New National Sewing Machine, c1910. Made by New Home

This circa 1910 3/4-size New National was made by New Home Sewing Machine Co, Orange, Mass, USA. It is a light-running machine and has the New Home greyhound logo on the beadplate. Let take a closer look at the mechanics and operation of this machine, and how to sew with it. This machine is housed in a wooden "convertible" cabinet which would allow it to be used as a had-cranked portable, or inserted in a larger cabinet and used as a foot-powered stationary machine.
