In 1846, the first American patent was issued to Elias Howe for "a process that used
thread from two different sources."
Elias Howe's machine had a needle with an eye at the point. The needle was pushed through the cloth and created a loop on the other side; a shuttle on a track then slipped the second thread through the loop, creating what is called the
lockstitch
.

The Sewing Machine
Before the invention of the sewing machine people had to create garments by hand. Slide3
Apparel & Textile Production I - Summer 20143Sewing machines did not go into mass production until the 1850's, when
Isaac Singer built the first commercially successful machine.
Singer built the first sewing machine where the needle moved up and down rather than the side-to-side and the needle was powered by a foot treadle
.
Previous machines were all hand-cranked. However, Isaac Singer's machine used the same lockstitch that Howe had patented.
Elias Howe sued Isaac Singer for
patent infringement
and won in 1854.

Paper Pattern-
The
paper or cardboard template from which the parts of a garment are
traced
onto fabric before cutting out and assembling
Before Paper Patterns, people who sewed would lay out their fabrics and then
hand draw
the fabric cuts they wanted to made.
Ellen
Butterick, wife of Ebenezer, remarked to her husband how handy it would be if she had some sort of pattern to guide her in making her fabric
cuts.
A pattern
that was the correct size for her
son.
Thus
paper patterns were
born!
