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
How much is an 1878 Singer sewing machine worth?
Vintage sewing machines are valued much like vintage automobiles. Just saying you have a 1871 Singer sewing machine is not enough to establish the value. Several other factors must be considered: - Condition: Is it a rusty hulk, or shiny, showroom shape? - Model: Each manufacturer made several machines for different pocketbooks, just as with autos, the luxury models usually retain their value better than the utility models. - Configuration: Is your old machine mounted in a treadle base, or was it converted to electrical operation and moved to a portable carrying case? Often, the treadle cabinet is worth more than the machine itself! - Accessories: Does the machine have its instruction manual and full complement of accessories that came with it? Are there any additional accessories that were purchased later? Then there are other issues that can affect the selling price of a vintage sewing machine: - Location: If you live in an upscale U.S. neighborhood, probably very few buyers will be interested in an average condition old sewing machine. If you live in an area with a large number of lower income families, they might want an old, reliable sewing machine to actually sew on. - Furniture value: If your machine is in a nice wood cabinet, some may be interested in it purely for its decorative value. Others will shy away because they don't have room for a cabinet or it does not match their décor. Some buyers will only want a portable model they can stash away in a closet when not in use. - Shipping: If you are only willing to sell locally, your market will be limited. If your machine is small enough to ship, listing it on Ebay might bring a quicker sale and higher price. Speaking of Ebay, that is probably the best place to research prices for old sewing machines. Look for machines of the same model and age, in the same condition. Note the accessories that come with it and see how closely your item matches the Ebay item.
Do all sewing machines use the same needles for their operations?
No, sewing machines do not all use the same needles for their operations. Different types of sewing machines require different types and sizes of needles to properly sew different fabrics and achieve different results.

My grandmother offered to give me her old sewing machine that she has had for 30 years, she says it works fine, but are there any features that the newer models have that would impact the quality of my sewing?
Sewing machines are generally the same,it is best to start with an older machine to lean the basics.
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.
