Answer 1

Answer:

17 July 1830.

Explanation:

The history of the sewing machine is one that would revolutionize the history of productivity. This machine helped piece together materials to make a new and more compatible piece of clothing.

The very first patent for a machine that sews was granted to Thomas Saint in 1790. His design was primarily intended to be used on leather and canvas material but there is no information or record of his design being successfully made. Then, the next patent was granted to a French tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier on 17 July, 1830. This invention would be the main prototype for the modern sewing machine, with a thread and needle combination to create a chain stitch.
