Singer Timeline
The very first Singer sewing machines were manufactured in New York. This was way back in the mid 1800’s. They sold for $100, which was actually quite a bit of money for the time. By 1853, Singer had done so well it became the leading sewing machine manufacturer and seller in the United States. By 1863, 20,000 home sewing machines were being sold each year! In fact, the company did so well, it opened a branch office in Hamburg, Germany.
In 1889 Singer launched the first practical electric sewing machine. A mere one year later the company claimed to hold 80% of the world’s sewing machine market. By 1900, the were producing 40 different models.
1921 marked a new era of ease for sewers. The "Portable Electric" was introduced. In 1933, the now infamous Singer Featherweight Sewing Machines were introduced at the Chicago's World Fair.
Fast forward to the 1950s... the first zigzag was introduced in 1952. The Executive Office relocated to “30 Rock,” in New York City in 1961.
Ever the leader in innovation, Singer introduced the world's first electronic sewing machine, the Athena 2000 in the year 1975 and the world's first computer-controlled machine in 1978.
