Sewing Machine Lessons for Beginners:
Here we will learn sewing machine essential, that
you get to know your machine and how its different parts work. This detailed
sewing tutorial will enable you to set up your machine, guide you to thread
a needle, fill a bobbin, adjust stitch lengths and teach you
everything else you need to get started. Once you will learn the basics of your
sewing machine, you can start experimenting with your stitching skills.
How to Change the needle:
To begin sewing you should know how to change the
needle, you do need to change these needles because they don't last forever you
will probably use different needles for various projects you do even if you're
using basic stitches, I recommend you change the needle when you see the
stitches string from the lines that you want to follow these simple steps to
change the needle loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it anti-clockwise
remove the needle from the needle clamp you will see a flat side and a rounded
side of the needle shank to put it backslide the needle carefully up till it
reaches the stopper set at the needle bar with the flat side towards the needle
bar tighten the needle clamp screw to secure the needle to the needle bar.
How to wind the Bobbin:
This becomes very important when you are working
with various colors of fabrics and need to stitch with threats to match the
fabrics pull the spool holder up and place a thread reel on it remove the
extension table open the cover to remove the bobbin case from the shuttle
remove the bobbin from the bobbin case now pull the thread out from the spool
and pass the thread under the thread guide thread the bobbin through the hole
in the bobbin from the inside to the outside put the bobbin on the bobbin
winder spindle with the free end of the thread coming out at the top push the
bobbin winder spindle to the right pull out the balance wheel to disengage the
machine while winding the thread holds the bobbin thread as shown and press the
foot controller to run the machine after filling a couple of rounds stop the
machine and cut the excess threads on the bobbin as shown continue to
accelerate till the bobbin is completely filled the bobbin winder will
automatically stop cut the thread and slide the bobbin holder to the left
remove the bobbin from the bobbin winder spool place the bobbin in the bobbin
case with the thread running off in an anti-clockwise direction through the
tension plate pull the thread to see if the bobbin moves in the bobbin case in
anti-clockwise direction hold up the bobbin case clutch lever and insert the
bobbin case in the shuttle assembly close the cover of the shuttle replace the
extension table now you will learn how to thread the machine raise the thread
take-up lever to its highest position by turning the balance wheel towards you
draw the end of the thread around the upper thread guide one on the machine
while holding the thread near the spool draw the end of the thread down at
point two and take a u-turn following the arrows firmly draw the thread up from
right to left over the take-up lever at three and down into the take-up lever I
at four slide the thread behind the needle bar thread guide on the left at five
ensure that the needle is raised to the topmost position and lower the needle
threader guide the thread through the needle threader to thread the needle this
could take some practice to get right so try it a few times pull the needle
thread lightly with your left hand and lower the needle in the needle plate by
turning the balance wheel towards you bring the bobbin thread up by pulling the
needle thread as shown from the needle plate hold the thread together and slip
them under the presser foot just one last thing before your machine is off to a
flying start you need to check the needle thread tension this is to avoid extra
thread loops if it is loose well then the thread breaking frequently if it is
too tight the thread tension dial is calibrated 0-9 being the tightest ideally
the thread tension should be set a 3 for stitching fabric.
Sew Ready:
Now that your machine is poised to stitch all you
need to do is select the pattern from the manual which comes with multiple
inbuilt patterns depending on the model you buy so go ahead and choose For example if you want to select the zig-zag stitch turn the pattern selector dial
to see fix the stitch length by turning the stitch length dial to the position
desired so go on take a piece of fabric and experiment with all the patterns
and stitch lengths to see the effect you get and you will soon become a pro at
it.
