Find a Vintage Sewing Machine Guide

Finding the perfect vintage sewing machine is a bit like a treasure hunt. Even when you've decided on a model, you will still need to find one for sale and then assess it to make sure it is right for you.

In the Find & Evaluate a Vintage Sewing Machine course you will learn the pros and cons of the various places you may find a vintage sewing machine for sale and I teach you how to assess the machine before you purchase it. Some people are not interested in watching video tutorials and just prefer to read the information so we are offering the guide from the course as a separate purchase.

The guide Find & Evaluate a Vintage Sewing Machine Guide is a downloadable ebook in PDF format that contains information that you'll refer to again and again.

Here is a sample of what is included in the guide:

I talk about vintage SINGER® sewing machines in the guide. The concepts that I teach you will apply to any vintage sewing machine but I prefer to focus on SINGER® because of the number of machines and spare parts that are available. I would recommend that anyone who is just starting to purchase vintage sewing machines limit their search to SINGER® sewing machine models.
