Originally Published - 1939!
Up for bid is another marvelous Dakota Prairie Treasures CD Republication™ of the original ''Students Manual of Machine Sewing by Singer'' with NO RESERVE!'' We scanned and reformatted a scare original and are pleased to offer you this wonderful vintage Depression Era Sewing Machine Use, Maintenance and Attachment Instruction Manual for your personal recreation or professional sewing pleasures!
This item has clear, concise directions to use and maintain various Singer Featherweight Sewing Machines! These books frequently sell for $50 to $102.50 each on Atomic Mall!

This is certainly a fine source of historically valuable information, techniques and inspiration for the creative dress seamstress and fabric artists out there who love to recreate clothing using the very best sewing machines manufactured in the Depression Era. I have a half dozen of the various Featherweight models with all the attachments and this guide ends the confusion of how to use them!
