The first inkling of progress toward a practical sewing machine is found in the patent record of Great Britain 1755A.D. by German inventor Charles Weisenthal. A brief reference to a needle to be made for an undefined mechanical device is our only clue, and no other subsequent reference is known for his device. Thomas Saint filed a patent 1790 A.D. for a leather fastening device that would use an awl followed by needle and thread, but little came of his invention.
Like the race to outer space in recent years, a subtle race began. Germans, Austrians, and French inventors made many attempts to advance toward practical mechanical sewing. Barthelemy Thimonnier (1793-1857) of France made news with a mechanical chain stitch machine, but broad scale production and distribution 38 never emerged. Some inventors attempted to mimic hand sewing with their devices like Thomas Stone and James Henderson, Frenchmen who filed a patent in France in 1804.
John Knowles and John Doge were among the first Americans to attempt creation of the first sewing machine in 1818, but again failure. ELIAS HOWE SEWING MACHINE Elias Howe (1819-1867) created the first practical mechanical sewing machine in 1846 with a patent filed describing “a process that used thread from two different sources”… Top thread passed through a curved needle with an eye at the pointed end.Read more about Tamilmv
Appearance
The needle would pierce through the fabric, while another thread contained in a shuttle passed through and caught the first thread forming a locked stitch. Elias Howe had done it! His lockstitch machine could put out (250spm) as much as five speedy experienced hand sewers.
