Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Maharashtra SSC Stitching with Sewing Machine Divyang exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1On a standard lockstitch sewing machine, which part holds the fabric firmly against the feed dogs while stitching?
A.Bobbin case only
B.Presser foot
C.Thread stand only
D.Hand wheel only
Explanation: The presser foot presses fabric against the feed dogs so the fabric advances evenly under the needle.
2What is the main job of the needle on a sewing machine?
A.To measure seam allowance only
B.To cut buttonholes without thread
C.To carry upper thread through the fabric so a stitch can form
D.To oil the machine bed
Explanation: The needle pierces the fabric and carries the upper thread so it can interlock with the lower (bobbin) thread.
3The bobbin on a lockstitch machine supplies:
A.Only the upper thread from the spool pin
B.The lower thread that locks with the needle thread
C.Only machine oil
D.Only the presser-foot pressure setting
Explanation: In lockstitch machines, the bobbin holds lower thread under the needle plate; it locks with the upper needle thread inside the fabric.
4What do the feed dogs mainly do?
A.Move the fabric forward (or reverse) under the presser foot in small steps
B.Heat the iron soleplate
C.Store spare needles only
D.Wind only empty spools of fabric
Explanation: Feed dogs are toothed metal rails that rise and move fabric in controlled steps so stitch length stays even.
5The hand wheel (balance wheel) is used to:
A.Raise only the table height
B.Turn the machine mechanism slowly by hand for careful needle control
C.Replace the motor belt automatically
D.Measure body size for patterns
Explanation: Turning the hand wheel by hand lets you raise/lower the needle carefully—useful for precise starts, ends, and when checking if the needle is free.
6Before placing hands near the needle area to change fabric position, the safest habit is to:
A.Keep the machine running at full speed
B.Stop the machine and make sure the needle is not moving
C.Cover the foot control with a wet cloth
D.Remove the presser foot while stitching at speed
Explanation: Always stop stitching and confirm the needle is still before adjusting fabric near the needle—this protects fingers.
7The foot control (pedal) mainly allows the operator to:
A.Change needle size automatically
B.Control sewing speed by how firmly it is pressed
C.Oil the bobbin case while sewing
D.Cut thread with the motor only
Explanation: Pressing the foot control increases motor speed; releasing it slows or stops sewing so speed stays under the operator’s control.
8What is the take-up lever’s main role during stitching?
A.It only holds the bobbin in place under the bed
B.It pulls and releases upper thread in time with each stitch so stitches form and tighten correctly
C.It only cuts fabric edges
D.It only sets zigzag width
Explanation: The take-up lever moves up and down to feed and then pull upper thread so each lockstitch forms and settles properly.
9If the upper thread is not correctly passed through the tension discs, a common result is:
A.Perfectly balanced stitches with no loops
B.Loose loops or messy stitches under the fabric from poor upper tension control
C.Automatic needle change
D.The bobbin winding itself without power
Explanation: Upper thread must seat in the tension path. Missing the discs usually leaves upper tension too loose, so loops form on the underside.
10When threading a domestic lockstitch machine, the usual safe sequence ends by:
A.Leaving the thread free without passing the needle eye
B.Passing the upper thread through the needle eye from the correct side after the full thread path
C.Tying the upper thread to the hand wheel
D.Putting the upper spool under the needle plate
Explanation: After guides, take-up lever, and tension path, the upper thread is passed through the needle eye in the direction the machine requires so stitches form.
