Singer Heavy Duty 5511 Scholastic Mechanical Sewing Machine Details
The Singer Scholastic 5511 is a heavy-duty sewing machine with a 60% stronger motor than standard ones; its rigid interior and metal frame provide excellent support for skip-free sewing. This lightweight, portable machine can precisely sew, finish, and trim seams and raw edges. At 1100 stitches per minute, this machine delivers speed and professional results. The four-segment feed dog system ensures fabric is picked up and supported from the front to the back of the presser foot to achieve stable and more accurate feeding for an even stitch and finish. The Singer S5511 packs a punch where other sewing machines may come undone. With a built-in free arm, drop feed, presser foot pressure, and stainless steel bedplate, you will enrich your creative possibilities and produce impressive finished looks with the Singer Scholastic 5511.
Top Drop-in Bobbin
Most basic sewing machines feature a front-loading bobbin, which can be tricky to install. The Singer Scholastic 5511 features a top drop-in bobbin. The bobbin and bobbin cover are transparent, allowing you to see the remaining thread consistently, so you never run out in the middle of your project.
Extra High Presser Foot Lift
An extra high-presser foot on a sewing machine is a valuable feature that allows for greater flexibility in handling thicker fabrics and multiple layers of material. This adjustable presser foot setting provides additional clearance between the presser foot and the sewing bed, accommodating bulky projects such as quilts, upholstery, or denim. Lifting the presser foot to a higher position makes it easier to maneuver thick seams and textured materials underneath, ensuring smooth and even stitching without bunching or shifting. This capability makes the sewing machine versatile for various creative endeavors, from constructing heavy-duty garments to crafting intricate quilting designs easily and precisely.
11 Built-in Stitches
The Scholastic 5511 sewing machine equipped with 11 built-in stitches offers a versatile range of options for both basic and decorative sewing projects. Among these are six essential stitches like straight, zigzag, and satin stitches, providing the foundation for everyday sewing tasks from hemming to garment construction. Four decorative stitches add flair with patterns such as scallops and waves for embellishing designs, perfect for adding a unique touch to crafts and garments. Completing the set is an auto buttonhole stitch, simplifying the creation of precise buttonholes with just the touch of a button, making intricate sewing tasks effortless and efficient.
Free Arm Sewing
A free arm on a sewing machine refers to a detachable or retractable section of the sewing bed that allows for easier maneuverability and versatility when working with cylindrical or small garments such as sleeves, cuffs, or children's clothing. When the free arm is exposed by removing an extension table or sliding off a cover, it provides a narrow, curved workspace around the needle, facilitating seamless stitching in tight spaces. This feature is essential for tasks that require precise control and manipulation of fabric, enabling sewers to achieve professional-quality results easily. Once you are done, the bed extension snaps right back into place! This free arm also doubles as a storage compartment.
LED Lighting
Singer has incorporated bright LED lights into this model. Never struggle to see your stitches with the bright, long-lasting LED lighting just above the needle on the 5511. The vivid white light illuminates your work area, helping you always obtain perfectly stitched work. The LED light illuminates your project without putting off unsafe heat and lasts substantially longer than traditional sewing machine bulbs.
Drop Feed Capable
Drop feed capability on a sewing machine is a versatile feature that empowers sewers to explore various creative techniques beyond standard stitching. By disengaging or lowering the feed dogs—the mechanism that moves fabric forward during sewing—users gain the freedom to manipulate fabric freely under the needle.
Heavy Duty Metal Frame & Stainless Steel Bedplate
Over the years, some machines have incorporated less metal and more plastic. The internal metal structure of the machine offers lasting reliability. A metal body is vital for keeping the machine from vibrating while completing heavy-duty projects, and the stainless steel bedplate provides a smooth surface that allows the fabric to glide as you sew.
Stitch Width & Length Adjustment
Increase or decrease the stitch width by changing the needle position or using the convenient adjustment dial. The width can be adjusted using only the left needle. The width can be adjusted when using only the right needle. The stitch length is best left on "3" for most sewing.
