[[Image:singer.jpg|left|thumb|350px|Photo courtesy: Bob Reding]]SINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY. The Singer name has become synonymous with the sewing machine and the company has manufactured a vast range of machines for both domestic and industrial purposes.

The company's founder Isaac Singer started making sewing machines in Boston in 1851. In partnership with Edward Clark he formed I. M. Singer & Co. producing industrial machines, the No. 1 with a square bed and the No. 2 with a rectangular bed. It was not until 1857 that the first true domestic machine - the Family machine (Turtle Back) was introduced. This machine was not successful and in 1859 the Letter A was introduced which was manufactured until 1865.

I. M. Singer & Co. was reformed as the Singer Manufacturing Company in 1863 and started production of the New Family machine. This machine propelled the company to the premier position among sewing machine manufacturers able to dominate the market well into the Twentieth Century.
