Sewing Machine Hand Wheel

The hand wheel on a sewing machine is a rotating wheel located on the right side of the machine. It is used to manually control the movement of the needle and thread while sewing. When turned clockwise, it raises and lowers the needle, allowing the user to make stitches. The hand wheel is typically used when starting and finishing a seam, or for making small adjustments while sewing. It can also be used to manually control the machine when sewing delicate or intricate designs.
