A sewing machine is a machine used to sew fabric and materials together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of Elias Howe and Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790, the sewing machine has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity of the clothing industry. more details
Home sewing machines are designed for one person to sew individual items while using a single stitch type at a time. In a modern sewing machine, the process of stitching has been automated so that the fabric easily glides in and out of the machine without the inconvenience of needles, thimbles and other tools used in hand sewing. Early sewing machines were powered by either constantly turning a handle or with a foot-operated treadle mechanism. Electrically-powered machines were later introduced. view details
I spent a long time thinking about how best to illustrate the inner mechanisms of a sewing machine and looking at quite a few artworks other people have struggled to draw. So many moving parts are packed into such a small space that it can be difficult to figure out which bit is doing what. The more accurate the drawing, often the harder it is to understand, and I think it's actually clearer to look at the key mechanisms separately. These diagrams are simplifications that give you a general idea of what's happening; they're not absolutely faithful to what's happening and they don't show what's going on inside any specific machine.The electric motor rests at the bottom at the opposite end of the machine from the needle. Using a pulley arrangement, it drives the large handwheel at the top (the wheel you can turn to stitch slowly and carefully), which is shown red in these diagrams, and the main powershaft (gray). Let's look at the three key mechanisms in turn. get details
The sewing machine has its roots back in Europe's first Industrial Revolution, which began in the late 18th century. People started trying to find new ways to improve upon old tasks, and no task was older than sewing. The ultimate goal became the creation of a machine that could sew more quickly than humans, thus letting manufacturers create more textiles in less time. In today's terms, we may say that people were beginning to consider the possibilities of mass production. more details
The very first example we see of an effort to create such a machine came around 1790. English inventor Thomas Saint patented an idea for a machine that would punch holes in leather, then run a needle through them. It was an intriguing idea, but never anything more than that. Other people would also introduce their own ideas. A German man invented a machine for sewing caps but never patented it or expanded its use. American inventors of the early 19th century developed machines that could sew a few stitches, but only over a short span. None of these machines were very efficient, but the idea of a functional sewing machine was there, and people were determined to figure it out. view details
