An electric sewing machine does it's work by using electricity to move the needle up and down, and rotate the bobbin.

An electric sewing machine has an electric motor attached to these rotating parts, by belt or gearing and operated by a foot switch.

How To Choose the Right Sewing Machine for Your Needs?

Choosing a sewing machine would seem to be a simple task. For most, all that is needed is a basic machine which will sew straight lines and do button holes. Yet, there are many different options available on sewing machines so before heading out the door to buy one, you will need to know what your sewing machine is to be used for. If you only undertake a sewing project when you have no choice, you may opt to go with a mechanical sewing machine. If sewing is your favorite hobby, then an electronic sewing machine may be more to your liking. When you have chosen to make this task your life work, a computerized model may be your best option. All machines make the standard running stitch using two different sources of thread. While the upper needle takes the thread in a downward motion into the fabric, the bottom thread catches this thread and loops it back up by use of a bobbin. A “feed dog” is what moves the fabric along to begin the next stitch. With a mechanical machine, this process will be controlled by a rotary wheel. In order to make adjustments to your stitches, you will need to turn a dial. This is a very basic machine and tends to be inexpensive. An electronic sewing machine is different in that you can control many functions just by pushing a button. When you use a model of this sort, you will be utilizing a number of motors which have different duties. Electricity is required for this model and they do tend to be more expensive than their mechanical counterparts. For extensive sewing work, your best bet is a computerized sewing machine. This model uses numerous motors to control all functions. A computer is installed to coordinate these tasks and make your job easier. If you often repeat the same stitches over and over again, this is the model for you. It will handle repetitive tasks with ease and your job will be much simpler as a result. Keep this in mind when shopping so you get the perfect machine for the work you will be completing.
