International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society

The purpose of the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society is to foster the collecting of, and research into, sewing machines.

Class 24

The Singer Automatic

This is the simplest form of sewing machine; it has neither shuttle nor bobbin, no tensions to adjust and the machine is ready for stitching when the needle is threaded. It makes the single-thread chain stitch. It has many points of preference that are obvious when it is compared with similar machines of other makes.

The Singer Chain Stitch Portable Hand Machine meets the lightest, daintiest sewing requirements.
