kgg Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 (edited) I came across a youtube video which I think should be a must view for anyone that uses a sewing machine, domestic or industrial. It helps eliminate the black magic of how stitches (chain-stitch and lock stitch) are formed with a history of the development of sewing machines in very simple terms. Ever wonder why the long grove is on needles?? kgg Edited November 27 by kgg mest speeled wrong in title should be must Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

AlZilla Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 That one is already saved for me. It amazes me how many people use sewing machines yet have no idea how they work.

Members DocReaper Posted November 28 Members Report Posted November 28 I really enjoyed this video, the person that made this video had to go thru and dig up most of this history. The models made for the presentation took some time as well, hats off to the maker of this awesome video! Quote Doc Reaper
