Funny thing about learning about old sewing machines….
I realize this thread is pretty old considering what the internet puts out daily but I have recently gotten into sewing and was also given one of these exact same machines.
The funny thing about old sewing machines is their seemingly addictive properties. I was first given an old 1936 singer just because I couldn’t afford to have a seat professionally upholstered to an old 1931 Ford truck I have.
when the lady seen that I actually used the machine she had given me she gave me another nice Royal De Luxe… then they started popping up on eBay and I may have bought one or two….
The funniest thing I’ve realized about old sewing machines though is how that when people find out I sew and adore the old ones… they somehow find one up in an attic, shed, or basement to give to me. I’ve learned how to work on them quite well.
My most recent one given to me just days ago was this beautiful Western Zig Zag sewing machine. All I’ve delt with are the straight stitch machines in the past but this one has me looking for every scrap piece of material I can find just to play with the machine some more.
Like I said, I know this thread is old but…. Mrs. railroadersbrat, do you still have a copy of that manual you found? Or maybe the link where you down loaded yours from?
