Isaac Singer's Sewing Machines

Isaac Singer was granted a patent for his first sewing machine on August 12, 1851. Machines for family sewing , of a frail and delicate construction, are recommended by other manufacturers. Such machines are made lo catch the eve, not to perform substantial work.

The truth is, family sewing machines ought to be stronger than any other, because they go into less skillful hands than when sold to manufacturers, and are used for a greater variety of work. The machines which have proved best for all other purposes must be best for family use, and they are Singer's. The speed of our machines has lately been doubled, No other can compare with them in quantity of work.
