1Which component of an single-needle lockstitch sewing machine holds the fabric firmly down against the feed plate during stitching?
A.Presser foot
B.Needle clamp
C.Take-up lever
D.Thread tension disc
Explanation: The presser foot holds the fabric flat and firm against the needle plate and feed dog to prevent fabric motion while stitches are being formed.
2Which part of a sewing machine moves the fabric forward step-by-step between each stitch?
A.Feed dog
B.Bobbin case
C.Handwheel
D.Stitch regulator dial
Explanation: The feed dog consists of toothed metal bars that rise through slots in the throat plate to grip and advance the fabric during sewing.
3What is the primary function of the bobbin in a lockstitch sewing machine?
A.To supply the lower thread for stitch formation
B.To cut extra thread after stitching
C.To adjust the top thread tension
D.To hold the presser foot in place
Explanation: The bobbin is a small spool that carries the bottom thread, which interlocks with the top needle thread to form a single-needle lockstitch (ISO 301).
4When manually operating the handwheel of a single-needle lockstitch machine, in which direction should it always be turned?
A.Toward the operator (counter-clockwise)
B.Away from the operator (clockwise)
C.Either direction freely
D.Quarter turn back and forth
Explanation: The handwheel should always be turned toward the operator (counter-clockwise) to ensure smooth thread take-up and prevent thread tangling or needle jams.
5Which machine component is used to raise and lower the presser foot without using the operator's hands?
A.Knee lifter
B.Stitch dial
C.Bobbin winder
D.Tension assembly
Explanation: The knee lifter lever located under the sewing table allows operators to lift the presser foot using knee pressure, keeping both hands free to handle fabric.
6What type of needle point is specifically designed for sewing knit fabrics to prevent cutting the fabric yarns?
A.Ballpoint needle
B.Sharp heavy-duty needle
C.Cutting-point wedge needle
D.Chisel-point leather needle
Explanation: A ballpoint needle features a rounded tip that slides between knit loops rather than piercing or severing the fibers, preventing runs and holes.
7Which needle size is generally suitable for lightweight woven fabrics such as chiffon or organza?
A.9/65 to 11/75
B.16/100 to 18/110
C.21/130 to 23/160
D.14/90 only
Explanation: Fine fabrics require small needle sizes like 9/65 or 11/75 to avoid creating large visible puncture holes or fabric puckering.
8Which daily maintenance task must a sewing machine operator perform before starting work?
A.Cleaning lint from the bobbin area and checking oil levels
B.Replacing the electric motor
C.Dismantling the main drive shaft
D.Replacing the throat plate
Explanation: Operators must clean accumulated dust and fluff from the bobbin race and feed dog, and check the sight gauge for adequate lubrication oil.
9During sewing, if the upper thread continually breaks, which of the following is the most likely cause?
A.Upper thread tension is excessively tight or thread is improperly routed
B.Presser foot pressure is too light
C.Stitch length is set too long
D.Bobbin is completely full of thread
Explanation: Excessive tension on the upper thread subjects it to high strain beyond its tensile strength, causing frequent breakage during high-speed sewing.
10What sewing defect occurs when stitches appear loose with visible loops forming on the underside of the fabric?
A.Insufficient upper thread tension
B.Excessively tight lower bobbin tension
C.Blunt needle tip
D.Stitch length set too short
Explanation: Loops on the underside of the fabric indicate that upper thread tension is too loose, failing to pull the bobbin thread up into the center of the seam.
