They sew direct from the spools, and require novo winding of thread. 2. They are more easily understood and used, and less liable to derangement than mother machines. .3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by those machines is mach more firm, elastic and durable, especially upon articles which require to be washed and ironed, than any other stitch. 5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the un der thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful hi use, and retains this plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequently washed and ironed until they are worn out. IL The structure of the seam is such that, though It be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches, it will neither open, run, or navel, betremaina firm and durable. A large, fine assortment. 7. Unlike Otter machines, these fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton may be used upon the other side without lessening the strength or dura bility of the seam. This can be done on no other ma chine, and is agreat saving upon all articles stitched or made up with silk. 9. These machines, in addition to their superior mer its as instruments for sewing, by a change of adji,ist ment, easily . learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and ornamental work. # , EQUILIBTION if BOUNTIES!
