FOR USING

SINGER BRATOING MACHINE

114 w 110

The Singer Manufacturing Co.

DESCRIPTION

Machine 114 w 110 is designed for sewing braid on waists,
cloaks, suits, dresses, skirts, robes, opera wraps, uniforms,
millinery goods and a great variety of other articles such as
curtains, table covers, mantel scarfs, etc., all of which are made
very attractive by the ornamental designs produced by the
machine. Fabrics, including fine chiffon, georgette, china silk,
net and similar sheer materials, also the heavier fabrics such as
broad cloth, velvet, etc., arc stitched with ecjual satisfaction by
the machine.

The braid can be sewn “flat on,” or it can be sewn “edge on”

for what is known as “standing” braid. When the machine is

u.scd for sewing the braid “flat on,” the invisible lock stitch is
made, the stitches being placed in the centre on the underside of
the braid. When the braid is sewn “edge on,” one of the edges of
the braid stands upward, producing artistic effects different from
those obtained when the braid is stitched on flat. (See pages 18
and 20).

The braid is taken from a s])ool located at the top of the
machine, and passed down through a tube to a suitable guide
which conducts it to the needle in the desired position for stitching.
Braid guides can be furnished for various descriptions of braids as
shown on page 15, and samples of the braid to be used should
accompany orders for guides.

The usual method for sewing on the braid is to follow a
pattern that has been stamped or traced upon the fabric. With a
little practice the operator can produce ornamental designs with
out the aid of patterns.

The machine has one needle and one oscillating shuttle.

To Oil the Machine

When the machine is received from the factory it should be

thoroughly cleaned and oiled.

Fl(!. 2. Oir.IMi I’OIN'IS AT TMK l''lU)NT oe THIO iMachink

To clean the machine, use a little kerosene at the oiling
points shown in Figs. 2, 8, 4 and 5, run th(> machiiu' ra])idly for
one minute then wipe clean.

Speed

The speed of the machine is limited only by the skill of the
operator. The machine should be started at a speed of about 600
stitches per minute and this speed can be increased when the
operator becomes proficient and the nature of the work permits.
When the machine is in operation the balance wheel should always
turn over from the operator.

Oil should then be applied at each of the places designated

by arrows in Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5. When the machine is in continu

ous use it should be oiled at least once each day.

Turn the machine back on its hinges and apply oil at the

places shown by arrows in Fig. 5 and all other places where

Fig. 2 shows the front plate of the machine removed for the
purpose of cleaning and oiling. The front plate can be removed
after taking out the thumb screw which holds it in position.

Fig. 4, above, shows the face plate of the machine removed
for the purpose of cleaning and oiling. The face plate can be
removed after loosening the thumb screw (B, Fig. 4).

Needles

Needles for Machine 114 w 110 are of Class and Variety
126 X 1 and are made in sizes Nos. 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,
22, 23, 24 and 25.

The size of the needle to be used should be determined by
the size of the thread which must pass freely through the eye of
the needle. If rough or uneven thread is used the successful
operation of the machine will be interfered with.

Orders for needles must specify the quantity required, the
size number, also the class and variety numbers separated by the

letter X.

The following is an example of an intelligible order:

“100 No. 12, 126 x 1 Needles.”

The best results will be obtained in using the needles furnished

by the Singer Sewing Machine Company.

Thread

Left twist thread should be used in the needle. Either right

or left twist thread can be used in the bobbin.

Hold the thread as shown above. Turn the thread over
toward you between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand;
if right twist, the strands will unwind; if left twist, the strands
will wind tighter.

To Remove the Bobbin

(Sef, Fie. 7)

Turn the balance whei'l over from you until llu' needle bar
moves up to its highest point. Place the thumb of the left hand

Fir.. 7. Kemoving the Shu itle

under the front edge of the needle plate; raise the plate upward
and draw it toward you to remove it from the machine.

In.sert the finger nail of the forefinger of the right hand in

the notch in the side of the shuttle, as shown in Fig. 7, and lift

out the shuttle. Then raise the tension latch (A, Fig. 7) on the

shuttle, turn the open end of the shuttle downward and the

bobbin will drop out.

To Wind the Bobbin

(See Fig. Si

Fasten the bobbin winder to the table with its driving (lulley
in the front of the machine belt so that the pulley will droj) away
from the belt when sufficient thread has been wound upon the

bobbin.

Fig. S. W imhng the Hobhin

Pass the thread down through the thread guide (1) in the

tension bracket, around the back and between the tension discs (2).

Having placed the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle, pass
the end of the thread between the bobbin (d) and tbe disc (A) on
the spindle, then push the bobbin up closely against tin' disc, and
the end of the thread will be retained between the bobbin and the
disc. With the left hand hold the bobbin winder |)ulley, and at
the same time, with the righf, hand, turn the bobbin and the disc on
the bobbin winder spindle over toward you to expand the spindle,

thus securing the bobbin. Then push the bobbin winder ¡ndley

over against the machine belt, and start the machine.

If the thread does not wind evenly on the bobbin, loosen the
screw (B) in the tension bracket ami move the bracket to the
right or left as may be reiiuired, then tighten the screw.

When sufficient thread has been wound upon the bobbin,
the bobbin winder will stop automatically. To release the bobbin,
turn the disc on the s])indle over from you, then cut the tail
thread off inside of the bobbin and the thread leading from the
spool, and remove the bobbin.
