TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
1. Raise feeding foot A, Fig. 5 by moving lifter B upward.
2. Place both feet upon the treadle.
3. Turn top of handle wheel over toward you to start
machine. (If hand wheel is fitted on front of machine, turn
top of hand wheel from left to right to start machine.)
4. Allow the feet to move freely with the motion of the
treadle. Continue this motion with an alternating pressure
of heel and toe until a regular easy movement is acquired
and the hand wheel is kept in continuous rotation by use
of the feet alone.
5. When familiar with the treadle movement, and you are
able to re-start the machine without turning the hand
wheel in the wrong direction, place a piece of material
under the feeding foot.
6. Lower feeding foot by lowering lifter and operate
machine until you have become accustomed to guiding the
material.
Material is moved along by the feeding foot only, and the
direction of stitching can be changed as de- sired, by
turning wings, Fig.32. To make a curved line of stitching,
operate machine slowly and; without turning work, turn
the revolving wings enough to produce the desired curve.
Feeding foot rises between each stitch while needle is in
the material. With needle serving as pivot, material can be
turned in any direction. When desired, the feeding foot
may be fixed to work in a straight line, in any direction, by
tightening the knurled screw A, fig. 22.
Never turn the work or alter the direction of the feed
while the foot is pressing on the material, as this may
cause missed stitches and damage the surface of the
work.

NEEDLES
Needles for MACHINES 29K71, 29K72 and 291<73 are
of Class and Variety 29 x 3 for cloth and 29 x 4 for leather.
Needles 29 x 3 are made in sizes 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21,
22, 23, 24 and 25, Needles 29 x 4 are made In Sizes 9, 11,
14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.
The above needles regularly have nickel finish but can be
supplied with chromium finish If ordered.
The size of the needle to be used should be deter- mined
by the size of the thread which must pass freely through
the eye of the needle. Rough or uneven thread, or thread
which passes with difficulty through the eye of the needle
will interfere with the successful use of the machine.
Orders for needles must specify the Quantity required, the
Size number, also the Class and Variety numbers separated
by an x.
The following IS an example of an Inte111glble order:
“100 No. 16, 29 x 3 Needles", for cloth.
“100 No. 16, 29 x 4 Needles", for leather,
The best stitching results will be obtained by using the
needles sold by Singer Sewing Machine Company.
THREAD
Left twist thread should be used in the needle. Either right
or left twist thread can be used for the bobbin.
To determine the twist, hold the thread as shown. Turn the
thread over toward you between the thumb and forefinger
of the right hand; if left twist, the strands will wind tighter.
If right twist, the strands will unwind.
