Though Brigham Young warned against buying sewing machines, due to his fear that this would break up the unity developed in sewing circles and also his dislike for money leaving Utah, Mormon women welcomed a tool that could simplify their work or provide means for additional income. Godfrey provides information about early sewing machines, Brigham Young's censure of the machine, as well as the payment, sale, and use of sewing machines in Utah.
