this is one of my pervasive daydreaming thoughts and i’m really glad there’s a video to give me an answer. similarly thoughts that deserve, and have very interesting, answers: 1. how do tall buildings get water pressure? 2. how do any buildings get water pressure actually? 3. is there a resonant frequency that can make buildings fall down? if anyone sees this, reply with some other thoughts you’ve had like this

The wasfulness of clothing today is not the sewing machines fault but the trend of fast fashion brought by online sites like Temu that uses modern slavery in absolutley horrible working conditions to produce something you wear maybee one or 2 times and then just throw away! In contrast I want clothes that last long and become part of my personality over time and that, most importantly, are made in a humane way and not by slavery.

I think the invention of the sewing machine was one of those which - like the internal combustion engine a bit later in the 19th century and the assembly line in the 20th - changed the world forever, because it enabled the mass production of garments and the birth of the clothing industry ("rag trade"). We all (or almost all) wear clothes!

😂 You don't have to make handsewing be horrendous to make a sewing machine worthwhile. Handsewers put the needle through the fabric twice, so the needle comes out on the same side, making it faster, and easier to keep stitch length the same and in a straight line. Western Embroiderers, using a floor hoop, will put a hand either side of the fabric. Machines are just faster and easier to learn to a good standard.

Sowing machines helped me learn spanish! I once needed to use my mom's sowing machine, but her machine from mexico had a manual only in spanish. My spanish may not be that great, but I have seen my fair share of user manuals in general contracting and software engineering. As I was looking through it, I thought "finally, a spanish text that actually makes *sense*" Also helped me learn if-then statements and some words for electronics in spanish.

It's a little dishonest at the end. Clothing filling landfills can be full of the occassional holey shirt, old underwear and socks, etc, but the businesses and corporations who mass deposit because of defects or old clothing that didn't sell in stores and is now falling apart. The indication here is "Oh, look how wasteful *you* are" but the truth is a little different. And the people who watch your videos dig deeper than average. Not only that, but those who are picking up the skill of sewing are often trying to keep their clothing good longer, with less waste. A little less "lying with numbers" spin is better, especially after such a fantastic video.

I love those old machines. I collect them and use them all regularly. Fast fashion has been such a disaster for everyone—bad for the environment, bad for the sweat shop workers making pennies on the dollar, and bad for the people wearing them: synthetic fibers trap odor and bacteria, they don’t keep you warm/cool, they’re full of chemicals… the combination of fast fashion and planned obsolescence has been such a travesty.

BS science about the ‘non human’ using a needle. God created man. Evolution is a lie and you are propping up this lie. You cannot help yourselves. Can you? And ‘heroic women’. What patronising crap. That’s what YouTube meant when they called you up that time and told you that ‘you need to be more relevant’. What a grift it’s become. Just stick to the actual science.

This is one of the best learning videos I've seen on YouTube, and I subscribed. I learned from my mom how to use a sewing machine and also learned in Home Economics class (yeah, I'm a senior) how to use one. The history of it all was amazing. The names Isaac Singer and Elias Howe I recognized, but didn't know so many others had come before them. The history of its development makes me realize even more what a genius invention the sewing machine is! I think it's one of the most important inventions mankind has come up with. Your explanations and models were excellent. This was so well done!👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖💖👵💪

0:35 "Every piece of clothing you've ever put on virtually was made by a sewing machine" No. Every piece of clothing you've ever put on was made by a human. I know that's not the point of the video, but it's vital to always remember that. Especially in the age of fast fashion.

I only use old foot powered sewing and embroidery machines. I find they respond better to rythm changes. I use a regular Singer over 100yrs old and several types of chainstitch embroidery machines, Cornély Bonnaz. one was briefly shown in the video. I own several that do more intricate things than just chainstitch. Amazing machines. They take a lot of practice but once you get going they are great. and just made for curved designs.The Guy who showed the chainstitch machine is right. One produces a lot of noise. A whole room full of steam engined powered once must have been extremely loud. I guess about as loud as a large number of steam powered weaving looms.
