How does a sewing machine work?

250 viewsEngineeringOther

I can’t get my head around how a sewing machine sews a hem on material when it just a needle with some thread poked through it stabbing the material in a line. How does that then make the thread loop back under the material to create a hem on both sides?

It’s also got a wheel thingy feeding thread to make a loop.
