Elias Howe. Portrait of Elias Howe (1819-67),an American who invented an early type of sewing machine. Designed in 1845,Howe's machine was the first American design to feature a needle with a hole in it and to utilise a double thread. His design was greatly improved by Isaac Singer in 1851,who then marketed it successfully. Howe sued Singer,claiming his patent had been infringed. After a lengthy litigation battle,Howe was awarded royalties on all sewing machines sold in America from 1854 onwards | |
