Your sewing machine works on the principles of basic mechanics. You can understand the working in the following steps:
-A hook rotates below your needle and captures the thread from above.
-It then loops it around the lisle coming from the bobbin below.

So a simple mechanism results in a neat stitch. It's not magic; it's mechanics.

-A rotating hook catches the upper string.
-A bobbin below supplies the lower yarn.
-The two threads knot together as it completes one rotation, and you get a stitch.
