Semi-automatic sewing machine SINGER M1005 — 11 stitches, 4 mm stitch width, top drop-in bobbin, free arm, 2.5 kg

This compact sewing machine offers 4 core stitch types with 11 stitch options, including six straight stitches, three zigzag variations, one blind hem and one multi-stitch zigzag. The maximum stitch width is 4 mm. It features a top drop-in Class 15 transparent bobbin and clear bobbin cover for easy thread monitoring, a free arm for sleeves and hems, and a lightweight 2.5 kg body for easy transport and storage.

Advantages

Stitch selection is simple and fast via the clearly marked Stitch Selector Dial with preset length and width settings for each stitch. The transparent top bobbin simplifies winding and insertion. An extra-high presser foot lifter accommodates thicker fabric layers, and an adjustable needle thread tension allows work with different thread weights. A front-mounted reverse lever secures seam starts and ends, and a removable finger guard improves safety. Quick visible threading guides and an online instructional video help beginners get started.

How to use

Wind the Class 15 bobbin using the clearly marked winding path, insert it into the transparent top bobbin case and follow the visible threading guides to thread the top. Turn the Stitch Selector Dial to choose the desired stitch; the machine presets the length and width for that stitch so you can begin sewing. Adjust needle thread tension as needed for fabric and thread thickness. Use the reverse lever at the front to secure seam ends, raise the presser foot to the extra-high position for thick layers, and use the free arm for cuffs and hems.

Recommendations

Use the online instructional video to review bobbin winding, top threading and stitch selection before starting projects. Remove the finger guard only if you are confident in safe needle handling. For best results, test stitch settings on a scrap of the same fabric and thread before sewing the final seam.
