Bean\u00e2\u0080\u0099s machine made a running stitch by feeding the fabric between the teeth of a series of gears and onto a threaded bent needle. Turning the crank-handle from left to right moves the gearing in a similar motion to a crimping machine. The stationary crooked needle lays in a groove in the gears, with a point at one end and an eye at the other. A wooden screw clamp secures the machine to the worktable."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "This invention was similar to Greenough\u00e2\u0080\u0099s in making a running stitch, but the approach was different. Bean\u00e2\u0080\u0099s method, like Greenough\u00e2\u0080\u0099s, was yet another attempt to emulate hand sewing. Although Bean\u00e2\u0080\u0099s running stitch machine had little commercial success, small inexpensive machines were later sold in the 1860s for household use based on this principle. It remained for Elias Howe, three years later, to patent a sewing machine using a lockstitch that functioned differently from the movements of hand sewing."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "name": [{"label": "inventor", "content": "Bean, Benjamin W."}], "publisher": [{"label": "Related Publication", "content": "Janssen, Barbara Suit.
