Oxford Diecast Singer Traveller - 1:43 Scale

Product Code: MT002
|
Sold out
£6.95

In 1850 Orson C. Phelps of Boston was manufacturing sewing machines under license from John A. Lerow. The Lerow and Blodgett machine was not very practical. The circular movement of the shuttle took a twist out of the thread at every revolution.
Isaac Merritt Singer, after examining the machine, noted "instead of the shuttle going around in a circle, I would have it move to and fro in a straight line. In a place of the needle bar pushing a curved needle horizontally, I would have a straight needle and make it work up and down".
After 11 days and forty dollars in cost, Singer completed his invention : the worlds first practical sewing machine. This machine had a straight eye-pointed needle and transverse shuttle, an overhanging arm, a table to support the cloth, a presser foot to hold the material against the upward stroke of the needle, and a roughened feed wheel extending a slot in the table. Motion was communicated to the needle arm and shuttle by means of gears.
