Because of the quality workmanship and heavy materials of the early machines many of the antique sewing machines are still working models. If someone asked you to name a brand of sewing machine, chances are you'd answer Singer.
Some things you need to learn about however will take some time. Ensure the sewing machine is easy to use. Start by sewing on simple pieces of clothing such as a shirts or even pillow covers, avoid having to sew complex patterns or sewing on expensive pieces of clothing you have just purchased; if for some reason you fail on the fist project the piece would be ruined, so do yourself a favor and keep it as simple as possible while learning.
If you need to cut part of the clothing to make it the right size make sure you measure at least twice and be as precise as possible. There are lots of great online resourses for sewing, you can immediately download great ebooks, and often you get some great free bonuses like useful newsletters, free patterns, or online email support. If it s something that can be sewn, it s much cheaper to do it yourself than to buy it already made.
