Therapeutic and beautiful, I totally agree.

Because of this difficulty, humans created sewing machines, to make it easier to make bags, wallets, or clothes. Sewing machines have developed since the 14th century, to using computer systems, like today.

The history of sewing using needles, began at the beginning of human civilization. Metal needles that have holes, and are commonly found today, began to be used around the 14th century. Since 1755, many parties have competed to create and patent sewing machines. However, all the machines created failed, and could not be used properly.

Until 1830, Bahtiliri Simony, a French tailor, succeeded in creating the first sewing machine that worked properly. This sewing machine is made of wood, uses one thread, and a hook-shaped needle.

In 1834, Welthan in America, made a sewing machine using the lockstitch sewing method that worked well. This machine uses two needles, with holes at the sharp end, each carrying thread for sewing up and down.

Still from America. Alhays Hawn, also made a sewing machine using the same method. It's just that the fabric being sewn is in a vertical position. And in 1846, Hawn patented his creation. The sewing machine initially had a needle that moved from side to side.

Until the 1850s, Isak Mayred Singer, created a sewing machine that had a needle drive that used a foot pedal, and a needle that moved up and down, not like other sewing machines.

In 1873, Hallen Augusta Bathlain, patented a sewing machine that could make zigzag patterned stitches.

In 1877, Joseph Mero, patented a lace-making machine. This is the first machine to make oberlog, which is usually used to sew the edges of fabric.

The development of sewing machines did not stop there. In 1889, the first electric sewing machine was patented. And, since then there have been many variations of sewing machines that can make embroidery patterns, needles that can make various types of stitches, and finger protectors.

Along with the development of the times, small and practical sewing machines can now be used by the public. There are also computer sewing machines that have microprocessors. This sewing machine allows tailors to make patterns, either in the form of stitches or embroidery.

In addition, the computer sewing machine will stop automatically if the change in thread color matches the pattern that has been made on the computer. Technology makes sewing work easier.

Greetings always compact.
