Sewing Machine

A machine that is used for stitching cloth or other material together. The first sewing
machine was invented in 1830 by Barthlemy 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.
