The heart of the lockstitch machine lies in its mechanism. It employs two primary elements a needle that pierces the fabric, carrying the upper thread, and a bobbin that supplies the lower thread. As the needle descends, it forms a loop with the lower thread, which is then captured and locked by the bobbin thread as the fabric is fed through. This simultaneous action results in the distinctive lockstitch, providing strength and aesthetic appeal.
