SEWING MACHINE

A machine that is used for stitching cloth or other


material together. The first sewing machine was
invented in 1830 by Barthélemy Thimonnier , a tailor,
in France. In the United States, Walter Hunt also
invented a sewing machine in 1834, but did not patent
it. Later, in 1846, the device was improved by another
American, Elias Howe, whose business was not
successful at first. Isaac M. Singer made small
modifications in the machine and patented his
improvements in 1851. His business became a success: his company sold 2,564
machines in 1856, and 13,000 in 1860.
