The First Stitches with the Willcox and Gibbs Automatic
Today we had the moment of truth. It was great fun, because my brother in law, who found the machine in a charity shop some months ago, arrived last night and is staying with us at the moment.
The stitches are really even. I have the gauge set at 12 stitches per inch.
This is the back of the work. It is a single thread chain stitch, with the loops on the back. I'm looking forward to trying it out with different threads and using it for decorative stitching.
I suspect judging from those stitches, it would put many of todays machines' to shame. What a lovely find :-)
