To Oil the Ruffler
Occasionally apply a drop of oil to the working
parts of the ruffler at each of the places indicated by
arrows in Fig. 48. After oiling, operate the ruffler
on a waste piece of material to prevent the oil
soiling the work. If the ruffler does not plait evenly,
a drop of oil may remedy the trouble.
Slide Plate
When it is necessary to replace a slide plate in a
cloth plate, this can be done by removing the cloth
plate from the ihachine and slipping the slide plate
into the slideway from the throat plate end; or, if
desired, the slide plate can be replaced with the
cloth plate attached to the machine by holding the
slide plate at an angle of 45 degrees across the slide
opening and slipping one end of the spring under
one side of the slideway, then tipping the slide plate
and slipping the other end of the spring under the
opposite side of the slideway and swinging the slide
plate around straight, so that it will drop into
position.
To Use the Cloth Guide
To ensure accurate guiding of the work when
sewing close to the edge of the goods, the cloth
guide (D, Fig. 15, page 17) should be used. Fasten
the cloth guide to the cloth plate of the machine by
mean? of the clamping thumb screw (C, Fig. 15)
inserting the thumb screw into either one of the
two screw holes in the cloth plate of the machine.
The cloth guide can be adjusted to bring the edge of
the goods as close to the line of stitching as desired.
