SINGER 114W110 - Manual (Page 3)

DESCRIPTION
Machine 114 w 110 is designed for sewing braid on waists,
cloaks, suits, dresses, skirts, robes, opera wraps, uniforms,
millinery goods and a great variety of other articles such as
curtains, table covers, mantel scarfs, etc., all of which are made
very attractive by the ornamental designs produced by the
machine. Fabrics, including fine chiffon, georgette, china silk,
net and similar sheer materials, also the heavier fabrics such as
broad cloth, velvet, etc., arc stitched with ecjual satisfaction by
the machine.
The braid can be sewn “flat on,” or it can be sewn “edge on”
for what is known as “standing” braid. When the machine is
u.scd for sewing the braid “flat on,” the invisible lock stitch is
made, the stitches being placed in the centre on the underside of
the braid. When the braid is sewn “edge on,” one of the edges of
the braid stands upward, producing artistic effects different from
those obtained when the braid is stitched on flat. (See pages 18
and 20).
The braid is taken from a s])ool located at the top of the
machine, and passed down through a tube to a suitable guide
which conducts it to the needle in the desired position for stitching.
Braid guides can be furnished for various descriptions of braids as
shown on page 15, and samples of the braid to be used should
accompany orders for guides.
The usual method for sewing on the braid is to follow a
pattern that has been stamped or traced upon the fabric. With a
little practice the operator can produce ornamental designs with­
out the aid of patterns.
The machine has one needle and one oscillating shuttle.
Speed
The speed of the machine is limited only by the skill of the
operator. The machine should be started at a speed of about 600
stitches per minute and this speed can be increased when the
operator becomes proficient and the nature of the work permits.
When the machine is in operation the balance wheel should always
turn over from the operator.
When the machine is received from the factory it should be
thoroughly cleaned and oiled.
