Bobbin Winder for Sewing Machine
The nature and object of this invention are to operate the bobbing-winding attachment while the mechanism of the sewing machine proper is at rest and vice versa, without having the fly-wheel or pulley revolve upon the shaft, (an objection which has never heretofore been overcome) or necessitating any change in the construction of a sewing machine requiring the removal of any of the parts thereof and the substitution of new parts therefor, thus avoiding expense and adapting it to be attached to any of the standard machines now in use, or being manufactured, without any alteration whatever, other than simply enlarging the holes through the centers of the fly-wheels already secured thereto and attaching my improvements, which will be hereinafter more fully set forth and described.

Wax-Thread Sewing Machine
In the drawings, the part marked A represents the front lower part of the machine ... known as the “New England Wax-Thread Sewing Machine”, to which my improvements are shown applied in the drawings. From the top part of A rises the post B, to the top of which is secured the needle and work plates C, while upon the needle-plate C is secured an adjustable guide-plate a, known as the “Springer Guide-Plate”, for the reason it was invented by William A. Springer, of Marlborough, Massachusetts ...
... My invention relates particularly to improvements in that class of sewing machines in which two rows of stitches are formed at the same time and as such machines were constructed previous to my invention the needles were arranged opposite each other, but in my invention they are arranged diagonally to each other ...
... A description of the general construction and operation of the sewing machine is not deemed necessary, since the same is well known, the machine having been built and used under patents:

Embroidering Attachment for Sewing Machine
This invention consists in a thread-enchaining device for the production of an enchained embroidery-thread, which is laid in the form of a braid upon the surface of the fabric to be embroidered, such enchained thread or braid not passing through the fabric, but being secured thereon by stitching it to the surface thereof. This thread-enchaining device is mainly composed of a vibrating needle, operating in combination with a presser-foot and feeding mechanism, said needle constituting an embroidery-thread carrier, which has a vibratory motion in line of the length of the braid or enchained stitch and, as an attachment to a sewing machine, may, for convenience sake, be operated by the needle-bar thereof, but the action of which is in dependent of that of the sewing-needle used to stitch or sew the enchained embroidery stitch on the surface of the fabric.
