Knowing the basic parts and its functions of your sewing machine and how it
works is an essential part of sewing. A sewing machine reduces the amount of
manual sewing in preparing a garment or any other article because if done by hand,
it can strain both your eyes and hands. It also helps you in getting the work done
quicker with greater accuracy and much more consistently. Accuracy and timeliness
are very important if you have a sewing business.
What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in
the module.
1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the
module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities
included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not
alone.
We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and
gain a deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!
Table of Contents
Thousands of years ago, man had to use a bone needle and animal
sinew (tendon) to sew animal skins for clothing. Then came the use of thread
and needle to join pieces of fabric in constructing garment. Though the
invention of sewing machine in the 19 th century has saved time and labor of
housewives in repairing a garment, a few still rely on hand sewing due to lack
of budget. Rather than buying other home appliances, a practical housewife
would choose for a sewing machine.
