Working a Singer sewing machine involves understanding its components and functions. The machine consists of a needle, bobbin, presser foot, and tension dial. The needle pierces the fabric, while the bobbin holds the thread that forms the lower part of the stitch. The presser foot holds the fabric in place, and the tension dial adjusts the tightness of the stitches.
To operate the machine, insert the bobbin into its compartment and thread it through the bobbin case. Then, insert the needle and thread it through the needle bar. Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the foot to hold the fabric in place. Adjust the tension dial to the desired tightness. Finally, start sewing by pressing the foot pedal or turning the handwheel.
