As we all know, the old sewing machine is a kind of machine which uses one or several sewing threads and then form one or lots of stitches tracks on the sewing materials and also makes one layer or more layers of sewing materials intertwined or stitched together with each other, and the old sewing machine can stitch plenty of sewing materials, such as the cotton, the hemp, the silk, the wool and the manmade fibers as well as the leather, the plastics, and the papers, etc. Besides, the stitches tracks which are stitched by the old sewing machine are usually very tidy and beautiful and flat and stable, and the speed of old sewing machine is usually very fast, and can be easily used. Thus, let’s learn something important about the developed history of old sewing machine in the world as follows.

After the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th century, the large quantity of production of the textile industry promoted the invention and development of old sewing machine, and a British wood craft worker called Thomas Saint invented the first single chain stitch hand sewing machine whose using method was to make the hole on the sewing materials and then put the thread on the hole of the needle and then stitch in 1790, and this kind of old sewing machine was just like the modern sewing machine which was used to stitch the shoes. In 1841, a French tailor called Barthelemy Thimonnier invented and manufactured the chain stitch sewing machine with hook. After that, Elias Howe also invented the old sewing machine personally in 1845, and a American machinery worker called I. M. Winner invented the lock stitch sewing machine in 1851, and then he established the Winner Company. Also, the old sewing machines at that time were basically the hand sewing machines.

Moreover, the Winner Company invented the foot-operated sewing machine in 1859. After the Thomas Edison invented the motor, the Winner Company also invented the sewing machine powered by the motor in 1889, which led a new way for the development of old sewing machines. Also, the Switzerland Erna company invented the portable home sewing machine which was equipped with cylinder bottom plate and the cast aluminum chassis as well as the motor in 1940 and then this company further developed the home sewing machine after 1950.

When it was in the early 70s, the home sewing machine markets in the advanced and developed industry countries were gradually close to saturation, and the Japanese enterprises had to produce and manufacture the old sewing machines which were used in the industries field under the condition of the gradual improving and increasing of labor costs.
