I like the idea, but I think it would be more effective with a needle as well.

While this is good, I would have just placed spool and needle. Nice colors. 7

Where's the "machine" ? ;-) Shadow is a little harsh on the spool.

Well, it still lacks a needle or you must have some magic trick to attatch those buttons to a fabric with that wire. :)

Overall great lighting but the shadow is a bit dark. A reflector opposite the light source may help to fill and soften it a bit. I've used whire cardboard, A4 white printing paper, wrinkled alu foil myself. Composition is good, but might look stronger in a 3:2 ratio. I say that because the left and right side are so close to the subjects that you'd expect a bit less space on top and at the bottom. 7

The harsh shadow under the thread is not good. You forgot the needle. Having the thread through the needle would have helped this.

You need at least one needle in this photo. Nice focus and arrangement.

Simple but clean,crisp and effective. Nicely done. Since you titled it sewing machine, I would have liked to seen the needle included. BOL

Great color of the tread and spool, should have a needle in the composition. Good luck.

Nice concept but I think it would have had more interest if there had been a needle or two in the shot. Show some sewing devices along with the thread and buttons.
Nicely sharp!

I really think you should have included a needle, as technically that is what would have been used to sew it, but I'll let that go. Great idea, well done.
