Sewing - Tools and History

!: Sewing - Tools and History

The practice of sewing, as in using thread and needle to attach various kinds of material, has been dated to at least 20,000 years ago. Sewing is practically a universal occurrence, and the actual beginnings of it stretch back to the beginnings of history. It predates the weaving of cloth by many centuries, and was used to stitch together hides, furs, and bark for clothing and other uses.

Early sewing needles were made from bone, wood, or natural needles taken from plants as Native Americans did with the agave plant. The earliest verified sewing needles made from iron date back to the third century B.C.E. and were found in what is now Germany. Chinese archaeologists report finding a complete set of iron sewing needles and thimbles in a tomb dating from the Han Dynasty (202 BC-AD 220) in China. This is the earliest known example of a thimble in history. The thimble was developed to assist early sewers to push needles through thick hides and furs, and was first made from bone, wood, leather, sometimes glass and porcelain. Later thimbles began to be made from metal, and before the 18th century dimples in a thimble had to be punched into it by hand. The thimble also became an object of beauty with thimbles made from precious and semi-precious stones, and precious metals.

The first thread was made from plant fibers and animal sinew, which was used to sew together hides and furs for clothing, blankets and shelter. Later it was found that fibers from plants and animals could be spun together to make thread. The ancient Egyptians made thread by spinning these fibers together, and devised methods of dying the thread using berries and plant matter. In China and Japan, silk fibers taken from the cocoon of the silk worm was spun to make very fine thread.

For most of the history of sewing, it was done by hand. From the simplest stitches to ornate decorative work was done with a needle, thread and a steady hand. It remained so until the first patent for a machine that "emulated hand sewing" in 1790 in England. It is not known whether there ever was a machine built from the 1790 patent.

The first functioning sewing machine was issued a patent to Barthelemy Thimonnier in France in 1830. It used a single thread and a hooked needle to make a chain stitch similar to the one used in hand embroidery. The inventor was nearly killed when enraged French tailors rioted and burned down his garment factory because they feared the machine would cause unemployment. In 1846 the American Elias Howe was issued a patent for his machine, but the mass production of the machines did not happen until the 1850's when Isaac Singer built the first truly successful sewing machine. With needle, thread, thimble and machine, the art and craft of it has not only formed items for our use and comfort. Sewing has helped form civilization itself.

Sewing machine is a mechanical or electromechanical machine used to join fabrics using thread. It can create a wide variety of plain or patterned stitches. Sewing machines were introduced in the 1800s; it is one of the most important discoveries in the textile industry.

Of the different types of sewing machines, domestic sewing machines are the perfect tool for sewing. By the mid-nineteenth century, domestic sewing machines found a place in all U S homes to help women in the home production of clothing.

Introduced as a boon to the homemaker, domestic sewing machines are mainly used for domestic purposes and are manufactured to perform different tasks such as creation of buttonholes, stitching buttons on to the piece of clothing etc. Even though there are sewing machines that stitch using one, three, four or more threads, most of the domestic sewing machines use a two thread stitch called the lockstitch.

Also known as home use sewing machines, domestic sewing machines do not have feed dogs that pull the fabric to be sewn under the needle. As they don't have feed dogs, one has to pull the fabric with their hand. There are three basic types of domestic sewing machines-mechanical, electronic, and embroidery machines.

Lightweight sewing machine, straight stitch only sewing machine, embroidery only sewing machine, single-speed mini sewing machine, double-stitch double-speed home sewing machine and battery-operated handheld sewing machine are some of the domestic sewing machines available in the market.
