At Davison, we recognize the innovation that has taken place over the centuries to make sewing what it is today. The first sewing needles, made of bones or animal horns,\u00a0evolved into iron needles in the 14th century, followed by the first eyed needles in the 15th century. As seen throughout history, technology and innovation have revolutionized how we work. For sewers, it was the mass production of the Singer sewing machine &#8212; an invention where the needle moved up and down rather than side-to-side. Another breakthrough was Singer\u2019s invention of a foot treadle (pedal) that powered the machine, unlike the previous hand-cranked machines.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2118\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/1050_NSM10_SewaNew_med-150x76.jpg\" alt=\"September Sewing Month\" width=\"150\" height=\"76\" \/>While often associated with clothing, sewing is also used in shoemaking, bookbinding, and the manufacture of sporting goods. As the fundamental process underlying textile arts and crafts, sewing has grown into a major market. From pins to bobbins to scissors and storage organizers, there are many products\u00a0available that make tasks easier, improve results and add to the enjoyment of sewing.<\/p>\n<p>At Davison, we have contributed to that market with several innovative new products:<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2154 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/prods_prymbobbin2.jpg\" alt=\"Better Bobbin Winder\" width=\"120\" height=\"107\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/products\/crafts-hobbies\/better-bobbin\/\">Better Bobbin <\/a>\u2013 a bobbin winder we developed for a client that fills bobbins from various sizes of thread spools with no need to unthread the machine\u00a0needle or use an additional spool.
