how a sewing machine works

I've been explaining how a sewing machine works for years but have never had a visual for it. I just came across this great one (via Swiss Miss via Dossier).

Those fabric selection principles are coming! We'll be back shortly with the remaining few--just need to get through Quilt Market first. I'm glad you're interested.

Wow! That's amazing. I have been sewing for at least 20 years and I never had a clue about how the thing worked. It was just magic to me!

This is a 'ta da' moment - thank you for finding this visual aid. I never could quite figure out how these magic machines worked.

I'm such a visual person that even though I know how a sewing machine works this just makes it crystal clear! Thanks for sharing!!

I love this....I wanted to borrow it but I can't find a place to ask the folks at Swiss Miss for their permission. Do you know if they mind if we borrow it to show on our blogs? Perhaps you know them personally...?

Kelly, the one who saved you from the name badge fright at Quilt Market....LOL
