  Howstuffworks "HowStuffWorks - Sewing Machines - How Sewing Machines Work"
Sewing machines are something like cars: There are hundreds of models on the market, and they vary considerably in price and performance.
In the last section, we saw that the heart of a sewing machine is the loop stitch.
Obviously, this sort of high-tech sewing machine is a lot more complex than the fully manual sewing machines of 200 years ago, but they are both built around the same simple stitching system: A needle passes a loop of thread through a piece of fabric, where it is wound around another length of thread.

 Sewing Machine
The machine, which employed both an eye-pointed needle and an oscillating shuttle, was not patented at the time of its invention—so when Hunt later attempted to obtain a patent, his claim was disallowed on grounds of abandonment.
In a machine employing a horizontal bobbin held in a freely moving shuttle, the stitch formed is exactly the same.
In addition to the large number of machines available for home use, about 2,000 different types of industrial sewing machines are designed for the manufacture of hats, shoes, and hosiery, as well as for the sewing of garments.

When looking at machines for purchase, it is important to sew on the machine yourself, in fact, you should insist on it.
Remember, when using a regular sewing machine (as opposed to a serger) there is thread on top of the seam (your top thread - when threaded goes through tension system of some kind) and the bobbin thread.
In machines with a bobbin case, the tension is still adjusted by adjusting that little bitty screw on the side of the bobbin, there is no one, etc. that jumps out and automatically adjusts this little screw.
