Concetti Chiave
- Ensure the sewing machine is placed in good lighting for optimal visibility.
- Adopt a proper sewing posture: sit straight, avoid leaning over the machine, and maintain a comfortable height.
- Properly wind and fix the bobbin, ensuring it is not overfilled and correctly threaded.
- Check that both upper and lower threads are positioned correctly before starting to stitch.
- Test the stitching on a folded fabric piece to confirm the tension is correct for even stitching on both sides.

Preparazione della macchina da cucire
There are certain guidelines and procedures to take in consideration while operating a sewing machine:
- place the machine in good light.
- use a good sewing machine posture as follows:
• sit straight in front of the machine on seat of comfortable height.
• do not drape yourself over the machine.
• sit back in the chair and bend from the waist.
- fix the needle properly
- wind the bobbin. Do not over fill it. Fix bobbin into the bobbin case and thread it properly.
- thread the machine correctly following the thread guide.
- before stitching, be sure that the upper and lower threads are pulled to the back of the presser foot and that the thread take-up is the highest point.
Test e avvio della cucitura
- test the stitching on a folded piece of fabric to ensure that the tension is alright. A perfect stitching looks the same on both sides.
- place the fabric (work) in the machine so that the bulk of the cloth is at the left-hand side where there is space for it.
- push both threads towards the back of the machine.
- lower the needle into the position required.
- lower the presser foot and begin to machine.
Tecniche di cucitura avanzate
- to turn a corner:
• stop with the needle in the material close to the corner.
• raise the presser foot, turn the material (pivot).
• drop the presser foot and continue stitching.
- to stop and remove the work from the machine:
• place your right hand o the balance wheel.
• let the needle be at the highest point.
- always study the instructional manual or book that come with the sewing machine (they're useful in most cases).
Domande da interrogazione
- Quali sono le linee guida principali per preparare correttamente una macchina da cucire?
- Come si esegue un test di cucitura per assicurarsi che la tensione sia corretta?
- Quali sono i passaggi per girare un angolo durante la cucitura?
È importante posizionare la macchina in buona luce, mantenere una postura corretta, fissare correttamente l'ago, avvolgere la bobina senza riempirla e infilare la macchina seguendo la guida del filo.
Si consiglia di testare la cucitura su un pezzo di tessuto piegato per verificare che la tensione sia adeguata, assicurandosi che la cucitura appaia uguale su entrambi i lati.
Fermarsi con l'ago nel materiale vicino all'angolo, sollevare il piedino, ruotare il materiale, abbassare il piedino e continuare a cucire.
