We specify some Of the chief points of excellence
belonging to these machines.

made by thanksgiving. II cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the scanstrcss, and
takes onstrd less thread to a stitch than that does
The stitch (fne coarse at tho pleasure Of the
sewcr) is absolutely uniform, aud is precisely the
same on both sides Of the seam. This last quality
is Of signal advantage, sometimes, in making n
garment, because some parts arc more easily ham
died in the making, by change of side.
