The Story of Singer

In 2001 Singer celebrated the 150th anniversary of Isaac M. Singer's patent on the first practical sewing machine, marking the official beginning of Singer as a company. Since its earliest days, Singer has been a world leader, committed to finding innovative ways to make people's lives easier. In addition to the original sewing machine, Singer also introduced the first electric, featherweight, zigzag, and computerized sewing machines. Singer was the first company in any business to offer installment credit to give more people the opportunity to buy Singer products. Throughout its history, Singer has built a reputation for quality and durability. Today, Singer is the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of consumer sewing machines and maintains one of the world's most widely recognized and respected brands.
