Maybe you have heard of it: Singer's Teacher's Textbook of Machine Sewing. This edition (the best edition) was published in 1960. It's the holy grail of sewing machine manuals, particularly if you have a Slant-O-Matic from the 400 or 500 series.
It was the manual they used to teach the courses at the Singer Sewing Center. It covers everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) you want to know about your sewing machine, attachments, sewing techniques, maintenance, and even history of the sewing machine.
The tricky part is it's rare and usually costs about $150.00 to get a copy.
But lucky me! My husband got it for me for Valentine's Day. So romantic. :)
And it is amazing. Seriously amazing.
I have spent hours reading it and re-reading it. It's super fun for a Slant-O-Matic Fanatic like me.
I will be sharing some of my favorite bits and some of the most useful information from the book in future posts.
Thanks for sharing. Pls let me know if you are interested in selling. TY
