Anytime you want to learn about older tech I suggest you watch a show from the mid 90s called “The Secret Life of Machines” with Tim Hunkin. Tim has remastered all the episodes to HD and uploaded them to his YouTube channel. Here is the episodes titled The Secret Life of the Sewing Machine. https://youtu.be/8lwI4TSKM3Y
I’d also recommend this video from Bernadette Banner as she talks about one of the earliest chain stitch machines. She also makes all her own Edwardian and Victorian era clothes by hand. https://youtu.be/X6ZNylvfER4q
