Singer 8770 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine - Factory Serviced

Sew Swift. Sew Smart. Sew Ahead of the Curve.

For the first time since the invention of the sewing machine, Singer has created a new method of threading the machine and bobbin by combining digital technology with a one-touch needle threader. Beginning and proficient sewers can now spend less time threading the machine and more time exploring their creativity from basic utility to fashion sewing, crafts and home decor projects.

The new SwiftSmart(TM) Threading System is a revolutionary way to thread a sewing machine. With previous threading systems, sewers had to thread the spool, guide the thread down along the groove, then U-turn the thread, pull it up again, thread the take-up, and pull it down again to thread the needle eye. Now using the SwiftSmart Threading System, all sewers have to do is simply guide the thread from the spool to the needle via the groove at the front of the machine. Another Singer Curvy machine feature, the One Touch Needle Threader, will even pull the thread through the eye of the needle. There is no longer a need to go through a complicated threading process.

Adding to the speed of the SwiftSmart(TM) Threading System is the new Drop & Sew(TM) Bobbin System. With a specially designed thread track and new needle plate, there is no longer a need to manually raise the bobbin thread.

The Singer Curvy machine's new "curvy" shape with contemporary colors comes with three StayBright(TM) LED lights offering unparalleled illumination. The Push-Button stitch selection allows sewers to easily select the desired stitch by pushing a button instead of turning a dial. The machine's auto tension ensures stable stitch quality for every type of fabric.

Features

• Exclusive SwiftSmart Threading System - Digital technology makes threading a cinch! All you have to do is guide the thread directly from the spool to the needle area through a single groove. Then, after effortlessly threading the machine, the needle eye is automatically threaded by simply pressing the Threader Lever, conveniently located at the side of the machine, for truly one-touch threading!
• Exclusive Drop & Sew Bobbin System - Simply drop in the bobbin, then pull the thread through the specially designed needle plate and track. There’s no longer any need to raise the bobbin thread before sewing. It’s that easy!
• 3 StayBright LED Lights - Not just 1 but 3 lamps illuminate the sewing surface for optimal viewing. The long-lasting bulbs (100,000 hours) stays cool, regardless how long the machine is operated.
• Electronic Sewing Machine with 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.
• 173 Stitch Patterns - A large variety of stitches for construction, fashion sewing, quilting, heirloom, crafts, home decorating and decorative sewing, always ensures the perfect stitch for every project.
• 6 Styles of One-Step Automatic Precisely Balanced Buttonholes - Choose from 6 different one step buttonhole styles. Buttonhole sewing is a one step simple process, providing reliable results. Each side of the buttonhole is sewn in the same direction, creating beautifully balanced buttonholes. Also includes 1 manual buttonhole.
• Exclusive Buttonhole Underplate - This is a SINGER® developed system that sandwiches fabric between a lower plate and the foot, to ensure perfect buttonholes on multiple layers of fabric. Effectively, this is like a mini-embroidery hoop in which the machine feeds the attachment, rather than the fabric. It makes creating buttonholes possible in places that conventional buttonhole devices cannot easily reach.
• Exclusive 3-Step Infinite Length Bar-Tack Buttonhole - Create a buttonhole with endlessly long sides. This is ideal when sewing non-traditional sized buttonholes. There are no size limitations with this buttonhole.
• 2-Line (17mm x 56mm) Liquid Crystal Display - Select a stitch, and an illustration of the stitch is displayed on the LCD screen. The LCD provides clear and easy viewing of stitch patterns, including stitch width and length with clear positive backlight
• Built-In Alphabet - Personalize projects by adding a monogram, name or phrase with the Built-In block style Alphabet.
• Built-In Stretch Stitches - Specially designed stitches that add strength and flexibility to seams, especially useful when sewing on knitwear and super-stretch fabrics.
• Hand-Look Quilt Stitch - This stitch is designed to look like hand sewing for topstitching or quilting. The Hand-Look Quilt Stitch is especially valuable to quilters, crafters and heirloom seamstresses.
• Adjustable Stitch Length - Optimal settings for length are automatically adjusted when choosing a stitch. They can be overridden to personalize length choice.
• Adjustable Stitch Width - Optimal settings for width are automatically adjusted when choosing a stitch. They can be overridden to personalize width 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 from a point.
• Automatic Tacking Stitch Function - Tie-off decorative stitches with just a push of a button. With 4 tiny tacking stitches the start and end of the pattern is reinforced. This ensures quality stitching and prevents raveling.
• Automatic Tie-Off Function - With just a push of a button the machine will sew 4 stitches forward and then 4 stitches in reverse at the start of Straight Stitching. At the end, press the reverse button again and the machine will sew 4 stitches in reverse and then 4 stitches forward and then stop. The Automatic Tie-Off Function reinforces 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.
• 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 appliquéing, quilting or pivoting fabric. When removing the fabric from the machine, it is easier if the needle is raised to highest position.
• 20-Space Memory - A memory bank holds full names and simple phrases.
• Editing Capabilities - Editing is simple. A cursor button can be moved through the 20-space memory. If a stitch or letter needs to be removed, use the editing button.
• Mirror Image - Just touch a button and stitches can be mirror imaged. (only on specific stitches)
• Continuous Pattern - Just touch a button and stitches can be sewn either as a single pattern or can be sewn continuously. (only on specific stitches)
• Error Messaging - 4 audible and visual warning messages alert the sewer. The messages make for trouble-free sewing.
• Pattern Override Memory - The 8770 retains the width and/or length override setting. The machine remembers, so you don’t have to! Select a pattern, override the width and/or length, and the machine will remember those changes. Select a different pattern and then return to the overridden pattern - the override settings will still be in place.
• Sewing Speed - With a maximum sewing speed of 750 stitches per minute, projects can be sewn quickly.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 is 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.
• 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 make 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 pattern 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 handy.
• Portable and Cabinet Mountable - Machine has a built-in carry handle, making it easy to transport the machine. Machine can be mounted into a cabinet.
• Free Arm - Provides professional results and easy access to cuffs, collars, pant hems and other difficult-to-reach areas.
