Default knits and the singer 15-91?

Ok, so as I was excited to mention in my first post- I have now a singer 15-91, 1948. While my uncle is busy servicing the machine to make sure all is well with her before I plug her in- I have been reading all I can about the machine. And now I have a question. Numerous other forums have users of the machine complaining about its sewing ability on fabric like knits. I plan to up-cycle some knit items into bags and quilts and scarves etc. So this worries me. What are your takes on this notion? Is it just inexperience with the machine? Since several of the posters were saying that “old household sewing” didn’t include knit fabric- only cottons, linens, silk etc. But, since knitwear has been around for ages, I am guessing this machine can actually sew threw a knit fabric if needed.
