Useful starting settings with room to refine
Spend less time choosing starting settings and more time sewing. The SINGER Brilliance 6180 selects initial stitch length and width when you choose a stitch, then lets you customize those settings on its LCD display.
180 stitch applications
Automatic starting settings
Adjustable length and width
Guided settings, then your own adjustments
The Brilliance 6180 provides a starting point when you choose a stitch, which is useful when moving between different techniques. Those starting settings are recommendations rather than a substitute for a fabric test. Adjust length or width when the project needs a different result. The six buttonhole styles are particularly relevant for garment makers: practice the selected style on the same layers and interfacing as the finished garment before stitching the final closure.
Put the features to work
Move between stitches with confidence
The 6180 selects recommended starting dimensions when you choose a stitch. That is helpful when switching between construction and embellishment, while adjustable length and width let you refine the result for the actual fabric and intended appearance.
Buttonholes that suit the garment
Six one-step styles give garment makers different closure options. Sew a sample with the same layers and interfacing as the finished item, then check the button fit. The free arm also helps with smaller hems and cuffs during garment construction.

Questions about SINGER 6180
Can I override the starting stitch settings?
