Early contributors to the invention of the sewing machine included Barthelemy Thimonnier, 1829, (chain stitch), Elias Howe, 1845, (double lock stitch), and John Kaiser, 1882, (zig zag stitch). Following is a brief history of Elna sewing machines and stitches whose development has played a major role in the evolution of the modern household sewing machine.

In the late 1930's a refugee from the Spanish Civil War, Dr. Ramon Casas, approached a Swiss manufacturer and supplier of fine timing mechanismas named Tavaro S. A. with designs he had developed for a sewing machine. Elna sewing machines were developed using Casas' ideas and are still manufactured by Tavaro S. A. in Geneva, Switzerland.
