OF thread on the bobbin as easily as a spool of
thread is wound, without care or attention on
the part Of the operator, except to keep the

moving the goods from underneath the presser

Ing great strength: 1t Is also self-setting, re-
quiring no care on the part of the operator.

tomato tension release. This takes tho ten
sion from the thread. and the goods can be re-
moved from the machine without bending the
needle or breaking the thread. Every operator
on old style machines will appreciate this.
