copy of the Singer manual!
This manual is professionally printed
on the same heavy-weight brilliant-white paper as the
original Singer manual!
Description:
This listing is for a professional reproduction of the Singer Manufacturing Company “Student's Manual of Machine Sewing.”
This manual was printed and published by the Singer Company in 1941, and distributed from the Singer Building in New York. As stated by Singer, it was “Specially Prepared for Students in Schools and Colleges.”
This is NOT a standard "Xerox" copy of the Singer manual! It is professionally printed on the same heavy-weight brilliant-white paper as the original Singer manual! It is super clean, the text and the illustrations are very sharp, and it is nearly identical in size and in paper type to the original Singer manual.
Unlike the original 74 year old manual that has become frail, brittle, mildewed, stained and yellowed after so many years, this manual looks like an original Singer manual that has been preserved in
NEW CONDITION
!
Just like the Singer company printed their manual on their in-house printing press, we printed this manual on our in-house printing press. This manual may also serve you for the next 74 years.
In fact, if we didn't tell you,
you could not tell the difference
between this manual and the
original manual!
This manual will teach you everything you need to know about many Singer machine models, such as:
Class 15 Machines (15, 15-30, 15-86, 15-87, 15-88, 15-91, etc.)
Class 66 Machines (66, 66-1, 66-4, 66-8, 66-8, 66-14, 66-16, 66K, etc.)
Class 99 Machines (99, 99-1, 99-12, 99-13, 99-24, 99-31, 99K, etc.)
Class 101 machines (101, 101-2, 101-3, 101-4, 101-11, 101-12, etc.)
Class 201 Machines (201, 201-2, 201K, etc.)
As well as classes
115, 127, 128, and 221 machines.
This large-edition 60-page Instruction manual is complete and very clean with no "black dots," smudges, stains, or any other imperfections. No pages are missing, dirty, or damaged.
The manual will teach you how to use and care for your Singer sewing machine. It also teaches how to use most of the standard Singer accessories that come with the Singer machines. It was used for many years as the “sewing text book” for students in schools and colleges. The manual includes some 80 different sewing subjects, such as “forming a proper stitch,” “regulating length and width,” “using a binder,” and dozens of other subjects...
