Mrs. Verden Lee sewing on her new sewing machine in her home. Transylvania Project, Louisiana. A sewing machine is a machine used to sew fabric and other materials together with thread. Home sewing machines are designed for one person to sew individual items while using a single stitch type. In a modern sewing machine the fabric easily glides in and out of the machine without the inconvenience of needles and thimbles and other such tools used in hand sewing, automating the process of stitching and saving time.
