Key features for mending include a free arm for easily sewing cuffs and hems, a variety of utility stitches like blind hem and zig-zag, and reverse sewing capability. A machine with adjustable stitch length and width provides even more control for precise repairs.

Yes, SINGER® offers several lightweight and compact models that are perfect for quick mending jobs and alterations. These machines are easy to store and transport, making them a convenient tool for any household.

For repairing seams on knit or stretchy fabrics, use a stretch stitch, often indicated by a lightning bolt or triple straight stitch symbol. This allows the seam to flex with the fabric without breaking, ensuring a durable repair on garments like leggings and T-shirts.

Many SINGER® machines include a buttonhole foot that creates perfectly sized, consistent buttonholes in a single step. Some models also come with a button sewing foot, which allows you to quickly and securely attach buttons with the machine.
