First, I just want to say thank you to Constabulary and Wiz for helping me out in the other thread I posted about sewing machines. I am a total noob to this but hope to learn as much as I can.
I was fortunate to pick up an Adler 67 from CL for 100 bucks tonight! It came with a bunch of stuff and I'm in the process of trying to figure it out.
I tested it at the guys house and it runs. It probably needs a new power cord....the one on there now is old and ratty. I also would like to clean it up as much as possible (How exactly do you go about cleaning up a sewing machine).
It came with a Singer 1/3 HP 5.5 amp motor. It also came with a bunch of different presser feet. What are the basics I need to know? Do you guys have any good resources I can go and check out on how to operate this thing?
Also, I am going to primarily be sewing wallets, bags, straps, and belts. What needle/thread combos will work best for that.
I know I am going to have a bajillion questions but I think that's a pretty good start.
Joe
