The Improved Sewing Machine clamps it, and raise the needlebar (2) to its highest point, Then take a lvhite thread, pass it through the needle, s-hich is to be held (with its long groove towards the operator) between the thumb and finger of the left hand, place the needle point dolvn through the hole in the throat plate (75); hold it fast while you turn the lvheel gentll- torvards 1.ou, until the needle bar (2) moves downward so that the needle is guided into the groove under the clamp (6); hold the thread with the thumb and first fiuger oI the Ieft hand on the throat plate in a straight line from 1'ou, thus bringing the eve of the needle exactlv level rvith the surface of the throat plate (75), turn the upper wheel gently until the gauge mark (a distinct liire enlrrived in the front of the needle bar, near its top) rests level or fulll' above the top of the face plate; then screrv up tight. For linen and silk the gauge mark must stand 1/ru of an inch higher, Observe that the needle passes dorvn exactly in the middle ol the throat plate hole and that ils long groove exactly' faces vou. If the needle be set too high. either the shuttle cannot pass through the loop, or it will not enter the loop freely. and the thread 'rvill be cut. If the leedle be set too low, +5s loop rtill be too large aud tlvist; the shuttle rvill then occasionallv miss it, and stitches t'ill be dropped. It is most important to set the needle corectly.

The condition and movement of the needle should be examined daily-, and if the point be biunt or rough. is should be replaced b1- a nerv one. The machine will nevel sew satisfactoriiv s-ith a needle that is not sharp and clean.

If the eve of the needle should be rough and cut tho thread, drarv through it, to and fro in ail directions, a coais" thread saturated ri'ith oil and fine emerr, until it is smooth. lt is verv impoftaut always to suit the to choose a thread lvhich'completely fills the groove in the needle at is passes through the fabric, The Iower thread should be

thre.ad to the rieedle, i. e.

somewhat finer than the upper thread.

4. T0 WIND A BOBBIN. Throw the upperrvheel out ol gear. Place - the the bobbin in the t'inder with the notched end to the right, inserting pin on the spindle in the notch. The left hand spindle draws baclr to admit of this, Place a reel of thread from which you purpose winding on one - on of the pins the top of the machiner pass the thread through the slit on the right in the end of the krrife blade (1). under and betn'een the terrsiou discs (2), then through the slit on the left (3), from thence behind the knife blade dolrn to the bobbin and from inwards to outwards through the small hole in the right hand brass flange and fasten the thread b1. squeezing it betl'een the flange and the spindle; then wind up all the slack thread b1.' turning the reel on the pin.

The catch in front of the tvinder nol. has to be raised against the bobbin and the India rubber ring must be allorved to touch the flvrvheel, lvhich is done by pressing on the- little knob at 4 in front of the rvintler.

A11 is norv ready for winding and the maehine may be set gentlv in motion. As soon as the bobbin is full the wiuder rvill cease to tork.

'Iake care that the thread be ahvays er.enlv and tightl"v \vound on the bobbin, until it is full. Very much depends upon the propei t'inding of the bobbin thread. Do not pass knots in the thread. It is advisable to nincl several bobbins together to avoid coDstant intelruption of the l,ork.

To adiust the ninder: If the rvinder throrr.s out of gear before the bobbin is IuIi the little vertical screl. under the catch shoild be screl.ecl dorvn slightl.v", if the bobbin overfills l'ithout being thrown out of gear -a4d this screlr. should be screrred up, a very little is sufficient.

'Ihe same directions appl1- to the Winder of the Saronia llachine, onlr instead of pressing against button 4, press firmh, against the little knob ai

the Ieft hand side of the rvinder as above illustra[ed, to bring the cogl'heel in connection l'ith the toothed inside rirn of the flnyheel.

To remove the rvork, raise the neetlle to its highest point, raise the foot by l,hich means the tension rvill be disco"nlecteid uuio-ufi"utiy and dra* the fabric rvith the left hand from the left side uprvards aboul three inches; then cut both threads.

If removing.the'rT'ork the lorver thread breaks, take out flre shutile, (lra\y out,insome thread and proceed again as abore described. ., . It rua1, be advantageous here to describe the manner i'i'hich the pre,ssgr-

stitches are produced br-tlris machine: The needle passing through the fabric leuds part of the upper threatl belor' tlre needle pla1e, In rising. it forms a small lbop irr the ilirbatl *.hich ts caug.ht an-d sprcrd Ii1- the point of the shuttle pasiinr the neetlle. This loop. through rvhich the lorveri tlrread is carried b-v ihe sh"uttle. is then taken up by the thread ]ever. and tightened b1- the foirnation of the *ei[ stitch.

13. TO CLEAN AND OIL THE IIICEI]iE. If .r-ou constantlv use the machine, it should be cleaned twice a dav and l'eil oiled. tsefoie oiling, lais.e..the presser foot. remove the shuttle. and having .oiled, run the machine rapidll. a minute, ther *-ipe o-ff oil ir.itt n'piece of rag. Be -all superfluous sure, that eterv part is clean, before co-mmencing to sel'.

There are nine small holes ruade for oiling. one in the front of the fac,e p-late near- the needle bar (2), three on the t6p of the arm, o,e at each end of the sliaft anti one near the spool pin, -trvo at the base of ihe arm (ncar the.trade mark) and three near the'throit plate (?5). To oil the crauk xlhiclr n'orks the shuttle: turn the machine slo'lvly until'the small entl of the crank Lp_qgaqs in-sight through the long slot in' the base rvhere the thumb scre*, (104) for..altering the stitch. acts, norv oil it. A litfle oil must be put upon tlre needle bar (2), also at theback ofthe shuttle carrier. and a 'erv'little'on thejoint ofthe check lever (BB). The spooler spindle must be oiled, also the point of _ the bobbin rvhen being filled: The face of the shuttle should be oiled at least once a dar'. The parts of the stand to be oiled are: the hancl'wheel hub; both ends ol the pitman and eaeh end of the treatlle, If the machine runs hard while in usc, some place requires oiiing. If

it

runs hard, ofter..standing itlle

jor

sotte ti.nte, .use a

little peiroleunr

or*ben-

zine in place of oil, -run.rapidlr:, rvipe_clean, -and tben oij zuith the best prcpared spentt oil, rvhich shouid all.alis be used. To make sure of procuiing good oil, buy it rvhere I'ou bought ihe machine.

With careful running, regular cleaning and oiling, the machine rvill rvear but slightly-, antl the principal parts should last a life time.

But it is possible that some of the small parts iu the coulse of r,ea,rs *'ill r,'ear out. 'rhe manufacturers furnish, through their agents, iltelcliangeable parts l'hich rnar. be set in l.lv the olneri the coGtruciion of the maehine being ver-r' sirnille.

But if the orvner cannot put the machine iu order, he should unscrew it from the table ard send it to-the agents with all the fittings together with a statement of the difliculty experienced.

The Improved Serving Machine.

Ailviee for keeping thc maelrine

in good running order.

Ever1, machine is thoroughll, tested before being sent out. Should one be found not to serv rvell, the -ca_use rrill probablr arise from an improper use. It is therefore rccommended not to attempt anr alterrrtion t-o th e machine,_ l-refore beiug assured that the neerlle is properly set and the tensio n

legulated.

Shoukl the lower threatl break: 1. The tension in the shuttle rnal' be too great, or 2. There mav be a sharp edge in the throat plate, or there is 3. A rough edge on the shuttle.

Should thc upper threatl break, the rcason rnay be that: 1. The tension is too tight, or 2. The needle is too fine for the thread. or 3. The long groove of the needle is not placed facing the operator or it is set too high or too low, or 4. The needle cloes not pass centrallv through the hole in tlie throatplate, so that

it

touches, or

5. The throat piate is incorrectl-v placed. In changing the throat plate care shoultl he ttrlien that after having scren'ed it clorvn, it will be fleely passed bi' the needle and that the needle in passing dol,n does uot touch the shuttle. To aseertaiu this, press the ncedle l'hen dorvu, gentlv u'ith the screrv drivel torvards the shuttle. If it thel siigthl_v touches the shuttle the position is right.

Observe thai in using a thick needle {or linen or other coar.se tirread, the throat-plate rrith the large holc should l.ie used, ard lhe needle be set tt sixteertlb of ttn inch lczuer tbut usua!.

6.'.t'Lc ele of tlre nco,lle is slralp ol tlrc poirrr lr)unt. 'Ihe former is ver.r probable if ,r'ou fiud tire ireetllc unthleadctl.

7. 'I'he feeder does not move the fabric regularlr-. its flee actiotr being hintlcrecl by dirt. pieees of thre:rd, ol ri-ant of oil.

Shoulrt there be sliipped or lonq stitehcs at intervals, the 'r'casofl rna-Y bc that: 1. The needle is set too h.igh or too Iol-, or 2. The rreedle has become bent al'a1' from the shuttle, or 3. The long groor-e of the neetlle is uot placed facing the operator, or 4. The leedle is too fine, or
