It is more simple, durable, and less liable to derangement than others. 2. It sews from ordinary spools, and no rewinding of thread is necessary. 3. It sews with equal facility all fabrics, the most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds of thread, silk, cotton, or linen. 4. Its seam is so strong and elastic that it never breaks, even on the bias. . 5. It fastens both ends of the seam by its own operation. 6. Its seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runs nor ravels in wear. 1. Its seam is more plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other. 8. Its seam can be removed in altering garments, ABTEB PBOPEB ZPSTBTOTIOX, without picking or cutting them. 9. Watching and varying the tenisons upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this.
