Then you have the problem of finding these companies as some of them named their sewing machines after the patent and not the usual company name.
White used to be a great sewing machine brand which also produced a top-level sewing machine. Unfortunately, it went out of business when it was bought out by Electrolux. No new White sewing machines have been produced since One of the top companies still in existence is Bernina.
Its family-owned and has been throughout its existence. You can get sewing machines from Bernina or its sub-brand Bernette without any difficulty. But you have to pay a lot of money for their machines. As mentioned, one of the top sewing machine brands is Bernina. It may not have a large share of the sewing machine market but that is because their machines are well made and they cost a lot of money. It is not unheard of to spend thousands on a Bernina sewing machine.
Singer is considered to be the best sewing machine brand. Like Bernina, Singer has been around for over years. What brought Singer to fame was the fact that its founder was the first to create home sewing machines.
Brother sewing machine is also another top brand. Their only drawback is that they make more electronic equipment than sewing machines.
They are well diversified but they still make a quality machine. Janome comes from Japan and has spent decades earning its top ranking as a best sewing machine company. This company was the first to develop the computerized sewing machine. Pfaff , like both Singer and Bernina, has been around since the 19 th century.
They were founded in Germany and have continued a strong tradition of producing top-rated sewing machines ever since. Finally, there is Juki.
Another top Japanese company that markets its sewing machines around the world. Their focus is more on the industrial side of the industry although they do make some good home machines. There may be more top sewing machine brands but these are about the top 5 in the business.

As was stated earlier, there have been a myriad of companies that have come and gone from the sewing machine industry. Here is a short list of those unsuccessful businesses who could not compete in the market at their time:.
There are far too many of these failed attempts to list here. The American list alone comprises of about more than 30 and possibly more than The reason for their lack of success would be due to a variety of mitigating factors and circumstances.
Sometimes it is just poor business that ended their hopes of making it big in the sewing machine industry. Or the bigger more established companies either bought them out or slashed prices so the upstarts could not compete.

That list has the names, the addresses of even the most obscure sewing machine company.
Oh, and Wikipedia is of little help as it does not contain a complete list of all top brands or all sewing machine companies. Sometimes it is hard to get to the different brands and who really owns them. The smaller brands are often created by larger companies in order to sell less quality or more affordable sewing machines. For example, Bernette is owned by Bernina. But that new brand does not make the same quality sewing machines, nor sell them at the same price, as Bernina does.
Their products are targeting the home market where the sewing machines are most used. Not everyone can afford a real Bernina but they can get a good sewing machine through the Bernette.

Something more like a revolution led by teens who dreamt of a sustainable future?

Like many of the great sewers of yore er, the last 3 years , I, too, turned to YouTube for my project.
