Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 February 1917 — Using the Presser Foot. [ARTICLE]

Using the Presser Foot.

This little suggestion should inters est the busy sewer. When numerous basting threads are to be removed, place the material under the presser foot of the machine to hold it firmly. Clip the thread at intervals and never pull out a long thread in one piece, for In doing so you may spoil the material. The presser foot of the machine will also be found very useful when ripping a seam; the garment may be thus held firmly and a dull penknife used to cut the threads.
