THE EDGE-STITCHER
A Combined Edge-Sdtching, Lace-Joining and Piping Attachment
T HE EDGE-STITCHING ATTACHMENT is fastened to the
machine in the same manner as the Presser-Foot. The
different slots which are numbered from 1 to 5 in the illus­
tration serve as guides for sewing together laces, insertions, em­
broideries, sewing in position folded or hemmed edges, bias-folded
material or piping, etc.
This Attachment is very useful in trimming such articles
of clothing as aprons, women’s and children’s dresses and under­
wear, shirtwaists, silk blouses, boys' rompers and suits, or for articles for household
decoration such as fine bureau scarfs and thin curtains, baby carriage covers and
doillies.
Very beautiful effects may be
obtained in yokes, guimpes, sleeves
collar and cuff sets, vestees, fich­
us, lace waists, camisoles, etc. by
joining rows of lace insertion alter­
nate rows of lace and embroidery
insertions,
or alternate rows of
tucking and lace insertions.
The folded tape, whidh may be
purchased in any department store
in all colors, qualities and widths
is indispensable to use with this
Attachment.
The folded piping,
which may also be purchased
ready turned, will exactly fit the
piping slot in this Attachment.
How to Adjust the Edge-Stitcher
To adjust, move the lug A (see illustration) at the left of the attachment to
the right or left until the desired adjustment is obtained. When sewing two pieces
of lace together, it is very necessary that the attachment is adjusted to stitch ex­
actly on the edge, so that the edges will not fold over when laundered.
When sewing laces or soft materials together, it is better to hold the edges
slightly overlapped. This will prevent the lace from feeding away from guide.
When the attachment is properly adjusted, the most inexperienced operator
may sew yards of lace or material together with no difficulty. '
