Drawbacks?? Hmmmm...... most people would say that the biggest drawbacks would be the lack of different patterns (zig-zag, scalloped, etc...) and the time used to thread the machine. The new machines offer a plethora of varied stitching patterns, and most are almost "self-threading". HOWEVER, the new machines are built from plastic and nylon. This allows the gears to slip and pop, but not break. So, the machine will look "normal" when viewed, but not be working properly, because the gears are not aligned correctly! The first machines were made by craftsmen, and designed, literally, to last for a hundred years! More and more, people are buying the old machines to USE, not to collect, because the gears, motor, etc. were heavy-duty, and virtually indestructible, and did not require the constant up-keep of some of the new machines! I use a Kenmore model 117.141, built around 1930, that runs as good as when it was new.
They are not as fun as doing it yourself. You have a bigger risk of getting hurt than you do if you do it yourself. Another bad thing about sewing machines is they cost more than if you were tonot use the sewing machine!
A few small hazards can occur when using a sewing machine:
They are just so darn expensive that a lot of people cannot purchase them.
Keeping your fingers clear of the needle when guiding fabric through the feed.
Other than that, there are not too many other "dangers" in using a sewing machine
theory of sewing machine
Not all sewing machines are compound machines. The definition of a compound machine is one the contains more than one machine within the same case. A machine that is not only a sewing machine but also an embroidery machine would be considered a compound sewing machine. A really good compound sewing machine is the Husqvarna Diamond sewing machine.

If by "olden days" you're referring to prior to 1846 (when the sewing machine was invented), there was no sewing machine. All sewing was done by hand.
The difference between an electric sewing machine and a manual sewing machine is only the method of propulsion. The electric machine uses an electric motor, while the manual machine uses a hand crank or foot pump to power it. The actual sewing machine is the same.
well it depends on what sort of sewing machine it is it should say on the packaging of the sewing machine.
