THE SINGER NO. 24
The general advantages of this type of machine for family sewing comprise greatest ease and quietness of operation, simplicity of construction, and the elasticity of the single-thread seam. When needle is threaded the machine is ready, the stitch requiring neither bobbin nor shuttle. The thread is taken from one spool, and is so interwoven and twisted that seams cannot rip unless the finished end be unlocked. When this is done the entire length of thread can be quickly withdrawn without injury to the fabric. Guaranteed to be in every point the best single thread chain-stitch machine on the market.

The Machines of Class 24, running at high speed and requiring a spool of upper thread only, are very largely used in the manufacture of thin fabrics, such as aprons, curtains, linings, drapery, dresses, hosiery, infants' garments, hoods, neckties, shoe linings, umbrellas, etc. Particular attention is called to the machines of this class for ruffling, tucking, gathering and plaiting.
