Singer was bought out by an off-shore company that has used the Singer name to sell inferior machines. As a result, a lot of the old, original Singers with metal gears sell used for $300 - $400 or greater. The newer Singers use plastic gears, and are not as well made, nor made with as strong metals. At about that time, there was a great desire among customers to buy the Swiss and Swedish machines - Husqy, Bernina, Elna, Viking, and so on, because they were (are) extremely well made - like the older Singers.

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.There have been a number of other dates and places when variations of the sewing machine have been developed. They include:English inventor and cabinet maker, Thomas Saint, who was issued the first patent for a complete machine for sewing in 1790. It's unclear if he ever built it or just patented it in lieu. A replica built from his plans failed to work.In 1810 German inventor Baltasar Krems invented a machine for sewing hats. The lack of a patent means the true facts of dates will never be known.In Austria, Josef Madersperger was granted patent rights in 1815 for a machine he had been perfecting since 1807. In 1841 he was awarded a bronze medal for his sewing machine, but no manufacturer was prepared to develop it. He is still regarded by Germany as the true inventor of the sewing machine.The first functioning sewing machine was invented by the French tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier, in 1830. Unfortunately like the riots of the Luddites in England the French Tailors rioted and burnt his factory to the ground.In 1834, Walter Hunt built America's first successful sewing machine. Singer in the 1850s, built the first commercially successful machine using the lock stitch which was already patented.
