MACHINE SEWING SINGER BOOK-A TREATISE ON CARE AND USE OF SEWING MACHINES-1938

Description: THIS IS A PHYSICAL BOOK. It is a paperback reprint of the original out of print (OOP) hard cover book by Singer.This is the extremely rare and hard-to-find home economics teacher's textbook, which has been high-resolution scanned, image filtered, image optimized, lighting optimized, sharpened, and reprinted in paperback format. All artistic (computer-enhanced) efforts were made to improve sharpness and clarity from the original scanned book. This book describes all of the Singer sewing machine attachments, with detailed photographs, together with how to use the attachments. The book is 173 pages long."Machine Sewing: A Treatise on the Care and Use of Family Sewing Machines and Their Attachments, Specially Prepared for Teachers of Home Economics" is a treasure trove of information on the maintenance of sewing machines and how to use the attachments. This book, I am told, was given to middle and high school teachers of sewing and home economics classes, while the students were given a separate student guide. Whether you have a treadle, a Featherweight 221, a Singer 201 or any of the other Singer machines or competitor machines (White, New Home, Sears Kenmore, Bernina, Elna, Husqvarna, etc.), or those with the Greist attachments, this book is fantastic. ISMACS.net says "Considered to be THE manual for attachments and it commands ludicrous prices."Originally published as a teacher class guide, hard cover vintage copies of these are few and far between, and becoming harder and harder to find as more and more Featherweight and vintage sewing machine collectors see the value in owning such a great book with a wealth of information about attachments and how to adjust and maintain what are now vintage sewing machines. This is one of the, if not THE, best resource for Singer attachment collectors as it references many Singer sewing machine attachments by model number - including several of the really scarce attachments.It is also one of the most sought-after books for quilters who own Featherweights (Singer 221 or 222) and 201s, and other vintage sewing machine enthusiasts, as it teaches how to use those presser feet and machine attachments. Featherweight enthusiasts love it because there are illustrations referencing a 221 and attachment storage in the case. This book provides written and illustrated instructions and information for attachments with illustrated tips and ideas. The Machine Sewing book is referenced on Featherweight Fanatics as a must-have book.Machine Know-How, Troubleshooting, Stitch Formation, Vibrating or Long Shuttle, Oscillating Hook, Oscillating Shuttle, Rotary Hook, Single Thread Elastic Chain Stitch.Testing a Needle for StraightnessTension CorrectnessHow to Shorten & Replace a Treadle BeltThe Principal Parts of Lockstitch Sewing Machines and Their UsesFormation of a Lock StitchStitch Formation Diagrams for the Vibrating ShuttleSinger Chainstitch Sewing Machine No. 24Attachments:Chapter on the Binder & Bias TapeChapter on the Foot Hemmer & Adjustable Hemmer (giving names to each part of the attachment)Chapter on the TuckerChapter on the RufflerChapters on Special Labor-Saving Attachments: Darning, Shirring Plate, Gathering Foot, Quilter, Under braider, Edge-Stitcher, Hemstitcher (the rare & unique presser foot, not the picot edger attachment), Buttonholes; Binder Attachment, Narrow Hemmer, Adjustable Hemmer, Edge Stitcher, Shirring or Gathering Foot, Ruffler, How to Make Rosettes using your Ruffler Attachment, Quilter, Tucker Attachment, Buttonholer (Did you know you can even monogram or embroider using your Buttonholer Attachment?), Flange Hemmer, Cording or Zipper Foot, Blind Stitch Braider, Single Thread Embroidery Attachment #26538, Two-Thread Embroidery Attachment #35505, Gauge Presser Foot with Adjustable Guides, ZigZag Attachment #160620, Hemstitcher & Picot Edger Attachment, Blind Stitch Attachment, Singer craft Guide, Singer craft fagoter, Pinking Attachment, Hand Crank Pinker, Gripper (Sewing Bird), Embroidery or Darning Attachment, Stocking Darner.Copyright Information and Policy: This book is now in the public domain.
