3. Impostazione

3.1 Power Connection and Basic Controls

Before starting, ensure the machine is placed on a stable surface. Connect the power cord and foot pedal to the designated ports on the machine. Use the power switch to turn the machine on/off. The handwheel, located on the right side, manually moves the needle up and down; always turn it towards you.

Note: While this video features the M1500, many basic components and their functions are similar to the MX60.

3.2 Infilatura della macchina

Follow the numbered threading guides printed on the machine for correct upper thread path. Ensure the thread is properly seated in the tension discs and take-up lever for optimal stitch quality.

3.3 Avvolgimento della bobina

Place the empty bobbin onto the bobbin winding spindle. Follow the bobbin winding path indicated on the machine. Engage the bobbin winder and press the foot pedal to wind thread onto the bobbin. Disengage once full.

4. Funzionamento della macchina

4.1 Selezione e regolazione del punto

Use the stitch selector dial to choose your desired stitch pattern. The stitch length can be adjusted using the stitch length lever, and the reverse lever allows for backstitching to secure seams.

4.2 Using the Rolled Hem Foot

The Rolled Hem Foot (also known as a Narrow Hem Foot) is designed for creating very narrow, professional-looking hems on light to medium-weight fabrics, such as those used for scarves and blouses. It features a small scroll at the front that guides the fabric edge, rolling it over and enclosing the raw edge as you sew a straight stitch.

To use: Trim the fabric edge to a 1/2 inch hem allowance. Fold and press the fabric over 1/8 inch, then again another 1/8 inch. Position the folded fabric under the foot, lower the needle, and feed the fabric edge into the scroll. Sew slowly, guiding the fabric into the scroll as you go. For starting at a corner, use a small piece of tear-away stabilizer under the hem.

4.3 Using the Gathering Foot

The Gathering Foot is used to create gathers in fabric. It works best with softer, lightweight fabrics. The foot has a slot in the front, open on the left and closed on the right, and the bottom of the foot locks in fullness as you stitch.

To attach: Remove the machine's presser foot holder and attach the gathering foot using a screwdriver, ensuring the shank is properly seated. To gather a single fabric: Set the machine for a straight stitch, move the needle to the left position for the widest seam allowance. Place the fabric under the foot and sew at a moderate speed. Longer stitches and increased thread tension will provide fuller gathers. To gather and attach to a second flat fabric: Place the fabric to be gathered under the foot, lower the presser foot. Then insert the second (flat) fabric into the slot at the left side of the foot. Lower the needle and start sewing.

5. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali della tua macchina da cucire.

  • Pulizia: Pulire regolarmente lanugine e polvere dall'area della bobina e dalle griffe di trasporto utilizzando la spazzola fornita nel kit di accessori.
  • Sostituzione dell'ago: Replace needles frequently, especially when working with new projects or if the needle becomes dull or bent.
  • Lubrificazione: Refer to the full product manual for specific lubrication instructions, if applicable.
  • Magazzinaggio: Store the machine in a dry, dust-free environment. Use the included accessory case to keep presser feet and other small items organized.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your SINGER MX60, consider the following common solutions:

  • Punti saltati: Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent. Check that the machine is properly threaded.
  • Rottura del filo: Verify correct threading, proper tension settings, and that the needle is suitable for your fabric and thread type.
  • Inceppamento del tessuto: Ensure the presser foot is lowered before sewing. Check for tangled threads in the bobbin area.
  • Punti irregolari: Adjust thread tension. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly.
