I suspect that if there was a list for people who wanted to be apprenticed to Eric, it would be as long as the list of those who want to be apprentices at Hermes, and for the same reasons

Take a job as an apprentice sewer where Eric (Gottaknow) works. You will learn what you need to know to use the machine..That is that.

And we're hiring next month!

I'm not sure what a full fell folder is? Is it by any chance this gadget as shown in this video.  If so, i think I'm going to like the singer 300w as this looks very efficient and relatively easy.  I'm a novice so would i be able to get literature about how to properly "set up" a 300w? I think the 300w is already set up for 1/4 inch.  Not sure what all is involved in setting up a machine.

That is a full fell folder, but the person using it needs some training. 

As I said before, chainstitch machines are not really for novices. Even though the 300w series are about as basic as they get, very different from lockstitch machines. Instead of hooks, there are loopers. There is different terminology such as looper gauge, looper avoid, synchronization, spreaders, and on and on. They are a necessity for apparel manufacturing for speed, seam stretch, no bobbin changes. They have limited use in leatherwork due to the fact that the chain is exposed and subject to abrasion. Without the theory knowledge, the manual is of little use in keeping them sewing.

I actually have a 300w 201, and a 300u 205, and others, after 28 yrs I'm selling everything in my shop and moving somewhere warm. I have no idea how to sell this equipment,  or who buys it fast but I can't move until it's sold.  Could someone please give me some advice?
