10 years of development, China's sewing machinery industry has risen rapidly after arduous development, and at one fell swoop to establish the status of the world's sewing machinery power, and sewing machinery manufacturing from the big country to a strong country. From the end of the 1990s to 2007, China's sewing machinery industry has been in the development of high-speed growth, domestic sewing machinery production to 2007 has reached an unprecedented industry "peak". In 2002, the China Sewing Machinery Association released a document at the China International Sewing Machinery Exhibition (CISMA) that year showing an important message ----- that China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of sewing equipment. China has become the largest producer and consumer of sewing equipment in the world. According to the statistics of the Information Center of CISMA, there are nearly 500 sewing equipment and parts manufacturers of various scales in China, with an annual output of 8 million sets of sewing equipment and an annual export of more than 400 million US dollars. During the past 10 years, the scale of China's sewing machinery industry has been expanding. According to statistics, at the end of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", China's annual production of sewing machinery accounted for 71% of the world's total production of sewing machines, to the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", this proportion increased to 80%. Annual output value accounted for by the "Tenth Five-Year" end of 45% to the current 59%, the industry continues to gather to the Chinese mainland, promoting the development and transformation and upgrading of the industry under the ***, the international status and influence has been enhanced. As clothing, bags and other industries on the *** industry, sewing machinery industry is also closely related to improve people's living standards, the realization of a moderately prosperous society. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the industry has experienced waves of development, the first two years to maintain a sustained momentum of faster development, but from 2008 onwards, by the outbreak of the international financial crisis and the industry's own development cycle of adjustment of the double impact of the industry's output and sales and other economic indicators for two consecutive years of a rapid downward trend into the trough of the last 10 years. However, through active response and adjustment, the industry's technological innovation and ability to withstand risks have been enhanced to varying degrees, especially with the gradual rebound of China's economy from the second half of 2009, China's sewing machinery industry since the fourth quarter of that year, has been gradually out of the doldrums and showed a strong, sustained recovery, production and sales scale of the rapid rebound. Especially in 2010, the industry showed a restorative high growth, the annual output value hit a record high, and the output was close to the highest level in the industry's history. At the same time, the pace of structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading has accelerated significantly, and the results are beginning to show. From the point of view of import and export data, in 2011 China's sewing machinery industry import and export trade total exceeded the highest record. According to the General Administration of Customs statistics show that in 2011 China's sewing machine products and parts of the total import and export trade amounted to 2.41 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 21.72% over 2010. Among them: exports of 2.00 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 24.21%; imports of 410 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 4.19%; trade surplus of 1.59 billion U.S. dollars. Industry exports throughout the year to maintain a high level of operation, monthly exports for three consecutive times to refresh the monthly export value of the highest historical record, in July the export value is as high as 205 million U.S. dollars. In 2011, the opening year of the "12th Five-Year Plan", China Sewing Machinery Association (CSMA) identified it as the "Year of Catching Up with Industry Quality", and released the "12th Five-Year Plan of China Sewing Machinery Industry". The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of China Sewing Machinery Industry was released, which pointed out the direction for the industry to realize the sustainable development strategy of a strong country by adhering to the overall development idea of "innovation-driven, transformation and upgrading, stable growth, and quality first". The 12th Five-Year Plan of China's Sewing Machinery Industry shows that as of the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan, there were about 830 sewing machinery manufacturers (including foreign-funded enterprises) in China's sewing machinery industry, of which 620 were sewing machine manufacturers, 620 were non-sewing machine manufacturers, and 620 were non-sewing machine manufacturers. Sewing machine manufacturers (Note: mainly refers to the sewing function in addition to other cloth inspection, cutting, laying, ironing, fusing, needle detection, hanging, laser and other related sewing equipment) of about 210, more than 1,000 parts and components manufacturers, mainly distributed in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shaanxi, and other six major producing areas. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the industry completed a cumulative output of 74.96 million units, output value of 193.5 billion yuan, profits and taxes of 9.26 billion yuan, the cumulative export of 53.929 million units, exports of 7 billion U.S. dollars. During the period of "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the total economic volume of the industry has maintained growth, the quality of economic operation has been improving, the added value of exported products has been rapidly improved, and the average annual economic growth rate has been 11.5%; the product structure adjustment has also made significant breakthroughs, such as the proportion of mechatronic sewing equipments has increased from 2% at the end of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" to 2% at the end of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan". Product structure adjustment has also made significant breakthroughs, such as the proportion of mechatronic sewing equipment rose from 2% at the end of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" to 25.04%, the proportion of computerized flat-seam sewing machines in the total output of flat-seam sewing machines rose from 5% to more than 36.5%, and the proportion of annual output of special industrial sewing machines in the total amount of industrial sewing equipment rose from 3% to 9.5%; the structure of enterprises has also been further optimized.
Failing to enlist corporate support in the U.S. mainland, Howe took his wife and son on a ship to England in 1847.
Two years later, with their pockets even shorter and their prospects even bleaker, the family returned to the U.S. by ship, where they worked as cooks on the voyage in order to avoid having to pay for a ticket. When he returned to New York City, he was surprised to find that many stores were promoting sewing machines that looked exactly like the one he had built, and were selling them for only about $100.
Howe filed lawsuits against the manufacturers, especially another Boston mechanic, Isaac Singer. Singer's design was superior to Howe's, with a straight needle that moved up and down (Howe had a curved needle that moved horizontally), an adjustable presser foot that held the fabric in place so that the machine could sew straight or curved lines for long periods of time, and a foot pedal underneath the machine (Howe's had only a manual rotating wheel).
Singh's machine, however, uses a special stitch that Howe patented. Singh, a flashy and ambitious businessman with no interest in claiming the title of "inventor of the sewing machine", refused to settle with Howe.
He had a wife and two children to support, plus a mistress and six other children. He told his lawyers, "I'm not interested in this invention.
I'm after pennies on the dollar." As Howe's lawsuit dragged on, another American inventor popped up, one who had designed the sewing machine 11 years before Howe.
The inventive Walter Hunt was a genius inventor, with a wide range of inventions, including the safety pin, which he designed in just three hours (and sold the patent for $400 to pay off a $15 debt). Hunter never patented his sewing machine or showed it to outsiders, fearing that it would overwhelm the tailor's trade.
By the time Howe and Singer were embroiled in a legal battle in 1853, Hunter's machine was a rusty heap of junk. The judge presiding over the case ruled that someone else was entitled to the "small fortune" Singh was after, and that "someone else" didn't include Walter Hunt, but Elias Howe certainly did.
For every machine sold, Howe received a royalty. Howe died in 1867 at the age of 48, but during his lifetime, the once-poor machinist received over $4,000 a week in royalties.
He regretted that his wife, his staunchest supporter, who had never doubted the commercial potential of the sewing machine, died before the invention became profitable.
China's earliest exposure to sewing machines dates back to the Song Dynasty, when Huang Daobao brought the advanced weaving technology he had learned to the Song Dynasty, and in the south of the Yangtze River, there were simple weaving wagons to weave cloth, and the weaving wagons were the beginnings of what is now known as the sewing machine.
In modern times, after the industrial revolution in the mid-18th century, the mass production of the textile industry contributed to the invention and development of the sewing machine. 1790, the United States woodworker Thomas? Saitfa first invented the world's first hole, after threading, sewing shoes with a single thread chain stitch hand-crank sewing machine.
In 1841, French tailor B. Timonier invented and manufactured the chain stitch sewing machine with a hook for the needle. 1851, American machinist I.
M. Katsushika invented the lockstitch sewing machine and founded the Katsushika Company.
Sewing machines of this period were basically hand-cranked. A sewing machine is a machine that uses one or more sewing threads to form one or more stitches on a piece of sewing material so that one or more layers of the material are interlaced or sewn together.
Sewing machines can sew cotton, linen, silk, wool, man-made fibers and other fabrics and leather, plastic, paper and other products, sewing out of the stitching uniform and beautiful, flat and strong, sewing speed, easy to use. The current sewing machine is probably divided into industrial sewing machines and home sewing machines, here mainly say home sewing machines, industrial sewing machines for ordinary families use very little.
How long has the development of sewing machines been going on
After the industrial revolution in the middle of the 18th century, the mass production of the textile industry contributed to the invention and development of the sewing machine.
It has been reported that in 1755 the Germans registered sewing machine patents in the United Kingdom, but the lack of evidence, in 1790, the British woodworker ThomasSaint first invented the world's first hole, then threading, sewing shoes with a single thread chain stitch hand-cranked sewing machine. 1841, the French tailor B-Thimoniye ( BarthelemyThimonnier) (also known as Barthelemy-Dimonnier) invented and manufactured the machine needle with hook chain stitch sewing machine.
In 1845, Elias Howe (aka Elias Howe) also independently invented the sewing machine, Elias Howe Elias Howe In 1851, the American machinist I.M. Katsushika (aka Lechak Merritt Katsushika) invented the lockstitch sewing machine and founded Katsushika. Sewing machines of this period were basically hand-cranked.
How the invention of the sewing machine is remembered in historyA sewing machine is a machine that interweaves or sews together one or more layers of material with one or more threads.
The invention of the sewing machine greatly reduced the burden of housework on women and also had a significant impact on clothing styles from the 1860s onwards. Because of it, the making of clothing became easier and more elaborate.
In 1790, St. Thomas of England invented the single-thread chain stitch hand crank sewing machine for sewing boots and shoes. The body of this sewing machine was made of wood and some parts were made of metal, it was the first sewing machine in the world.
In 1841, the French B ? In 1841, B. Timonier of France designed and manufactured a practical double-thread chainstitch sewing machine, and in 1846, Elias Howe of the United States designed and manufactured the curved lockstitch sewing machine. In 1846, Elias Howe of the United States patented the curved lockstitch sewing machine.
In 1851, American machinist Isaac Shengjia independently designed and built a sewing machine. In 1851, the American mechanic Isaac Shengjia independently designed and manufactured a sewing machine with a sewing speed of 600 stitches per minute. Since then, the sewing machine began to be used in large quantities for production, and gradually increased the nail button, lock buttonhole, reinforcement, embroidery and other functions.
Specialized industrial sewing machines are more widely used, and the sewing speed is getting faster and faster. Flat seam sewing machine is the use of needle, shuttle two sewing threads to form a lock stitch industrial sewing machine, can sew two or more layers of sewing material, or in the sewing material on the sewing decorative stitch.
It is the most basic type of industrial sewing machine, and its double thread lockstitch is the strongest of all types of stitch, so it is very widely used. The lockstitch sewing machine consists of a machine head, a table plate and a frame.
The 400-watt clutch motor is mounted on the bottom of the table plate, and its drive wheel and the upper wheel of the head is connected with a triangular tape, and the pedal on the machine is pressed down to control the tightness of the clutch, which can be used to obtain different sewing speeds. 1975, the Americans invented the Athina 2000 model of multifunctional sewing machines for home use, which are controlled by a micro-computer.
In 1992, the Japanese company Hisasaki introduced a new type of home computerized sewing machine. This sewing machine can automatically adjust the amount of thread delivery according to the thickness of the cloth, and the bright thread can lead the dark thread to the opposite side.
In addition, there is also a sewing machine system that can automatically set the sewing conditions according to the texture of the fabric, which has changed the previous way of sewing based on the operator's own feelings, and avoided sewing failures caused by setting errors.
History of the development of industrial sewing machines
10 years of development, China's sewing machinery industry after arduous development of the rapid rise of the world's sewing machinery at one fell swoop to establish the status of a major sewing machinery country, and sewing machinery manufacturing power to the strong country.
From the end of the 1990s to 2007, China's sewing machinery industry has been in a rapid growth stage of development, the domestic production of sewing machinery products to 2007 has reached an unprecedented industry "peak". In 2002, the China Sewing Machinery Association (CSMA) released a document at the China International Sewing Machinery Exhibition (CISMA) that year, showing an important message ----- that China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of sewing equipment. The largest producer and consumer of sewing equipment in the world.
According to the statistics of the Information Center of CISMA, there are nearly 500 sewing equipment and parts manufacturers in China, with an annual output of 8 million units of sewing equipment, and an annual export of more than 400 million US dollars. During the past 10 years, the scale of China's sewing machinery industry has been expanding.
According to statistics, at the end of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", the annual output of sewing machinery in China accounted for 71% of the world's total production of sewing machines, to the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", this proportion increased to 80%. Annual output value accounted for by the "Tenth Five-Year" end of 45% to the current 59%, the industry continues to gather to the Chinese mainland, promoting the development and transformation and upgrading of the industry under the ***, the international status and influence has been enhanced.

The historical significance of the sewing machineAfter the invention of the sewing machine, DiMaurier opened a garment factory with 80 sewing machines, and when France marched into Algeria at that time, it needed large quantities of uniforms. The company's ability to produce quickly led to a large number of orders.
In the face of unemployment, a large number of handmade seamstresses felt a great sense of inexplicable crisis, lost their heads, rushed into the "DiMaurier" garment factory wreaked havoc, destroyed all the sewing equipment, so that the DiMaurier had to shut down production. When the American "Singer sewing machine" was launched in 1844, the world regarded it only as an ornamental piece of decoration; the Singer company, which was familiar with the business operation, put forward the business model of monthly "installment payment", and widely solicited customers and made great achievements.
Later, the company set up factories in Canada, France, Germany, Britain and other countries, by 1877, the British alone sold "Shengjia brand sewing machine" in as many as 160 stores. As a result, the garment industry in western countries expanded rapidly, while the livelihood of hand tailors was on the verge of bankruptcy.
From the history of the Sewing Machine, we can also observe the process of modernization in Europe. From serving the military, ready-made clothes became a commodity that could be consumed by the general public, and the society of the common people, like the military, was integrated into the modern management system, which standardized the human being. From the previous manual to the present day automation, the sewing machine has gone through a lot of changes, which is also reflecting the evolution of the apparel industry. But today is not about the apparel industry, but a summary of the history of sewing machines.
In 1890, China introduced the first sewing machine from the United States.
In 1905, Shanghai first began to manufacture sewing machine parts and accessories, and established a number of small workshops for the production of parts and accessories.
In 1928, the first 44-13 industrial sewing machine was produced by Shanghai Xiechang Sewing Machine Factory. In the same year, Shanghai Shengmei Sewing Machine Factory also produced the first sewing machine for home use.
Before 1949, the production of sewing machines in old China was very low, with less than 4,000 units per year, and the sewing equipment market was mainly monopolized by the American Shengjia Company.
In 1949, after the founding of New China, the sewing machinery industry was fully developed, and the industry went through the stage of reorganization, transformation, public-private partnership, merger and cooperation, and a reasonable division of labor, forming a number of backbone enterprises: such as Shanghai's Cut, Chang, Huigong, Flying Man, Butterfly and Tianjin Sewing Machine Factory, as well as Guangzhou's South China Sewing Machine Factory, and other sewing machine manufacturers, which mainly produce ordinary household sewing machines and low-grade industrial sewing machines. They mainly produced general household sewing machines and low-grade industrial sewing machines.
At the end of the 1950s, the light industry for domestic sewing machines, generalization, standardization, unified design drawings, improve the compatibility of parts and components, so that the sewing machine manufacturers continue to increase, and according to the needs of the development of sunflower fans, medical and surgical, badminton, bicycle tires, and cordura splicing and other special-purpose sewing machines. According to statistics.
As of 1980 the country **** there are 56 sewing machine manufacturers, distributed in 22 provinces and cities. As of 1982, China's production of sewing machines reached 12.86 million units, ranking first in the world.
By the mid-1980s, with the continuous adjustment of the market and consumer structure, the product structure of sewing equipment in the medium and low-speed industrial sewing machines on the basis of high-speed, serialized direction of development, electronics, computer technology has also been widely used in sewing machines. At the same time, China has also completed the establishment of the parts and components supporting system and constructed a huge sewing machine sales network. Part of the sewing machine enterprises in the introduction of foreign advanced technology, digestion and absorption of advanced technology.
In the early 90s, international famous enterprises entered China one after another and set up joint ventures and wholly-owned enterprises in China.
In the late 90s, private enterprises began to rise, and the great adjustment of industrial structure promoted the great development of the industry, which generally formed 6 major production areas and bases, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Tianjin and Guangzhou.
