Beginning to Stitch
Follow these steps to prepare your Pixie-Plus for stitching and begin your project:
- Turn on Light (Optional): If additional illumination is desired for your work area, press the light switch located on the side of the machine.
- Raise Presser Foot: Lift the presser foot lifter to raise the presser foot.
- Raise Needle: Turn the handwheel towards you to raise the needle to its highest possible position.
- Odaberite vrstu šava: Your Pixie-Plus offers eight different stitch types. Rotate the Stitch Selector dial until the number corresponding to your desired stitch aligns precisely with the arrow marking on the machine's body.
- Pozicija Tkanina: Carefully place your fabric underneath the raised presser foot, aligning it as needed for your seam.
- Donja pritisna stopica: Lower the presser foot onto the fabric. This step is critical for ensuring proper stitch formation and smooth, consistent fabric feeding during sewing.
- Lower Needle: Turn the handwheel towards you to lower the needle into the fabric at your starting point.
- Begin Stitching: Once the needle is securely in the fabric and the presser foot is lowered, you can begin stitching. The machine is designed to feed the fabric automatically; therefore, do not push or pull the fabric as you sew.
Video: This video demonstrates the process of preparing the SINGER Pixie-Plus Craft Machine for stitching. It covers turning on the light, raising the presser foot, selecting a stitch type, positioning the fabric, and initiating the sewing process. The video emphasizes the importance of lowering the presser foot before beginning to stitch to ensure proper stitch formation and smooth fabric feeding.
Ending a Stitching Line
To conclude a stitching line and remove your fabric:
- Raise Needle: Turn the handwheel towards you to raise the needle to its highest position. Continue turning until the needle just begins its descent, then stop.
- Raise Presser Foot: Lift the presser foot lifter to raise the presser foot.
- Remove Fabric: Gently draw your fabric towards the left to remove it from underneath the presser foot.
- Trim Threads: Utilize the built-in thread trimmer, conveniently located on the side of the machine, to cleanly cut the thread tails.
Održavanje
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SINGER Pixie-Plus Craft Machine. Keep the machine clean and free of lint and dust, particularly around the bobbin area and feed dogs, as accumulated debris can affect stitching quality.

Rješavanje problema
Thread Accumulation on Fabric Bottom
If you observe a significant amount of thread accumulating or tangling on the bottom side of your fabric during stitching, this is a common indication that the machine has not been correctly threaded.
Rješenje: Carefully re-thread the machine from the beginning, ensuring that all thread guides are followed precisely and that the thread is seated correctly in the tension discs. Always double-check that the presser foot is lowered before you begin stitching, as this is a frequent cause of bottom thread issues.
