I am going to hypnotize you now...

...while simultaneously showing you how the bobbin in a sewing machine works.


P. emailed this amazing graphic to me today from this place. (I think they got it from the "How Stuff Works" website, which is apparently chock a block with tantalizing animations like this one.)

There is something so neat about this, I guess because I've been sewing for years and not really known what was going on under that mysterious bobbin plate.

Watch your stats counter, Jocelyn. Are people suddenly staying on the page for hours at a time without clicking anything?

Looks like this machine is writing- no -stitching a very neat text!

Mmmff...

What happened? I went to go read Jocelyn's blog and the next thing I knew it was dark outside and six hours had passed.

Creepy.
