Its seam is. so strong and' elastic that it never breaks, even on the bias; * 5. It fastens both ends of the seam by m operation. 6. Its seam, though cut at every sixtn stitch, remains firm, and neither run* nor ravels in wear. 7. 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, AJTBB PBOPEB iUSTBUCTIOK, Without picking or cutting them. , c ' ''-■ 9. Watching. and varying the tenisonsrupon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this. The tenison being once adjusted on the Gboveb asb Bases Machine, any amount of sewing may be done without change. 10. It makes beautiful embroidery without any change of arrangement, simply by inserting threads of suitable sizes and colors for this purpose., It is the only machine that both embroiders and sews perfectly. , .:; He%d office for the Australian Colonies — 80 COIiLINS-STEEET, EAST,
