Kenmore
For stitching clothing, the best stitching is a straight stitch on a sewing machine (2.5 or 3.0 length). If you're sewing by hand, a straight stitch at a very short length may work, depending on how thick or sturdy the fabric is.

The Kenmore washing machine did not show up in the venerable Sears catalog that year, and no known photograph of the 1927 washing machine with a Kenmore brand on it exists.

One suggestion is that Kenmore came from Kenmore Avenue, a prominent street in Chicago. <a href="http://www.searsarchives.com/brands/kenmore.htm">From the Sears Archives</a>
If your stitch is too loose, the fabric will not be joined tightly.
There is a bracket you can remove on the top of the machine, under the cover. The bracket is used for blind stitching. Once the bracket is removed, just set your machine to blind stitch which will center the sewing needle. The needle will no longer move from center as long as you removed the right bracket. Two screws hold it in.
