sewed securely Explanation: '牢‘ is a southern Chinese word, not sure exactly the area in China it is used but certainly in the area of Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, meaning 牢固，secure, or durable. If it is in the north of China, you wouldn't use this word, will definitly be '车住‘。 I am fairly certain the text you are translating is from this part of China. |

"牢" can translate as securely here. so I think you can translate as"to sew securely with a machine, which emphasizes it is not hand-sewn. |
