Machines that join cloth with thread or decorate it with stitching, from the sewing machine, invented during the first Industrial Revolution to sew fabric and other materials together, to the embroidery machine, which makes decorative stitching on fabric by machine. An invention belongs here when the cited article describes it as a machine for sewing or embroidery. It excludes looms, spinning frames and knitting machines, which make the cloth itself rather than join or decorate it.
