COMBINATION EDGE-STITCHER, TUCKING
GUIDE AND TOP-BRAIDER
A
The
Edge-Stitching
Attachment
is
fastened to the machine in the
some
manner as the Presser-Foot.
There are five different
slots,
which ore shown
in
the illustration,
serving
as guides for sewing to-
gether
laces, insertions,
embroider-
ies,
sewing
in
position folded or
hemmed edges, bios-folded ma-
terial or piping.
HOW TO ADJUST THE EDGE-STITCHER
To adjust, move the lug "A" to the right or left until the de-
sired adjustment is
obtained.
When sewing two pieces of
lace together, it is very
necessary
that the attachment is ad-
justed to stitch exactly on the edge, so that the edges will
not fold over when laundered.
·
When sewing laces or soft materials together, it is better
to hold the edges, slightly overlapped. This will prevent the
lace
from feeding away from guide.
TUCKING
The numbers 2 to 6 inclusive stomped on
the
bock edge of
the sliding guide
represent
the width of tuck in eighths of on
inch. After folding
the
material for the first tuck, put the fold-
ed edge into the guide
slot
which
is
nearest the needle.
When the left edge
of
the friction spring
"H"
coincides with
the number 2 on the scale a 1,4" tuck
results.
In like manner, set the guide at 3 for a
%"
tuck.
In like manner, set the guide at 4 for a
V2"
tuck.
In like manner, set the guide at
5
for a
%"
tuck.
In like manner,
set
the guide at
6
for a
%"
tuck.
For
tucks narrower than 1,4" move the guide
"G"
as for
as
desired
to the left.

BRAIDING
Move the guide "G" to the right until the braiding guide
hole "K" is exactly in line with the needle hole of the attach-
ment.
The design to be braided should be plainly marked or
stomped on the top or right side of the fabric. Start the
soutoche
braid
into hole "K" and stitch along design, be-
ing sure that the
soutoche
braid is feeding freely into hole
"K"
without twisting. To turn a corner, stop the machine with
the needle down through the braid in the exact
corner of the design, raise the presser-bar just enough to
permit
the
turning of the fabric
in the
desired direction,
lower the presser-bar and proceed as before.
