What does a light switch do in a sewing machine?
The light on a sewing machine helps you see what you're sewing with ease. When sewing, precision and details are essential, so being able to clearly see the needle, thread, stitches, and details are necessary.
What is a pivot is sewing?

The thread guide keeps the thread running in the proper place. If the thread is not threaded correctly, the tension will be off, resulting in jammed or broken threads in the machine.On a sewing machine, the thread guide is a small part that is attached above the needle. It looks like a hook and it hold the thread in place as it is fed through the needle.
Can you pierce your lip with a sewing needle?
You can but I suggest boiling it first or using a lighter to get all the germs off- also, you need to remember that a sewing needle is super skinny so unless you can find jewelry that's the same size of a sewing needle I wouldn't do it. I pierced my own lip before but it was with an actual piece of ear jewelry so I knew that it would be the gauge I wanted it to be- plus a sewing needle kind of hurts your finger when you're trying to push it through, so I'd also suggest putting an eraser on the end of it so it doesn't stab your finger. Sure you can if you want to get an infection. Boiling it doesn't do you any good. The water allows more bacteria to collect on the needle. Also, it only sanitizes the needle. Professionals use autoclaves which completely sterilize the needle. The sewing needle is way too small to have a comfortable transition between the needle and the jewelry. Fact of the matter is that you are not trained to pierce yourself. DON'T DO IT. Wearing ear jewelry in a lip piercing is a bad idea. The back of the earring will most likely become embedded in your lip. Save up the money to get it done by a pro. Just because some people are lucky enough to not get infections doesn't mean you'll be just as lucky.

Where doe a sewing machine needle fall when it breaks?
Strange question, but anyway if the needle breaks off with no thread attached, it could go flying off any which-way. Check the floor around the machine and the table on which the machine is placed...and your lap, and anything else in the vacinity. If it breaks during sewing (that is, with thread attached through it's tip), it will likely remain attached and end up thrashing around in the bobbin holder. It could also end up there with no thread attached, so, in either case, check the bobbin holder first.

What is jamming in sewing?
When someone experiences a "jam" while sewing, this usually refers to their sewing machine "jamming" or locking up.A sewing machine has many moving parts. These can jam when fabric or thread gets caught in the parts, preventing them from moving. When the machine jams, it often makes loud straining or clicking noises as the gears attempt to keep moving.If your sewing machine jams, immediately stop sewing. Carefully move your fabric out from under the needle. If the sewing machine jams with the needle down, carefully jiggle the fly wheel (the hand crank on the right side of the machine) back and forth to loosen the threads. This usually works, and allows you to lift the needle. Clip the threads, and move your project out of the way.Unthread the machine by removing the top thread and the bobbin. Look for any stray threads in the bobbin housing, and remove them. Carefully rotate the fly wheel to check for any obstructions. These obstructions are usually around the bobbin and under the needle. If the fly wheel rotates fully without catching, then the obstructions have been cleared away. Re-thread the top thread and bobbin, and continue sewing.Jams usually happen when the sewing machine is not threaded properly. Make sure that your top thread follows the proper path, and is fed through the tension disks at the top of the machine. Check your sewing machine manual to make sure that the thread feeds off your bobbin in the proper direction.If you are still having problems with jamming in your sewing machine, oil the machine and replace the needle. The needle may be bent or have a bur that is causing the thread to catch, creating the jam. If, after re-threading your machine multiple times, oiling the machine, and replacing the needle, you still have problems with the machine jamming, take your machine in for service. The service tech will be able to find any problems and bring your machine back to working order.
