Sewing Machine
Our improvement is in that class of machines which use a common sewing needle and make a hand-stitch or running-stitch, such as is made by hand and relates to an improved method of combining and arranging the motive and crimping wheels in plates or bearings having a spring between them and jointed near one end, which plates can be readily detached from the main body of the machine.
