Abstract

A control arm for bobbin winding mechanism in a lockstitch sewing machine is provided with a pawl which serves both to guide needle thread into a thread entering slot for a tensioning device on a bobbin case, and to hold an arm of the tensioning device in a position effective to prevent the thread from being pulled out of the slot.
