The early history of the sewing machine was a contentious one. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, three different inventors simultaneously came up with designs. One died young and penniless after pouring his entire lifesavings into a prototype. Another started a factory only to have it destroyed by angry French tailors afraid of his invention. A third produced no working model, despite being the first patent-holder.

Ten Ten is the name of a closed sewing machine repair shop in Chinatown.
