1857 Brit. Patent 2688 (1858) It [sc. a diagonal needle in a sewing-machine] immediately becomes a simple looper to take the thread from the vertical needle. By the looper working in a diagonal direction to the line of feed, the loop of thread is so spread open that the needle in its next descent passes through it.

1891 19th Cent. 941 In 1880 a machine called the ‘looper’ was invented. Note. The looper is the shuttle of a double-thread sewing-machine, which holds the under thread.

b. An implement for looping strips together in making rag-carpets.

3. Aeronautics. One who loops the loop, or who has done so; a machine specially adapted for looping the loop.
