Adjusting the Edge-Stitcher
After attaching the edge-stitcher to the machine,
turn the balance wheel slowly by hand to see that
the needle goes through the center of the needle hole.
The distance of the line of stitching from the edge
of the material in the slots can be regulated by
pushing the lug (A, Fig. 48) to the right or left.
If it moves hard, put a drop of oil under the blue

sible to stitch on the very edge. Place one edge in
slot 1 and the other in slot 4, and adjust lug (A,
Fig. 48) until both edges are caught by the stitching.
Hold the two pieces slightly overlapped to keep
them against the ends of the slots. The thread ten-
sions should be loose to avoid puckering of fine lace.
