Featured Puzzle: Stitches #3 – Rev Up Your Sewing Machine!
Today in 1790, Great Britain issued Patent #1764 to Thomas Saint for the very first sewing machine design.

That happened in 1874, thanks to William Newton Wilson, who discovered the old patent, built it, and proved it worked. To honor the day, let’s sew some Stitches!
