There were so many geniuses who invented the sewing machine as we know it today. This is very interesting. Quite a war with lawsuits and companies merging and so on and so forth. Enjoy.
How very interesting, so glad they did continue to fine tune the sewing machine to what we have today! They probably never dreamt of a computerized one though:))) my machine is currently being serviced so no sewing for me at present!
Welcome! As the daughter of a gifted sewist and crafter, I spent my childhood in a home brimming with paintbrushes and sewing notions. Thank you so much for making Sewing With Trudy a part of your day. Enjoy your visit.
