What is the function of the hand wheel on the sewing machine?

Answer 1

The hand wheel on a sewing machine is primarily used to raise the needle in order to feed or remove the work (seam, zipper, button or whatever you are sewing) into or out of the machine. It is also used to advance the work slowly to reach a certain point manually, where you might again resume sewing.

Answer 2

The hand wheel is also called the balance wheel, and it manually advances the sewing machine. It's the round wheel located at the upper right of the sewing machine.

The hand wheel is most often used to sink the needle before you start a seam, or to raise the needle when you have finished a seam.

Answer 4

If you press the foot controller, the sewing machine motor turns on and the sewing machine runs.

Turning the handwheel basically does the same thing, except the motor doesn't turn on so the machine runs very slowly.
