Daves SG Build Whist Waiting for the clear to dry on my LP

Sometimes you need to sand in the same direction as the machine marks and once they are gone revert back to sanding in direction of the grain.

Yep I tried that but the wood is so dam hard it is hard to make in impression hence I have used some sealer in hope that it will help with my next sanding pass.

You may have just trapped those machine marks under a layer of sealer. They will not go away until they have been sanded out. Not sure adding more sealer will disguise things enough to be not noticeable when stain has been applied.
Acknowledge it is a lot of work, particularly with some timber species.

machine marks aside , some stains, ie finger marks, pencil marks, water marks come out easier upon sanding a 'wet' sealer.

remember years of removing the carpenters grubby pencil and dirt which was far easier to eliminate when sanding a 'wet just sealed' timber than to dry sand it prior.
i was was amzed how some machine marks and other oddities including colour varibles where more easily seen wet.
soz for ramble..lol
