Machines that stitch cloth and the working parts and attachments that belong to them, including the presser foot that holds fabric against the feed dogs and the bobbin that carries the lower thread. A tool belongs here when its cited source describes it as a sewing or embroidery machine or as part of one. It excludes hand sewing tools and the pressing and fitting forms, which sit in their own groups. The sewing machine was one of the first household machines of the industrial age, and its parts are standard enough that many are interchangeable between makers.
