Best Answer

Your feet on the pedal and your hand on the wheel. Everything on a treadle is manual. Some people put one foot on the back and one foot on the front of the treadle pedal when they are making the machine work. Treadle sewing takes a lot of practice! The pedal is attached to the sewing machine with a leather belt wrapped around a large wheel that is then wrapped around the wheel on the sewing machine.

What is the difference between manual sewing machine and an electric sewing machine?

An electric sewing machine does it's work by using electricity to move the needle up and down, and rotate the bobbin. The mechanical parts of a manual sewing machine, had to be set in motion by turning a handle, or pedal. An electric sewing machine has an electric motor attached to these rotating parts, by belt or gearing and operated by a foot switch. This makes it less tiring on the arms or feet, you can keep sewing faster and longer.

Why does a tailor use a sewing machine to stitch clothes?

A tailor may use a sewing machine for a few reasons. It saves time, as a sewing machine sews much more quickly than hand sewing. Also, a sewing machine makes interlocking stitches, making the stitch tighter and more durable. Lastly, a sewing machine offers more options for sewing - stitch length, width, zig-zags, etc. - that either can't be done by hand, or would be very difficult to do.
