Sewing Machine

A sewing machine is a machine used to stitch fabricand other materials


together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the
first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewingwork
performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first working
sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of
Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790,[1] the sewing machine has greatly
improved the efficiency and productivity of the clothing industry.
Home sewing machines are designed for one person to sew individual
items while using a single stitch type. In a modern sewing machine the
fabric easily glides in and out of the machine without the inconvenience of
needles and thimbles and other such tools used in hand sewing,
automating the process of stitching and saving time.
Industrial sewing machines, by contrast to domestic machines, are larger,
faster, and more varied in their size, cost, appearance, and task.
