The history of the sewing machine is a long and complicated one. There are literally many disputes over who invented the machine. Let us take a look at how it all began.
The first of its history goes back to England by German Charles Weisenthal in 1755, which many believed was he who invented the sewing machine. He had applied for a patent for a needle to be used with a inescapable machine, but it is unknown what that machine was literally used for. Then in 1790, Englishman Thomas Saint applied for a patent for an awl that could perforate straight through fabrics like leather, creating holes. This remained a patent and was never successfully made. After that was a series of ideas that never worked, such as in 1804, Frenchmen James Henderson and Thomas Stone came up with an idea of manufacturing a sort of machine that would be able to imitate hand sewing. That year itself, John Duncan was given the patent for a sewing machine with many needles that were made for embroidery. But these were never marketed. In the meantime, there was German Balthasar Krems who is the first person to originate an self-acting machine in 1820, but since it did not function properly nor did he apply a patent for it, people rarely rejoinder him in the history of sewing machines. And in the Us, the first machine man-made was by John Knowles and John Adams Doge in 1818, but they were not successful as the machine could not sew on any fabric.

Barthelemy Thimonnier was the first person who came up with a working machine, with his prototype that had a hooked needle which allowed a particular thread to form chain stitches in 1830. They were man-made commercially and Thimonnier even opened his own sewing factory, which threatened the jobs of former tailors. But the first commercially produced sewing machine was by Isaac Singer, which machine created a unique needle movement of up and down instead of side to side, very much like today's sewing machines. Unfortunately for him, he did not get the patent as an American machine builder named Elias Howe won the patent first. To date, there are many dissimilar models machines with varied functions. But regardless of which model, they still consolidate the same idea based on the former patent.
