Collection: Singer 1306 Accessories

This collection covers accessories for the Singer Start 1306, a compact, portable mechanical machine that many people buy as their first.

Keep it simple to begin with. A pack of Class 15 bobbins, a few universal 80/11 and 90/14 needles and a zipper foot will cover most beginner projects. The 1306 uses standard 130/705H needles, so the Singer and Schmetz packs here all fit.

As you get more confident, a blind hem foot, rolled hem foot and walking foot open up hemming, fine edges and quilting. A machine bag is worth having too, since the 1306 is light enough to take to classes.

If the stitches look loopy underneath, rethread the top thread with the presser foot raised. That fixes the problem more often than the tension dial does.
