School sewing machines should be easy to learn and use for multiple operators. Auto needle threaders can speed up the threading process. Drop In Bobbins make them easier to load and thread properly. Built In Bobbin Cases that do not have to be removed to load bobbins, eliminate misplaced bobbin cases. Automatic declutch of bobbin winder mechanisms allows quick bobbin winding without having to find or use the clutch wheel.
Computerized school sewing machines are even easier to use and more exciting for today's tech savvy students. Automatic needle up positioning removes slack from the needle thread that causes jams and birdnesting. Pushbutton or programmable needle down positioning allows for easier pivoting and not losing your place. Speed limit levers or settings allows for stitch by stitch control. Pushbutton or on screen selection of stitch patterns eliminates finding dials and levers for setting optimal stitch length and width settings. One step auto size buttonholes make sure all buttonholes come out the same length. Auto thread trimmers eliminate jump stitches in embroidery and getting out the scissors when seams are finished. Start Stop buttons are included with many computer sewing machines and elimate the need for foot pedal controls, even though they are also included.
