Born in 1898 according to the sewsalot site.
The manual contains full instructions on using it to sew everything like a normal straight stitch - even decorative stitches! The underside reveals the chain stitch. There are a few attachments and I have a box that I had waiting for it.
I will try to use it as the manual suggests. :-) I too have my favorite everyday machines so we'll see what happens after I take it for a run. I have another chain stitcher (Singer model 24) and I hardly use it - I like to look at it and admire it, but it hasn't been used much. Well, to be fair, it could be that the belt broke and I haven't put the new belt on it yet. I have some chicken appliques that need decorative stitching added to the outlines.
