2:37 sewing isnt even really a human thing as there is a bird which sews leaves together to create shelter

That hand built giant stitch machine was awesome! I bought a 1961 Singer 500a several years ago to do some upholstery work. Being a mechanical engineer I sought the most complicated machine ever built. As I cleaned it I became fascinated with the thing as a piece of industrial art. It has a stack of overhead cams for doing 300 different stitch variations. I even have the complete attachments set. Power is gear driven. No wimpy belts on this rig. Sewing machines are surprisingly cheap too, like engineers. Go buy one!

I started my working career as an apprentice clothing machine engineer, if you can rebuild from the castings a Reece 101 button hole machine you can rebuild any mechanical device.

I'm just learning how to use a sewing machine for the first time, and now I'm even more in awe of how my little Singer does its job so well. Thanks for your great visual explanations.

So I am to understand that every man, woman, and child in the US throws away 77 pounds of clothing every single year? How could somebody encounter a figure like that and think it's responsible to distribute it as true?

Just a small but meaningful point: virtually every garment you wear was made by a *person* who used a sewing machine to make it, not made by a sewing machine. Let's not lose sight of that. Especially with cheap fast fashion and the moral implications of it.

Like how such an exciting innovating race of genius and cunning by smart men began and continued for a long time….for sewing.
Borderline whimsical in my mind yet world owes a lot to these men
@davespark10 Says:
Oh so you know how old a needle in a cave is?
50,000 yrs ? and even have a cute drawing 😂 ... So stupid.

Singer also made 1911 45cal. Handguns for WW2

The sewing machine and the clock revolutionized the world. Both have intricate mechanism

I , for years , repaired the typewriters for a large commercial sewing machine repair company in Seattle as one of my typewriter repair company customers . At one point I was having trouble getting my wife’s sewing machine ( I borrowed it to sew heavyweight materials ) to work properly , so I suggested we “ exchange labor “ for one of the repair visits. It did not go well , the advanced commercial equipment they worked on was not a bit similar to the regular sewing machine my wife owned . I now have my own crudely made but amazing , low priced , heavy duty , Chinese hand crank sewing machine . All different sewing machines are impressive , and have their specialized uses . She is not interested in mine and I now leave hers alone .

This is a good example on how an automated process is often very different than how it was done by hand. The best method isn't easy to identify, a good application for AI.

This video is so freaking good, I can’t even! Thank you for making it! 👏👏
@LeBonkJordan Says:
Sewing machines themselves are not to blame for the overproduction and waste of all those extra tons of clothes. As the Luddites observed, the problem is not what the machine does, but *who* the machine does it *for,* and who it does it *to.*
The reason all those clothes get thrown away instead of being actually used is because if people got those extra clothes, they wouldnt need to buy more clothes, which would lower demand, and therefore price. So, because production in our society is designed to maximize profit rather than utility, the economy is actually often organized around intentionally _not_ providing people what they need.

@dremaro2967 Says:
Woaw ok but there is still something that I can't understand how its done, it's fesable but without magnets I can't understand how.
With the lock stitch what you say is that you have to get the second thread (red) to go into the first one (yellow). So you need the entire pool to go through the yellow loop... From what I imagine that means the pool have to somehow levitate to pass through the yellow loop and so does the mechanism that rotates to grab the yellow thread. If it is true that the rotating mechanism grabs the yellow cable then it cannot be held by an axis as the yellow thread loop would inevitably end up around the axis...
Do anyone else see the problem I'm pointing ? That's why at 12:10 I was surprised the video hide this problem. Here you can see the blue loop entirely wrapping the rotating part but without cutting the axis enabling the rotating part to rotate...
I mean of course there is a solution since it actually works... but I'm really surprised that no attention is placed on it.
What's going on guys ??? I want to understand !

Been sewing my entire life. Thanks for explaining what goes on in the machine while i am sewing

I am geeking out so bad over this video. I've always wanted to know the mechanics. And to have thrown in history as well.. you made my night! So much dopamine 😃 Thank you!!

This was fascinating. Well done to whoever made this video. I appreciate the effort that you have put into it. A brilliant and very informative teaching and learning aid.

I was just trying to repair a malfunctioning sewing machine this week (did not succeed). I wish I had seen this video before my attempt! 🙂

Amazing video. Perfect Didatics!
@dave0smeg Says:
We had a fairly modern machine from Dunelm. Must have had about 25 hours of use in total. Taken apart and greased up once after sitting for over 5 years. Always missed the occasional stitch from new, but started bunching up and snagging the threads more and more frequently. Managed to adjust the timing so it wasn't missing as many stitches but instead would snap the threads after just a few inches.
Probably done for cheapness, but I don't think it should have had plastic gears or structural parts.
Ended up chucking it at the local tip.
@wildflower1397 Says:
I finally understand how my machine works, why the bobbin gets tangled, why tension is so important, and that it's actually not sorcery, lol. This is absolutely fascinating. How it works is crystal clear, the history is relevant and interesting, and the presentation is flawless. Excellent video!

@adrianavalerio7155 Says:
I'm a physicist and I love sewing. I always wanted to properly understand the mechanical mecanism behind a sewing machine. Sometimes when I spent time triying to figure it out I was constantly caught by the thought that that was not so important, that I have a lot of data to analyze and keep my mind occupied with the important experiments of my work. Turns out this video showed me that the development a complex mecanism longed the lives of many people.

i really love this episode

10:44 sewing machines were built before the idea of planned obsolescence...😢
@tommyibex2626 Says:
i bought a used industrial sewing machine from ebay and dismantled and rebuilt it to find out how it works and refurbish it. Once rebuilt i learned to use it and have made a few bags already, and almost finished a pair of 14oz canvas dungarees. Im done with buying cheap chinese made clothing now. All i need is undies and socks and the rest ill make, or learn to make. The pride in DIYing it is worth everything.

This video is fantastic !

In the end you can get it done before the information I have the information from you and your family hahahahahaha I'm going to be late but will have the most likely reason to run out to do some work and I want that color name is hipedolius brow now and then I'll get it done before the rules
@BillSmith-fx7xx Says:
My mother was a wizard on her sewing machine. Even the wrong style of needle (not size, the style) can be effected depending on the fabric !
@BillSmith-fx7xx Says:
Male ignorance of the sewing machine is a blessing ! If you learn how it works your mother/wife will expect you to repair your own clothing.
@biggiganticbones Says:
Just some info, some American dog food sacks use the first lockstitch. They used the stitch's weakness (as in pros and cons) for easy-open sacks

I've have always been in Awe and Amazed at what my sewing machine does and I've always wondered
how it does what it does. Wonderful video that really Explains Things. Love the model and the animations.
@mofatjippyfransisco713 Says:
Really surprised they work as well as they do, always wondered how they did it...but never actually looked...this was a really good video 👍
@TenthCrane2788 Says:
9 million people were interested and discover how a sewing machine works.
Including me.

this answers a question i've had since I was at least 8 yrs old which has created a minor existential crises for me...if that question has been answered, what will become of the rest of my life?
