The Singer 5523 Scholastic is designed to enhance sewing efficiency and enjoyment, perfect for crafting, garment making, and home decor projects. The Singer HD5523S combines traditional design with durable construction, making it a reliable choice for beginners and experienced sewists. 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 5523.
Top Drop-in Bobbin
Most basic sewing machines feature a front-loading bobbin, which can be tricky to install. The Singer Scholastic 5523 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.
23 Built-in Stitches
The Scholastic 5523 sewing machine, equipped with 23 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.
Automatic Needle Threader
Singer has incorporated a built-in needle threader directly above the machine needle. This ingenious mechanism works by using a small hook to catch the thread and pull it through the eye of the needle with precision and ease. Allowing you to thread your needle easily and efficiently. This feature not only enhances the convenience and accessibility of sewing but also encourages smoother transitions between thread changes, making it a highly valued addition. Eliminate the often tedious and time-consuming task of threading, allowing them to start their projects faster and with less frustration.
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. Users can manipulate fabric freely under the needle by disengaging or lowering the feed dogs, which moves fabric forward during sewing.
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. This combination not only extends the life of the sewing machine but also improves your experience by enabling precise, hassle-free sewing even under demanding conditions.
Stitch Width & Length Adjustment
The stitch length control determines how far the feed dogs move the fabric between each needle penetration, affecting how tightly or loosely the stitches are formed. This feature enables sewists to create everything from durable seams to elaborate embellishments, providing flexibility and creative freedom. Adjusting length and width is straightforward, allowing for precise and easy customization according to your needs. The width can be adjusted when using only the right needle. The stitch length is best left on "3" for most sewing.
