        leaving about two inches of thread stretched out behind .  Then let the needle descend
         (putting the finger on the end of the thread) .  The shuttle  will then pass through fhe
         loop of tile needle thread, and when th,  iiee die ri"-s  it will briny; tlu  ~hutth   till-,'lid  ul,

                THE TENSIONS.
        The tension  should  he  so regulated  a,;   t,j draw  both  threads and  lock them
        together  in the centre  of  tile  fabric, thus



        producing a firm neat, and durable  IIOCK-S, rten, which will neither rip nor ravel, but
       has the same appearance on both sides of tilo tlaterial'whetr-Hewn,  if both threads
        are of proper size, and have tile right amount of tension upon them  .
              If the shuttle thread is very tight *nrl tltc upper thread too  loose, thunder thread
         will be straight, thus

         straight thus   :


        while the under side may look well .  The stitch slmuld he made perfect on both sides.
         It  is, therefore, necessary  to have tile  tension  of  both threads as  nearly  alike as
         possible, and as tight as the threads  will sew without breaking.  The upper  tension
       can be increased or lessened at pleasure by turning the tension thumb nut H (page 3)
        the lower tension by turning the screw  in shuttle to right or left                                                           .

                  Important Improvement  in this Machine .
         When  removing  tile work  fr,on  under tile  machine, immediately  y,ut  lift  the
         presser  bar-foot  lifter yon will  find  that  the thread  or  cotton  in  tile  tension  is
         released, and you call draw the work front under the machine easily without breaking
        the thread or needle .    It  is  always necessary  to leave a few inches of cotton or
         thread when you cut oft  tile work.

             IF THU MACHINI: RUNS  HCAVV,  oil  it  well  with PARAFFIN  Oil., run the
       Machine  tit a quick speed  for a  few minutes,  (lien clean the  paraffin  Oil  off, and
          oil the Machine well with GOOD SPER .%1 Oil. .

  TO REGULATE THE LENGTH OF STITCH .
                F





   By turning the thumb screw G to the left hand, the stitch will be lengthened                                                                  .
   By turning the thumb screw G to the right hand, the stitch will be shortened .
    NOTE.-Be careful not to turn the thumb screw (  too much to the
right hand, or you will stop the feed from  acting and carrying the work
forward.
            MISSED STITCHES
Are caused by the needle being too high or toll low, or the cott"Jo being too  fine for
tire  needle, or  tlu' needle po ;ltt being blunt*oi  Ilaotaged.

instead  of square into the shuttle race .   In that case the needle should be  slightly
turned in an opposite  direction, to counteract  this tendency  to throw the loop away
from  its proper position .
  When using very fine needles, and also when stitching heavy work, be sure that
the point of the needle is perfect, sharp, and not blunted or turned over .
                      It   is  important the  needle  point   is SHARP.
An imperfect needle may cause the best Machine to miss stitches
     BREAKING OF THREAD OR COTTON
Is caused by the needle being put  iotr, the Alachinc  with the short groove on  the
wrong side   ;                                          4r"  hirttl  I1T dill low ;                       t)r  11  6JIl°  IlCyurtp   o    °"' 4

                Or by the thread being too large fr needle eye  ;
                Or   if the needle eye be rough or sharp.
   Be sure that the hole in the needle plate is not rough or damaged, but perfectly
smooth .
    If the hole  , in the needle plate  is rough,   it  is sure  to cause the Machine  to  cut
and break the thread                                                              .
      If THE MACHINE RUNS HEAVY,  oil  it  well  with PARAFFIN  OIL,  run  the
Machine at a quick speed for a few minutes, then Clean the  Paraffin  Oil  off, and
oil  the Machine with GOOD SPERM OIL.
