I like how the diagram of the sewing machine has 2 seconds of screen time
And dont explain how the thread pass around the axle of the spool.
@@GVALNIER 3:39
🤣🤣🤣
when the teacher is just power through everything written in the book and doesn't care if anyone knows what the hell is he talking about
They know you can pause the video
The title should be " History of sewing machine "
Yes, title is wrong. Frustratingly little time is spent on how the machine works, and the music in the background is distracting.
Totally agreed. Not that this video was bad, but I was here for the mechanism. Its only shown for a few frames at 3:39. This other video is much better: ruclips.net/video/rUSecXVt-jU/видео.html
Professor Syndrome: When a professor has long since mastered understanding of a theorem, and has forgotten which points key to understanding it were hard to understand. Then in lectures, partially or completely leaving out those points. Then can't fathom why the students aren't getting it.
"How Sewing Machines Work" is part Professor Syndrome, and partly video editors that don't know and/or don't care whether the video matches what the narration is describing.
2:52 Audio: "a bobbin mechanism"
Video: Shows a shot of the top side of an antique sewing machine, without making clear which part is the 'bobbin mechanism" or pointing out modern sewing machines have the 'bobbin mechanism' below the plane of the fabric, or even what a 'bobbin' is. Apparently the producer/editor valued run-time of a cute antique sewing machine, over clearly showing what the narrator was referring to
3:10 "That allows the needle to push the thread in and out of the fabric, without having to go through itself"
"Go through itself" sounded to me, like a description of a needle passing through part of its own body.
Sure, if you know how hand sewing works, you might figure out that what he meant was:
"That allows the machine needle to pass only its tip in and out of the fabric, rather than the needle going all the way through the fabric to the other side, as with hand sewing needles."
3:30 Audio: "Together, the upper and lower threads form a knot that tightens as the needle completes..."
Video: Above-fabric plane view of full speed sewing of an X-pattern.
No view of the below-fabric-plane bobbin action being described.
No view of the two separate threads knotting.
I finally figured out roughly what they were trying to say, after multiple iterations of pausing-thinking-rewatching. This could have been possible in one watching with:
* Much slower motion views of the sewing action--especially at 3:25 'bobbin catches on a second, lower..." and 3:37
* clearly marked sewing machine parts
* video matching the narration
* mitigating Professor syndrome
If Interesting Engineering's business model depended on creating videos that efficiently impart understanding of engineering concepts, then judging from this video, they would have quickly gone bankrupt. Apparently instead, History Channel-like storytelling and soothing, vacuous narration and music beds drive sufficient ad revenue.
did you just write an essay on this video presentation?
@@aayush_789 and they seem to have nailed it
@@aayush_789 🤣🤣🤣 thank you.
@@giggabiite4417 the thing is, if someone can write all that but have a hard time understanding the machine, then Engineering is simply not for them. It's called "Interesting Engineering". Too much complaining going on up there in the comment
I totally agree with your concerns. I initially thought of showing this video to my class of beginning sewers but I think it would leave more questions then answers, such as the part that speaks of replicating the basic hand stitch but the video shows someone knitting instead of hand sewing! The knitting has no place in this video and would just confuse a child learning how a machine works.
2:06 into a 5:05 video titled "How does a sewing machine work?" and still no explanation of how a sewing machine works?
Turns into "the history of sewing machines" that NO one asked for
Turns out, the title wasn't a rhetorical question. The narrator legitimately wants to know how sewing machines work and this video is a cry for help
LMAO!
🤣🤣🤣
"The easiest stitch to learn is the running stitch!" /over 4 different shots of knitting and crochet XDDD
Yeah, not the most helpful footage there 😂
and the actual hand-sewing they show are back stitches, not running stitches!
Oh no
Hahah
tbh i feel like its just a script read over a bunch of random stock footage for "sewing"
I just wanted to know how it works not an entire textbook of the history of the sewing machine
I still don't know how it's done 🤤
Tiny elves 🧝♂️
🤤
why did you use that emoji
But that emoji tho😂
Go to 3:25 and slow the video as much as possible. The rest of the video is not really relevant.
3:28 to 3:29 - this is what you are looking for - amazing video... cutting away from the most interesting part
I was hoping to learn... more
K, but how does a sewing machine work?
Ohhhhhhh, there's a second thread underneath... okay, that's why my brain was struggling to visualize how a sewing machine works. I've only sewn by hand, so I was really perplexed how on Earth a single needle and thread just bobbing up and down could possibly make a stitch, as the needle and thread must leave through the same hole which they entered. Wow, that really was a genius solution.
This touched briefly on how the thread goes threw the material but spent the rest like a history lesson on who invented what.
Not to mention - there's many other things that are sewed other than clothes. The mechanism of a sewing machinge is generally genius though!
I haven't ever thought about how many stitches on my clothes!
Oh, the bobbin is floating in the air! Now I understand how it works, although it took 5 mins to explain. Thanks.
Not sure why they show someone knitting instead of doing hand sewing for this video…that part does not make sense. Had to warn students about that one before I showed it to them. Also had to warn students about the fact that sewer was pushing fabric through machine…also a no-no. This is what they refer to as “noise” in a video and needs to be dealt with before a video is shown which is why any good teacher previews the video first. Other than that, it a fairly good video to introduce the importance of this invention. Best shown with a more detailed graphic video on the how the bobbin mechanism actually works. Love the fact that they show a treadle…I learned to sew on one of those. There is a glimpse of a hand-crank model. And we either see a Singer 128 or 127 in the video as well. (Can’t tell which without measuring the base. 127 was a 3/4 scale model of the 128.)
The narrator reminds me of the newscaster on Arrested Development and the plinky ukulele music in the background only reinforces that impression!
You missed the most important part in your explanation... Is that bobbin flying in mid air? How can that full swing happen!!!
I have sewing for years. I knew how to it worked, but liked the graphic and yes they should have left it up longer. The main concept is the top needle pierces the top of the fabric and the bobbin on the bottom creates a loop for the top thread to catch and creates a knot or what is known as a stitch. It is wonderful invention. Of course anyone that sews knows when this action misaligns you can have a big mess of knotted thread! 😱🤣😂
thanks man im high tryna figure this out and now my frustrations are at ease :)
Two threads! One on top the other on the bottom! So thats it, almost 50 and just learned this. Lol 😆
I handstitched a torn pocket on a pair of blue jeans today and that was about a buck fifty and took 15-20 minutes.
Talks about sewing
Shows footage of knitting
3:25 - 3:45
Twenty seconds tells me everything I needed to know. Lol
I'm not sleeping on the couch tonight
Excellent video on the history of sewing machines
I just wanted to know how a sewing machine works not the entire history of sewing machines
Thank you, this has been keeping me up at night
I still don’t understand how it works after watching this. Bad youtube!
chose this 5min long video thinking sewing machines mechanism would be explained clearer with more details. all I learnt was the history if making it.
I have a deadly fear of getting my finger pinched under the needle
That factory burning story was really labors in a nutshell even in today's society.
I wanted to see the inner workings of the machine. Misleading title.
the average american wardrobe is 100 items??? wtf i have like 20 items of clothing
The treadle is much like the gas pedal on a car!That would be some car
Α "little tikes' car!
Tbh I'm sad to not figured it out on my own despite trying to ponder upon. It's really simple.
was useful.. thanks
3:24 it the animation. If you want to skip the history of sewing machines
3:36 -0,25x is the right mechanism. The other one they used as explanation is kinda non-realistc
Amazing video.
Nice effort, but the most important thing - how the shuttlecock works, you show for 1.5 seconds. Otherwise OK I guess
Does anyone know when the video REALLY starts?
Although it is blink-and-you'll-miss-it, the explanation is here around 3:24
Now I know that my sewing machine really is broken
*4:54** Isn't that JHope's Dior outfit?*
?
Thanks
Thank you
WTF are these last two outfits at the end?!?! 😱
The robot space elephant stole the show. :)
I thought you might find this history of interest ... From the book … Mind Power … author … John Kehoe
Intuition
Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine, labored for years over its design, yet always remained one small detail from his goal. One night he dreamt he had been captured by savages who were pointing strange spears at him, and he notice that at the tip of each spear was a hole. Howe awoke from his dream with the solution: put the hole at the tip of the needle! That simple change was the key that unlocked the invention of the sewing machine.
Thanks man. I'm thrilled to read the book.
@@randomdosing7535 You are welcome.
Whether or not the stories in that book are all true ... is a matter of opinion, as people that are convinced that they are "spiritual," and that they receive their messages from a spirit realm ... often make up tales to impress others ... and try to lead them "down" the same path of thought.
Been there ... did that.
Now, I believe that all happenings are "natural," once we are "able" to understand how everything occurs.
this resource is precious, thanks to you, video maker.
Title of the video says how does a sewing machine work not the history of sewing machine
3:25
Is this Perd Hapley?!?!
think you
Great!
video starts at :37
Video starts at 2:40
OMG. 3d robot hand sewing machine
awesome
4:56 WTF was that?
nice!
NO...textile workers aren't being replaced. The jobs, however, were first outsourced to the Nonunion American South, and then the Third World. Your garment probably comes from workers in Bangladesh or Indonesia-living in Abject Poverty.
Amazing!! But without a best needles even best machine can't stitch.

3:72
And here I thought the needle would go all the way down making a new hole going up🥴 why em I this slow
Nice
Uh, what does knitting and crocheting have to do with sewing???
So that said nothing about how a sewing machine works.
@0:06 What's so funny?
Stitch sew cut and pull
Now i know...
...now i know.
Answer begins at 2:50, lol
WHY IS THEIR EXAMPLE OF HANDSEWING JUST KNITTING?? 🤦
Just f*cking get to it
So....hard >
KEEP IT UP..
YOU WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL RUclipsR ONE DAY....
GOOD EFFORTS.
Don't watch this shit if you want to know how the mechanism works. It's a history lesson noone asked for
This did nothing for me😩
Seewwwwwwwww, did anyone learn anything?
This is what you're looking for:
ruclips.net/user/shortsXpsqm1jekHg?feature=share
I came her to se 03:31. when I search how dose a sawing machin work, I just want to see those 1.2s. But if I want to seee the history of sawing machines, Great video!
²
Does not explain how the machine works. Only tells the history.
Disappointing. Just gives a capsule history of the sewing machine. The graphic showing how the sewing process works--a good graphic, I admit--zooms by in a couple of seconds and it's off to more fluff. Plus the narrator has an obnoxious, smarmy voice.
The info on this video is largely false lol
Bad explanation, lots of talkie talk though
You could've titled the video How does a sewing machine work with some of the most useless information about them.
Look at what singer has become for shame
Thanks be to God always! For God so truly loves all! Amen!
the answer is in the graphic at 3:30, but only for a second. Oy! what a terrible video.
Please, get to the point.
Well that answers my question. I wanted to know if I could replicate the action of a sewing machine by hand to speed up patchwork on my clothing, but I do not think it's feasible now.
This video didn't explain anything...
get to the point!
Worst demonstration ever of working of a machine
Wow, this video is horrible.
This is why we still need the DISLIKE button. This was a waste of time
Yeah this would be ok if they changed the title I guess
Pathetic explanation, just read the initial patent. Does this guy even know how a machine works?
