The first sewing machine invented was in 1970 by a man by the name of Thomas Sur Singer. Named after its inventor, this first innovative sewing machine is called Singer. Similar to that of the sewing machines utilize in today’s world, this sewing machine uses a needle to which a thread can be attached to one end. With a push of a button, this machine runs about a quarter a mile per minute. As seen on the image above, in front of the machine in a large knob that can be turn a clockwise direction to adjust desired patterns, length and width of each stitch. This machine is made of steel and weighs about 30 pounds. It can be detached from its wooden stand for easy storage. A small bobby thread of any color can be used and setting it to the sewing machine can be done in three easy steps: first the bobby is place in a small vertical pole on top of the machine, second is goes around the next notch right above the needle and last, it goes in the hole of the needle. To the left of sewing machine is large rechargeable battery. This 12 volt battery lasts approximately 2 hours. As shown, this first invented machine is particularly used for thick and heavy durable fabric that is usually otherwise difficult to be sewn and stitched by hand. This machine allows for the existence of luxurious materials such as window curtains, blue jeans, comforters, and coats.
