Singer 7468 Sewing Features Include:
- Push-button stitch selection - With just a simple push of a button you have selected the stitch and the optimum settings for length, width, balance, pressure and tension.
- Built-in stitches - 93 built in stitches, 140 stitch functions for construction, fashion sewing, quilting, heirloom, crafts, home decorating and decorative sewing - the perfect stitch for every project.
- Built-in stretch stitches - Specially designed stitches that add strength and flexibility to seams, especially useful when sewing on knitwear and super-stretch fabrics.
- Adjustable stitch length and width - Optimal settings for length and width are automatically adjusted when choosing a stitch. They can be overridden to personalize length choice.
- Center zigzag taper - When tapering with the zigzag stitch, the stitch tapers to the center, not the left or right. This provides a more attractive look when tapering into or out of a point.
- Stitch locking function - Tie-off decorative stitches with just a push of a button. Reinforcing the end of the stitch ensures quality stitching and avoids raveling.
- Automatic back-tack function - Tie-off straight stitching with just a push of a button. Reinforcing the start and end of seams for stronger stitching.
- Automatic reverse - Push the conveniently located Automatic Reverse Button to sew in reverse and reinforce the stitch.
- 7mm stitch width - Most stitches can be set for a maximum width of 7mm. When sewing decorative stitches or satin stitches, the wide stitches are bolder and more pronounced.
- One-step automatic precisely balanced built-in buttonholes - Choose from 7 different one-step buttonhole styles. Buttonhole sewing is a one-step simple process, providing reliable results. Each side of the buttonhole is sewing in the same direction, creating beautifully balanced buttonholes.
- Exclusive 3-step infinite length bar-tack buttonholes - Create buttonholes with endlessly long sides. This is ideal when sewing non-traditional sized buttonholes. There are no size limitations with this buttonhole.
- Electronic twin needle control - Stitches are automatically adjusted for twin needle sewing with just the touch of a button. Twin needle sewing creates two parallel rows, adding a decorative touch.
- 13 needle positions - Needle position can be changed for individual projects, such as inserting zippers or cording and topstitching.
- Programmable needle up and down - Select whether the needle is up or down when the machine stops. It is beneficial to have the needle stop in the down position when appliqueing, quilting or pivoting fabric. When removing fabric from the machine, it is easier if the needle is raised to the highest position.
- Sewing speed - With a maximum sewing speed of 750 stitches per minute, projects can be sewn quickly.
- 6-second threading - Thread a machine in 6 seconds! No tediously following the manual's instructions to thread the machine, just follow the arrows on the machine and you are threaded in a snap.
- Automatic needle threader - After effortlessly threading the machine this feature automatically threads the eye of the needle!
- Audible tone - An audible tone confirms pattern and function selection.
- Automatic tension - This system ensures stable stitch quality, whatever type of fabric is being used.
- Automatic presser foot pressure control - The amount of pressure exerted on the fabric by the presser foot against the feed dogs is automatic. Sew from the lightest weight tricots to the heaviest denim, without making presser foot adjustments.
- Top-loading jam-proof bobbin system with clear cover - This mechanism incorporates a magnet-type vertical axis rotating hook that ensures smooth, quiet, thread jam-resistant sewing. The bobbin case floats above the hook, precluding thread jams. The bobbin loads from the top, so it's easy to insert the bobbin. The clear cover makes it easy to monitor the
bobbin thread supply.
- Automatic bobbin winding clutch - Needle bar automatically disengages when winding the bobbin, making bobbin winding safer.
- Extra-high presser foot lifter - There are 2 heights to the presser foot lifter. The second height offers more clearance, which is needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric under the presser foot.
- LED lifetime white lamp - The lamp illuminates the sewing surface for optimal viewing. The long-lasting bulb (100,000 hours) stays cool, regardless how long the machine is operated.
- 6-segment feeding system - This is a specially designed feed dog that ensures that the fabric is picked up and supported from the front of the presser foot to the rear. This makes for much more accurate feeding.
- Box feed - This is a feed dog motion that moves the feed dogs in a box motion, rather than the historic arc motion. Box motion assures perfect feeding throughout the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in perfect and equal contact with the fabric and presser foot.
- Drop feed dogs - A conveniently located lever, easily and effortlessly moved, will lower the feed dogs for free-motion embroidery, monograms, and for attaching buttons.
- Aluminum frame - The internal skeleton of the sewing machine. This rigid support holds all the mechanisms in perfect alignment for perfect, skip-free sewing.
- Direct drive - The needle bar is geared straight from the motor, rather than from a drive bar across the machine. This makes the machine more powerful and durable.
- Electronic stitch formation - All stepper motors are electronically controlled. Digital electronic control of the stepper motors that control the patter formation allows for perfectly formed patterns every time.
- Optimum power control - This is a SINGER name for a control system that senses when additional power is required to maintain speed through thick or changing fabric conditions. This feature is most useful when sewing through multiple (6-8) layers of fabric.
- DC motor - Provides instant start up and stop with no casting, for accurate and precise stitch placement.
- Electronic foot controller - guarantees consistent sewing speed with no jump starts.
- Snap-on presser feet - Change from one to another effortlessly with Snap-On feet. No need for screwdrivers to change presser feet.
- On-board storage - Storage of accessories in the closed lid Conversion Table Accessory Storage area means accessories are always easily accessible.
- Self-lubricating - Because the machine is permanently lubricated, there is no need to oil the machine, and no oil gets on fabric.
