John Duncan (weaver) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Duncan (weaver) John Duncan (fl. 1800–1818) was a Scottish weaver who wrote an authoritative book about weaving in 1808. ==Biography==
John Duncan came from Glasgow, but nothing has so far been found about his ancestry. He was the inventor of a patent tambouring machine (Patent No 2769, of 1804). This was an early sewing machine,〔E. F. Carter, ''Dictionary of Inventions & Discoveries'' (1969), p. 161; (archive.org ).〕 for "raising flowers, figures and other ornaments on muslins, lawns, silks, woollens, or mixed cloths".〔Quoted in Harte, N. B., "On Rees's Cyclopaedia as a source for the History of the Textile Industries in the early Nineteenth Century", ''Textile History'', Vol 5, 1974 pp 119-127〕 Duncan may have used the chain stitch, which was employed for tambour lace, as was later done by Barthélemy Thimonnier. Sometimes Duncan's invention has been described as the first embroidering machine; as with other pioneering machines of the period, it was unsuccessful.
