3.1 Choosing Your Pattern

The Singer 2250 features a Pattern Selector Dial to choose various stitch patterns.

• Stitches indicated in black on the diagram correspond to the Pattern Selector Dial.
• For patterns indicated with the "S" color, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to "S", then use the Stitch Length Dial to adjust the desired stitch length.
• The Pattern Selector Dial can be turned in either direction.

3.2 Stitch Length Dial

The Stitch Length Dial controls the length of straight stitches and the density of zig-zag stitches.

• For Straight Stitching: Turn the Pattern Selector Dial to the straight stitch symbol. The stitch length increases as the dial approaches "4". Use longer stitches for heavier fabrics and thicker needles, shorter stitches for lighter fabrics and finer needles.
• For Zig-Zag Stitching: Turn the Pattern Selector Dial to "~~~ ". The density of zig-zag stitches increases as the setting of the stitch length dial approaches "0". Dense zig-zag stitches are known as satin stitches.
