    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.

      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.

    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.

  • @cherigreen4471
    @cherigreen4471 Год назад

    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! 😱🤣😂

    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.)

    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.

      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.
