ings such as the way in which it is
threaded up, the directions for wind
ing the bobbin, the manner in which
the stitch and the tension are regu
lated, and SO forth.
The tension should be neither too
tight nor too loose, and it should be
screwed up or down, as the case may
be, with care. Experiment on a fold
of the material you are to work with,
and shorten or lengthen your stitch as
is necessary. If it draws, the tension
should be made loosen, but before try
ing to adjust the tension, see whether
it is the upper or the lower thread that
that pulls.
Remember in sewing silks, chiffons
and all thin goods, that the best re
suits will be obtained only from using
the loosest tension possible. If there
is to be a strain on any particular
seam, it will wear better if sewn loose
ly.
The tension on both threads should
be the same, or the stitch will not be
perfected. See that the thread on the
bobbin is wound evenly and carefully.
Select Needle and Thread With Care.
Never use a thread coarser than No.
so, and this only with the coarsest ma
terials.. For ordinary home sewing,
however, upon lingerie waists, thin
gowns, underwear, ct cetera, it will be
a safe rule if you keep to numbers be-
tween 20 and 100.
Never use a blunt or a bent needle
in the machine. The needle should
have sharp point and an eye large
enough to carry the thread easily, both
reference to the material in hand. Get
the best quality of thread or silk, but
never buy more than enough, for ev-
cry housewife knows how these arti-
cies become tender with age.
A package of machine needles suit
ed to your machine should by all
ed to your machine should by all
means be among the stock laid in in
advance.
Dose of Kerosene Beneficial.
See that your machine is in perfect
condition two or three days before you
expect your seamstress, so that if any
repairs have to be made, there will still
be time. Clean it yourself with a
cloth to free it from dust, and oil it
we'll
A dose of kerosene is frequently
beneficial, especially upon the parts
that have been oiled. The shuttle
chine run rapidly for a minute or two,
then the kerosene should be carefully
wiped off and a second dose of oil
applied
Catch all drops of oil by running off
several pieces of old cotton cloth. This
is very important, if you would not
have your new dress spotted.
Unless there is much work to be
done, for ordinary home dressmaking
it is not worth while to use the at
tachments for tucking, hemming and
so forth, but the expert operator
should, Of course, be familiar with
their use.
There is no doubt that a machine
does away with much of the drudgery
of home dressmaking, but it does not
obviate the necessity for hand sew
ing altogether; You cannot possibly
expect to have your work neat if you
do not haste your seams first, and if
you are not careful about the finish
ing of belts and collars and the way
in which you sew on trimmings and
fastenings. A hasty finished gar
ment, you should remember, never
looks well and never gives any degree
of satisfaction to it's wearer.
