- Nòt: Pou sekirite, li fòtman sijere ou fèmen pouvwa a anvan anfile.
- Place the spool of thread on the spool pin.
- Draw thread from the spool through the upper thread guide (3) and proceed through pre-tension spring as illustrated (4).
- Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel and up left channel (5). During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread guide.

- Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye. Trim thread to length with built-in thread cutter (8).
Thread Tension Adjustment
Correct thread tension is essential for balanced stitches. Adjust the tension dial as needed.
- Upper Thread Tension: To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number down. Try to achieve balanced tension for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to "4".
- Lower Thread Tension: To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and bobbin. Hold the thread coming from the bobbin. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind slowly. If it unwinds too fast, it will drop too much. If it unwinds too slowly, it will not drop.
Tanpri sonje:
- Proper setting of tension is important for good sewing.
- The correct tension for example, top, bottom, and all stitch functions, thread or fabric.
- The tension is correct when both upper and bottom is usually only desirable for straight stitch construction.
- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5".
- For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread tension will be less than for straight stitch sewing.
- For decorative sewing you will always obtain a nice stitch and foot fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

Stitch Selection and Adjustment
The Singer 2282 offers various stitch patterns and adjustments for different sewing needs.

To select a stitch pattern, simply turn the Pattern Selector Dial. The Pattern Selector Dial may be turned in either direction.
- For straight stitch: select pattern "1" with the pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length with the stitch length dial.
- For zigzag stitch: select pattern "2" with the pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length and stitch width according to the fabric being used.
- To obtain the other patterns: turn the stitch length dial to "0" or "Sz", select the pattern desired with pattern selector dial, and adjust the stitch width with the stitch width dial.
Stitch Width & Stitch Length Dial
- Function of stitch width dial: The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 5mm. However, the width can be reduced by turning the dial. The width increases as the dial is turned from "0" - "5" (1). The Stitch Width Dial is also the control for the straight stitch while needle position. "0" position is for left, "5" for full right and between "2" and "3" is for center needle position.
- Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching (2/A): Set the Pattern Selector Dial to zig-zag. The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches "0". Next zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below. Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches.
- Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching (2/B): For straight stitch sewing, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to the straight stitch setting. Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and the length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial is approached "0". The length of the individual stitches will increase as the dial approaches "4". Generally speaking, use a longer stitch when sewing heavy-weight fabrics or when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a finer needle or thread.
