Sewing machines are pieces of electronic equipment that produce sewing, they do this in many ways and can be used to do many types of sewing. Most sewing machines can do stitches such as straight, zigzag, stretch straight, blind hem and satin. There are also lots of features that are standard with most sewing machines, these include the sewing of buttons, reverse sewing, an auto bobbin winder, variable speed foot control, a tension dial, a built in light and a soft cover for when the sewing machine is stored. The most popular brands of sewing machine are Singer, Brother, Toyota and Janome.

There are also some features that some sewing machines have but others do not, these include the auto thread needle which feeds the thread through the needles eye. Then there is the drop in bobbin which enables the sewer to start sewing straight away as the bobbin thread is pulled through automatically. The number of automatic stitches that the sewing machine can produce is also important, this is stated as a simple number and is usually between 10 and 40 stitches. For buttons there are also two features called 1 Step and 4 Step, with 1 Step a special sewing foot is used which holds the button in place and automatically measures the hole from this, the 4 Step feature requires that for each step the sewer turns the dial.

There are also other machines that are similar to sewing machines, these are overlocker, quilting and embroidery machines. The overlocker machine is designed to trim and neaten the edge of the fabric giving a professional finnish, using an overlocker means that fabric will not fray or unwind. Embroidery machines produce high quality embroidery by using heavy zigzag stitches, these are used to create patterns on the fabric which are only possible with embroidery machines. Quilting machines are used for quilt sewing, they need a special quilting table due to the large sizes that quilts generally come in. A common feature with embroidery, overlocker and quilting machines is the drop feed, this allows easy lowering of the feed dogs for free hand sewing. The main brands that make embroidery, quilting and overlocker machines are Brother, Singer, Janome and Toyota.
