Let’s Learn About the parts of the
sewing machine
This presentation will show you pictures of the part and the
Name of the part with a description of the part’s function
This is a Sewing Machine
The reverse lever allows you to stitch in reverse.
We use reverse to make our stitches secure at
the beginning and end of seams.
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.
Stitch length determines the length of the
stitch
The range on this machine is from 0 to 4
(0=the shortest stitch, 4=the longest).
The bobbin winder winds the
thread from the spool to the
bobbin, mechanically.
The Spool pin holds the spool of thread.
Thread tension determines the tightness or
looseness of the stitch.
The pressure dial determines how
much pressure the presser foot will
have on the fabric.
Use More pressure for light fabrics, &
less pressure for heavy fabrics.
The face plate is a cover that covers all
the inner working parts of the sewing
machine.
The check spring holder is actually hidden
in this machine. It works with the thread
tension to slow down the amount of the
thread going to the needle.
The sewing light helps you to thread
the needle and to see your stitching.
Feed dogs are a teeth-like part that works
with the presser foot to pull your fabric
through the machine.
The throat plate has stitching guide lines
on it and has a hole for the needle to pass
through to the bobbin casing.
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.
The presser foot holds the fabric against
the feed dogs; so the feed dogs can pull
your fabric through the machine.
The needle clamp is a black clamp that
tightens to hold the needle in place.
The presser foot lifter gently lifts the presser foot
up and lowers it against the feed dogs.
The presser foot must be lowered before you
begin to sew; or fabric will not move through the
machine!
The take-up-lever pulls the thread back after
each stitch, so that the stitches will lay evenly
into the fabric.
The handwheel raises and lowers the
needle.
You must always pull the handwheel
towards yourself to prevent tangling of the
threads.
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.
The power switch turns on the power on
the sewing machine (and also turns off
the power) electrically.
The power socket connects the power source to the
sewing machine.
The foot pedal controls the speed of the
sewing machine.
The thread cutters cut the threads at the
end of a row of stitching to disconnect
your fabric from the sewing machine.
