The Account of Electric Sewing Machines

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Not to many people have utilized the sewing machine to sew, even though the ability to sew has been around for thousands of years.Did you know that initially needles were made from the bones and horns of dead animals until the iron needle was finally created back in the 14th century?Over the past years there have been countless and countless inventors that have produced machines capable of sewing.In 1755 a German inventor, named Charles Weisenthal was granted the first patent for creating a very similar sewing machine that is used currently today for sewing.Yet there is much dispute over this for reasons like:  no one really knows for sure if he created it all by himself and it was never even shown to the general public.

In 1790, thirty five years later, an English man, named Thomas Saint, was presented with a patent for his creation of a sewing machine, even though it had several differences than the one that we use today.Soon after that many people attempted to recreate his sewing machine but simply could not do it.Loads of European inventors as the years flew by made many tries at creating sewing machines which  the people could use for sewing.However, several of those European inventors failed at their attempts.Since their attempts were thought of as failures, they were quickly forgotten by the people.

Finally, in 1830 the very first sewing machine that was confirmed to work was invented by Barthelemy Thimonnier, who was French, the machine he had created operated with a needle and one thread.Barthelemy Thimonnier lived in danger due to his invention of the mechanical sewing machine  and he actually had his factory burned down because the hand sewing tailors in the area sensed that they would lose their jobs as hand sewers.

Isaac Singer on the other hand started producing his very own creation of the mechanical sewing machine and started selling it with the name “Singer”Even now the Singer Company is still open, selling and producing sewing machines.Even as this was going on, Isaac was in a constant dispute over a patent with Elias Howe, who was another inventor of a sewing machine.The battle ended with the patent being awarded to Howe and Isaac Singer was required to shell out money for patent infringement.

By the way, here’s another resource for you: Electric Sewing Machines

Today there are many manufacturers of sewing machines around.The Singer Corporation which was created in 1851 by Isaac Singer himself, with the help of his lawyer, is the largest sewing machine manufacturer today.
