iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR USING THE
White Rotary Sewing Machine
MANUFACTURED BY
White Sewing Machine Company
Cleveland, Ohio, U. S. A.
Never run Machine ivitJi needle threaded toithout goods under
p7'esser-foot. Run Machine so that upper side of hand tvheel moves
from you,
TO SET NEEDLE
Raise the lieedle-bar to its highest point; loosen the thumb-screw
and press it to the left to permit the shank of the needle to pass up
between the clamp and needle-bar as far a sit will go, flat side to the
RIGHT—the NEEDLE being flatened on one side so it will set itself per
fectly, then fasten securely by tightening thumb-screw.
To avoid loosening of the needle, ahoays use a screw driver to
fasten the same, the needle nut bemg slotted for that purpose.
The needle, when descending, should pass central in the needle
hole from front to rear, but close to the right side of the hole, as it
prevents the needle from glancing into the race and being caught by
the shuttle.
NEEDLES AND THREAD TO BE USED
The MOST IMPORTANT consideration is to buy and use perfect nee
dles—not bent, nor blunt points.
When ordering needles for this machine, be sure to ask for the
genuine White Rotary flat shank needles which are stamped on the
shank “White F. R.” Imitation or “just as good” needles will cause
trouble. Get the genuine White.
Cut of White Rotary flat shank needle
showing exact length.
iize of the needle sh
and both be suitable to the material sewed. Use as fine a needle as
will permit the thread to pass freely through the eye.
The following index will show the size of needle, thread and silk
to be used.
For colored thread use needles one size larger than given in in
dex above.

TO REMOVE BOBBIN CASE
FROM SHUTTLE
Raise the take-up to its highest
point. With the thumb and second
finger of left hand clasp bobbin case
as shown in cut, then lift latch S
with the third finger, when bobbin
case may be readily withdrawn
from shuttle
TO REMOVE SHUTTLE FROM SHUTTLE RACE
First remove the bobbin case. Turn the machine back on its
hinges, then turn the machine in the same direction as in sewing
until the point of the needle just enters the needle plate hole; push
on rear end of latch G and at the same time pull shuttle race cover
away from shuttle and toward latch G from under pin H; the shut
tle can now be removed.
When shuttle has been removed from race be sure to clean both,
and oil the race slightly before replacing. Occasionally oil slightly
in hole on race cap marked V above and pin W in shuttle, see page
5 fig. 9. 4

Turn the machine in direction for sewing until the point of the
needle just enters the needle plate hole; take the shuttle by the
center pin W with the left hand and place it in the race, so that
point of shuttle will be fi’om you and over arrow on thread cast off,
so that the holes in the shuttle will drop on to driving pins in race,
then replace the shuttle race cover.
DO NOT FORCE the shuttle into race. It will enter readily

Should the machine at any time act badly in sewing or running
it would be well to remove shuttle and clean it and the race, which
is but a moment’s work.
To replace the bobbin case, it need not be held as when remov
ing, but simply slip it on the pin in shuttle, with the tension project
ing upward, and push it into shuttle as far as it will go, when the
spring latch will pass over and retain it in that position.
The thread should be allowed to project about one inch from

right to tighten, and to the left to loosen the same.
TO THREAD BOBBIN CASE TENSION
Place bobbin in case so that thread will come from bobbin on
same side as hole B in bobbin case; pass thread through slot A to
hole B thence across opening, drawing it down under lip C then
pull it up until thread passes out under tension spring D.
The tension on bob
bin case should be the
same as the upper ten
sion.

lower thread up through needle hole.
Pass the ends of both threads
under the presser-foot and you will
be ready to sew.
Note.~T}o not run the machine with
the presser-foot down on the feed without
cloth under it. Do not pull cloth cc or from
you in such a manner as to bend the needle.

the right, moving the pointer towards No. 8. By this means the
;same tension can always be duplicated, thus obviating the necessity
•of experimental trials, as is the case with other machines. If a tight
tension is desired, both upper and under threads must necessarily be
tight. If the upper thread is tight and the lower thread loose, the
upper thread will be drawn to the top thus: If the
lower thread is too tight, it will be drawn straight on the bottom of
goods, thus: \ When you desire the goods to look alike
nn both sides, and be elastic, balance the tension thus:
THE TENSION RELEASER
, The tension releaser is operated by the presser-bar lifter. By
means of it, all tension is taken off the upper thread when the
presser-f oot is raised, and the work can be taken out without pulling
the thread down by band.
^PARTICULAR NOTICE—The tension cannot he regulated when the lifter
is up because the Releaser is operated by the presser-bar lif ter,

TO COMMENCE WORK
In tiireRdin" the needle mid bobbin case rt.speclively.yt'U .shoidd
leave an end of thread about two inches in lenjfth to cacli. ilold the
end of the upper thread loosely in the left hand, and with tlie right
hand pontlyrevolve the hand-wheel until the needle passes to its low
est point and rcUinis. a loop will be foniK.-d through wijich the shut
tle will pass, and. as the needle ascends it will draw up the Icrvor or
shiittlc thread, and the machine is ready for praclicrd operation.
TO REMOVE WORK
Step the machine with the take-up at its liighesl point J riUjsG the
prts.sci’-foot with the lifter which slackens the upper liiread; then
lake hold ofynur work with your left hand and pul! it direct'.y from
you, keeping the top thread in the slot of the presser-foot, '.vhici'. wiÜ
prevent bending ihe needle. Now raise the work and draw the
threads into the tliread cutter on the pressor-bar and indl dovnward, which wil! cut the ilireafis iiie proper length to com.Tiente
wi>rk again.
EXPLANATION OF DIFFICULTIES THAT SOMETIMES
OCCUR WITH BEGINNERS
If the t'jip^r Hrrio.f.l brrul:-'-'. it may be caused by the needle not
is.ing properly .sot. or the itn-.cldne no: tht-'-aded correct iy, or the
u]iper ten.-ioa loo tight, or the thread une'on and the nocdl... p,.-;
.small J'i>r it, or the needle eye to.,» .sharp, or the presser-i'ool attached
to the machine so that the needle rubs it iti pa.-sing.
If liu ni'-<h i‘ iln rm! hi i'i!:.'!. it may be ca.useii by the bo'oi.'in ca;.c
i.'cing improperly Ihreaded. or too much Un.sion upon it, or by the
bobbin being wound loo full .so that the thre.-id slips ovf-r the ends of
the bor>bin in the oe'hbi.n case.
If flic nx.dfc breahK. it is more than likely your oun fault,
cau.sed by pulling the goods to or from you in .such a rnanner Und

keeping the edge turned as it feeds through.
Felling
Tiic hommer is also the feller. Sc'.v together two piece.s of clotlt
with tlio under edge projecting be-iwecn .'.■ and '■ ! inch beyond the
tipper edge; then trim the edges if necessary and opcii the work; oat

now made with a slot—6. (See illustration above.) In this sloB
place the edge of the lace and sew it on at the same time as In
ordinary hemming.
WIDE HEMMING
Any width hem can be made with the hemmer and feller upo»
thin fabrics by simply folding the goods the desired width of hem
and then passing the edge through as in narrow hemming,

Cl«.* •
Draw out slide of machine
about half way, insert ear of
shirring plate into gauge screw
hole in needle plate, and holding
down the shirring slide, push
slide up in its place, and fee
shirring slide will be held firmly
in that position.
Loosen screw 6 (see page 16)
and remove separator, placing
the goods to be shirred between
the blades, and shirr at any de
sired distance. ^
Be careful not to use rufiier without separator or shirring blade
and cloth above,
for in so doing the rufiier teeth will be broken or
injured.
To Put Ruffling on a Band Edge Stitched With
or Without Piping.
Take striped calico or plain colored goods, cut on the bias in
strips full one half inch wide, folding in center. Place the piping
in guide 7 with folded edge to the right, then take the band and turn
down on edge a quarter of an inch and place in guide 8 having both
ends down under foot. The guide can be adjusted to right or left by
loosening screw 9. Place the ruffling to the right between the blades
and in guide 4; if wider ruffling is desired remove separator and us€
shirring slide. To use facing with shirring slide place facing unde:
shirring blade 1 and in guides 2 and 4.
To Make Heavy Pleating.
Cut Lonsdale cambric in strips one inch wide lengthwise of the
goods, fold in the center and press the folded edge down smooth.
Adjust the goods with folded edge to the left and between the
springs of>ruffler, then in gauge 4 (see page 16). Set a long stitch,
turn adjusting nut 5 to No. 4 on gauge, placing the band in guide 8
in the same manner as when using piping. This will make a very
large sized pleat and be stitched on the band.
To Make Scallop Ruffling.
Place the goods in rufiier just the same as for making large'
pleats, except to remove guage 4 from rufiier and shorten the stitch
of machine. While sewing, move the goods to the right and lef^
alternately and far enough to make the scallops of desired depth
Scallops can be made of uniform length by counting the same num. '
ber of stitches between each alternate movement to the right or left.

TUST one more tíme saver which the busy user wili eagerly
welcome—a Scissors Gauge with which one can easily and accu
rately cut bands of various widths, either straight or on the bias.
It’s an attachment, the value of which will be grasped on sight
by every sewer and highly appreciated for its thorough utility.
This attachment is included free with the attachments supplied
with this machine.
THE SCISSORS GAUGE
The Scissors gauge is for cutting bands qf various widths, either
itraight or bias. The sliding scale is adjustable for the widths of
band desired.
Place the gauge upon the scissors, as shown in the illustration,
slip the edge of the cloth in the gauge and proceed to cut the band.
The tape for the Binder should always be cut on the bias, also th©
piping which is used with the Ruffler.
The letter P indicates the proper width for
a bias fold, which is to be one-half of an inch
wide when finished.
The Scissors Gauge »fhe letter B indicates the width for cutting
bias bands which are used with the binder.
C is for corded or plain piping. The piping is cut bias and
. folded double to use with the ruffler.
With the aid of this gauge any
number of folds may be cut of
exactly the same width. Those
who have tried know the difficulty
of doing this with the scissors
alone. Everyone who uses a bias
gauge is delighted with it.
O
rlaoing the Gauge Ou the Scissors
Buy a yard of 44 inch lawn.
Cut it into bias strips % to 15-16
of an inch wide. Roll it on card
board and keep it in the machine
drawer. It will furnish the bind
ing for the inside seams of the
>£white se wing for months to come.

THE EDGE-STITCHER
A Combined Edge-Sdtching, Lace-Joining and Piping Attachment
HE EDGE-STITCHING ATTACHMENT is fastened to the
machine in the same manner as the Presser-Foot. The
T
different slots which are numbered from 1 to 5 in the illus
tration serve as guides for sewing together laces, insertions, em
broideries, sewing in position folded or hemmed edges, bias-folded
'•tai*
material or piping, etc.
This Attachment is very useful in trimming such articles
of clothing as aprons, women’s and children’s dresses and under
wear, shirtwaists, silk blouses, boys' rompers and suits, or for articles for household
decoration such as fine bureau scarfs and thin curtains, baby carriage covers and
doillies.
Very beautiful effects may be
obtained in yokes, guimpes, sleeves
collar and cuff sets, vestees, fich
us, lace waists, camisoles, etc. by
joining rows of lace insertion alter
nate rows of lace and embroidery
insertions, or alternate rows of
tucking and lace insertions.
The folded tape, whidh may be
purchased in any department store
in all colors, qualities and widths
is indispensable to use with this
Attachment. The folded piping,
which may also be purchased
ready turned, will exactly fit the
piping slot in this Attachment.
How to Adjust the Edge-Stitcher
To adjust, move the lug A (see illustration) at the left of the attachment to
the right or left until the desired adjustment is obtained. When sewing two pieces
of lace together, it is very necessary that the attachment is adjusted to stitch ex
actly 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.
When the attachment is properly adjusted, the most inexperienced operator
may sew yards of lace or material together with no difficulty. '
Practical Uses of the Edge-Stitcher
1. Sewing lace and insertion together.
2. Sewing lace and embroidery insertions together.
3. Piping plaits and belts for children’s clothes.
4. Sewing tape to top of stocking to prevent "runners” (patented). -
5. Sewing insertion on material—afterward cutting material away and turning
edges back.
6. Sewing lace on edge of hem.
7. Setting in insertion with edges edge-stitched.
8. Sewing lace and ribbon together.
9. Covering seams with bias bands or finishing braids.
10. Sewing braid on heavy suits and dresses.
11. Sewing on bias bands for trimming—straight or curved. ,
13. French seaming.

Practical Buttonholes made with the Binder and Hemmer
It is the desire of every -women to understand the art of rnaking fine buttonholes,
but many women do not have the time to spend working them, even though they
are skilled in the art.
Good practical buttonholes can be made on the sewing machine with the help
of the Binder and Hemmer. These buttonholes are strong and durable and will
wear as long as the garment. They are neat and good looking and a dozen can be
made in a fraction of the time it takes to make one by hand. These buttonholes
are especially practical for children’s underclothes, rompers, dressses and for the
backs of Princess slips.
Directions for Making
If the buttonholes are to be two inches apart, take a strip of material two inches
wide and bind it as shown in B. The marks show this strip divided into sections.
Each section is one-half inch wider than the button. If your button is one-half inch
across add one-half inch, thus cutting your strip into pieces 1 inch wide. If the
button is three-quarters of an inch wide, add one-half inch and cut strip into sec
tions one and one-quarter inches wide.

the presser-foot. Bind the edges with bias binding as shown in D. This makes a
finished strip of buttonholes which are strong and practical for children’s clothes.
E shows the same idea worked out with finer materials; the Foot Hemmer in
stead of the Binder is used to finish the first strip, in order to get an effect dainty
enough to use with dimity, batiste, etc.
E also shows the edges sewn to another piece of cloth, which in Hte case of
practical sewing would be the garment. This is done when they are in the stage as
shown in C, binding the edge of the garment in with the row of buttonholes, then
stitching the free edge of the binding flat on the garment, using the presser foot.
