Answer 1

Hint: For sewing or stitching cloth a mechanical driven needle with the machine was invented and known as the sewing machine. The first sewing machine was designed in 1790 but did not successfully advertise.

Complete answer:
Machines use a sewing or threading fabric and materials together known as sewing machines. Machines to be used to swing at home are designed for individual people to sew by themselves. A German-born engineer Charles Frederick Wiesenthal, working in England. In 1755 he patented the first person for mechanical devices to aid the art of sewing and was awarded for it. Then another English Inventor Thomas Saint in 1970 invented the sewing machine, but he failed to advertise and market his invention successfully. Elias Howe Jr. was not the first person who had an idea of the sewing machine or the first person who invented the sewing machine and before him many others invented sewing machines. On 10 September 1846, the United States awarded him a patent for a lockstitch design sewing machine. Three essential features his machine contains which commonly found in the Modern machine of sewing, are a shuttle operating beneath the cloth to form the lock stitch, a needle with the eye at the point, and an automatic feed. Elias Howe faced difficulty to find investors for the invention and making of sewing machines in the United States.

So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: Because there is no marketing for the Charles Frederick Wiesenthal sewing machine there is no solid evidence that he was the first inventor of the sewing machine or that any sewing machine had been made during his time. Elias Howe was also given a contribution in the invention of zippers and was awarded for the " Automatic, Continues Clothing Closure " patent in 1851.
