A sewing machine, also known as a “silai machine” in some parts of the world, is a mechanical or computerized device used to join fabrics together using thread. Sewing machines come in a variety of types and models, but most of them have similar basic components. In this blog, we will discuss the different parts of a sewing machine with accompanying images.
- Needle
The needle is the primary tool used to stitch fabric together. It is typically made of steel and has a sharp point on one end and a hole on the other. The needle moves up and down as the machine stitches, piercing the fabric and carrying the thread through it.
- Bobbin
The bobbin is a small, spool-like object that holds the thread underneath the fabric. It sits in a bobbin case, which is typically located in the lower part of the sewing machine.
- Bobbin Winder
The bobbin winder is a device that winds the thread onto the bobbin. It is usually located on the top of the machine and is operated by turning a knob or pushing a lever.
- Feed Dogs
The feed dogs are a set of metal teeth that grip the fabric and move it through the machine as it stitches. They are located underneath the needle plate and are powered by a series of gears and cams.
- Needle Plate
The needle plate is a metal plate that sits under the needle and presser foot. It has a small hole in it that the needle passes through, and the feed dogs move the fabric over it as it stitches.
- Presser Foot
The presser foot is a metal or plastic foot that holds the fabric in place as it is stitched. It is attached to a spring-loaded mechanism that allows it to move up and down with the needle.
- Tension Discs
The tension discs are a set of metal discs that regulate the tension on the thread as it passes through the machine. They are typically located on the top of the machine and are adjusted by turning a knob or dial.
- Handwheel
The handwheel is a large wheel on the side of the machine that is used to manually move the needle up and down. It is also used to raise and lower the presser foot and to adjust the tension on the thread.
- Stitch Selector
The stitch selector is a knob or lever on the front of the machine that allows the user to select different types of stitches, such as straight stitch, zigzag stitch, or buttonhole stitch.
- Power Switch
The power switch is located on the side or back of the machine and is used to turn the machine on and off.
- Foot Pedal
The foot pedal is a device that is used to control the speed of the machine. It is typically connected to the machine by a cord and is operated by pressing down with the foot.
Overall, these are the essential parts of a sewing machine, each playing a significant role in the functioning of the machine. With proper knowledge and understanding of these parts, one can operate and maintain the machine to its full potential, enabling them to create beautiful pieces of clothing or home decor items.
