Kayser Sewing Machine

People started sewing as long as 20,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age. The first sewing needles were made of bones or animal horns. Archaeologists have discovered bone needles with eyes, used to sew together skins and furs, dating back to this time.

Earlier, in 1755, Charles Weisenthal, a German inventor, devised the first sewing machine needle, but did not produce a complete machine. In 1790, the first workable sewing machine was invented and patented by the British inventor, Thomas Saint. His machine was meant to be used on leather and canvas. Since then, several inventors had attempted to improve the sewing machines by creating their own "more advance" and practical machines to the world wide.

Well, I didn't get much information about this unique sewing machine from my collection. Just from a very simple research, this type of sewing machine was first invented in Germany from an inventor named John Kayser. The very first German zigzag sewing machine like this were invented in 1882.

Guess what....... This machine is still in a good condition and can still be used perfectly!!! :)
