Shank Heel Sole Toes

 Arm: - It houses the drive shafts Hand wheel: - It controls the motion of the machine manually or electrically

Reverse stitch control: - It changes the stitch direction.

Stitch length regulator: - It indicates and changes the SPI (Stitches per inch) / SPM
7

 Thread spindle: - It holds the spool of thread Pressure regulator: - It is the control that regulates the amount of pressure on Presser foot. Thread retainer: - (Pre-tensioner) It applies small amount of tension to the disc so that the thread will flow uniformly in the tension discs.
8

 Take-up lever: - It first loosens the thread for stitch formation then removes any slack to set or lock the stitch. Thread guides: - (thread eyelets) they smooth the thread and protect it from abrasion. Presser foot:- It holds the fabric in place for stitching
