Yes they do the chain stitch as they have no bobbin. I have 3 Wilcox & Gibbs machines. one treddle, one hand crank, and one on a base with a moter, but could be made back into treddle. They were in my dads museum, and they all would need to be re=stored by some one who knew their stuff. I KNOW NOTHING! would love to have at least one of them restored to be able to use it.

I have a chain stitch function on several of my vintage sewing machines, but none of them do embroidery-quality chain-stitching. :(
