Never take the Machine apart otherwise than Is herein directed. Take care of the bobbins, thatthey do not get iccatched or bent ; and Insert nothing In them to pick out the thread but the thread-picker which accompanies the Machine.

Throw offthe leather belt JVomthe drivingpally, and replace with the small cord, passing it over the spooler. Secure the end of thread In the bobbin by passing it two or three " """jfiJJ'^"hold the BDool In the hand on the wire pin which accompanies the Machine, and operate the treadle until the bobbin is fliled. Have the thread In the bobbinat least onesize smaller than the top thread for general work. Wind the thread tlrfht In the bobbin, so as to have .t contain as much as possible.

ITthe bobbin should not be largeenough to letthc thread pass round free, loosen the case and turn the smaU screw under the spring 18 until it projects on the Inside sufficient toj prevent thecase from closing quite so much. This screw Is very seldom required to be altered, and only when very large flj^ead is used. .,. .u j i.

    6 The TeSsiom.30 is the tension, aol a certain degree of tension on the thread must be made to commence with. Taming the nut ao totBe Hghttightens the stitch, and the opposite loosens.

Turn in the opuosite dinxtion to tighten. The needle Is inserted In the hole through the bolt, next to the arm ; havethe arm raised to its fhll height ; put the needle In thu bolt fri>ni the top, and secure It at the shank; turn the machine gently, and if the needle strikes

The bobbin is taken out with the thumb of the left hand,varamnttinK In the bobb'n brtng the hook 18 to Its lowest point, so as to be out of the way. 13 is a spring on the side of

    small notch of It on the flat part of fhc bolt, and so turn it until the needle enters the hole In the cloth plate.haohMrvcd that all tfca needles are cnrved, and on one side is a long gnxive, on the other is a short one. Ths hollow of the curve mnst be toward the ,theO^klnethe long awove to the left of the operator. Set the needle so that the point of the hook 15 will be about a sixteenth of an inch above the eye of rvjthe needle when It pass^. Care should be taken not to blunt the point of the needle, nor let It incline towards the hook 15 so much as to come in conUct ^with It or the bobbincase. If the needles should so Incline after they are properly fastened, they can bo straightened by means of the notch In the smaU Jwrench, taking hold of the needle at or near the shank,

    7 ' The Pbopeb Sized Needles to be Used.For sewing Woolen cloth, or other heavy material with coarse thread, the largest needle must be used.Oniltiiia or sewing line silk goods with line thread or silk, No. 1 or 2 needles should be used. For fine linen with very Hue cotton, such as 70 or 80, the No.ffand No 1 should be used. Never attci.ipt to sew with a line needle and coarse thread, or with a coarse needle and fine thread. In selecting sewing cotton.ret those kinds that are most free from kiiotx and uneven places. _ , ^ ,

    8 Placiko the Wobk to be Sewed.Uaise the needle to its fUlI heightraise the presser foot 10 by the lifter 18, giving the knob a slight turn round,which will secure the presser foot In Its position. Adjust the work in its proper place, then let drop the prosser foot by turning round the lifter 18 until the pinin it enter* the hole in the arm ; pull offabout three inches of thread and hold in the rii^ht hand, turning the balance wheel under the table with the left handuntil a few stitehes are made, takini; care that the wheel does not turn backwardsjvhen the band is removed, or the thread will become entangled and break.In taking out the work, first raise the needle by means of turning the wheel with the left hand, then pull off enough thread to start again and cut it ; then raisethenresser foot, take out the work and cut off the thread.

    . ..^ ,',..,. .u j9 Bbeakiro of Thbead.See that the needle is low enough so that the hook 15 will not cut it at the eye when entering the loop. If the thread ic

    uneven and knotty, and of a very Inferior quality, or too large for the needle. It will break. See that It unwinds freely from the spool, and does not catch ortangle around the spool. If there is too great tension, or if the needle should be sharp in the eye, the thread will break and the needle eye Mhoold be polished
