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.

How are machine attachment attach in the sewing machine?
There are different types of attachments, so I recommend checking your manual for the best ways to attach them. A common attachment is a presser foot. The different type of presser feet attach to a small, horizontal bar which is behind and below the needle.

What is needle bar?
The needle bar is a component of a sewing machine that holds the needle in place and controls its up and down movement. It is connected to the machine's mechanism that creates the stitch by moving the needle in synchronization with the fabric being sewn.
What is the function of the needle clamp screw?
The needle clamp screw secures the needle in place by holding it firmly against the needle bar. This prevents the needle from shifting during sewing, ensuring accurate stitching and preventing any potential damage to the machine or fabric.
What is a presser-bar lifter?
controls the up-and-down movement of the needle and thread take-up lever
When would you use the tacking stitch?
If you are referring to the 'tack bar' stitch on a sewing machine, it would be used at the ends of each buttonhole. Also a tack bar is used to 'lock down' area's like the pocket . . . places where you do not want the fabric to shift.
