Neither Howe nor Singer *invented* sewing machines, although they did make improvements to them in an effort to bolster the sewing industry and create more reliable, effective means of mechanical sewing.

In fact, Singer was even found to have stolen some of his own machines' features from Howe - as decided when Howe's patent was upheld in an infringement case in 1854.
