What is the difference between the current sewing machine and the old sewing machine?
A serger (overlock) sewing machine uses up to four threads and has a special trimming blade. It is designed for one main job: it sews, trims and overcasts the seam at the same time. Its function is specialized, but it can really speed up sewing and gives the finished item a professional look. A serger is a great machine for sewing stretch fabrics. A home sewing machine is designed to do a wider variety of tasks. It will generally have more stitches, plus presser feet and attachments to sew zippers, buttonholes, do machine quilting, etc. There is usually an overlock stitch on a home sewing machine, but you can't sew the seam, overlock and trim all in one pass. Lots of sewers have one (or more!) of each.
What is the age permition to use a sewing machine?
An electric sewing machine requires good eye and hand coordination. The speed of the machine is controlled by a food pedal. The user of the machine must be tall enough to sit comfortably in front of the machine and have their feet on the ground to control the foot pedal. By approximately fourth or fifth grade, most children have the physical coordination to use a sewing machine, and are old enough to recognize that the sharp needle can harm them if their hands or fingers get too close to the needle. Children should use an electric sewing machine only while being supervised by an adult. A number of sewing machine manufacturers have designed sewing machines for very young children. Some of these are powered by a hand crank and some are electric. The manufacturers print the recommended age for users of the machine on the front of the machine's packaging.
What is the sewing speed on the Brother sewing machines?

How is machining different from hand sewing?
In hand sewing, there is one thread that goes back and forth in the fabric. This is a very slow process, because the stitches need to be very small in order to function at holding the garment together and getting through the 100 washings minimum that will be expected. Hand sewing was abandoned for garment construction for the most part as soon as the sewing machine came into use. In Machine sewing, two threads are used which interlock in the middle of the fabric. Seen in a cut away, they would appear to be a figure eight. Machine sewing is used for almost all applications, due to the speed and strength of the stitches. Possible exceptions are when an area is too small and awkward for the material to be completed by machine, such as sewing closed a stuffed animal, or for custom projects like suit jackets, in which the hand is much more effective at keeping threads from pulling and distorting the fabric by applying too much tension.
