    Question

    Sewing machine runs heavily due to which reason?

    A.

    More pressure is applied on the pressure foot

    B.

    When the thread is clogged in the shuttle

    C.

    Lack of oiling and cleaning

    D.

    When the belt is too loose

    Correct option is C

    Correct Answer: (C) Lack of oiling and cleaning
    Explanation:
    → A sewing machine runs heavily when there is insufficient lubrication or accumulated dust and lint in its moving parts.
    → Lack of oiling causes friction between metal components, making the machine hard to operate.
    → Regular cleaning and oiling ensure smooth movement of the needle, shuttle, and feed mechanism.
    → Proper maintenance prevents wear and tear, overheating, and thread breakage, improving the efficiency and lifespan of the machine.
    Information Booster:
    → Sewing machine needs regular oiling for smooth operation.
    → Dust, lint, and thread fibers can clog moving parts, causing heaviness.
    → Lack of lubrication increases friction and resistance.
    → Proper cleaning includes removing lint, oiling moving parts, and adjusting tension.
    → Helps prevent mechanical breakdowns and uneven stitching.
    → Extends the lifespan of machine components.
    → Essential for efficient and safe sewing operations.
    Additional Information (Other Options):
    Option (A) More pressure on the presser foot – May cause fabric puckering but not heaviness.
    Option (B) Thread clogged in the shuttle – Causes thread jams, but not heaviness in running.
    Option (D) Loose belt – May cause slipping, reducing stitching efficiency but not heavy running.
