![]() ![]() ![]() An antique electric Singer sewing machine may have the motor strapped to the side, as motors did not become standard to the design until more homes had electricity. After the advent of electricity, the sewing world underwent a revolution and Singer was the first to introduce an electric sewing machine in 1889. An antique Singer pedal sewing machine looks like a sewing machine table with the treadle, or foot pedal, that operates the needle. Before electric models, either a hand crank or a treadle operated sewing machines. Singer was extremely prevalent in the late 1800s, and collectors can appreciate the abundance of many different models that prevailed during that era. Sometimes you need a blast from the past, and with an antique Singer sewing machine, you can get a blast all the way back to the 1850s. Cranking the handle, the needle penetrates the fabric only as quickly as you can spin. ![]()
