Parts of Hi-speed Sewing Machine Two Major Parts Upper Part Lower Part
3 Parts of Upper Sewing Machine Head Arm Bed
1. Spool Stand - this supports the spool rests and provides the space for spool thread guides. 1. 2. 3. 5.
2. Spool Stand Thread Guide - this are circular ceramic guides having a circular slot. These guides are kept directly above the spool, so that the thread unwinds under tension. 2.
3. Spool – where the thread is placed 3.
4. Spool Rest - it supports the spool, also known as needle thread. 4.
1. 1. Ferrule – locked the bobbin winder for movement.
2. 2. A bobbin winder is a tool that’s used in sewing machines to keep the thread wound properly on the spool
3. 3. Belt is an essential component that connects the sewing machine 's motor to the handwheel.
4. 4. Tension discs are responsible for controlling the amount of pressure applied to the thread for an even feed to the machine needle
1. 1. Handwheel - It is used for slowly raising and lowering the sewing needle manually to provide better control to position fabric under the needle.
2. 2. Belt guard - It clamps around the pulley, preventing workers from accidentally contacting the belt while it's in motion.
3. 3. Stitch length regulator - is to maintain the length of the stitch during sewing.
4. 4. Reverse lever - Machine sews in reverse when pressed. Locks in stitches and secures seams so they won't come apart.
1. 1. Thread guide - these define the path your top thread follows from spool to needle , often in slightly different positions on different machine models.
2. 2. Thread take-up lever - moves up and down during the stitch formation to provide the extra thread while forming the loop and takes back the needle thread after each stitching to set the stitch.
3. 3. Thread guide - these define the path your top thread follows from spool to needle , often in slightly different positions on different machine models.
4. 4. Slack thread regulator - control the tension of the thread during the sewing process.
5. 5. Check spring – prevents the needle from stabbing into it’s own thread by keeping tension on the thread until the needle tip buries into the material.
6. 6. Tension disc – control the amount of pressure applied to the thread for an even feed to the machine needle causing an evenly formed stitch.
1. 1. Presser bar – to place pressure on the feed dog so that the fabric we have placed between the feed dog and the presser foot does not shift.
2. 2. Needle bar – is the part of the sewing machine that holds the needle in place.
3. 3. Shank – is the metal rod that connects the presser foot onto the sewing machine. The height of significant because it determines the thickness of the fabric you can fit under the foot.
4. 4. Sole -
5. 5. Toes - to hold the fabric down on either side of the needle.
6. 6. Needle – to pierce the fabric, allowing the thread to pass through and create stitches.
7. 7. Needle clamp/screw – hold the needle in place.
1. 1. Slide plate – provide access to bobbin area and protects the bobbin area from thread and fabric being caught in moving parts when the machine is operating.
2. 2. Throat plate - It has a hole for the needle to go through to the bobbin casing, a pair of slots for the feed dog to move and stitching guide lines.
3. 3. Face plate - It is a cover that conceals all the internal working elements of the machine.
4. 4. Presser foot lifter – raises and lowers the presser foot so you can insert and remove fabric and change presser foot.
5. 5. Pressure adjustment dial – sets the amount of pressure that the presser foot exerts on the fabric.
1. 1. Shuttle – holds the bobbin case while sewing.
2. 2. Bobbin – provides the bottom thread, underside the stitches a sewing machine forms.
3. 3. Bobbin case – holds the bobbin and has a specific threading pattern that provides tension to the bobbin thread.
