I wish there was one for overlock and coverstitch machines too, those loopers are witchcraft

Y'know what? I'm a seamstress and didn't realize that's how the magic happens down there.

Very old those had a kinda bullet shaped horizontally moving shuttle. My grannys 1890s model for Ex.

How do you even come up with this
thedogemperorofmankind

DeezKnutz
Oddly satisfying.

Funny, Everytime I tried it, the machine just made a giant mess of thread and bunched up fabric

Tension is the magic word :)
variousvegetables
hm. so that's how it works.

I saw this a million times in FP.... fucking reposts

How is the hook mounted if the thread goes all the way around it? It's not floating in the air... Is it?
CommentsWithGandalf
It's a shuttlecock, Harry
RichterCa
Gif is wrong. The thread stays on one side of the hook-thing, only goes completely around the bobbin, which floats free.
CommentsWithGandalf
I'm confused I don't see a finger or blood anywhere in this representation

I can finally rest knowing the magic behind sewing machines

I do not have the brain to even begin to invent things like this.

"Sew that's how it works" would have been more appropriate title

I guess we'll just have to wait for the repost
LivingDecomposition
Don't worry, it'll be reposted, again, with that soon enough.
bzort
Oh I see what you did there...
JonnyLJones
Technically, "Sew, that's how it works." would have been a more appropriate title.

You are a genius

I never knew there was so much monkey motion going on under there. Thanks.

Sewing machines are obscenely complicated mechanical devices. Length adjustments, multiple stitch types, automatic buttonholes, etc.

Can anybody explain where the metal ball is attached to? The string completely goes around...
LieselSkywalker
Yes please, now I'm confused.

Mine is in a small hole with a cover, it can spin freely inside
Beelsebooob
On mine, the shuttle hook is held in place only by a magnet. The thread can slide between it and the magnet.
WholesomeSeamstress
Inside the metal ball is a small spool of thread called a bobbin that feeds the thread out that hole. And behind the metal ball is a metal
TheMayorOfTittyCity
Even looking at mine I cant figure out how the string goes completely underneath it. How is that thing held in there??
WholesomeSeamstress
Stick that it's balanced on. So hard to describe, hold on llet me take a photo...
WholesomeSeamstress
Ugh, better off just googling "bobbin" or "sewing machine bobbin"
