Imbali yoomatshini bokunitha abajikelezayo, isukela emva ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane ye-16. Oomatshini bokuqala bokunitha babesenziwa ngesandla, yaye akuzange kube yinkulungwane ye-19 apho kwaveliswa umatshini wokunitha ojikelezayo.
Ngo-1816, umatshini wokuqala wokunitha ojikelezayo wenziwa nguSamuel Benson. Umatshini wawusekelwe kwisakhelo sesetyhula kwaye wawuquka uthotho lwamagwegwe anokuthi ahanjiswe ngeenxa zonke kwisangqa sesakhelo ukuvelisa ukunitha. Umatshini wokunitha ojikelezayo wawuluphuculo olubonakalayo ngaphezu kweenaliti zokunitha ezibanjwa ngesandla, njengoko zinokuvelisa amaqhekeza amakhulu kakhulu elaphu ngesantya esikhawulezayo.
Kwiminyaka elandelayo, umatshini wokunitha ojikelezayo waphuhliswa ngakumbi, kunye nokuphuculwa kwesakhelo kunye nokongezwa kweendlela ezinzima ngakumbi. Ngo-1847, umatshini wokuqala wetricoter cercle waphuhliswa nguWilliam Cotton eNgilani. Lo matshini wawukwazi ukuvelisa iimpahla ezipheleleyo, kuquka iikawusi, iiglavu, kunye neekawusi.
Ukuphuhliswa koomatshini bokunitha be-setyhula kwaqhubeka kuyo yonke inkulungwane ye-19 neye-20, kunye nenkqubela phambili ebalulekileyo kubugcisa boomatshini. Ngomnyaka we-1879, umatshini wokuqala okwazi ukuvelisa ilaphu le-ribbed waqulunqwa, owavumela ukuba kubekho iindidi ezininzi kwiingubo eziveliswayo.
Ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20, isetyhula ye-máquina de tejer yaphuculwa ngakumbi nokongezwa kolawulo lwe-elektroniki. Oku kwavumela ukuchaneka okukhulu kunye nokuchaneka kwinkqubo yokuvelisa kwaye kwavula amathuba amatsha kwiindidi zeempahla ezinokuthi ziveliswe.
Kwisiqingatha sokugqibela senkulungwane yama-20, kwaveliswa oomatshini bokunitha bekhompyutha, nto leyo eyavumela ukuchaneka okukhulu nokulawula inkqubo yokunitha. Aba matshini banokucwangciswa ukuba bavelise uluhlu olubanzi lwamalaphu kunye neepateni, nto leyo ebenza baguquguquke ngokumangalisayo kwaye babe luncedo kwishishini lempahla yamalaphu.
Namhlanje, oomatshini bokunitha abajikelezayo basetyenziselwa ukuvelisa uluhlu olubanzi lweendwangu, ukusuka kwiingubo ezintle, ezilula ukuya kwiimpahla ezinzima, ezixineneyo ezisetyenziswa kwiimpahla zangaphandle. Zisetyenziswa kakhulu kwishishini lefashoni ukuvelisa impahla, kunye nakwishishini lamalaphu asekhaya ukuvelisa iingubo, iibhedi, kunye nezinye iimpahla zasekhaya.
Ukuqukumbela, uphuhliso lomatshini wokunitha ongqukuva kube yinkqubela phambili ebalulekileyo kushishino lwempahla elukiweyo, evumela ukuveliswa kwamalaphu akumgangatho ophezulu ngesantya esikhawulezayo kakhulu kunokuba kwakunjalo ngaphambili. Uphuhliso oluqhubekayo lwetheknoloji emva komatshini wokunitha ojikelezayo luye lwavula amathuba amatsha kwiindidi zeelaphu ezinokuveliswa, kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba le teknoloji iya kuqhubeka iguquka kwaye iphucule kwiminyaka ezayo.
