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 takes up the thread from the reel to get ready for the
next stitch.
These are the small teeth under the
pressure foot that move the fabric
along.
This turns on a light at the side of the
machine, reducing the strain on your
eyes.
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 is where you rest and
manipulate the fabric when you are machining it.
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.
