I have been given a brother industrial overlocker and a singer industrial sewing machine and have not the faintest idea on how to use or service either one. I have used domestic machines for many years but these are something else - can ayone help me with instructions both for using and maintaining??? |

| Just try going into search on your screen and type in sewing machine manuals and see what pops up. Sew4less on line also has manuals, parts and accessories and there are many other sites. You can also type in Google and use them to search. You can type in search engines under search and you might find some others. If you have a local dealer or repair service they could also order what you need and help you in several ways with info on your machines. I hope you enjoy your new machines. |

You can find instruction books on the Singer site. Another source is the Smithsonian. If the machine is over 50 years a lot of the manuals are archived there. I found a ruffler in an old treadle machine that was given to me and was able to locate the instructions for it on the Smithsonian site.
