A modular, double-height animal boarding system which can be installed inside a building having limited headroom while permitting persons up to six feet in height to enter lower runs without stooping. The boarding system has a lower section divided into plural lower runs, each lower run having a rear wall and a door that opens outwardly away from the rear wall. At least one upper section is supported above the lower section and is divided into plural upper runs. The upper runs have doors that open onto a catwalk. The upper sections are provided with a plumbing system so that each upper run has a drain through which waste can be washed, the waste from each run then draining into a single drainpipe, and, thereafter, draining into a floor gutter connected to any suitable waste collection system. The upper runs have floors which are sealed against leakage of liquid material to the lower runs by a floor seal provided around the perimeter of the floors.

A thread wiper in accordance with claim 9, further comprising a microprocessor for disabling said thread wiper when at least one of the walking foot is set to a value greater than a predetermined percentage of a maximum permitted rise and turn back operation of the sewing machine is disabled. 11. A thread wiper in accordance with claim 10, wherein the predetermined percentage is approximately 50% of the maximum permitted rise. 12. A thread wiper in accordance with claim 9, further comprising a microprocessor for enabling said thread wiper when the walking foot is set to a value less than a predetermined percentage of a maximum permitted rise and turn back operation of the sewing machine is enabled. 13. A thread wiper in accordance with claim 12, wherein the predetermined percentage is approximately 50% of the maximum permitted rise. 14. In a sewing machine including a presser foot and a needle reciprocatable along a path between a raised position and a lowered position, a thread wiper mounted sidewardly relative to the needle, said thread wiper assembly comprising: a picker arm while in a retracted position being disposed sidewardly relative to said needle, said picker member having a terminating free end; an actuating member supporting said picker arm, said actuating member lowering said picker arm in a direction substantially parallel to the needle until the free end of said picker arm is at a level between the presser foot and the needle; sidewardly thrusting said picker arm at a first angle, relative to a vertical axis, towards the needle along a path between the needle and the presser foot without interference; advancing further sideways said picker arm at a second angle, relative to the vertical axis, greater than the first angle; and retracting away and raising said picker arm in a reverse movement to complete the cycle. 15. A method for cyclically operating a thread wiper mounted to a side of a sewing machine having a needle and a walking foot, said thread wiper including a picker arm terminating in a free end, comprising the steps of: lowering the picker arm in a direction substantially parallel to the needle until the free end of the picker arm is at a level between the needle and the walking foot; sidewardly thrusting the picker arm at a first angle, relative to a vertical axis, towards the needle along a path between the needle and the walking foot without interference; advancing the picker arm towards the needle at a second angle, relative to the vertical axis, greater than the first angle; and retracting away while raising the picker arm in a reverse movement to complete the cycle. 16. A method in accordance with claim 15, further comprising disabling said thread wiper when at least one of the walking foot is set to a value greater than a predetermined percentage of a maximum permitted rise and turn back operation of the sewing machine is disabled. 17. A method in accordance with claim 16, wherein the predetermined percentage is approximately 50% of the maximum permitted rise. 18. A method in accordance with claim 15, further comprising enabling said thread wiper when the walking foot is set to a value less than a predetermined percentage of a maximum permitted rise and turn back operation of the sewing machine is enabled. 19.
