SEWING MACHINE

Thus, today, we have new and different designs and different colors of clothes available in every market, mall and shopping center all the time, but have we ever thought about how these clothes are made, what is the history of the machines on which they are sewn? Thus, we have been ignoring the history of some machines. 

For example, 

 "We all knows very well about the invention of blub also about their inventor, but we do not know about the invention of the needle?"

Today we have written the history of such an invention.

Millions of years ago,  First priority was to cover the body, When mankind first set foot on earth. Thus, the first clothes were made of animal skins, which not only protected the human body from various insects but also from weather changes. Then, every passing era and century played an important role in innovating this clothing. Thus, different cultures played an important role in the preparation and design of clothing.

We can proudly say that the clothes that you and I wear today are more comfortable and durable than the clothes of the princes and ministers in the past centuries. The main reason for this is the innovation of science and human thinking, which has been keeping the human mind abreast of innovation with each passing time.

Thus, today, we have new and different designs of different colors in every market, mall and shopping center, but have you ever thought about how these clothes are made? What is the history of the machines we sew on? We have been ignoring the history of some machines. For example, we know very well who invented the light bulb, but we don't know who invented the needle.

Today, it would not be wrong for us to say that the clothes we wear today are more comfortable and durable than the clothes of the nobles and nobles of the past centuries. The main reason for this is the advancement of science and human thought, which has been bringing the human mind closer to innovation with each passing time.

Today, we have brought under our consideration one such invention related to human clothing and its innovative thinking, which may have started with the hand, but today it is playing an important role in the most modern clothing in the world. Yes, sir, we are talking about the sewing machine. Today, this machine is present in almost every home in the world with different designs and functions.

In 1755, German-born inventor Charles Friedrich Wiesenthal, living in England, patented a mechanical sewing device based on needle design with two points and an eye for use. 

THOMAS SAINT SEWING MACHINE

Later, In 1790, English cabinet maker Thomas Saint built upon earlier ideas, creates an mechanism aimed to stitch on tough materials like leather and canvas.

The sewing machine developed by Thomas worked using the chain stitch method, in which a one-sided stitch was sewn with the help of only one thread.

Thus, with Charles's invention in the mid-eighteenth century, the process of innovating it began.

Which continued until the early years of the nineteenth century, in which several important inventors, Thomas Stone, Thomas Anderson, John Duncan and Josef Madersperger, are of particular importance.

In 1829, French tailor Barthelemy Thimonnier introduced a practical sewing machine that become famous due to the widely producing uniforms for France’s military.

Barthelemy Thimonnier Machine

Later, in 1832, American mechanical engineer Walter Hunt innovated on it and developed the world's first lockstitch type machine, which was equipped with all the modern functions and is still in use today due to its design and durability.

WALTER MACHINE

Here we consider it necessary to mention this fact that Walter soon became interested in the machines he invented and sold all such invented machines for a few pennies.

Later, in 1842, Walter's invented machine was improved by introducing the feature of sewing with double-sided pressing to improve the sewing of clothes.

In the early nineteen century, the process of innovating the sewing machine invented by Barthélémy began once again and in the twenty century Continued until the beginning

In 1889, the famous American manufacturing company Singer Sewing Corporation introduced the first electric sewing machine. In its beginning, this machine was connected to an electric motor that rotated the handle with the help of a rubber band.

Later, in view of its popularity, this machine was further improved and moved towards consumer use with the help of various software and computers.

Thus, this journey of inventing and innovating the sewing machine, which began in the eighteenth century, is still ongoing today and is moving towards further innovation. It is said that keeping that invention alive and innovating it with each coming era is more difficult than inventing any useful thing.

We hope that you have found this article of ours interesting.
