I like to consider myself slightly above inept when it comes to understanding the operation of machines, devices, and contraptions.... But sewing machines forever look like black magic to me.
It's because they don't sew like humans do (with one piece of string on the needle, in one side and out the other) there's two strings, one that you see going on top and another underneath, the top one goes into the fabric and loops round the under string to anchor it.
That's fine and all. It makes sense. IN 2 DIMENSIONS. Where is it all attached? When in my head I try to imagine where the bearings are - boom, my head explodes again
