TO THE JOBBER AND EXPORT TRADE.
For large jobbers, or for the export trade where orders are for one
hundred or more machines at a time, we ship securely and compactly
boxed, so that in transportation charges a large saving is obtained.
In this manner of shipping, as before stated, all the work is carefully
inspected; the heads of the machines have each been tested in sewing,
and are boxed by themselves, whilst the stands are taken apart and
shipped in as small and compact shape as possible. Consequently,
for the information of this class of trade, we submit and call attention
to our first illustration-IHE STAND-and explanation as how to set
it up properly.
In the hrst place, remove the nuts 08-08 and cones 09-09 from
the treadle rod 72 and slide the treadle 71 on the rod with a cone on
each side of the treadle.
The stud and cones upon which the balance wheel revolves are
firmly secured to the right hand leg.Remove the end cone by
loosening the small set screw and unscrew the outside cone. Place
the balance wheel in position as shown in illustration, page 2, then
replace the end cone and turn it up until the balance wheel revolves
easilv and steadily. Tighten the set screw to keep it in place, (be
careful not to get too tight or too loose); next attach pitman No. 65
to balance-wheel, then the dress-guard to right hand leg No. 64.
Having thus put together these disconnected parts, it is an easy
matter for a beginner to determine their relative positions by refer-
ence to the cut.do represents the brace. The left hand and the
right hand legs are connected to the brace by screws as shown in cut.
55 represents a wooden pin in table for machine to rest on when
urned back for oiling; this pin is taken out of the table and packed
with the stand when it is shipped in boxes.
To have the machine run extraordinary light the greatest care
must be exercised in setting up the stand WorK. Everything must
be true and in one.
Be sure that vou have the wood work placed upon the stand so
that the belt does not rub against it, and also so that it does not rub
against the balance-wheel of the machine.
If the stand rests upon the floor in an uneven manner, and the
floor is level, it is evident that the stand is not properly set up; in
which case loosen the screws and nuts and place thestana in iTS
proper position, and gradually tighten its connections.
Place the Rubber Head lacks in marked places in tront of the
table before you connect tre machine read, Dy is midges, to the
table
To prevent noise, no part of the machine should touch the wood work,
but the machine head should rest entirely upon the Rubber Head Tacks.View original page 4Page 5 · Read text
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING THE
WHITE SEWING MACHINE,
THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
MANUFACTURED BY THE
WHITE SEWING MACHINE COMPANY,
CLEVELanD, O., U.S. A.
At a very. large expense, we have had the White Sewing
Machine explicitly illustrated, and within the following pages we
submit these illustrations with such explanations as will enable any-
one, with little or no experience, to readily understand, and satisfac-
torily work the machine. All we ask is that you will carefully read
and follow these directions, and you can confidently rest assured that
you will find yourself the possessor of the best Sewing Machine in the
World.
Before the machine leaves our factory, it has undergone a minute
inspection, and every mechanical defect corrected; it has been
thoroughly tested as to its perfect sewing qualities, and found satis-
factor in every respect.
It is a matter of fact, that any and all machinery will become
worn sooner or later by constant use, and while the wear in the
"WHITE" will be imperceptible for many years, we have so constructed
our machine, that any 6ost motion" can be taken up in a few
moments, and the parts kept in their proper position for an indefinite
length of time.
Operators are cautioned not to attempt to adjust the machine,.
unless its sewing qualities are impaired, and not then unless they are
perfectly familiar with its principles and mechanism.
Any unskilled person attempting to adjust or repair any machine
will often do greater injury than years of ordinary wear could produce.View original page 5Page 6 · Read text
THE TREADLE MOVEMENT.
WE CLAIM AN IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN TREADLES, BY
ALLOWING "ROOMY" SPACE FOR THE FEET SO THAT THE OPERATOR
IS NOT CRAMPED UP" BY THE USE OF BOTH FEET. Physicians will
acknowledge the advantages of this improvement, and tell you that
nearly all the diseases contracted by seamstresses and working girls
in the use of the sewing machine arise from the cramped position in
which they have been compelled heretofore to sit and place their feet
upon so little space, and from the fact that the majority o sewing
machines run too heavy.
These Objections are Removed in the White Sewing Maohine.
The treadle movement should be thoroughly learned, so that the
operator can readily revolve the balance-wheel by means o the
treadie with either loot.
Remove the belt irom the balance wheel and place your leet on
the treadle directly over the treadle rod, then take hold of the balance
wheel and turn it toward you, allowing the feet to move freely with
the motion thus commenced. and continue this motion b an alter-
nate pressure of the heel and toe until a regular and easy motion is
obtained.
Do not attempt to learn anything else until you are proficient in
the use of the treadle, so that you can start it and stop it without
ever turning it in the wrong direction.
TO OPERATE THE MACHINE.
Having become perfectly familiar with the treadle movement,
now replace the belt and connect the fly-wheel of the machine with
the balance wheel of the stand; raise the presser foot with the lever,
remove the slide over the shuttle and take out the shuttle; then start
the fly wheel of the machine towards you and continue the motion
thus imparted, with the feet, as per iustructions given above.
After becoming expertly proficient in this motion and without
the shuttle in or the machine threaded, place a piece of cloth between
the feed and the presser foot; let the presser foot down upon it and
operate the machine in this way until you are accustomed to guiding
the material in whatever direction you might desire.
NOTE. - Do not run the machine with the presser foot down on
the reed and no cloth between the two
Do not pull the cloth to or from you in such a manner as to bend
the needle.
Do not undertake to do practical sewing, but practice upon strips
of cloth until you can produce a regular motion of the machine and
guide the work as you wishView original page 6Page 7 · Read text
To Set the Needle.
Raise the needle-bar to its highest point and pass the shank of
the needle up into the hole in the needle-bar as far as you can push
it, with the long groove of the needle turned precisely toward the
left; then fasten securely with the needle screw.
1o sew extraordinary heavy goods, it may be necessory to lower the
needle a very little.
The needle, when descending, should pass central in the needle
hole from front to rear, but a little nearer to the right than to the
left of the hole, as it prevents the needle from glancing into the race
and being caught by the shuttle; if properly set, the point of the
shuttle should enter the largest part of the loop formed with the
threaa.
NEEDLES AND THREAD TO BE USED.
The most important consideration is to buy and use perfect
needles--not bent, nor blunt points.. WE PARTICULARLY REQUEST
OUR DEALERS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS TO BUY THEIR NEEDLES AND
OIL FROM US.
The size of the needle should conform to the size of the thread,
and both be suitable to the material sewed. Use as fine a needle as
will permit the thread to pass freely through the eye.
A No. I needle may be used for all kinds of ordinary family sew-
ing, where thread from numbers 50 to 00 is used; there is seldom a
necessity of using a coarser cotton than No. 30, because every stitch
made by a sewing machine is just double as strong as one made by
hand. In general sewing use the same size of thread above and below.
The following index will show the size of needle, thread and silk
to used.

For Leather, use a twist pointed needle.
SKIPPING STITCHES AND BREAKING THREAD is an unheard com-
plaint when the genuine " WHITE" needle is used. The market is full
of needles of an inferior quality--made to sell cheap--and as an induce-
ment for every owner of a WHITE to use it satisfactorily, (which can
only be done by the use of a good needle) we will mail one dozen
needles, with postage prepaid, on receipt of 40 centsView original page 7Page 9 · Read text
To Fill the Bobbins with Thread.
NEVER USE GLAZED THREAD ON THE BOBBIN.
27 represents the Bobbin Winder, which is fastened. firmly to
the arm of the machine. Place the spool of thread on spool standard
2, and fasten the end of the thread between the end of the bobbin
and the bobbin winder shaft, and put the other end of the bobbin in
the bobbin winder, then place the leather band behind the small
wheel on the bobbin winder and in its groove, then turn clutch 46
out from notch 45 on fly-wheel, and proceed to work the machine as
in sewing, guiding the thread evenly with the left hand until the
bobbin is nearly or quite full. By this device the operator can wind
bobbins without running the entire machine, or without removing
the attachments or disturbing the garment sewed.
THREAD.
Do not use poor thread. You must not expect to make a nice, smooth
stitch with cheap, uneven thread. Clarke's or Willimantic six cord spool
cotton is the best, and we will hil all orders for it promptly, by mail or
express, on receipt of price, viz: 6o cents per dozen spools.
KEEP THE MACHINE WELL OILED.
If the machine is dirty or gummed up with poor oil, clean it off by the
use ot spirits of turpentine or kerosene, then wipe dry and apply fine sperm
oil in the places indicated by the word or in the illustration on page 2.
Keep the inside working parts thoroughly oiled. In addition to the oil
holes, the upper part of the machine should be carefully oiled on the needle
bar and slot in face on side from you; also in hole in face onside
toward you with needle at its lowest point, also the bearings of the bobbin
winder should be kept constantiy oiled. To oil the under side, slip the
belt off the balance-wheel and turn the machine back on its hinges, and
oil all the places indicated by the numbers I9, 20, 22, 44, on page 7.
Use only the best quality of sperm oll, and whenever you oil the ma
chine, work it a little to distribute the oll, and then, 'aiter standing a iew
moments, take a soft cloth and clean the superfluous oil from the japanned
parts of the machine, also from the needle bar. The shuttle race is pro.
vided with a cup alled with waste. Keep this waste slightly moistened with
oil, which will keep the shuttle and its race lubricated all that is necessary
THE IRON STAND.
Oil should be distributed frequently upon the treadle cones at 6g and
upon the balance-wheel cones on ends of stud No. 63; and upon the
pitman connections at 62 and 66. (See page 2)View original page 9Page 10 · Read text
THE TENSION.
Fig. 19 represents
an enlarged view of
the upper tension.
The arrows A-B-C-D
indicate the direction
of the thread as it
passes from the spool
to the needle. Fig.6
represents the ten-
sion nut. By turn-
ing it to the right
tightens the tension
Fig. 19
on the upper thread;
by turning to the left loosens the tension. When the stitching
shows the under thread drawn through on top of the fabric, the
tension on the shuttle thread is too loose, or the tension on the up-
per thread is too tight; if it shows the upper thread drawn through
on the under side of the fabric, it indicates that the tension is too
tight on the shuttle thread, or too loose on the upper thread.
TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF STITCH.
12 represents the Feed Screw. By turning it to the right you
shorten the stitch; by turning it to the left you lengthen the stitch.
TO THREAD THE MACHINE.
SEE CUT ON PAGE ?
Place the spool of thread on the spool standard 2, pass the
thread as at 11 (in above cut) behind check spring 1, thence around
the tension wheel 3, then through thread guide 51 on top of face
plate, then through the eyelets respectively at top and bottom of
take-up 52, then through threaded guide 53, and thence through
the eye of the needle.View original page 10Page 11 · Read text
TO THREAD THE SHUTTLE.
The Shuttle of the White Sewing Ma-
chine is acknowledged to be the least
complicated of any in the market.

tion and the shuttle is threaced ready
for use.
In all cases the thread must pass out under latch I!
Figure 5 1s The shuttle tension screw. To obtain a tight ten-
sion on shuttle thread turn this screw to the right; for a light tension
turn screw to the left.
We claim a decided advantage over many other machines in the
control of our shuttle tension, as it is so arranged we can increase
or decrease it without removing the shuttle from the machine or
disarranging the work
To open the latch, press slightly against it and open.
To Remove the Shuttle.
Open the front shuttle slide to take the shuttle from the machine.
Do not undertake to turn the machine back for oiling with the
rear shuttle slide partly pulled out.View original page 11Page 12 · Read text
TO COMMENCE WORK.
In threading the needle and shuttle respectively, you should leave
an end of thread about two inches in length to each. Hold the end
of the upper thread loosely in the left hand, and with the right hand
gently revolve the fly-wheel until the needle passes to its lowest point
and returns, when if it is set properly, a loop will be formed through
which the shuttle will pass, and, as the needle ascends, it will draw
up the lower or shuttle thread. Now see that the shuttle slides are
both closed over the shuttle, and the machine is ready for practical
operation.
TO REMOVE THE WORK.
Stop the machine with the needle at its highest point; raise the
presser-foot with the lifter which slackens the upper thread; then
take hold of your work with your left hand and pull it directly from
you, keeping the top thread in the slot of the presser-foot, which will
prevent bending the needle. Cut the threads close to the cloth,
which will leave the ends projecting from needle and shuttle pre-
paratory to commencing work again.
EXPLANATION OF DIFFICULTIES
That Sometimes Occur with Beginners.
If the upper thread breaks, it may be caused by the needle not
being properly set, or the machine not threaded correctly, or the
upper tension too tight, or the thread uneven and the needleTOO
small for it, or the needle eye too sharp, or the presser-foot attached
to the machine so that the needle rubs it in passing
If the under thread breaks, it may be caused by the shuttle being
improperly threaded, or too much tension upon it, or by the bobbin
being wound too full so that the thread slips over the ends of the
bobbin in the shuttle, or by the thread being caught in the shuttle
slides.
If the needle breaks, it is more than likely your own fault, caused
by pulling the goods to or from you in such a manner that the needle
strikes the throat-plate and is bound to break. The needle may, how-
ever, break in trying to sew extraordinary heavy seams when the
pressure on the presser-foot is not heavy enougn
1o create more pressure upon the goods turn the presser-bar nut
on top of presser-bar to the right; to decrease the pressure turn it to
the left.
If the machine slips stitches, the needle is either bent or not in
right position.
If the stitches are not even, it may be caused by the presser-foot
not resting evenly upon the fabric sewed, or by the feed not being
high enough, or by the stitch being too short, or by pulling the cloth,
or by using too he a needle with too coarse or uneven thread.
NOTTCE
The leather band should always be tight enough not to slip.
it slips, or does not force the needle through thick goods, cut off a
very short piece and readjust the ends.. The belt should not be so
tight as to prevent an easy motion of the machine.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE ATTACHMENTS
HEMMING.
Raise the needle to its highest point, remove the presser foot and
in its place attach the hemmer. Insert the edge of the cloth, folded
up, into the mouth of the hemmer as represented at 2 in fig. 15, then
with a pin or thread in the fold draw the edge of the cloth far enough
through the hemmer so that the needle will enter the cloth at its
extreme edge, then proceed to sew, keeping the edge turned as it
feeds through.
FELLING.
The hemmer is also the feller. Sew together two pieces of cloth
with the under edge projecting between . and a inch beyond the
upper edge; then trim the edges if necessary and open the work flat,
wrong side up, and fold down the wider edge, toward the left, over
the narrow edge, and then pass the folded edge into the feller the
same as ordinary hemming.
Fig. 15 represents an operator in the act o completing a fell.View original page 15Page 16 · Read text
rAMMING AND SHWING ON TACE-ONE OPERATION
Our hemmer and feller which accompanies each machine, is now
made with a slot-6. (See Figs. I4 and 15). In this slot place the
edge of the lace and sew it on at the same time as in ordinary hemming.
HEMMING, SEWING ON LACE AND INSERTING BIAS TRIMMING
AT HEAD OF THE HEM-ALL IN ONE OPERATION.
Cut a marrow piece of bias trimming out of colored goods (see 4
in Fig. 14). Pass the bias trimming into the tube near the mouth of
hemmer; then place the edge of the lace in slot 6, then place the
fabric to be hemmed into the mouth of the hemmer as for ordinary
hemming, and then proceed to sew, keeping the edge of the fabric
turned as it feeds through, and at the same time holding the lace in
its proper position. It will require a little patience and experience
for an operator to become proficient in this work, but as it makes a
most desirable style of trimming, it has come into general use by
owners of the WHITE machines
WIDE HEMMING.
Any width hem can be made with the hemmer and feller upon
thin fabrics by simply folding the goods the desired width of hem, and
then passing the edge through as in narrow hemmingView original page 16Page 17 · Read text
BRAIDING.
Remove the presser foot and attach the braider to the presser bar.
The VIBRATOR must be adjusted (see page 10), at such a height that
every downward movement of the needle will cause the braider foot to
raise just enough to allow the gods to pass freely under it.
The pattern to be braided should first be stamped or drawn on
the cloth. To put the braid into the braider, first raise the foot, then
pass the end of the braid through the slot on braider so that the braid
will pass through the hole 2 in front of the pin and draw it under the
foot and back of the needle; then place the stamped pattern under
the foot and proceed to sew, guiding the cloth with the right hand
and hoiding the braid with the left hand to keep it from twisting
By the assistance of the vibrator a novice can do better braiding,
and more of it, on the White, than an expert
machine without such an attachment.View original page 17Page 18 · Read text
Fig. 13.
QUILTING.
The OUILTER is furnished with each mackine without extra charge.
Pass the quilter through hole 2 in presser bar, adjust the quilter
guide to the right of the needle according to the desired space
between seams, and high enough to allow the goods to pass freely
under it, and then fasten the quilter securely by screw 3.
IN STARTING to quilt use the outer edge of the cloth for the first
guide, or else crease the cloth on the right and let the quilter guide I
follow the crease; quilt the remainder by keeping the guide in a line
and over the seam last stitched
NOTICE.- Large quilts should be made in squares or sections and
then sewed together. In quilting squares or diamonds the seams
should be on an equal bias.View original page 18Page 19 · Read text
Fig 16
CORDING.
The CORDER is an extra attachment. RETAIL PRICE $1.00.
Remove the presser foot and attach the corder to presser bar so
that the needle will pass through the centre of the needle hole. Pass
the cord. through hole 2 into the tube of the corder, which is slotted
so that the cord can be easily pulled into the tube; always draw the
end of the cord back of the needle before commencing to sew.
TO COMMENCE COrDINg: -A seam should first be made in the
cloth, or else fold the piece to be corded and place it so that the
under piece 5 will come under the foot of the corder, and the other
piece 4 will come over the tube ot the corder: then draw the cloth
close up to the end of the tube and let down the foot without dis-
arranging the work; then proceed to sew holding the work slightly
to the left and keeping it smooth in front of the needle, so as to lay
the cord firmly against the fold.
The corder has a groove at 3 in which the last seam or cord
made should pass

WELT-CORDING.
Remove the regular presser foot that accompanies each machine
and attach the corder foot that accompanies the set of White"
attachments; fasten the ATTACHMENT HOLDER 4 to the face plate by
the gauge screw and then place the welt corder 3 in the holder by
sliding it behind and securing it firmly with screw 2; then take ordi-
nary dress cord and pass the end of it through the hole § in CORDER
CARRIER and back through the folder; then cut a narrow piece of
bias trimming, as represented by 7, and yass it into the folder so as
to surround and cover the cord; then take the two pieces of cloth
between which the welt cord is to be stitched, as shown in cut by 6
and 8, allowing the piece 6 to pass under the attachment and to be
next to the feed of the machine, wbilst the piece 8 must pass over
the welt corder and be next to and under the presser foot; lower the
presser foot and then proceed to sew, guiding the edges of 6 and 8
pieces together and the result will be as shown at 9. By using the
pieces 6, 7 and 8 out of different colors, it makes a very handsome
piece of trimming.

TUCKING.
Attach the tucker to the machine by means of. the gauge screw.
Set the guide 2 (see fig. 8) as far fron the needle as you want the tuck
in width, and then fasten the tucker firmly to the machine by turning
gauge screw to the right; then loosen little screw or nut I (see fig. 8)
and move the creaser 6 exactly twice as fur from the needle to the left
as the guide 2 is to the right; then fasten little screw 1.
This adjustment will make tucks without any space between them.
If space between tucks is desired. move the creaser 6 as much
further from the reedle to the left as the space desired.
Connect the tucker arm or wire 3 to the needle by hook 4.
TO COMMENCE TUCKING:-Fold the cloth for the first tuck and •
place it under the creaser bar and presser foot with the folded edge
against the guide 2, lower the presser loot and sew as usual, keeping
the edge of the goods close against the guide 2..
The creaser 6 marks the cloth as it passes over the creasing blade;
after the first tuck is completed, fold the cloth by the mark made by
the creaser and place again as before. Continue this operation until
the garment has the required number of tucks.
