Alter this setting to
change the length
of the stitch that
you need on your
work.
This is a sharp –
ended piece of
metal that
punctures the fabric
allowing us to sew.
This changes the
direction of the stitch
allowing you to sew the
opposite way and also
stops your threads from
coming undone.
This turns on a light
at the side of the
machine, reducing
the strain on your
eyes.
These are the small
teeth under the
pressure foot that
move the fabric
along.
This takes up the
thread from the reel
to get ready for the
next stitch.
This is where you
rest and
manipulate the
fabric when you
are machining it.
You unscrew this
component to
replace the needle
with a new one.
This is where you
attach the thread to
the machine so that
it doesn't slip.
This holds the fabric
in place when
stitching so that it
moves evenly and
smoothly.
Allows you more
control over the
needle to do very
precise stitching.
This allows you to
switch between
different types of
stitches.
Born in Bristol in 1974
Before becoming an
underground graffiti artist
he was a trained butcher
Currently lives in Bristol.
Banksy creates his pieces of
work using stencils. This was
so that he could spray his
works quickly without
getting caught by the police.
More than 300,000 people
visited the Banksy exhibition in
Bristol.
The Banksy Vs Bristol Museum
exhibition saw people queuing for up
to six hours to gain admission.
Visitors to the free show donated
more than £45,000 towards museum
funds - roughly the amount usually
collected across an entire year.
On its last day people were queuing
before dawn to see the exhibition.
Banksy charged Bristol City Council
£1 to stage the exhibition in his
home town on condition all CCTV
footage of him preparing the show
was destroyed.
Banksy’s work has been
seen on the streets of
Bristol, London, New
York and Birmingham!!!
Both Christina Aquilera
and Kate Moss have
pieces of his work.
Paying up to £50,000!!
