About the sound
The Adler embroidery machine, model 9-35 (built around 1900), was operated by women in the Vereinigten Wäschefabriken (United Linen Works) Juhl & Helmke in Bielefeld in order to carry out embroidery work of all kinds on household linen, underwear and bed clothes. Since the 1950s the profession of embroiderer has died out and cannot be learned any more. Today the machine is used for demonstrational purposes in the Museum Wäschefabrik in Bielefeld.
The sound of the machine is created when the needle apparatus is put into its stitching motion by the electric motor.
