Features of SINGER Start 1304 Sewing Machine

Portability

The mobility of a small sewing machine is by far the most noticeable benefit. The SINGER Start 1304 is about the same weight as your little furry friend (cat), but it’s much better to carry everywhere.

It’s an excellent sewing class partner. It includes all of the necessary functions you’ll need for a range of projects, but none of the extras. But better if it comes with a protective case or at the very least a dust cover. However, at this price, you could purchase ones yourself and probably end up winning.

Heavy-Duty Metal Frame

Compact and reasonable price frequently equates to trivial and poorly constructed items. With the SINGER 1304, that’s never the situation. A heavy durable metal frame sits beneath the plain surface. What exactly would this imply? The plastic structure is usual in a majority of cheap sewing machines but not in SINGER Start 1304.

Although the SINGER Start 1304 is lightweight, it is capable of handling heavy tasks such as numerous layers or thicker materials. The heavier structure also offers increased lengthy robustness.

Stitch Options

Regular, buttonhole, scalloped, blind hemming, and satin stitches are the only stitching choices here on SINGER Start 1304. Every stitch’s length and width are pre-determined, so there’s no planning needed. The stitching selector dial on the machine’s side displays all of the available options so you can choose it and get started.

Free Arm

For heavier and more sophisticated sewing machines, includes a free arm. Many little sewing machines, on the other hand, lack these.

Repairing and stitching little, round stuff like necks, sleeves, drawstrings, and trousers requires a free arm. We’re happy the SINGER 1304 offers a free arm to reach out better to small fabric spaces.

4-Step Buttonholer

Every sewing machine with a buttonhole feature is an advantage. The customizable buttonhole hook allows you to produce the precise buttonhole for every button shape. The additional button sewing foot speeds up the process by automatically fastening buttons to the final outfits.

Automatic Tension Adjustment

This functionality cuts time and eliminates guessing by automatically changing the tension of the thread to the proper level for every stitch type.

Extra-High Presser Foot Lift

An extremely high presser foot elevation, in addition to the robust strength chassis, is a characteristic that you would not imagine in a smaller, less priced machine.

The presser foot on numerous sewing machines can only reach so far up. When dealing with heavier materials, such as comforters or piles of heavy materials, the typical height may not be sufficient. Featuring an extra-high presser foot pull, the SINGER Start 1304 can easily handle thick material.

Twin Needle

Have you often noticed ornamental stitching or seam reinforcing in clean, equal consecutive lines? A twin needle was used to make those. A twin needle does precisely what it says: it sews two needles simultaneously at the same time and in unison.

Another characteristic that one may expect to encounter in a more costly machine is twin needle capabilities. SINGER, on the other hand, expects you’ll want to try it, so they’ve included two spool pins.

The double spool pegs on this machine let you stitch identical lines of stitches fast and efficiently. Hems, knitted clothes, as well as some ornamental items that would normally need the use of an embroidery machine benefit from this choice. The dual needle attachment is an extra buy if you want to try dual needle stitching.

Warranties

A 25-year fixed-guarantee on the company’s faults, a 5-year warranty on electronic components, and a 1-year warranty on accessories (LED bulbs, pulleys) and machine repairs are included with the SINGER Start 1304 machine. The machine owner is responsible for all labor costs.
