What reading level is Shoe Making, Old And New book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
26 Old and New He began to experiment, using scraps of kid leather that he brought from Lynn shoe facto- ries.
He found that his sewing ma- chine wouldn't stitch leather neatly because the needle was bigger than the thread. The seams were loose and the stitches coarse.
But he was of the opinion that his machine could be made to stitch leather as nicely as did the "binders.'' To make it do so, he got around to his shop one and one-half hours ahead of time in the morning, and he left it one and o...ne-half hours late, putting in the extra time in his attempts to make his machine stitch leath- er.
Finding that the needle was too large, he went to the needle manu- facturers and got them to make needles of new shapes and sizes.
These needles he filed, and even smoothed down with emery paper to get them of the desired small size. He also went to the manu- facturers of silk and cotton threads, and got them to make new kinds of thread for his ex- periments. After months of pa- tient labor, he succeeded in stitch- ing leather on the machine so that its stitches compared favorably with the stitches of the shoe bind- ers.
