We Sell Your Sewing Machines
Overview
From the clothes we wear every day, to the curtains hanging in our windows, to the blankets we climb under at night – a sewing machine is required to bring textile goods to life. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. The first machine is generally considered to have been created by Thomas Saint in 1790, an invention which has continuously improved the efficiency of the textile goods industry ever since. The introduction of the first usable home sewing machine was in the mid-1800s in America. Families tended to be large in the mid-1800s, often with six or more children. Making all their clothes was a tedious and time-consuming job tremendously simplified and speeded up by the advent of the sewing machine. Singer, launched in 1851, grew to become a huge company with factories all over the world, including Canada, the United States, Britain, Scotland and France. It’s without a doubt the name people associate with sewing more than any other. At its peak, The Singer Sewing Machine Company was bigger than General Motors. Antique Singer machines, as well as machines from other companies such as Howe, Royal, and Wilcox & Gibbs are highly sought-after by collectors today.
