How a sewing machine works
made my day
I didn’t know it had two reels! Obvious when you see it slowed down, but the best solutions are usually the ones people say are obvious after some one thinks of them!
Good Job……!
Cool. I want to see one for a serger. Couldn't find anything with a quick search.
Awesome indeed. One must wonder about the kind of mind that could invent such a thing.
+John Hummel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_machine has more on the invention; not surprisingly, it was an iterative development, with different means of poking the hole, different stitches, etc., all tried by various men over the course of many decades.
Thanks +Dave Hill. That kind of creativity is impressive even if it comes from a collaboration between multiple people.
Nobody has asked how the bobbin stays in place if the yellow string is able to go both in front of and behind it. The answer isn't magic, but they just kind of "left if off" the picture.
Mesmerizing……………..O_O
