Plauen and Saurer both launched a 10 size shuttle embroidery machine.
From 1890 to 1906, the shuttle embroidery industry in the United States experienced significant growth, with 143 factories established and 600 shuttle embroidery machines. And most of it is concentrated in Hudson County, New Jersey, because it is close to the clothing industry base in New York. In contrast, Switzerland has 6000 shuttle embroidery machines in use.

Singer Sewing Machine Co. began advertising a six head embroidery machine driven by a scaling device, but stopped producing it in the late 1930s.
