Basic sewing is simple. You'll be surprised at what you can accomplish with just an afternoon of practice. Today's sewing machines maximize your sewing experience with their ease of operation, and professional results. The parts of a sewing machine are easy to identify.  \nModels and makes of sewing machines differ in layout and features, but the basic parts are similar. Your machine's manual should show a detailed diagram of your specific model. If you don't have a manual, check the manufacturer's website. Often, manuals can be found online and downloaded. Consult your machine's manual for specific instructions on use and care.  \nSponsored by  3  \nSEWING BASICS RESOURCE GUIDE  \n1. Spool pin: Holds a spool of thread.  \n2. Bobbin winder spindle: Bobbin is placed here during winding.  \n3. Bobbin winder stopper: Stops winding the bobbin when it reaches capacity.  \n4. Stitch width dial: Controls the width your stitch. It is used to create a zigzag stitch.  \n5. Pattern selector dial: Turn the pattern selector dial to set the symbol of the desired stitch pattern. On computerized machines, stitches are usually selected on a menu screen.  \n6. Handwheel: The large knob on the right side of your machine. Manually raises and lowers the needle.  \n7. Stitch length dial: Controls the length of the stitch. Shorter stitches for finer fabrics, longer for heavier fabrics, basting and gathering.  \n8. Reverse stitch lever: The machine will sew in reverse while the lever is pushed. Depending on your machine model, this may be a button.  \n9. Power switch: The off-on switch is usually located on the right side of the machine, beneath the handwheel.  \n10.
