Sewing Machine Showroom in Guindy - VS Sewing Machine
Elias Howe from America invented a sewing machine that resembles
Fisher’s, with some tweaks and adjustments. His patent stated “a process
that uses thread from 2 different sources.” His machine had a needle
with an eye at the point. It went through the fabric creating a loop on
the reverse, a shuttle on a track that slipped the second thread through
the loop, creating what is called the lockstitch. He struggled to market his design, so he took the plunge and sailed
to England. After a lengthy stay, he returned to his motherland only to
find others had copied his lockstitch mechanism. One of those was an
Isaac Merritt Singer. more details
There are some inventions that are so remarkable that we are constantly
in awe of them- like rocket ships which can break from Earth's gravity
and travel to the Moon. That's cool stuff. However, in the big scheme of
things, these aren't necessarily the most significant inventions in our
history. That honor goes to the inventions that become so ubiquitous,
or widespread, as to become unremarkable. They don't just impact our
lives; they redefine them to the point where we can't remember life
without them. There have been several such inventions, but few were as
significant as the sewing machine. With it, life went from just so-so, to sew, sew, and sew some more. view details
