TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

1. Raise feeding foot A, Fig. 5 by moving lifter B upward.

2. Place both feet upon the treadle.

3. Turn top of handle wheel over toward you to start

machine. (If hand wheel is fitted on front of machine, turn

top of hand wheel from left to right to start machine.)

4. Allow the feet to move freely with the motion of the

treadle. Continue this motion with an alternating pressure

of heel and toe until a regular easy movement is acquired

and the hand wheel is kept in continuous rotation by use

of the feet alone.

5. When familiar with the treadle movement, and you are

able to re-start the machine without turning the hand

wheel in the wrong direction, place a piece of material

under the feeding foot.

6. Lower feeding foot by lowering lifter and operate

machine until you have become accustomed to guiding the

material.

Material is moved along by the feeding foot only, and the

direction of stitching can be changed as de- sired, by

turning wings, Fig.32. To make a curved line of stitching,

operate machine slowly and; without turning work, turn

the revolving wings enough to produce the desired curve.

Feeding foot rises between each stitch while needle is in

the material. With needle serving as pivot, material can be

turned in any direction. When desired, the feeding foot

may be fixed to work in a straight line, in any direction, by

tightening the knurled screw A, fig. 22.

Never turn the work or alter the direction of the feed

while the foot is pressing on the material, as this may

cause missed stitches and damage the surface of the

work.

NEEDLES

Needles for MACHINES 29K71, 29K72 and 291<73 are

of Class and Variety 29 x 3 for cloth and 29 x 4 for leather.

Needles 29 x 3 are made in sizes 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21,

22, 23, 24 and 25, Needles 29 x 4 are made In Sizes 9, 11,

14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.

The above needles regularly have nickel finish but can be

supplied with chromium finish If ordered.

The size of the needle to be used should be deter- mined

by the size of the thread which must pass freely through

the eye of the needle. Rough or uneven thread, or thread

which passes with difficulty through the eye of the needle

will interfere with the successful use of the machine.

Orders for needles must specify the Quantity required, the

Size number, also the Class and Variety numbers separated

by an x.

The following IS an example of an Inte111glble order:

“100 No. 16, 29 x 3 Needles", for cloth.

“100 No. 16, 29 x 4 Needles", for leather,

The best stitching results will be obtained by using the

needles sold by Singer Sewing Machine Company.

THREAD

Left twist thread should be used in the needle. Either right

or left twist thread can be used for the bobbin.

To determine the twist, hold the thread as shown. Turn the

thread over toward you between the thumb and forefinger

of the right hand; if left twist, the strands will wind tighter.

If right twist, the strands will unwind.
