SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

for

TREADLE OPERATED MACHINE

In general, this machine is the same as the

one illustrated and described throughout this

book (except for electrical equipment), so all

instructions will apply, except for "Winding

the Bobbin" (Fig. 4 page 4), which directions

are given in this supplement.

When referring to this instruction book you

will notice that a few illustrations (Figs. 4, 24,

and 25) do not look exactly like your machine

due to the absence of the built in sewing light

and motor (on electric machines only), but in

all other respects they are the same.

WINDING THE BOBBIN

(TREADLE OPERATED MACHINE)

Slip a bobbin onto bobbin winder spindle

and push to right as far as it will go. Hold the

disc wheel with the left hand and loosen the

clutch nut, releasing the drive pulley so it will

run without operating the sewing mechanism.

Next, place spool of thread on bobbin winder

spool pin. Next, slip thread under guide

(A) and continue downward between tension
