GENUINE SINGER PARTS AND NEEDLES

DESCRIPTION
MACHINE 142w25 has one needle and a rotary sewing hook and
makes the lock stitch.
It Is designed for mending and darning stockings, socks, knit
underwear, linen, curtains, etc., and Is used In laundries,
hotels, hospitals and other public or private Institutions where
darning equipment Is required.
It has a cylinder bed which enables It to conveniently darn
tubular shaped articles, the diameter of the cylinder being small
enough to accommodate a baby's sock.
When desired, the machine can be Instantly converted Into a
flat bed machine by attaching the flat work plate which will be
furnished, on order, at additional charge.
The operator can freely move the work In any direction while
darning as there Is no feeding mechanism and the presser foot
rises automatically after each stitch.
The machine can be equipped with Cylinder End Cover and
Thread Cutter complete 241230, which Is desirable when darning
socks, etc., since It permits the bobbin thread to be cut close
to the darn without removing the sock from the cylinder, thus
saving time and thread.
