Abstract
"NEXT to the plough, this is perhaps humanity's most blessed instrument." (Louis Antoine Godey.)
In some homes the sewing machine is the most sadly neglected and ill-used servant. It is often left set up, exposed to dust, dampness and scratching, used as a table and otherwise abused.
It is not right to have a machine stitching imperfectly and noisily and used for long periods without maintenance when a little attention can keep it performing quietly and efficiently.
