Sis forSewing machine

A sewing machine is a device, usually powered by an electric motor, that can sew much neater and straighter than you can by hand. Modern sewing machines have lots of different stitches built into them. Some sewing machines can even connect to a computer and stitch very intricate embroidery from pictures on the computer automatically.
