At such points the cylinderneedles are partially elevated, so that the edge of the fabric may bequite easily pulled on to the needles. Too wide an edge would makeit difficult to operate the machine, and too narrow a bite would allowthe cloth to be easily pulled off the needles.

After the fabric has been pressed on to several needles at thispoint, it is well to go around to the other side of the machine and pullit up between the other set of dogs, and place it on about the samenumber of needles, going through the same operations as press the cloth on to a few needles between the feeds, and turn.

Thread the guides and hold the work down by hand, catchinghold of the cloth under the head with the left hand, while turning themachine slightly to bring other groups of needles into accessiblepositions to place the rest of the fabric on the empty needles. Repeatthis operation until all the needles have loops placed upon them, thenplace the other end of the fabric between the take-up rolls, and adjustthem to have a fairly taut tension on the fabric.
