Excerpt from Sewing Machines

The day Of the hand-made garment is long past, and the efficient worker is making use Of the machine, not Only for plain sewing, but for every type of work that garment-making requires. Why overhand lace when a little practice will enable one to use a device that not only sews on the lace, but hems the edge as well?

In order that the school work shall carry over to the best advantage in the home, it is firmly believed that a sewing laboratory should be equipped with as many makes of sewing machines as possible, and, in any event, that each type Of mechanism should be represented. Not all homes use the same make Of machine, and the student naturally wishes to Operate a machine like that in her home. There is still an other reason for the use Of several makes Of machine in the school laboratory. Every girl is a potential customer Of some sewing machine company, and a knowledge of every standard make of machine should be apart of her general information.
