Sewing machines

The purpose of this book is two-fold: first, to teach the underlying principles and construction of the mechanism of the sewing machine in such a manner that a teacher can operate any machine quickly and easily, tho she may never have seen that particular machine before; and, second, to stimulate interest in a wider and more complete use of the machine in clothing classes.
