At one time, all mothers taught their daughters to sew. Today that is no longer true, and although almost everyone has seen a sewing machine, many people use one only rarely, if at all. Unless you're interested in a career in fashion design or sewing machine repair, chances are you haven't had much reason to use one. So you may not know that a sewing machine is a miracle of intricate, old-fashioned mechanical technology.
