How The Sewing Machine Has Developed Over The Years
Initially, sewing machines were manufactured for garment factory production lines, allowing for clothing to become uniformly mass-produced. It was French tailor Barthelemy Thimonnier who invented the first functioning sewing machine in 1830 for use in his garment factory.
This original machine used only one thread and a hooked needle for a chain stitch. His factory was burnt down and he was nearly killed by an angry mob of French tailors who were afraid his machines would leave them unemployed. A few years later in America, Walter Hunt shared the same fears, and abandoned the work to patent his own version of a straight-seam sewing machine. The fears were unfounded, as industrial sewing machines created multiple job opportunities worldwide.
Modern garment factories incorporate the same mass production techniques as other industries, with each workstation completing one part of the overall job. Industrial sewing machines are generally designed to perform one specific sewing function such as embroidery. Machines with different functions are operated to complete clothing items in a production line. Marketing to individuals didn't begin until 1889, allowing for women to have the means to create clothing for their family without the labor-intensive hand stitching. The domestic sewing machine used in the home is manufactured to perform many tasks from sewing straight or zigzag stitches and the creation of buttonholes, as well as stitching buttons on to the piece of clothing.
Industrial sewing machines, like their domestic counterparts for the home, were created to simplify and speed up the otherwise labor-intensive hand stitching. The domestic sewing machine is manufactured to perform many tasks from sewing straight or zigzag stitches and the creation of buttonholes, as well as stitching buttons on to the piece of clothing. Sewing machines were adapted for use in industrial settings, allowing for clothing to become uniformly mass-produced. The industrial sewing machines are generally designed to perform a specific sewing function such as embroidery or applying buttonholes. Companies from all over the world manufacture industrial sewing machines with very basic features as well as higher-end computer operated models.
A variety of machines with different functions are operated to complete clothing items in a production line. A few examples would be a Bag Closer sewing machine which is used for sewing a single thread chain-stitch, a high-speed plain sewer is used for stitching seems and double needle machines are used for adding top stitching details to items like jeans.
Walking foot machines are invaluable for quilting and sewing coats, as it keeps the fabric moving along without bunching and making for a smoother and faster production. Overlock serger sewing machines, which are also available in smaller versions for the home, create the whipped V stitch along the edge of a seam of T-shirts and other stretchable fabrics.

Can a Brother Serger and Brother Embroidery Machine be used as a basic stitching machine??
I currently have a basic Brother machine and wanted to upgrade. I'm leaning towards buying SE 270 Embroidery but wanted to know the pros and cons of buying an embroidery vs. a serger. I want to be able to write names on bibs or my daughter's school bag and sew clothes as well. Is the threading for sergers very expensive? Can I use either embroidery/serger as a regular machine for hemming clothes, etc? Also, how do I e-mail someone back who responded to my question? This is only my second time asking a question.
Embroidery can be done freehand with any sewing machine -- if your library happens to have a copy of "Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery", you might want to look at all the beautiful work done in the early part of the 20th century with straight-stitch-only treadle machines. The most complete recent book I know of for freehand work is Robbie and Tony Fanning's Complete Book of Machine Embroidery.
Of the two machines, my strong preference would be for the serger... it makes sewing tricky fabrics much, much easier, it's a faster machine and can save you a lot of time while giving a professionally made look. I can cut and serge a basic pair of pants or a t-shirt faster than I can get a pair through the washer and dryer cycles.
Some of the embroidery machines are embroidery only... they really don't function as a sewing machine for garment construction, for instance. Others are dual purpose machines.
I'd suggest you might want to join the yahoo group "sergers" and poke around in the archives and ask questions there... it's a friendly and knowledgeable group, and it's probably a better place to explore all of what sergers can do than this venue.
