Operating Your Sewing Machine

Infilare la macchina

Proper threading is crucial for correct stitch formation. Follow these steps carefully for both upper and lower threading.

Infilatura del filo superiore

• Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and continue turning the handwheel counter-clockwise until the needle just begins to descend. Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
• Nota: Per motivi di sicurezza, si consiglia vivamente di spegnere l'alimentazione prima di infilare.
• Posizionare il rocchetto di filo sul perno portarocchetto.
• Draw thread from the spool through the upper thread guide (3) and proceed through pre-tension spring as illustrated (4).
• Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel and up left channel (5). During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread guide.
• At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left, through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again.
• Ora passa il filo dietro l'ago a filo sottile clamp guide (7) and then down to the needle which should be threaded from the front to back.
• Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye. Trim thread to length with built-in thread cutter (8).

Regolazione della tensione del filo

Correct thread tension is essential for balanced stitches. Adjust the tension dial as needed.

• Tensione del filo superiore: To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number down. Try to achieve balanced tension for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to "4".
• Lower Thread Tension: To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and bobbin. Hold the thread coming from the bobbin. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind slowly. If it unwinds too fast, it will drop too much. If it unwinds too slowly, it will not drop.

Notare che:

• Proper setting of tension is important for good sewing.
• The correct tension for example, top, bottom, and all stitch functions, thread or fabric.
• The tension is correct when both upper and bottom is usually only desirable for straight stitch construction.
• 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5".
• For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread tension will be less than for straight stitch sewing.
• For decorative sewing you will always obtain a nice stitch and foot fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

Selezione e regolazione del punto

The Singer 2282 offers various stitch patterns and adjustments for different sewing needs.

Come scegliere il tuo modello

To select a stitch pattern, simply turn the Pattern Selector Dial. The Pattern Selector Dial may be turned in either direction.

• For straight stitch: select pattern "1" with the pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length with the stitch length dial.
• For zigzag stitch: select pattern "2" with the pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length and stitch width according to the fabric being used.
• To obtain the other patterns: turn the stitch length dial to "0" or "Sz", select the pattern desired with pattern selector dial, and adjust the stitch width with the stitch width dial.

Stitch Width & Stitch Length Dial

• Function of stitch width dial: The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 5mm. However, the width can be reduced by turning the dial. The width increases as the dial is turned from "0" - "5" (1). The Stitch Width Dial is also the control for the straight stitch while needle position. "0" position is for left, "5" for full right and between "2" and "3" is for center needle position.
• Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching (2/A): Set the Pattern Selector Dial to zig-zag. The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches "0". Next zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below. Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches.
• Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching (2/B): For straight stitch sewing, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to the straight stitch setting. Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and the length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial is approached "0". The length of the individual stitches will increase as the dial approaches "4". Generally speaking, use a longer stitch when sewing heavy-weight fabrics or when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a finer needle or thread.

Operazioni speciali

Making a Buttonhole (1-Step Buttonhole)

The 1-step buttonhole feature provides reliable and consistent buttonholes. It is strongly suggested to practice on a scrap piece of fabric before sewing buttonholes on your garment.

• Mark the position of the buttonhole on the fabric.
• Attach the buttonhole foot and set the Pattern Selector Dial to the buttonhole symbol.
• Set stitch length dial to "0" and the stitch width at "7". The stitch length may need to be adjusted according to the fabric being used.
• Lower the presser foot aligning the marks on foot with the marks on the fabric.
• Align the mark on the fabric (A) with the mark on the foot (B).
• Lower the buttonhole lever (C) completely.
• Abbassare la leva dell'asola e spingerla delicatamente indietro (C).
• Start sewing. The machine will automatically sew the buttonhole.
• Buttonhole stitching is done in the order (D). The machine will stop automatically when the buttonhole has completed.

Making Buttonholes on Stretch Fabric:

When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy thread or cord onto the buttonhole foot. This will prevent the buttonhole edges and overcoat the cord.

• Place the heavy thread or cord on the fabric with the tailor's chalk, adjust the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern selector dial to the buttonhole symbol.
• Hook the heavy thread onto the back end of the buttonhole foot.
• Pull the heavy thread to the front of the buttonhole foot, insert them into the grooves and temporarily tie them down.
• Abbassa il piedino e inizia a cucire.
• When the buttonhole is completed, cut the heavy thread.
• When sewing is completed, gently pull the heavy thread to the front and back, then trim off the excess.

Cucire su bottoni

To sew a two-securing stitches, set the machine for straight stitch, with a stitch width set "0".

• Mark the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for zig zag stitch, then set the stitch number "3" - "5". Turn the handwheel so that the needle goes cleanly into the left and right holes of the button. Adjust the stitch width for needed, and the proper distance between the holes of the button. Slowly sew on the button with about 10 stitches.
• Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for straight stitch again with the width set "0". Sew a few securing stitches to finish.
• If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the fabric and sew. For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front two holes first, push the work forward and then sew through the back two holes.
