Abstract
There is disclosed herein an improved see-through sewing gauge comprising a gauge means for controlling the depth of a stitch during a sewing operation and having a window portion disposed therein adapted to cooperate with an opening provided in an associated throat plate so as to enable an operator to continuously monitor the condition of the bobbin thread supply disposed below said gauge. The gauge and window combination is movably secured to the throat plate of the sewing machine in such a manner as to be easily adjustable thereby enabling an operator to conveniently set the gauge to any desired depth of stitch.

A see-through sewing machine gauge adapted to enable an operator to accurately control the distance between the edge of material being sewn and the line of stitching and simultaneously monitor the condition of a bobbin thread supply, said gauge comprising:
- a throat plate having an opening provided therein, said opening being positioned so as to afford a view of said bobbin thread supply when said throat plate is in an operative relationship to said sewing machine;
- a gauge member surrounding at least a portion of said opening;
- means adjustably securing said gauge member to said throat plate;
- and
- a transparent member retained by said gauge member and overlying said opening so as to prevent objects from interferring with said bobbin thread supply and enable visual monitoring of said bobbin thread supply.
