How many yards is 32 square feet of fabric?

From what I can tell, fabric is usually converted by using a factor of 18.

So, 1 yard of fabric = 18 square feet of fabric.

Note that this rule ONLY applies to fabric. For almost all other materials (carpet, tile, wallpaper, etc) you would use SQUARE yards and square feet, and this uses a factor of 9 (ie. 9 sqft =1 sqyd).

Hope this helps.

How did the sewing machine change our lives?

Sewing became much easier and quicker, instead of being made for each person, clothes were made in standard sizes. people bought clothes instead of making their own.

It gave women that could afford a sewing machine more time to do something other than sew. Also allowed them to make more dresses for themselves. Gave seamstresses a chance to take on more work, as they could finish it faster. Made the accuracy of stitching better.
it helped people make clothes faster i'm not good at history but i think the anwer i wrote above is right^^

What does a dressmaker's sewing machine look like?

A dressmaker can use a standard home sewing machine, such as a Brother, Singer, or Kenmore, or more expensive brands such as Bernina or Viking. These machines can range from very simple and straightforward, to deluxe with additional options (such as embroidery, stitch options, and various needles and presserfoots).

A dressmaker may also use a serger, which has 4 threads and finishes off raw edges. This looks a bit different, since the spools of thread are larger.

A dressmaker might also use an industrial sewing machine. This is a bit heavier, usually attached to a table, and probably only has a few stitching options. However, it's sturdier and can handle heavier fabrics and more frequent use.
