ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES

One Screw Driver One Foot Hemmer or Feller One Binder
Twelve Needles Four Plate Hemmers (Set) One Braider
One Guide One Tucker One Oil Can
One Quilter One Ruffler One Thread Cutter
One Oil Bottle

The above articles constitute the most valuable and useful outfit furnished with any machine in the Market.


Special attention is called to our PATENT DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING THE LEGS OF MACHINE to any kind of floor. On the foot of the right front leg, you will notice a small Thumbscrew, which, when loosened, releases the adjustable Castor, which will at once cause all the legs to rest on the floor. Tighten the Screw and the Machine will stand solidly, thus in a very simple manner, obviating the necessity of "WEDGES", "SCREW DRIVERS", etc., being stuck under the leg to level up the Machine; and when moving the Machine to another place, it is only necessary to repeat the loosening and tightening of the Thumbscrew to ensure a solid standing Machine. The dotted lines indicate points where oil is needed.
