Electronic Sewing Machines

Tuesday 29 June 2010 - Filed under Types of Sewing Machines

For over 100 years sewing machines were made with pretty much the same design. It wasn’t until the 1900’s that electronic sewing machines started to appear. Until then sewing machines were just being made with more fancy designs, but the actual machines remained the same.

Electronic sewing machines are exactly what they sound like, electronic. They are plugged in. The sewing machine was invented in 1846 by, Elias Howe. Before electronic sewing machines were around, people had to use foot pedals to power the machines. It wasn’t until 1900 that things changed. The first electric industrial sewing machine for home was invented by, Singer in 1975. It was the Singer Athena 2000. If you look for these machines, you will find that people are still using them!

Singer went on to develop many sewing machines and is still one of the top names in the business today. Electronic sewing machines went on to become a huge help in making people’s lives easier. You need to remember that in the old days, people were making their own clothes, and this helped save a lot of time! In just the last half century, we can see just how far sewing machines have come.

Electronic sewing machines don’t use the push pull method. Instead they use an electrical impulse to shoot the needle and bring it back to it’s original place. This allows everything to work together jointly. It can create patterns and can do a much more impressive stitch.
