Scope note
Wheels located on the side of a sewing machine, designed to manually control the movement of the machine's take-up lever and needle bar, as well as move the fabric in the sewing machine from front to back. Used as an alternative to a sewing machine's foot pedal, these wheels offer more precise regulation of the needle, better ensuring that it will not break or get stuck in the fabric.
