Overview

This document is an instruction manual for a SINGER® household sewing machine, specifically models C7200, C7205, C7220, C7225, C7250, and C7255. It provides comprehensive guidance on the machine's operation, maintenance, and various sewing functions. The machine is designed for optimal use in a household setting and is not intended for industrial or commercial purposes.

Function Description

The SINGER® sewing machine is an electrical appliance designed for sewing various types of fabrics and creating a wide range of stitches. It features both utility and decorative stitching capabilities, as well as alphanumeric stitch patterns for lettering. The machine's core function is to feed fabric under a needle, creating stitches that join fabric pieces, finish edges, or add decorative elements. It is equipped with a foot control for regulating sewing speed and a start/stop button for operation without the foot control. The machine also includes a bobbin winding system, a needle threader, and a thread knife for convenience.

Usage Features

The manual details numerous features that enhance the user experience:

  • Machine Overview: The machine has a main spool pin for horizontal thread feeding and an auxiliary spool pin for vertical feeding, accommodating different thread spool styles and specialty threads. The thread tension dial allows for adjustment based on the stitch, thread, and fabric. Machine operation controls are conveniently located for ease of use. A display shows the current stitch and settings, while function buttons control stitch width, length, and pattern memory for alphanumeric stitches. A stitch chart provides a visual reference of all available stitches.

  • Needle Area Overview: The needle plate provides a flat sewing surface with guidelines for seam allowances. Feed teeth move the fabric, and the presser foot holds it against the feed teeth. The presser foot holder secures the presser foot, which can be released with a dedicated button. A buttonhole lever is used for buttonhole sewing, and a built-in needle threader simplifies threading. Thread guides ensure smooth thread flow. The bobbin cover protects the bobbin, and a release button allows access.

  • Presser Feet: The machine comes with several presser feet, each designed for specific tasks:

    • All Purpose Foot (T): Attached upon delivery, this foot is for general sewing on most fabric types, holding the fabric firmly and allowing the needle to move freely.
    • Blind Hem Foot (F): Used for sewing blind hems, with an adjustable guide for fabric folds.
    • Zipper Foot (I): For inserting zippers and creating piping, attachable to either side of the presser foot holder.
    • One-Step Buttonhole Foot (D): Allows for perfectly sized buttonholes by setting the button in the back space, with the machine automatically sewing to fit.
    • Satin Stitch Foot (A): Designed for satin and dense decorative stitches, with a groove underneath to allow stitching to pass freely.
  • Stitch Overview: The machine offers a variety of utility and decorative stitches.

    • Utility Stitches: These include Straight Stitch (center and left positions) for basic sewing, Straight Stretch Stitch for reinforced seams on knit fabrics, Stretch Stitch for tricot and stretch fabrics, Zigzag Stitch for decorative sewing and appliqué, Multi-Step Zigzag Stitch for seam finishing and mending, Reinforced Zig-zag Stitch for joining fabric edges, Overlock Stitch for seaming and overcasting on stretch fabrics, Blind Hem Stitch (regular and stretch) for invisible hems, Slant Overedge Stitch for seaming and overcasting on medium/heavy stretch fabrics, Closed Overlock Stitch for decorative hems and overlapped seams, Honeycomb Stitch for elastic insertion and smocking, Buttonhole stitches (regular, rounded bartack, keyhole, stretch, reinforced) for various fabric types, Darning Stitch for mending, Eyelet for belts and laces, and Button Sewing Stitch.

    • Packing after Sewing: Steps for safely turning off, unplugging, storing the cord, placing accessories in the tray, and covering the machine.
  • Free Arm/Removable Accessory Tray: The accessory tray provides a flat work surface and storage for tools. It can be removed to access the free arm, which is useful for sewing trouser legs and sleeve hems.

  • Presser Foot Lifter: Located on the right side of the machine head, this lever raises and lowers the presser foot. It has an extra lift height for placing thick fabric layers under the foot.
