Industrial Sewing Machine - help

Amazing Sewing Machines

Sales and repairs. Really good guy. Started as an industrial repair tech.

Complicating thing even more is that model is a cylinder arm machine made for heavy weight goods. Definitely not the best choice to learn with the roller foot.

yes but if he master that then think how good he will be when he gets a little machine. I learned to sew on a Singer Post machine.....136W102. first project was a jumper. I got so I could do one or two stitches at a time. It was an experience. I say let him go for it and don't put him down for the choice, it might be ok.

Thank you for your friendly advice. I should have explained that I just bought the machine at a flea market without a motor, and I bought a treadle and belt elsewhere. I checked the Singer sites previously and I was hoping to find a simpler manual or reference material for people who do not know how to sew at all (ie) what was the first book/manual you used when you learned to sew? Thanks Connor

I'd add to this that when you're first sewing it's good to have a machine that can go s-l-o-w-l-y so that you can maintain control and not get that terrified feeling. We got my cousin sewing not too long ago by using a simple zig zag hand crank machine. He could easily control speed, stops and starts.
