The Singer sewing machine is one of the most durable and reliable modern sewing tools. All necessary operations are easily performed on it, and the seams turn out flawless even on thick skin, which is especially appreciated in sewing.
An important role in the invention of this device was played by the American Isaac Singer. The sewing machine, which he once accidentally saw, seemed to him far from perfect and little adapted to work. For 11 days of hard work, it was improved by Singer to such a state that it was possible to qualitatively perform the necessary sewing work on it. Until that moment, seamstresses basically all sewed by hand with a needle and thread.
Singer registered his invention and formed the Singer sewing machine company in the United States, and has since spread around the world. Singer sewing machines were produced in Germany in a company that is a subsidiary of an American company. The photo shows one of these cars.
Over one and a half hundred years of its existence, this Singer invention has been improved many times. The modern Singer sewing machine has a huge number of varieties. It can be mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, computer. Electromechanical machines are quite popular. They are convenient to use, have a sufficient number of functions for operation and are inexpensive.
The Singer sewing machine can have more than 400 different operations and the same number of stitches. She knows how to embroider, knit, sew over the edges of sewing and perform many other operations.
Machines differ from each other in the number of functions, the type of shuttle, the variety of lines, the presence of automatic thread tension or threading, the adjustment of the seam stitch length and width of the stitch, the sewing speed, the presence of the double needle sewing function and the platform for the sleeve, and other operations.
The Singer sewing machine has different types of shuttle movement : vertical or horizontal, swing type or rotary (reverse).
Depending on whether you can move the working mechanism with your hands or feet, the Singer sewing machine can be manual or foot. Anklet greatly facilitates the work of the seamstress, freeing her hands to maintain tissue.
Online stores are full of ads for the sale of this sewing equipment. Many are interested in how much the Singer sewing machine costs. The price of the device depends on its characteristics, first of all, on the number of functions performed. You can buy an inexpensive electromechanical machine for less than $ 100. She is able to perform more than 20 operations. Electronic or computer cars can perform more than 400 different operations and cost 3-4 times more expensive.
Old Singer models are now supplanted by new, more advanced ones. They have not yet become a relic, because too bulky, but their time is yet to come. At one time - after the collapse of the Soviet Union - they were very popular. It was believed that one of the internal parts of the first Singer models was made of platinum. Whether this is true or not is unlikely anyone would find out. On the Internet there are ads for the sale of such models for 1000-2000 rubles.
