Choosing a sewing machine would seem to be a simple task. For most, all that is needed is a basic machine which will sew straight lines and do button holes. Yet, there are many different options available on sewing machines so before heading out the door to buy one, you will need to know what your sewing machine is to be used for. If you only undertake a sewing project when you have no choice, you may opt to go with a mechanical sewing machine. If sewing is your favorite hobby, then an electronic sewing machine may be more to your liking. When you have chosen to make this task your life work, a computerized model may be your best option.
All machines make the standard running stitch using two different sources of thread. While the upper needle takes the thread in a downward motion into the fabric, the bottom thread catches this thread and loops it back up by use of a bobbin. A “feed dog” is what moves the fabric along to begin the next stitch. With a mechanical machine, this process will be controlled by a rotary wheel. In order to make adjustments to your stitches, you will need to turn a dial. This is a very basic machine and tends to be inexpensive.
An electronic sewing machine is different in that you can control many functions just by pushing a button. When you use a model of this sort, you will be utilizing a number of motors which have different duties. Electricity is required for this model and they do tend to be more expensive than their mechanical counterparts.
For extensive sewing work, your best bet is a computerized sewing machine. This model uses numerous motors to control all functions. A computer is installed to coordinate these tasks and make your job easier. If you often repeat the same stitches over and over again, this is the model for you. It will handle repetitive tasks with ease and your job will be much simpler as a result. Keep this in mind when shopping so you get the perfect machine for the work you will be completing.
When using a sewing machine always be careful as the needle could go right through through your hand.

To sew effectively and efficiently with a sewing machine, start by threading the machine correctly and selecting the appropriate stitch and tension settings. Make sure to use the right needle and thread for your fabric. Practice sewing straight lines and curves to improve your skills. Keep your machine clean and well-maintained for optimal performance.
The machine won't work if not in correct order. Believe me. Many times a screw up or mistake is because of not following the directions. Sewing machines have those books too.
The hand wheel on a sewing machine is primarily used to raise the needle in order to feed or remove the work (seam, zipper, button or whatever you are sewing) into or out of the machine. It is also used to advance the work slowly to reach a certain point manually, where you might again resume sewing.
It is a round piece of plastic with bumps around the circumference. When the cam is inserted in the sewing machine, the "bumps" make the needle move left or right to form decorative stitches. Each different cam makes the sewing machine form one specific decorative stitch.
