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.
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.
