The main purpose of a hand wheel on a sewing machine is to slowly turn the needle by hand. This gives you control to position fabric under the needle and align fabric to guides built into the machine.
On older model sewing machines the hand wheel has an inner wheel that is loosened to allow the machine to wind a bobbin while disengaging the needle area of the sewing machine. This is done by holding the outer wheel and turning the inner wheel.
Newer electronic machines have a simple hand wheel that does not have a disengaging feature. This feature is built into the machine when you move the bobbin toward the bobbin winding brake.

What is a handwheel?
The handwheel generally refers to the small wheel to the right of the machine (when faced during sewing). As the needle moves up and down, the handwheel spins. Usually you will give the handwheel a quick spin when first starting the needle, or turn it manually when sewing through thicker material.

What does the handwheel on a sewing machine do?
It allows you to move the mechanism by hand - slowly to get the machine head into the position you want (say to remove the garment from the machine or to change the needle). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On all standard sewing machines the handwheel is turned so the top of it comes toward you. It can be turned a small amount in the opposite direction, but turning it any significant amount in the opposite direction will cause damage to the machine.
What makes the needle on a sewing machine go up and down that is not the foot pedal?
The handwheel. It is generally located on the right side of the machine at the top, and is about the size of your palm.
Which way do you turn the hand wheel on sewing machine?
Most machines the handwheel turns toward you. The one exception to that rule that I know of is the older White Rotary machines: Their handwheel is turned away from you. The easiest way to check is to make sure the machine is not in reverse(if it has a reverse or backtack) and turn the handwheel when the machine is unthreaded, if the feeddogs move towards the back of the machine (away from you when you are seated in front of the machine), you are turning the handwheel in the correct direction.
What puts the sewing machine into neutral?
The sewing machine is put into neutral by disengaging the drive mechanism that connects the motor to the needle or feed dogs. This is typically done by adjusting a lever or switch, allowing the machine to run without stitching, which is useful for winding bobbins or troubleshooting. In some models, this may also involve moving the handwheel or turning a specific knob. Always consult the user manual for specific instructions related to your machine.

What is the function of wheel and axle in the sewing machine?
In a sewing machine, the wheel and axle function as a mechanism to convert rotational motion into linear motion. The wheel, often referred to as the handwheel, allows the user to manually control the movement of the needle and feed mechanism. As the wheel turns, it drives the axle, which in turn moves the needle up and down and advances the fabric, facilitating the sewing process. This system enhances precision and control over the stitching operation.
What is the function of the hand wheel on the sewing machine?
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.
