Description
A lockstitch is the kind of stitch made by most present-day sewing machines. It uses two threads and quickly came to compete with the chain stitch, which uses only one thread and has the disadvantage of unraveling very easily.
The caption reads in the original French: Point de navette régulier.
Keywords: 1880s, 19th century, black & white, machine, reference book
