Understanding Your Sewing Machine: Principal Parts

Familiarize yourself with the main components of your Singer Model 1116 sewing machine. Refer to the diagrams below for identification.

Setup: Threading and Tension

ການຂຽນຂໍ້ຄວາມເທິງ

This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly to avoid needle problems. If you have difficulty, start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and also the take-up lever (2) to release the tension discs. To hold the safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the main project to confirm machine setting.

1. Lift up spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder and push the spool pin off the spool as shown. (3)
2. Lead thread spool, place the thread under the thread guide to the left of the upper spool holder.
3. Guide thread through the upper thread guide. (4)
4. Guide thread around thread guide (5) pulling thread through pre-tension spring (6) as shown.
5. Guide thread through the thread guide down, right, thread and up left channel (8). Bring the thread into the hook of the thread take-up lever (9) down and thread through (10) and gently pull up on the thread.
6. At the top of the needle, guide the thread from right to left into the eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again. (7)
7. Guide thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (11) and then down to the needle which should be threaded from front to back. Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the back of the needle eye. Trim thread to length with built-in thread cutter.

ຄວາມເຄັ່ງຕຶງຂອງກະທູ້

Proper thread tension is crucial for balanced stitches.

ຄວາມເຄັ່ງຕຶງກະທູ້ເທິງ

Basic thread tension setting: 4.

• ເພື່ອເພີ່ມຄວາມເຄັ່ງຕຶງ, ຫັນໜ້າປັດໄປຫາຕົວເລກຖັດໄປຂຶ້ນ.
• ເພື່ອຫຼຸດຜ່ອນຄວາມເຄັ່ງຕຶງ, ກະລຸນາຫັນໜ້າປັດໄປຫາຕົວເລກຖັດໄປລົງ.
• Correct thread tension for straight stitching (A): Thread tension too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to a higher number (B).
• Correct thread tension for straight stitch sewing: Turn dial to lower number (C).
• Correct thread tension for zig zag and decorative sewing (D): Correct thread tension is where a small amount of the upper thread appears in the bottom side of fabric.

Lower Thread Tension

To test bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and hold it by suspending it by the thread. Jerk it once or twice. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two. If the tension is too tight, it will not unwind at all. If the tension is too loose, it will drop too much. To adjust, gently turn the small screw on the side of the bobbin case. This should only be needed for specialty threads.

Function of Stitch Length Dial: Straight, Fine, Triple Straight Stitch

The stitch length dial selects the length of your stitches. For most stitches, this dial will be set between 1 and 4. The settings in this manual are suggestions. It is best for you to practice on a scrap piece of fabric and thread you intend to use for your project to confirm machine settings.

• ຕີນຈຸດປະສົງທັງຫມົດ
• ເສັ້ນກົງ: General construction, topstitching
  • Stitch length: 2 - 4, dependent on thickness of fabric and thread
  • Select stitch: A

Note: Only change the stitch selection or needle position when the needle is in the highest position.

Zig Zag and the Function of the Stitch Length Dial

The density of zig zag stitches increases as the setting of the stitch length dial approaches "0". Next zig zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below. Different widths can be set up in the stitch window. Each dial is a different width of zig zag within the C stitch.

• ຕີນຈຸດປະສົງທັງຫມົດ

ຫຍິບໃສ່ປຸ່ມຕ່າງ

To sew on buttons, follow these steps:

1. Install the darning plate (1). Place the button on the fabric under the presser foot. Turn the handwheel to check that the needle goes cleanly into the left and right holes of the button (adjust the needle position according to the button by turning the stitch selector dial to the appropriate stitch width), and slowly sew on the button with about 6-8 stitches (2).
2. It is recommended to take a few locking stitches at the beginning and end of sewing. To do this – set the select needle position to a few stationary stitches on one side of the button. Sew on the button as described and repeat the locking stitch on the other side of the button.
3. If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the button and sew. For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front two holes first (2), push work forward and then sew through the back two holes as described (3).
