It makes the needle move.

Actually the pressure foot works in conjunction with the feed dog mechanism, as well as in synchronicity with the needle movement, and the looping hook. In a zigzag for instance the side to side movement creates a taller or shorter 'Z' based on distance the feed dog moves the material. The feed dog is simply a jagged stepped piece of steel which travels one direction in an elevated motion, 'pushing' the material through the machine. The feed dog returns it's travel in a lowered position, thereby allowing the material to pass in one continuous direction. Often it is the pressure foot which is the final adjustment in preparing ones machine, and is adjusted with more pressure for materials with a more stable nature. It has been my experience that if a fabric is not smooth ( IE. a pocket on a pair of jeans), that loosening the pressure foot allows for easier control whilst sewing around bumpy edges. In fact, I must admit I am more of a technician than a sewer ( what do you call one who sews?), but I've found that you can increase the number of stitches in a given area if you lessen the foot pressure and pull the material back slightly- then let the material go back across the same point again. This of course is the bane of every sewing person ( smells, oops spells better than sewer). If one could only sew a cloth with the same accuracy that their machine was prepared to handle there would be far more people still making their own cloths, or at least fixing them. The bottom line is that the less you sew the more needles you'll break. Practice practice practice.

The presser foot lever is a lever on the back of the sewing machine, directly behind the needle, presser foot, etc. It is usually metal, and it lifts the presser foot up and down so that you can pull fabric through as you sew, or remove the fabric from the machine.

The pedal of a sewing machine controls acceleration. To start sewing, you press on the pedal with your foot. The harder you press, the faster it goes.

Speed. How fast you want the needle to go

Allows you to make the needle on the sewing machine go.

The foot pedal is the device that operates the machine.

The presser bar raises or lowers the presser foot. The machine will not sew properly if the presser foot is raised while you sew.

What year was the model 201-2 Singer electric sewing machine made?

I have the 201 manufactured in 1953. I have been doing much research on the 201 and 201-2 for the last couple years. In good working condition with cabinet you are worth to a collector about $150.00. Collectors love the 201 class because it will sew through demin leather and heavy fabics with ease. It is also a very quiet machine. Good luck and happy sewing.
