 Lesson TYPES OF SEWING
MACHINES, PARTS AND
2 FUNCTIONS
It's important to have a basic understanding of your sewing machine so that
you can look after it properly. For example, occasionally oiling the needle post and
the hook will improve your sewing experience and reduce wear and tear on
your machine. If you don’t know what all of these things are, then your machine
will have problems and sewing won’t be as much fun.
