Sewing is a very popular craft almost completely universally used. Its origin dates as far back as the beginning of tools; and the craft is mostly used to make clothing or home furnishings today. There are several different methods and stitches involved with sewing that all serve a unique purpose, depending on what is being made. In recent centuries the advent of the sewing machine has made the process much easier and faster, and has allowed garment makers to make a superior product in almost half the time. Today most of the sewing that is done by hand is for repairing damaged garments or finishing those started by machines.
This series will teach you the basics of sewing machine operation. Our expert will identify the parts of the sewing machine for you, as well as explain some of the general functions and abilities of the machine. Tips include how to thread a sewing machine, winding and installing the bobbin, selecting the proper foot, and turning the fabric.
"On behalf of expertvillage.com, I am Neal Jones with A Perfect Fit Alterations, 102 Main Street Burleson, Texas, our phone number is 817-447-3522. Today we’re here to talk about sewing machine. In front of me I have a typical sewing machine, it is a machine that will do a lot of different stitches in the front. And we have some equipment here, we have a small screw driver for servicing the machine, we have a brush for brushing out lint, we have various needle, we have threads and threads come in different sizes and different configurations and I’m going to show you how all those fit in the machine. We have a bobbin which goes into the machine, an intracle part of the machine we have a foot control which goes on the floor when we start working with it and we have a combination cord foot control power cord. We also have some test material, the test material is going to be 3 different grades, we have a fairly thin material here, a medium one and then a fairly heavy denim and then to finish up this batch we have a small pair of scissors.
