In 1814, an Australian tailor, Josef Madersperger attempted many unsuccessful designs.

The first functional sewing machine was invented in 1830.prior to this, a series of innovations came such as in 1810, Balthasar Krems used sewing caps and built an automatic machine. All the designs were operated with the winding handle however, in all the designs the needle was moved side to side and there was hardly any improvisations. With the failure of each design, every design became one step ahead than the previous one. In 1874, William Newton, an English Engineer somehow got Saint’s patented detailed drawing that with it’s help he designed the replica and claimed that it was he who gave the detailed design of sewing machine. Unfortunately, it remained unknown if he created the prototype of the machine or not. He designed a hand crank-operated machine which was capable to work on canvas and leather. Thomas Saint, a cabinet maker from England devised the first-ever sewing machine. The Controversial Detailed DesignĪ day came in 1790 when the first detailed design was introduced and the first stone was laid to create the history of revolutionary equipment. That was the moment when the invention of the sewing machine was established. In 1755, the British patent for the first sewing needle was issued to a German man, Charles Weisenthal but the patent had no description of the machine-like device.

In the 18th century, with the beginning of the industrial revolution, Europe saw a dip in manual sewing, and then came the first patent in 1755. A setting of 3 would be a perfect 50/50 blend of the gold and brown settings. What this means is that you may not get the width control you would expect when using combination patterns.The inventive sense in humans led to continuous progress in the improved technique and hence making it less manual than before. The lever now acts as a ratio controller, flipping the lever all the way to (width) 1 will use the gold setting 100% and the brown setting 0% while flipping to 5 will utilize the gold setting at 0% and brown setting at 100%. This causes the brown (stitch width) lever to ostensibly behave differently. Secondary patterns, on the other hand combine both cam fingers to produce a pattern. This frees up the brown lever (not truly a stitch width lever, but deceivingly similar) to control the width of the pattern.
Primary patterns in essence only use one cam finger (K thru special) while the other finger controls needle position (A = left, B = center and C = right). Singer clarifies by further grouping these patterns into primary patterns and combination patterns. It is important to note that both cam fingers are in play simultaneously to create a variety of patterns. These settings control two cam fingers that ride on two columns to the left of the internal cam stack. Twenty three type B cams were produced, but the last, a basting stitch cam, only works with the Touch & Sew models. Earlier models, were of the single cam variety, while later models included 'flexi-stitch' patterns which is a fancy name for double cam. The 400, 500, 600 and 700 series machines use the type B, black, top hat, external cams which load directly into the top of the machine. These are fitted to specific classes of machine models.
Singer's external cams were made of bakelite and are called Fashion Discs. These cams are used to produce a variety of functional stitches and decorative patterns.
The 500a is not only zigzag capable, but both externally and internally cam driven.
There is still only one upper tensioner and bobbin thread though, so don't go too wild! The advantages of this configuration are numerous, as it allows you to mix and match different needle sizes for mixing types of thread. Speaking of twin needles, the 500a is double needle capable-meaning you can load two single needles side by side for twin needle sewing.
