billybopp Report post Posted January 16, 2020 I came across this article today, and thought it might be of some interest here, particularly for those old iron fans. It covers how the first sewing machines came about, how Singer came to dominate the market, and some of the social changes they brought about. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50673541 Enjoy! - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That does look terrifying! But that's how a lot of stuff was until relatively recently. The folks that designed and sold it trusted people would be smart enough to not put their fingers in the gears. Liability lawsuits weren't a thing. - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
