Friday Fun Fact! Today we're commemorating the birth of Elias Howe, whose 204th birthday is this Sunday, July 9! Commonly credited as the inventor of the sewing machine, Howe had a profound influence on modern sewing. Really, no one single person invented the sewing machine as we know it; several individuals worked on prototypes in the early part of the 19th century. The first sewing machines did not have a bobbin, but created a chain stitch with a single thread. Howe filed a patent in 1846 for a machine that used a lock-stitch similar to what we still use today. An upper spool of thread worked together with a bobbin thread to create a more secure stitch than the previous chain-stitch models. Howe's machine looks pretty different than our modern machines, but the basic operation is essentially the same! Check out all our Friday Fun Facts in the archive here! |
