In 1850, Isaac Merritt Singer, whose name was to become synonymous with sewing machines, made his first machine, Singer combined technical ability with marketing flair, but he did not lack capable rivals, among them Allen B. Wilson. As a result, the manufacture and use of sewing machines grew rapidly in North America and Europe, including Britain. From that point on, there was no looking back... 'THE END' .....No my dears, our tale doesn't end so quickly!

If you would like a run of the mill biography on Isaac Singer, I suggest you look HERE...it's very interesting, but there is far more of a story for the telling....one of mystery, intrigue, power and corruption, culminating in arguably the most complicated bancrupcy in history, involving 11 different countries...

...I could try to recount this remarkable story in my own words, but this isn't really my tale to tell and I doubt I could do it justice,  so I shall leave you with one far better qaulified to do so....

you have my word, you will never view the humble sewing machine the same again!
