and less liable to arrangement than other ma
Z. Tbey are capable Of executing perfectly.
without change Of adjustment, much greater
variety of work than other machines.
q. The stitch made by these machines is much
more firm, elastic and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed and ironed.
than any other stitch.
5. This stitch. owing to the manner in which
the under thread is inwrought, is much the

frequently washed and ironed until they are
worn out. -,
