"A married Amish woman is a homemaker whether or not she has children. Before the children arrive, she will help her husband on the farm. If they do not live on a farm, she might work on a quilt or other craft projects to supplement their income. She might have an extra large garden and then do canning. These things she will bring to the farmer's market to sell during the summer and early fall season. She may even work at the Farmer's market as a young girl or at one of the shops in town. As a married woman, she will not be allowed to work for someone else. However, she may continue making quilts, sewing by hand, crochet and knitting projects to sell at the Farmer's Market." (Confessions)
The Amish do not use sewing machines instead; they do it all by hand. The Amish in general do not use machinery to help them with anything so instead they do it all by hand except for a phone and tractors. Whether the Amish can see this coming or not it appears to me that eventually the will, have no option but to start using technology more and more with each generation that goes by due to the need of emergency communication and trade needs from other countries.
