Machine Sewing Book, Singer 1928 (Vintage Original) RARE

MACHINE SEWING Book by the Singer Manufacturing Company - a Teacher’s Textbook subtitled "A TREATISE ON THE CARE AND USE OF FAMILY SEWING MACHINES AND THEIR ATTACHMENTS"

This is an original, complete book from Singer. It is in great condition! The 1928 revision has 159 pages.

Published primarily for teachers of Home Economics, these are few and far between and becoming harder and harder to find as more and more Singer collectors see the value in owning such a quality book with a wealth of information.

Copyright 1928. Primarily, this is one of the most excellent resources for Singer Attachment collectors as it references many, many Singer Sewing Machine Attachments - including some really scarce attachments!
