1949 Singer Sewing Machine Manual
- Prepare yourself mentally for sewing.
- Think about what you are going to do.
- Never approach sewing with a sigh or lackadaisically.
- Good results are difficult when indifference predominates.
- Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade.
- When there are urgent housekeeping chores, do these first so that your mind is free to enjoy your sewing.
- When you sew, make yourself as attractive as possible.
- Put on a clean dress.
- Keep a little bag of french chalk near your sewing machine to dust your fingers at intervals.
- Have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on.
- If you are constantly fearful that a visitor might drop in or your husband will come home, and you will not look neatly put together, you will not enjoy your sewing as you should.
The text in question was in fact printed in a edition of the Singer Sewing Book written by Mary Brooks Picken (a prolific author of books on needlework, sewing, and textile arts) and published by the Singer Sewing Machine Company in 1949.
