Its seam is so Btrong and elastic that it never breaks, even on the bias. 5. It fastens hoth ends of the seam by its own operation. 6. Its seam, though cut at every Bixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runs nor ravels in wear. 7. Its seam is more plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty gfter washing better than any other. 8. Its seam can be removed in altering garments, AFTEB FBOFEB INSTBTTCTIOK, without picking or cutting them. 9. Watching and varying the tenisons upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this.
