Walter Hunt was from the state of New York. He was the first to build a working sewing machine, but he didn't patent his invention. He did not want to cause seamstresses to loose their jobs.

Elias Howe was from the state of Massachusetts and invented the first Automatic Sewing Machine. Howe obtained the first patent for the machine.

Both are American inventors from the east coast of United States.
