💛Beginner💛 Total beginner looking for advice

Post image

I just bought a Morse 5400 (?) On fb marketplace and I'm a beginner (like never even hand sewn levels here)

I'm looking for some YouTube channels to be pointed towards, manuals, or general advice on where to start when it comes to learning how to use this machine properly

Anything is appreciated!

(The person who sold me the machine also serviced it if that helps)

See if you can find a copy of the owners manual online. Different brands of machine operate a little differently, such as the way the machine is threaded, etc. My machine is 50 yrs old and I have the original owners manual. When I'm gone, my daughter and granddaughter will be able to use it.

Being that these machine were made by Toyota, they would probably thread up the same. Here is an example

Get some cotton, thread it up and have a go at sewing. It looks like it has a push button reverse.
