1. Reverse Lever

Page 4: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The reverse lever allows you to stitch in reverse. We use reverse to make our stitches secure at the beginning and end of seams.

2. Pattern Selector

Page 6: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The pattern selector lets you determine what kind of stitch you will be making, such as straight stitches or an embroidery stitch or zig-zag.

3. Stitch Length

Page 8: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

Stitch length determines the length of the stitch.

The range is from 0 to 4; the longest is 4

0 the shortest stitch.

4. Bobbin Winder

Page 10: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The bobbin winder winds the thread from the spool to the bobbin, mechanically.

5. Spool Pin

Page 12: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

Spool pin holds the spool of thread.

6. Thread Tension

Page 14: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

Thread tension determines the tightness or looseness of the stitch.

*Students are reminded not to move this dial; each machine is set for the number on the tension dial that it needs.

7. Pressure Dial

Page 16: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The pressure dial determines how much pressure the presserfoot will have on the fabric.

More pressure may be needed for light weight fabrics, and less pressure for heavy, or thick fabrics.

8. Face Plate

Page 18: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The face plate is a cover that covers all the inner working parts of the sewing machine.

Page 19: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

9. Check Spring Holder

Page 20: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The check spring holder is actually hidden in our machines. It works with the thread tension to slow down the amount of the thread going to the needle.

10. Sewing Light

Page 22: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The sewing light helps you to thread the needle and to see your stitching; both day and night.

Page 23: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

11. Feed Dogs

Page 24: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

Feed dogs are a “teeth-like”part that works with the presserfoot to pull your fabric through the machine.

Page 25: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

12. Throat Plate

Page 26: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The throat plate has stitching guide lines on it and has a hole for the needle to pass through to the bobbin casing

Page 27: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

13. Slide Plate

Page 28: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The slide plate is a clear plastic cover that covers the bobbin case to keep dust and dirt out of the moving parts area of the bobbin case.

Page 29: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

14. Presserfoot

Page 30: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The presserfoot holds the fabric against the feed dogs; so the feed dogs can pull your fabric through the machine.

Page 31: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

15. Needle Clamp

Page 32: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The needle clamp is a black clamp that tightens to hold the needle in place.

Page 33: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

16. Presserfoot Lifter

Page 34: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The presserfoot lifter gently lifts the presserfoot up and lowers it against the feed dogs.

Note: the presserfoot must be lowered before you begin to sew; or fabric will not move through the machine!

17. Take-Up-Lever

Page 36: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The take-up-lever pulls the thread back after each stitch, so that the stitches will lay evenly into the fabric.

Page 37: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

18. Handwheel

Page 38: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The handwheel raises and lowers the needle. You must always pull the handwheel towards yourself to prevent tangling of the threads.

Page 39: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

19. Clutch Knob

Page 40: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The clutch knob is located inside of the handwheel. It is a safety feature of the sewing machine that when pulled out, prevents the needle from jabbing up and down when winding a bobbin.

20. Power Switch

Page 42: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The power switch turns on the power on the sewing machine and also turns off the power, electrically.

Page 43: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

21. Power Socket

Page 44: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The power socket connects the power source to the sewing machine.

Page 45: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

22. Foot Pedal

Page 46: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The foot pedal operates the speed of the sewing machine, electrically.

Page 47: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

23. Thread Cutters

Page 48: Lets Learn the parts of the Sewing Machine. These are our Sewing Machines.

The thread cutters cut the threads at the end of a row of stitching to disconnect your fabric from the sewing machine.
