Here's how it works in slo-mo

Nostalgic to my childhood. We would turn the machines in my grandmothers garage by hand and watch how the mechanisms work (my grandfather was a furrier). Wish I got to know him. Probably would have dabbled in this kind of stuff in all honesty

He probably used a Bonis machine then! I believe they were standard for furriers

i think this might just be the most beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life

Solid reliable 50s engineering

Slow motion Bonis action! Those clips are a godsend too. I embroider and stitch and use the clips to secure excess fabric to the hoop to make it easier to hold.

I still don't understand it 😵‍💫

That's amazing, I just finished my first body suit with a regular machine. This bad boy would save so much time. 😍

That’s a really cool machine

What type of machine is this?! =O

Its a Bonis bs-8 sewing machine
