Can you sew two pieces of fleece together with a sewing machine?
Of course! Any basic sewing machine should be able to sew two pieces of fleece together. Just be sure you are using the right kind of needle (metric size 70-80, imperial size 10-11) and some nice 100% cotton thread, to avoid getting the machine jammed up. It also helps sometimes to decrease the presser foot pressure to 3. (4 is normal)
Why would a sewing machine fail to pick up the bobbin thread?
1. Unwind about 3 or 4 inches of thread from the bobbin. Insert wound bobbin into bobbin case. 2. Pull trailing thread into the slot of case. 3. Pull thread to the left under the tension spring until thread enters into delivery eye. 4. Holding bobbin case latch with the metal finer of case pointing up, fit it into the notch at the top of the shuttle race. 5. Release latch and push case back making sure the case is in the proper position. Close slide plate. Note: The thread drawn out of the case is to be left hanging below the race. Leave about 5-6 inches of thread hanging. If this doesn't fix your problem, your machine (made by Brother) may need tuning because the needle isn't in the proper position as the hook comes around to catch the bobbin thread. A repairman that can fix a Brother, Kenmore or Singer will be familiar with this machine.

What are the different types of stitches used in sewing machines?
To answer your question with the annoying word "depends" is an understatement. All kinds of sewing machines do an amazing array of things, and some, like mine, are like the original. In the beginning, sewing machines made only one kind of stitch. This is called the running stitch, or straight stitch, because the stitches run in one direction, one stitch in front of another. For a detailed description of how this basic stitch works, see "www.Howstuffworks.com/sewing-machine". All machine stitches are based on the same formula, but the variety of stitches now available on the most sophisticated of machines are made possible by the "feed dog". That is the little teeth that move the fabric around, and the movable (zig-zag) needle, which can stitch in a side to side motion. Some of the newer machines come with a set of "cams" that are put into the machines which control the pattern. Now, you can even purchase machines that can be programmed by means of an internal computer to provide actual pictures stitched onto your fabric. For more information, including a history of sewing machines, see the excellent Wikipedia article, wikipedia.org.wiki/Sewing_machine
