The quilting gauge No. 25811 is a valuable help in pro ducing absolutely parallel seams and in quilting tea cosies and childrens quilts, and is indispensable for sewing blouses, childrens dresses and similar articles with elastic thread.

The bulk of the material is pushed on with the left hand as the hem is sewn. This neDs in evenly feeding the fabric into the hemmer. To ovoid ugly corners at the end ot the hem, retard the feeding of[...]

Lay both pies togetner so that rhe face s:des are opposed and the top ply is short of the bottom ply by about /32 of an inch. Then, similar to feeding the mceriol into the hemmer, both plies are inserted into the felling foot with the right hand. Make sure that only the under materidf will be folded over he top piece and sewn on evenly. If too much[...]

Having completed the first seam, open out the pli and smooth the seam. Then insert the seam ridge into the felling foot an stitch ii down to the left. (Fig. 24). The lap seam thus made is exceedingly durable an looks very neat. Neither ply can creep ahead of tI other in this operation. 18. Embroiderng and Darning Remove the presser foot and lower t[...]

Heavyweight fabrics need not be placed in a hoop if the Darning Attachment is applied. Note that the presser bar has to be suspended by means of hook S also when using the Darning Attach ment.

Remember that “a stitch in time saves nine” and rein force spots that hove worn thin in lightweight materials with short stitches which are made with the machine running at high speed. Holes in heavier fabrics ore mended by underlaying a piece of thin fabric in a matching color. Three-corner tears and rips are darned by taking close stitches le[...]

Larger holes are mended by inserting patches of self- material. Cut the patch to fit the squared hole exactly and attach it to the material by stitching back and forth across each edge of the patch. For very large holes, the patches are cut larger than the hole and stitched to the material in the usual manner. 19. The Feed Cover Plate No. 25997 For[...]

To do this, open the bed plate slide, slip hook a of the plate into hole b in the needle plate as shown in Fig. 28, and turn the plate over so that it covers the machine feed. (Fig. 29).
