TOP PRODUCTION FEATURES OF SINGER CLASS 69 MACHINES
AUTOMATIC OPERATION - The operator merely starts the machine and as the stitching is
completed, the needle and bobbin threads are automatically trimmed close to the under side
of the work and the needle is raised to its highest point ready for the next piece.
EASE OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE - The machine is set up on the table with the end of
the cylinder bed toward the operator so that the work may be conveniently handled.
Threading and oiling the machine are simply and quickly accomplished. Adjustments, as
required, are easily made with conveniently located regulators and controls.
MAXIMUM STITCH STRENGTH - Barring and tacking are accomplished with uniformity and
speed. Your products will have maximum strength with a minimum number of stitches (you'll
save on time and thread).
