Sewing Machine

A sewing machine is a textile machine used to stitch fabric, cards and other material together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first working sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790, the sewing machine has vastly improved the efficiency and productivity of fabric, clothing and needle industries.

Home sewing machines are similar—designed for one person to manually sew individual items while using a single stitch type. Modern sewing machines are designed in such a way that the fabric easily glides in and out of the machine without the hassle of needles and thimbles and other such tools used in hand sewing, automating the process of stitching and saving time.

Industrial sewing machines, by contrast, are larger, faster, more complex, and more varied in their size, cost, appearance, and task.

The fabric shifting mechanism may be a workguide or may be pattern-controlled (e.g., jacquard type). Some machines can create embroidery-type stitches. Some have a work holder frame. Some have a workfeeder that can move along a curved path, while others have a workfeeder with a work clamp. Needle guards, safety devices to prevent accidental needle-stick injuries, are often found on modern sewing machines.

What type of sewing machine should I buy?
Q. I'm an amateur and its the first time that I'm using or buying a sewing machine. I want to try and make my own clothes,but I'm not sure what I should first look for in a sewing machine. How many sewing patterns should be enough or appropriate for a beginner and is user friendly?
Asked by Claire17 - Mon Sep 19 10:13:14 2011 - Hobbies & Crafts - 2 Answers - Comments

A. Basically, a machine that has, in addition to the straight stitch: blind hem stitch adjustable needle position presser foot pressure adjustment (this is very helpful when sewing sheer fabrics). Which machine - all the major brands have what is needed from beginner to top of the line models. Visit your local sewing machine dealers and tell them what you are planning and they will help you choose the model that will suit your need. You do not have to purchase from the first dealer you visit. Judge them the same as the machine; are they pleasant, helpful and are there lessons and classes that you may want to join.

How to make my sewing machine go in reverse?
Q. I have my grandmother's sewing machine, which is an old Senger from the 40s or 50s. The machine works great, but I cannot figure out how to make it feed in reverse. I don't have the manual and my grandmother is no longer living. Do old sewing machines even have a reverse setting or should I just do it manually?
Asked by loz_chyna - Mon Jun 25 17:57:54 2007 - Hobbies & Crafts - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. It may or may not have reverse, most did. Look on the main part of the machine. My mothers old machine had a "switch" that you pushed down for reverse and left up for forward. It was located on the main body of the machine on the left side just before the thread and needle area. Hope this helps. Do you have a local fabric store that sells sewing machines? Take a picture or the machine itself there and they might be able to help you find the reverse.
