1. Balance Wheel: This should always turn towards you when sewing. The function of the balance wheel is to raise and lower the
needle.

2. Step Motion Screw: Loosen it when filling the bobbin so that the needle remains stationery. Tighten it when sewing. It
disengages the needle.

3. Stitch Length Regulator: Adjusting this alters, the length of thestitches. The numbers alongside indicate the number of stitches per unit length.

4. Bobbin Winder: Insert the bobbin into the winder when filling the bobbin with thread. It holds the bobbin in place.

5. Feed Plate: This helps to push the material forward.

6. Presser Foot: Lower presser foot just before sewing and raise the presser foot before removing the finished work. It holds the material firmly in place during stitching.

7. Needle Clamp: To insert needle, place flat side to the right. Tighten and the needle will be held firmly in place.

8. Tension Disc: This regulates the amount of tension on the upper thread.

9. Presser Foot Bar: this is for adjusting the pressure which is necessary when sewing different thicknesses of material.
You should be able to identify each of these parts and know how to use each of them. Practice will make perfection.
