- This is what I call production quality, people! Here is an awesome old show where Tim Hunkin explains the history and mechanics of the sewing machine. At one point, Tim demonstrates the main princples of the machine by making a huge human sewing machine. I highly recommend this for beginners sewists especially but also to anybody who loves machines and/or sewing!
Also, this video is blocked in Germany. Sorry about that.
A novice sewer here, barring some introductory home economic classes in the early 80's. After having acquired a 1955 Singer 99 recently I've become obsessed with it all again. Such a simple machine, built to last a lifetime. A mere 66 years old and she's still going strong and making perfect stiches. This was a great video to watch!
wow ! this is a truly "cool" show with TRULY "cool" folks in it. I am glad I watched. Its not only very interesting and educational.. but also soothing. Its nice to be reminded of the goodness and amazing ingenuity of humans.
I'm just getting into sewing. I must admit the 'machine' element plays quite a large part. I'm fascinated by them. I also love the older concept of 'over engineering' which gives machines a solid and reliable feel and they sound great too. Thank you very much for posting this video; any more please?
Dec 2015 - I sat and thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. It is good to see someone actually show how sewing machines work. Have used one for many years and not really appreciated the engineering skill that goes into their design and production. Mine after more than half a century has been playing up a bit but I persevere to sort it out.
Believe it or not love to hear mechanical sewing machines not making a great deal of noise. It is all down to precision engineering.
The human sewing machine guys bring a whole new meaning to "walking foot".
I loved this show as a kid. Just awesome.
Tim that was a really enjoyable video, most interesting and very entertaining about sewing machines.
Very entertaining and informative! Thanks for a good job. I am a seamstress. I find the ones more than 50 years old work the smoothest, quietest, and most reliably. Most sewers did not pay attention to oiling their machines as required, so many of the older models just rusted away. I still do not trust that you do not have to oil the new machines, seems unnatural.
This is an excellent piece of filming and an interesting insight, thank you for sharing!
thank you for sharing some history about machines. I learned a lot an thank you for posting and every sewer should see this.. good knowledges about the stitches, that brought the stitch to light..
You did your homework on this piece....excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Thank you so much for sharing this video, i found it very interesting, nostalgic, and sweet and I was hooked straightaway, the mechanical doctor at 20.36 was a bit of a shock and then it made me laugh...makes you wonder how we ever got to where we are today..lol..I didn't realise how simple a basic sewing machine is and I loved seeing the old working machine the lady showed us. I also wonder if any of the people that were in it and produced it are still alive today...Ann
What a gem, thank you for sharing.
This show is really informative! its even worth listening to the ear piercing screech of styrofoam
Brilliant! I've always wondered how we got a stitch out of a one sided needle. Very very interesting video thank you
Very nicely done. Thank you
Very good video! Thank you for making and sharing this with us : )
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Great video!! thanks for posting.
when was filmed this? 70s? 80s?... as debbie said, this is excellent piece of filming.
Had to do this for homework....
+Ali Rasheed You should thank your teacher.
Great episode! But you may want to make the title reflect the actual series name.
Very interesting! And he reminds me of someone...cross between Graeme Garden and James Burke? Must visit the Science Museum and look out for those automatons, they are fab!
Seeing those handcranks in the trash is such a waste! They are in demand here. Sigh.
For mankind the needle and thread is as big as the axel and wheel! Nobody when around riding on their horse draw wagon naked!
Educational

This needs to be redone with better animation.
