Threading and setting up the bobbin for the Singer 1507?
When setting up and threading the sewing machine, the Singer 1507 has a Bobbin that sits inside a bobbincase before being inserted into your machine. There are also Thread Guides on this model and the needle threading is Automatic / Assisted. Threading guides such as small arrows or numbers marked on the machine make it easier to see how to thread the upper thread, which is especially helpful for beginners. Sewers who struggle to see how to thread the needle may also benefit from the automatic needle threader on this model, which is a small inbuilt device that swings around and helps you to hook the thread through the eye of the needle.
What presser feet are compatible with the Singer 1507 ?
We believe the Singer 1507 is compatible with presser feet that are Press On / Low Shank. If you already have presser feet that are compatible with this type of shank from a previous sewing machine, then in many cases you will be able to use the same presser feet on this model as well.
To be sure that presser feet can be used on different machines, or when buying new presser feet and other parts and accessories, you should always check that the parts are compatible with your specific machine number. So for this machine you will need parts and accessories compatible with make and model Singer 1507.

Stitch types on the Singer 1507 include: Straight Stitch, Buttonhole, Decorative, Zigzag. The buttonhole process is a 4 Step Buttonhole. 4 step buttonholes are created in stages and are a more manual process than 1 step buttonholes.
Can I adjust the stitch width and length on the Singer 1507?
On the Singer 1507, the maximum stitch length is 4mm, and the maximum stitch width is 4.5mm. The stitch length on this model is adjusted Adjustable / Manual Control. When a machine has adjustable stitch length you can manually adjust the length of the stitches to create different effects and alter the appearance of the inbuilt stitches. The stitch width on this machine has Adjustable / Manual Control. Adjustable stitch width allows you to manually widen your stitches, which can be particularly helpful for customising zigzag stitches. Note that the adjustable stitch width control on this model appears to be fairly limited, and may not affect all of the inbuilt stitches. The needle positions on this model also appear to be limited and may only be controlled using the inbuilt stitch presets.
What fabrics can I sew with the Singer 1507?
The Singer 1507 is listed as being Suitable for light or mid-weight fabric such as cotton or wool. On many machines, these results will only be achieved with the correct needle and thread combination, so specialty needles and threads may need to be purchased separately and may not be supplied with your machine. You should consult the manual for your machine to ensure that the machine is set up correctly when sewing different fabrics, and always sew test samples to get the best possible stitch quality and to achieve perfectly balanced tension.
Can I adjust the thread tension and the presser foot pressure on the Singer 1507?
To help you achieve the best possible stitch quality across different fabrics the Singer 1507 adjusts the tension of the upper thread using an Adjustable / Manual Control. Adjustable upper thread tension gives you complete control over the tension of the upper thread and this tension can be manually adjusted to balance the tension of your stitches. Adjustable presser foot tension gives you complete control over the pressure placed on the fabric by the presser foot and can be manually adjusted to suit fabrics of different thicknesses.
Does the Singer 1507 have any automated features?
