3. Types of Sewing Machines
Each machine makes a basic running stitch the same way, with two sources of thread. The
top needle takes the thread down into the fabric. It is caught and looped via the bobbin
apparatus and then pulled back up. The "feed dog" (a rough edged surface underneath the
fabric) moves it along and the next stitch begins. Everything else is different.
Mechanical Sewing Machines :
A mechanical sewing machine is controlled by a rotary wheel. Any adjustment like the
tension or the length or width of the stitch is made by moving a dial. These machines are
very basic and tend to be less expensive than the other sewing machines.
Electronic Sewing Machines :
An electronic machine differs in that there are some functions that can be accomplished
by pushing a button. A machine can have a number of motors for various duties and they
are run via electricity.
Computerized Sewing Machines :
As sewing machines became more complex, more of these motors were added. A
computer then coordinates all these functions. Think about a repetitive sequence of
stitches being programmed, so you no longer have to replicate these movements over and
over again. Nice!
