reference. Stitch selection is accomplished by using two sets of arrow keys to submit a pattern’s two digit identification code into the sewing machine except for 12 of the most used stitches which have their own selection button under the LCD screen. The LCD screen displays the selected pattern number.
Stitch width and length are both adjustable up to 7mm for certain stitch patterns. A slider for each is located at the bottom of the control panel.
