Elias Howe ( July 9 , 1819 – October 3 , 1867 ) was an American Sewing Machine pioneer. He did not invent the sewing machine (that was Charles Fredrick Weisenthal ) but, on September 10 , 1846 , was awarded the first United States Patent for a sewing machine using Lock Stitch , though this was disputed in court in the 1850s , since Walter Hunt had actually invented the lock stitch some years prior, without patenting it. {Link without Title} . Elias grew up in Spencer, MA. |
