The first patented sewing machine was one by Charles Fredrick Wiesenthal in 1755 but it wasn't that much like the ones we have now. It had a double ended needle that was passed back and forth through the material and grabbed by a mechanism on each side. this sort o mimicked how you sew by hand but it was rather complex .
The first one to use the now common chain stitch was invented by Thomas Saint in 1790, but it was actually intended for sewing leather and canvas - with an awl punching a hole ahead of the needle which then went through the hole with the needle carrying the thread which was looped and moved to the location of the next hole ready for the next penetration of the needle to complete the stitch. It was hardly the version we use now; many additional improvements were needed before a satisfactory model was developed that could be used on a large scale. What we now wold recognize as the modern sewing machine combined many additional innovations around the mid 1800's.

Inventor of the sewing machine?
Whilst there have been many variations of the sewing machine through the years, credit is generally given to Elias Howe. Elias Howe was employed in a machinist's shop, where he had the opportunity to experiment with inventing a sewing machine. He successfully demonstrated his first sewing machine in 1846, and patented his lockstitch sewing machine on 10 September 1846 in New Hartford, Connecticut. Howe faced a legal battle after Isaac Singer invented the up-and-down motion mechanism, and Allen Wilson developed a rotary hook shuttle, both filing for patents. After winning one suit, the three inventors pooled their patent rights in the Sewing Machine Combination. It was under this patent that the sewing machine was then successfully marketed.
