| Coverstitch machines need cleaned and oiled, this is how my Yamato VC2700 looked inside the freearm, when I purchased it from the son of a woman who had been given it, as part of her severance package, when the factories in Lincolnton, North Carolina, shut down, after the NAFTA Treaties were signed. It destroyed most of the textile manufacturing underpinning the local economy, that was not furniture manufacturing, or tobacco and cigarette manufacturing. |

| End of freearm open to clean and oil, and thread looper |

| Front of freearm opens easily for cleaning, oiling, and threading the looper |
 |
| This attachment was still on my Yamato VC2700, left overfrom the factory. This one looks like my beltloop attachments for my BabyLock Evolve coverstitch/serger combination machine. It included a holder for the roll of fabrics, which fed from on top of the machine, into this "Hidem" (hide them- meaning the raw sides of bias tape, or other narrow fabric strips, used for belt loops, or other strap like fabric wrapped products |
