GENERAL CARE AND OILING

To obtain full and complete efficiency ^rom your sewing machine,
study these instructions carefully to become familiar with its operati
on and the controls and devices which are new to you.

Your sewing machine was carefully adjusted, tested on every kind of

sewing and was passed by the Chief Inspector after it was found to

be perfect in every respect.

Keep your machine cleaned and oiled. . . use thread of good quality
and of proper size and weight tor the material. . . use needles ot good
quality and of the proper size for the weight of thread you are using.

Be sure that the bobbin is evenly wound... and that the machine
is threaded correctly.

Practice sew'ing on your machine so that you will operate it easily
and naturally when you are making a garment.

Practice bobbin winding by taking the thread from one bobbin to
another.

Remove and replace the needle several times. . . thread and unthread
the machine a number of times until you can do it easily and natu

rally.

These little practice sessions will make you expert in the handling
of your machine and will pay dividends in finish and appearance

when you are dressmaking in earnest.

ii£!E by pulling on the cloth, for your seam will be uneven...

the seam will pucker. . . the thread may break. . . and the needle will

bend.

Change needles often

The average dress has upwards of 10,000 stitches...and a needle, if

new when starting, has pierced the material this many times and the

point has become dulled. If you see lint fuzz at the eye of the

needle, replace it for it indicates that the needle eye is rough.

Proper stitch length is important, too, and a practice session for a

few minutes on a piece of the material to be sewn will tell you if

you have (a) the proper thread, (b) the right needle, (c) the correct
stitch length and (d) the right tension setting.
