\n
An empty bobbin is placed over the spindle of a bobbin winder, and it wounds the thread around the bobbin with the foot pedal or a control button on the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazingly this feature of a sewing machine not just saves times, in fact it allows a flawless thread winding over the bobbin for smooth sewing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, some sewing machines do not perform effectively if the thread is manually wrapped on the machine. Consequently, in some circumstances, winding the thread around the bobbin is a necessary step in every sewing process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
An overly wounded bobbin does not fit in the bobbin case, nor does it allow space to thread to move around. Here when a bobbin winder makes sure to wound just the right amount of thread over the bobbin. Once the bobbin is full, it automatically stops the winding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This process helps the sewers to avoid any sort of over wounded thread on the bobbin. It saves a lot of time by making the process of sewing simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is designed in such a way that once the bobbin is wounded to a full extent, it instantly removes the grip of the winder to stop further thread winding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Bobbin cover can be found in top-loading machines. It is a plastic cover placed over the top part and right in front of the needle plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where the bobbin is affixed, this may vary depending upon the machine type. Because on front load machines, the bobbin can be affixed in the metal case and loaded from the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While a few latest machine models have side ways to open the cover and then load the bobbin case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
The bobbin driver is found at the bottom of the needle plate. A loaded bobbin, along with its metal case, is inserted in this area. The driver is the part that revolves around the bobbin to release the exact amount of thread for a smooth sewing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are also known as “Spool Case”, or a “Bobbin Spindle”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
The thread tension dial is usually a small dial with tiny numbers. It is used to set the pressure of the thread while sewing. On different machines, the number of options may vary on the dial. While in older sewing machine models, this part may appear as a lever with 0 to 6 numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is one of the most important parts of a sewing machine that controls the tension of the thread. It can adjust the thread from tight to very loose pressure. Tensions need to be adjusted based on the type of fabric you will use for a particular project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

But it is essential to adjust the thread tension so that both the upper and the lower thread are synced perfectly. Because an uneven syncing can result in poor sewing. To be on the safer side you can always check the thread tension by sewing on a small sample before starting the actual project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Thread take-up lever<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
\n
The thread that takes up a lever is a metal lever which usually appears as a hook. It moves the thread up and down while you are sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It pulls the thread from the spool and helps to give an even supply of thread to the needle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may see one of these in the older versions more visible. While latest models usually have slightly visible ones, which are barely noticed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
The tension disk controls the amount of pressure applied to the thread. It needs to be adjusted if the needle is missing the thread over the fabric. Just the right pressure on the thread can give you a perfect sewing experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Computerized machines have this disk fixed inside of the machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is a tiny blade fixed on a spool-holder of the machine. It allows convenience in cutting the sewing thread. You can use it as a substitute for your tiny scissors for cutting the thread while you sew. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
