Sewing machine 
 Industrial sewing machines, by contrast to domestic machines, are larger, faster, and more varied in their size, cost, appearance, and task.
Sewing machine 
 Charles Fredrick Wiesenthal, a German-born engineer working in England was awarded the first British patent for a mechanical device to aid the art of sewing, in 1755.
Sewing machine 
 In 1790, the English inventor Thomas Saint invented the first sewing machine design, but he did not successfully advertise or market his invention.
Sewing machine 
 It is likely that Saint had a working model but there is no evidence of one; he was a skilled cabinet maker and his device included many practically functional features: an overhanging arm, a feed mechanism (adequate for short lengths of leather), a vertical needle bar, and a looper.
Sewing machine 
 His sewing machine used the chain stitch method, in which the machine uses a single thread to make simple stitches in the fabric.
Sewing machine 
 A stitching awl would pierce the material and a forked point rod would carry the thread through the hole where it would be hooked underneath and moved to the next stitching place, where the cycle would be repeated, locking the stitch.
Sewing machine 
 Saint's machine was designed to aid the manufacture of various leather goods, including saddles and bridles, but it was also capable of working with canvas, and was used for sewing ship sails.
Sewing machine 
 Although his machine was very advanced for the era, the concept would need steady improvement over the coming decades before it could become a practical proposition.
Sewing machine 
 In 1874, a sewing machine manufacturer, William Newton Wilson, found Saint's drawings in the London Patent Office, made adjustments to the looper, and built a working machine, currently owned by the London Science Museum.
Sewing machine 
 In 1804, a sewing machine was built by the Englishmen Thomas Stone and James Henderson, and a machine for embroidering was constructed by John Duncan in Scotland.
Sewing machine 
 The first practical and widely used sewing machine was invented by Barthélemy Thimonnier, a French tailor, in 1829.
Sewing machine 
 His machine sewed straight seams using chain stitch like Saint's model, and in 1830, he signed a contract with Auguste Ferrand, a mining engineer, who made the requisite drawings and submitted a patent application.
Sewing machine 
 The patent for his machine was issued on 17 July 1830, and in the same year, he opened (with partners) the first machine-based clothing manufacturing company in the world to create army uniforms for the French Army.
Sewing machine 
 However, the factory was burned down, reportedly by workers fearful of losing their livelihood following the issuing of the patent.
Sewing machine 
 The machine is made of wood and uses a barbed needle which passes downward through the cloth to grab the thread and pull it up to form a loop to be locked by the next loop.
Sewing machine 
 His machine used an eye-pointed needle (with the eye and the point on the same end) carrying the upper thread and a falling shuttle carrying the lower thread.
Sewing machine 
 Hunt eventually lost interest in his machine and sold individual machines without bothering to patent his invention, and only patenting it at a late date of 1854.
Sewing machine 
 The British partners Newton and Archibold introduced the eye-pointed needle and the use of two pressing surfaces to keep the pieces of fabric in position, in 1841.
Sewing machine 
 The first machine to combine all the disparate elements of the previous half-century of innovation into the modern sewing machine was the device built by English inventor John Fisher in 1844, thus a little earlier than the very similar machines built by the infamous Isaac Merritt Singer in 1851, and the lesser known Elias Howe, in 1845.
Sewing machine 
 However, due to the botched filing of Fisher's patent at the Patent Office, he did not receive due recognition for the modern sewing machine in the legal disputations of priority with Singer, and it was Singer who won the benefits of the patent.
Sewing machine 
 Elias Howe, born in Spencer, Massachusetts, created his sewing machine in 1845, using a similar method to Fisher's except that the fabric was held vertically.
Sewing machine 
 An important improvement on his machine was to have the needle running away from the point, starting from the eye.
Sewing machine 
 After a lengthy stay in England trying to attract interest in his machine, he returned to America to find various people infringing his patent, among them Isaac Merritt Singer.
Sewing machine 
 He eventually won a case for patent infringement in 1854, and was awarded the right to claim royalties from the manufacturers using ideas covered by his patent, including Singer.
Sewing machine 
 The machine he devised used a falling shuttle instead of a rotary one; the needle was mounted vertically and included a presser foot to hold the cloth in place.
Sewing machine 
 he patent the foot pedal or treadle, used to power some of his machines; unfortunately, the foot pedal had been in use too long for a patent to be issued.
Sewing machine 
 When Howe learned of Singer's machine he took him to court, where Howe won and Singer was forced to pay a lump sum for all machines already produced.
Sewing machine 
 Singer then took out a license under Howe's patent and paid him $1.15 per machine before entering into a joint partnership with a lawyer named Edward Clark.
Sewing machine 
 They created the first hire-purchase arrangement to allow people to buy their machines through payments over time.
Sewing machine 
 Meanwhile, Allen B. Wilson developed a shuttle that reciprocated in a short arc, which was an improvement over Singer and Howe's.
Sewing machine 
 However, John Bradshaw had patented a similar device and threatened to sue, so Wilson decided to try a new method.
Sewing machine 
 He went into partnership with Nathaniel Wheeler to produce a machine with a rotary hook instead of a shuttle.
Sewing machine 
 This was far quieter and smoother than other methods, with the result that the Wheeler & Wilson Company produced more machines in the 1850s and 1860s than any other manufacturer.
Sewing machine 
 Wilson also invented the four-motion feed mechanism that is still seen on every sewing machine today.
Sewing machine 
 This had a forward, down, back and up motion, which drew the cloth through in an even and smooth motion.
Sewing machine 
 Throughout the 1850s more and more companies were being formed, each trying to sue the others for patent infringement.
Sewing machine 
 In 1856, the Sewing Machine Combination was formed, consisting of Singer, Howe, Wheeler, Wilson, Grover and Baker.
Sewing machine 
 These four companies pooled their patents, with the result that all other manufacturers had to obtain a license and pay $15 per machine.
Sewing machine 
 James Edward Allen Gibbs (1829–1902), a farmer from Raphine in Rockbridge County, Virginia patented the first chain stitch single-thread sewing machine on June 2, 1857.
Sewing machine 
 In partnership with James Willcox, Gibbs became a principal partner in Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Company.
Sewing machine 
 Clothing manufacturers were the first sewing machine customers, and used them to produce the first ready-to-wear clothing and shoes.
Sewing machine 
 In the 1860s consumers began purchasing them, and the machines—ranging in price from £6 to £15 in Britain depending on features—became very common in middle-class homes.
Sewing machine 
 Owners were much more likely to spend free time with their machines to make and mend clothing for their families than to visit friends, and women's magazines and household guides such as Mrs Beeton's offered dress patterns and instructions.
Sewing machine 
 In 1877 the world's first crochet machine was invented and patented by Joseph M. Merrow, then-president of what had started in the 1840s as a machine shop to develop specialized machinery for the knitting operations.
Sewing machine 
 The Merrow Machine Company went on to become one of the largest American Manufacturers of overlock sewing machines, and continues to be a global presence in the 21st century as the last American over-lock sewing machine manufacturer.
Sewing machine 
 In 1885 Singer patented the Singer Vibrating Shuttle sewing machine, which used Allen B. Wilson's idea for a vibrating shuttle and was a better lockstitcher than the oscillating shuttles of the time.
Sewing machine 
 Millions of the machines, perhaps the world's first really practical sewing machine for domestic use, were produced until finally superseded by rotary shuttle machines in the 20th century.
Sewing machine 
 Sewing machines continued being made to roughly the same design, with more lavish decoration appearing until well into the 1900s.
Sewing machine 
 By the end of the First World War, Singer was offering hand, treadle and electric machines for sale.
Sewing machine 
 At first the electric machines were standard machines with a motor strapped on the side, but as more homes gained power, they became more popular and the motor was gradually introduced into the casing.
