The Engineering Marvel That is the Sewing Machine!
Today we are looking at the inside of a sewing machine to figure out how exactly it works. How does it sew two fabrics together without passing a needle through to both sides?

My mom taught me how to hand sew, and it's definitely come in handy (pun intended). Last year, I found an old Singer machine from the 60s somebody was throwing away, and I learned how to use it. I made my own COVID masks with it and have altered a few garments to fit better. Sewing gets a rap as a hobby for housewives and old ladies, but it's a super useful skill for anyone to have.

That's really the only part that's never been explained to me before. Even having my own machine and watching it start to work, this part wasn't clear. The top thread looping around the entire bobbin is how this isn't all done with slip knots. The speed at which these machines can perform this trick, many times per second, without destroying the thread every time, is further amazing.

Thank you so much for this! In middle school, all they taught us was how to thread it and I would always forget steps and be punished for it. All I wanted was to understand the machine I was using but the teacher felt like I was just slowing down the class.

I know extender, it is basically a repeater, it can take signal and make it strong, because a router itself cant send a signal for example 15 meters, it can go for 14 max (again this is just example) and the repeater takes the signal and makes it stringer from its specific spot, you can think about it like the repeater in minecraft, it is the same idea

One more random fact: originally a scroll saws/jigsaws were just modified sewing machines. Bottom part with the bobine was removed and the needle was replaced with a small saw blade. As for actual sewing machines, i had the pleasure to work with a 1929 Singer machine that was retrofitted with a motor instead of that one big pedal. It sounded like a train and honestly felt like one, but would sew anything from fine silk to thick warm blankets with no problems. Really awesome machine! Thank you for the explanation of the mechanism. It made sense and was actually interesting to learn about.

So Barthelemy Thimonnier created one of the first successful sewing machines. He had a factory that mainly sewed uniforms for the French army... at a very quick pace. Other tailors in the area got scared because he was taking their jobs, so they all came together and burned down his factory... with him in it. Thimonnier survived, rebuilt, and they did it again. He survived the second murder attempt as well.
I have been wondering about it since I was 5 years old watching my grandmother sew with a sewing machine. It has been bugging me ever since. I am now 31 years old and I can finally put that to rest! Thank you 😅
I would watch just nate talk about sewing theory in a 45 min vid
This actually helps tons, I took home economics in middle school but my teacher completely skipped over the sewing machine. I know how to hand sew but with a sewing machine I'm helpless 😭 Thank you for this video
Wow Nate!!!! 52 years of confusion and mystery dispelled by the understanding that the Bobbin is supposed to go BELOW the machine. Thank you!!!!
Partner had to hand stitch a repair in a machine stitched item and because he's never used a sewing machine he thought the two separate threads were not supposed to hook into each other. It was adorable and I wish I could have shown him this video at the time.
One of the greatest mysteries that plagued my mind as a 5 years old. But by the age 6 I had pretty much figured out how it might be working. That was the day when I tried to load the thread and i failed to load the secondry thread and when I pulled on the stitching it came out and I had figured out why they have to load secondry thread.
I am so glad you did this video because I have always been wondering how they work. Next could you see how salt grinders work and how twisting grinds finer?
I have sewn since I was 5 years old (52 now) your video on the working on the sewing machine is totally awesome!! great job answered alot of my questions on its workings.

Nate, it's almost like weaving. The rotary shuttle moves in a circle and grabs the loop from the needle side and makes a full revolution with it. Then stich and repeat!

I've been sewing off and on since I was in my early teens. I can take apart just about every piece of a basic machine for basic repairs, service and, of course, oil it. I have known how to do this since I was a teenager. Seriously, my mother taught me about sewing machines before I even learned how to drive. It honestly never occurred to me to even think about exactly how it sews though. It was always just something I took as an unknowable given. Your model though explained it perfectly. I finally get it! Thank you. 😁
