Esterhuyse 1 Kwaggasrand School Year 2 English: First Additional Language Week 4 Term 2 Listening and Speaking Discuss the invention of sewing machines with a parent/guardian. Understand and use new vocabulary (page 4) Answer questions orally (page 4) Sewing machine, any of various machines for stitching material (such as cloth or leather), usually having a needle and shuttle to carry thread and powered by treadle, waterpower, or electricity. It was the first widely distributed mechanical home appliance and has been an important industrial machine. Detail of contemporary sewing machine parts: needle, needle bar, presser foot, feed dog, bobbin case, shuttle (loop taker), machine bed, and plate. An early sewing machine was designed and manufactured by BarthélemyThimonnier of France, who received a patent for it by the French government in 1830, to mass-produce uniforms for the French army, but some 200 rioting tailors, who feared that the invention would ruin their businesses, destroyed the machines in 1831. Thimonnier’s design, in any event, merely mechanized the hand-sewing operation. A decisive improvement was embodied in a sewing machine built by Walter Hunt of New York City about 1832–34, which was never patented, and independently by Elias Howe of Spencer, Massachusetts, patented in 1846. In both machines a curved eye-pointed needle moved in an arc as it carried the thread through the fabric, on the other side of which it interlocked with a second thread carried by a shuttle running back and forth on a track. Howe’s highly successful machine was widely copied, leading to extensive patent litigation and ultimately to a patent pool that included the design of Isaac Merritt Singer, the largest manufacturer. In 1860 more than 110,000 sewing machines were produced in the United States alone. 2 Kwaggasrand School Year 2 English: First Additional Language Week 4 Term 2 BarthélemyThimonnier, portrait from Sewing machine, invented by Elias Howe, Le Petit Journal Supplement Illustre, 1907. illustrated on a cigarette card, 1915. Although modern sewing machine designs have proliferated in an enormous variety, mostly for special industrial purposes, the basic operation remains unchanged. Modern machines are commonly powered by an electric motor, but the foot-treadle machine is still in wide use in much of the world. The world’s largest producer is China. Japan’s industry pioneered the versatile zigzag machine.

  • Scissors 101 Cut Through Confusion
    1 of 3 Scissors 101 Cut Through Confusion When you decide to buy new shears or scissors, your choices encompass a wide variety of sizes, brands and investment options. Determining what you want to cut with your new scissors will help you narrow the field of possibilities. • Do you need sewing shears or trimming scissors? • Do you need a great pair of arts and crafts scissors? • Do you need household scissors? • Do you need decorative scissors for embellishing papers? • Do you need a scissor for a special purpose? Good shears and scissors can be summed up in one sentence. You get what you pay for. Purchasing Tips: ‣ Don’t expect $100 results from $10 scissors, but it’s perfectly fine to buy what you can afford and then invest in a higher quality scissor later. ‣ Dedicate scissors to a specific task. If you plan to cut out a garment that you plan to sew, don’t use the scissors from your kitchen. ‣ The best advice about shears and scissors is to spend as much as you can justify because sharp, accurate cutting instruments enhance your creative experience. Shears and Scissor Choices: There are many great brands of sewing shears and scissors including Gingher, Dovo, Havel and Fiskars. A good sharp 8” shear with bent handles will be a great choice for this task. If you have difficulty opening and closing scissors easily, you might consider the Fiskars Softouch Microtip Spring Action shears. HowToGetCreative.com • ©BarbOwenDesigns 2013 - All Rights Reserved 2 of 3 In your sewing room, you’ll also need a good sturdy scissor to clip and trim seams.

  • Sewing Machine
    Sewing Machine A sewing machine is a textile machine used to stitch fabric, cards and other material together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first working sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790, the sewing machine has vastly improved the efficiency and productivity of fabric, clothing industries, needle industries. History In 1791 British inventor Thomas Saint was the first to patent a design for a sewing machine. His machine was meant to be used on leather and canvas. A working model was never built. 1 In 1814 an Austrian tailor Josef Madersperger, presented his first sewing machine, the development of which started in 1807. In 1830 a French tailor named Barthélemy Thimonnier, patented a sewing machine that sewed straight seams using chain stitch. The lockstitch sewing machine was invented by Walter Hunt in 1833. In 1842, John Greenough patented the first sewing machine in the United States. Elias Howe, born in Spencer, Massachusetts, created his sewing machine in 1845, using a similar method to Hunt's, except the fabric was held vertically. Trained as an engineer, Singer saw a rotary sewing machine being repaired in a Boston shop. He thought it to be clumsy and promptly set out to design a better one. His machine used a flying shuttle instead of a rotary one; the needle was mounted vertically and included a presser foot to hold the cloth in place.

  • MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENT and REPAIR of INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES by WAYNE SNYDER, MASTER RIGGER US ACADEMY of PARACHUTE RIGGING
    MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR OF INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES by WAYNE SNYDER, MASTER RIGGER US ACADEMY of PARACHUTE RIGGING Presented at the PIA INTERNATIONAL PARACHUTE SYMPOSIUM RENO, NEVADA February 2007 MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR OF INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES PREMISE: You know how to sew and you are working with an “E” thread lock stitch sewing machine and it was sewing and now it’s gone bad. You probably just changed something – 98% of the time just go back and inspect and correct what you just did and you will be back in business. COMMON CASE SCENARIOS: A. Bobbin change B. Top thread change C. Jam D. Broken needle and/or changed needle Before we get into these specific areas, let’s go back and remember the basic way the machines work. All lock stitch machines make the same stitch. 301, 304, or 308: these are just lock stitch machines. “THE FLOW ACTION” • The needle does down • The needle goes below path of hook (Figure 1) • Needle bottoms out (B.D.C.) • Needle comes up (3/32 inch - common measurement), loop forms on hook side of needle (non-long groove side of the needle) (Figure 2) • Hook picks up top thread loop and carries it around bobbin case. (Figure 3) • Hook drops top thread off (Figure 4) • Thread take-up arm takes out slack and sets stitch in goods. (Figure 5) • Think of the bobbin thread as a long straight rod with the top thread spiraled around it. Sew a piece of paper with two different color threads – rip paper to remove it and there is your example.

  • Tips for Minimizing Embroidery Interruptions
    TECHNICAL BULLETIN TIPS FOR MINIMIZING EMBROIDERY INTERRUPTIONS Sewing interruptions can be caused by many factors, however the most common causes include the following: • Needle Thread Breakage or Pull-out – not picking up at the beginning of a stitch pattern • Bobbin Thread Run-out or Thread Pick-Up – not picking up at the beginning of a stitch pattern • Improper Thread Trimming • Thread break detector stoppage In order to minimize interruptions during the stitching of complex embroidery patterns, the following vital elements must work together during the embroidery process. These vital elements include: • Proper Digitizing for the fabric and pattern being sewn • Proper Embroidery Machine Maintenance and Settings • Correct Backings and/or Toppings for the Application • Proper Needle Type and Size • Quality Embroidery Threads We will look at each of these elements and discuss potential causes for excessive sewing interruptions. A. INTERRUPTIONS DUE TO NEEDLE THREAD BREAK Digitizing Causes: • Improper cornering with too many stitches in the same location • Not using appropriate underlay stitches that help minimize flagging during the rest of the stitch pattern • Density properties too high within designs that layer many colors of thread • Not using Tie-In Stitches at beginning of thread changes • Not using Short Stitches at the end of a stitching cycle Digitizing Solutions: • Try to minimize the stitch density at any one point. TECHNICAL BULLETIN • Reduce density properties as you build up layers of embroidery • On lettering, use your “short-stitch” function • Use appropriate underlay stitches that help minimize flagging • Use slower speed “Tie-In” Stitches at beginning of thread changes • Use slower speed “Tie-Off” Stitches at the end of a stitching cycle.

    S EWING F OCUS TECHNICAL SEWING INFORMATION Umbrellas Checklist for Sewing Umbrellas Sewing Parameters: SCHMETZ Tip: Needle size NM SIZE 70 – 110 10 – 18 Depending on the thickness of the material. We recommend the use of the SCHMETZ SERV 7 needle. Needle point In the production of umbrellas, mostly round points of the type “R” and “SPI” are used. Sewing thread In the production of umbrellas, mostly core spun threads made from cotton or polyester are used. They have a core multi filament made from polyester and thus have greater strength. These threads are also available with hydrophobic finishing. Machine Many processes are carried out using industrial high-speed sewing machines with stitch types 301 (double lockstitch) and types of overedge chain stitches (class 500). Several types of automats are also used. Other factors: Thread tension The required thread tension depends on fabric, sewing thread and sewing machine. It should however be kept as low as possible in order to avoid seam puckering. Stitch type Double lockstitch (stitch type 301), single thread chain stitch (stitch type 101) and types of overedge chain stitch (class 500); all stitch types and classes according to DIN 61400. Stitch density The higher the stitch density the higher the elasticity and strength of the seam. The production of umbrellas requires an extremely high stitch density of 7 stitches/cm for the seam to withstand the high tension.

    Windham Textile & History Museum The Mill Museum June, 2021 As Ye Sew Usually when people think of the inventor of the sewing machine, the name "Elias Howe" pops into mind. But long before Howe patented his design, Charles Weisenthal, a German, was issued a British patent in 1755 for a "needle that is designed for a machine." Unfortunately, neither an illustration, nor a model of this invention survived. In 1790 a patent for a hand-cranked machine was granted to Englishman William Saint, but there is no proof that it was ever used. Then in 1830, Barthélemy Thimonnier, a French tailor, opened the first machine-based clothing manufacturing company to make uniforms for the French army. But there was one drawback - the other local tailors were so afraid that Thimonnier would undercut their trade that they torched his factory - WITH HIM INSIDE! Fortunately, he survived. Perhaps that is why an American, Walter Hunt, didn't patent his design in 1834. He said he was afraid it would lead to massive unemployment. Enter Elias Howe in 1845. After an unsuccessful marketing trip to England, he returned to the States to find that Isaac Merritt Singer had copped his design. Howe sued Singer for Patent Infringement and won. After the dust settled, both men ended up millionaires, and home and commercial sewing were revolutionized. Soon, many other companies entered the market. Sewing machines were one of the first mass- market complex consumer goods distributed around the globe. By 1920 they were nearly everywhere - in cities, towns, and tiny hamlets. There's even a memorable scene in Fiddler on the Roof in which Motel has his new machine blessed by the village of Anatevka's rebbe.

  • The Inventor of the Sewing Machine and the Arthropods
    Published on 26 June 2015 by Jean-Luc Soulier, Member of the Paris and Brussels Bars [email protected] Tel.: +33 (0)1 40 54 29 29, + 33 (0)4 72 82 20 80 Read this post online The inventor of the sewing machine and the arthropods Much has been said about the resistances of French society to major industrial and technological revolutions. A little book[1] in praise of Barthélémy Thimonnier, the inventor of the sewing machine, given to me by the CEO of the company Thimonnier, is a reminder that fear of change and temptation of inaction can resurface wherever an innovation is likely to upset the order of things. I felt I should share with you the brilliant lesson in political economy published by Barthélémy Thimonnier in theJournal de Villefranche on September 28, 1845 in response to a letter from a reader who had described his invention as a “public calamity”. Much has been said about the resistances of French society to major industrial and technological changes, as illustrated by the controversial introduction of the precautionary principle in our Constitution through the incorporation therein of the Charter for the Environment. And the worst has been avoided! Some of the reports published during theGrenelle de l’environnement[2], supposed to establish a framework for the implementation of the precautionary principle, suggested placing R&D activities under supervision: A commission composed equally of scientists and representatives of public authorities on the one hand, and representatives of civil society (in fact, in the mind of the supporters of this suggestion, representatives of associations) on the other hand, would have had the power of life or death on research projects likely to adversely affect humans or the environment.
