LANDIS “77”
-7-
As for sewing the channel, and the general
handling of stitching, you will find the Model
“77” McKay Stitcher without doubt the easi-
est simplest machine to operate and you will
find it extremely so in sewing in the channel
and around the toe. There is such a marked
difference between this and other machines
that it is quite noticeable.
After stitching, cut the front thread of the
needle loop, the thread nearest you, close to
the work, raise the presser foot and remove
the shoe. (See figure No. 6).

ALOFT WORK
ALOFT STITCHING is easily accomplished with
the Aloft Channel Groover which is easy to oper-
ate, the channel operation requiring but a second
or two, and when properly done, it permits of
practically closing the grooved channel over the
thread. (See figure No. 7).
The Aloft Presser Foot should be inserted when
stitching aloft. This Presser Foot can be used for
any other type of channel work. You will find aloft
stitching extremely simple.
THREAD
It is highly important that a good grade of right twist thread be used, and should you experience difficulty
in breaking thread, examine and test your thread.
SIZES OF THREAD AND NEEDLES
For all ordinary purposes, it has been found that No. 33 needle and 4 cord right twist thread is very
satisfactory. Should it be desired to use a different size needle and thread, the chart below will show the
sizes of needles to be used with different sizes of thread.
We recommend needles and right twist thread as follows:
