Great video explaining how to 'lock' the stitch on a chain stitch machine!

nice! Thanks for the link!

If you want the 'skinny' on this technique, look around 7:20 on the video.

That is a treasure (machine) thank you. I love looking at things from the 1890's era. We bought a country home 2-story house built in 1890 (bought 2001) - and I am finding so much fun in looking back to see how people lived then - and this machine is definitely a treasure! Thank you for the reference.
