PILE OR MOSS STITCH
The raised pile or moss stitch or produced by adjusting the machine so
that it will drop the stitches in loose loops on the material. To accomplish this,
turn handle K to the front , loosen the wing screw B, Fig.3 and turn the
needle holder so that the hook of the needle will pint directly to the back of
the machine, then tighten the wing sc rew. Reach under the bed of the
machine with the left hand, grasp the knurled end Z, Fig. 10 of the operating
worm gear, draw the worm gear to the left and while holding it turn handle K
around to the right directly to the ba ck, the release the knurled and of the
gear.
The looper will then be set in the opposite direction to that which i s
required for the chain stitch, or with the notch of the looper at the front of the
needle while handle K is at the front.
By operating the machine and turni ng handle K rapidly, so as to make
very small circles of dropped stitch loop s laid one on the other , raised pile
work is produced. The high er the needle is set the longer the loop will be.
The size of the thread and thickness of the material sued will have to be
considered when adjusting the machine for pile stitching.
