TUCKING GUIDE FOR LITTLE WANZER

Given with the Machine.

This attachment is useful in Marking Tucks, &c., where the plain iron guide cannot be used in consequence of the width of the work. Should the end of wire be either too large or too small to fit accurately, it can be adjusted to the proper size by either slightly opening or compressing the end of the wire which is split for this purpose. This attachment will also quilt.
