Singer Sewing Machines

About Vintage Singer Sewing Machines

The first Singer sewing machine was made by Isaac Merritt Singer in 1850, and was revolutionary because it used a straight needle moving up and down to create even stitches. Singer soon became the largest sewing machine maker in the world, and its machines have been highly sought by collectors ever since.
