Yes. it sews a BIG chainstitch. (like a purpose built basting machine)
It seems that the intent was to have the material being sewed stationary and the machine would move along as it was hand cranked. Can;t think of any other reason for the rollers on the bottom.
I am saving the odd iron contraption, but returning this machine to it's standard mounted to a board, with a normal hand wheel support.
