The sewing machine motors don't have enough torque to do  the job.

When I was building Tesla Coil secondaries on waxed cardboard tubes (hey,  it 
works), I connected one to my Mom's sewing machine with that ever-useful,  
holds-the-world-together Duct Tape. It spun the secondary just fine. The foot  
pedal control was a plus.
 
I was in the middle of winding the secondary when my Mom came and saw what  I 
was doing, and shall we just say, she put a stop to it.
 
Dr. Resonance is right. Boy, she was torqued.
 
Thanks,
