It may seem silly, but locating the power switch is the most important step! This is located in different places depending on the sewing machine you have, but is normally on the right side of the body. This is a small plastic or metal pin that sticks out of the top of the sewing machine, and holds your spool of thread. The thread guide directs thread from the spool on the top of the machine to the bobbin winder. It is a geometric metal piece that sticks out of the top of the sewing machine on the left side. To the right of the spool pin on top of the sewing machine is another smaller plastic or metal pin, next to a small horizontal wheel. This is the bobbin winder and the bobbin winder stopper. These work together (with the spool of thread) to wind thread onto your bobbin prior to starting sewing. These are in different locations depending on the specific sewing machine you have, but there is typically a small screen next to a few physical buttons on the front side of the sewing machine. These buttons select the type of stitch you create, the length of the stitch, and the direction of the stitch (forward or in reverse). Check the manual for your specific machine to determine the functions for each of the buttons. When you're ready to thread your sewing machine, you will wind the thread from the spool on top, through the thread guide, and then around the takeup lever. This is the lever (with two cut-in grooves) located on the front left side of the sewing machine. There are typically numbers and arrows printed next to it to clearly direct you the way in which to thread the machine. The tension dial is a small numbered wheel near the takeup lever. It controls the tension of the thread as you sew; if the tension is too tight, the needle will be pulled to the right. If the tension is too loose, the thread will loop on the bottom of the fabric you are sewing. This is a metal piece that holds the needle in place while sewing. It is located under the arm of the sewing machine, looks similar to a large nail, and sticks out to the right side of the needle. This is a metal attachment under the needle clamp screw that looks like a small ski. When engaged, this holds the fabric in places and guides it through the sewing machine as you sew. It will be a lever to the right or back of the needle assembly. To adjust the presser foot, move it all the way down and all the way up. the needle plate is the silver plate just below the needle. Simple enough, huh?

Problem: Article: This is especially important in your work or home life. Living or working with a narrow-minded person can be stressful. It's important that you assert yourself to avoid getting walked all over. Be respectful, but also stand up for yourself. Do not blame or demean the person, but assert your rights and feelings. For example, your narrow-minded boyfriend is insisting that it's petty for you to want to stay out late with your friends. Do not say something like, "That's ridiculous and you're being controlling. There's no reason why I can't spend the night with my friends." You want to make sure your needs are heard, but voice them in a productive fashion. Instead, say something like, "I can see you get frustrated when I stay out late, and you would like us to spend more time together, but please don't judge my character based on my actions. My relationships with other people are important and need to be nurtured as well." You want to correct poor behaviors if you're close to a narrow-minded person. Do so respectfully, as not to escalate the situation. It's important to teach people how to treat others better. Address the situation in the moment. Wait until a narrow-minded person is being critical to provide feedback. For example, say you are struggling at work. Your boyfriend, who works in a different field, starts listing everything you're doing wrong. Stop him and say something like, "I appreciate your feedback, but I'm not looking for advice. Can you please just listen to me?" A narrow-minded co-worker can be frustrating. Work on addressing their behavior in the moment. When they offend you, speak up. For instance, say there is a new policy in place in your office in terms of clocking hours. You are trying to follow the policy, which you find easier, but the narrow-minded co-worker is complaining. Your co-worker insists you should take his or her side on the issue, and help him or her confront your boss. Say something like, "Look, I like the new system. I appreciate you sharing your opinion, but I'm not interested in getting into a confrontation over it." This can often stop a narrow-minded person in their tracks. If someone is insisting their way or method is right, present facts to the contrary. For example, a colleague may insist on taking a particular driving route when carpooling. He or she may insist it is faster. You can pull out your phone, and look up your route on the GPS. Be polite. Say something like, "I actually think this way is faster. It's less miles, and the time the GPS is giving me is also shorter." Narrow-minded people can be difficult to be around. It's completely normal to sometimes need a break. If a narrow-minded person is getting to you, walk away from the situation. End the conversation politely. You do not want to make an already hostile person more hostile. Say something like, "Okay, thanks for talking" and then make up an excuse. For example, "I have some work to catch up on." Go do something you enjoy to help yourself disengage. Read a book, watch a movie, or go for a walk. Pick a relaxing activity to take your mind off of your frustrations.
Summary: Be assertive when necessary. Deal with a narrow-minded loved one. Cope with a narrow-minded co-worker. Present facts. Take a break on occasion.
