1. Bobbin. The bobbin is a small thread reel that holds the bottom thread in the bobbin case. The needle dips down into the bobbin case and loops the bobbin thread and needle thread to form a locked stitch.
2. Drive belt. The drive belt spins the hand wheel and upper shaft as the motor runs to drive the sewing machine cams and gears.
3. Foot pedal. The foot pedal sends power to the motor and controls the speed of the motor.
4. Needle. Mounted on the needle bar, the needle pushes needle thread down through the fabric and into the bobbin case. Bobbin thread loops the needle thread to form a locked stitch. The needle moves up above the fabric and repeats the process to form the next locked stitch.
