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.

What year was Kenmore sewing machine model 52 made?
We own a Kenmore Model 48 sewing machine which we purchased new from Sears in 1964. Hope this helps. ******************************************** September 30, 2009 My Grandma got her Kenmore 48 for her 20th wedding anniversary in 1961. The owners manual (I have inherited the machine) is dated 1960. For a machine that is almost 50 years old it runs incrediably well. It came new, mounted in a decorative cabinet and even that has withstood the test of time and dozens of kids!! What a great investment my Grandpa made!!! It would be between 1959-62
