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