II – INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Sewing machine is a machine which has mechanically driven
needle that is used to stitch materials together with thread. It is
designed to join pieces of fabric or materials by means of either a
lockstitch or a chain stitch. There are two main uses for a sewing
machine. One is to make or repair clothes by attaching fabric with
thread, and the other one is to lessen the time allotted for accomplishing
a sewing task.
Well-selected sewing machine is essential for achieving good
results. It should be used correctly in accordance with the job
requirements.
