Learning to use a sewing machine is mainly learning to thread it. After that it's following the line and learning control. The job is "sewing machine operator" after all. The actual magic of making things with a sewing machine all happens at the cutting table. People in the business call their workplace a cut/sew shop. (I have a cut/sew shop making marine canvas and upholstery.)
TIL... Thanks for the info. And for the video! Definitely going to watch it later.
I once restored an old knitting machine, cast iron and stuff. That's even more of a marvel to me. How the machine plays with the tension of the yarn, just crazy.
such a great channel. discovered it with the knot video but he has so many interesting things to learn about.
and what a cool hobby/skill/profession to have these days.
