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.
