Technique

Taken from curatorial worksheet; ref #1: From http://www.singerco.com/company/history+ The Featherweight electric portable sewing machine was introduced in 1933 at the Chicago’s World Fair. It was not the first electric portable sewing machine by Singer. The first one was the 99K model introduced in 1921. Users referred to the 221 and 222 models as the Perfect Portables. The production of the 221 was only made in USA and stopped there in 1957 after more than 1.75 million had been made. The motor is named Simanco motor and was manufactured in Canada. simanco stands for Singer Manufacturing Company. It is a 3-110 model. Isaac Merritt Singer formed I.M. Singer & Company with New York lawyer Edward C. Clark, following Singer's first lockstitch sewing machine patent in 1850. The Singer Sewing Machine is offered for sale all over the United States. Within two years Singer is the leading manufacturer and marketer of sewing machines in the United States. In 1863 the company was incorporated as the Singer Manufacturing Company, holding 22 patents. In 1873, with the official opening of the factory in Elizabethport (closed in 1982), the Singer Manufacturing Company became a New Jersey Corporation under a special charter. Canadian manufacturing began. in 1880, an electric motor was coupled to a sewing machine but the world first practical electric sewing machine began in 1889. In 1882, a factory opened in Montreal, Quebec, Canada but our sewing machine was not produced there. In 1963, the company changed its name to The Singer Company.
