Handmade on Broadway: Sewing Machines, Sergers, Needles, Threads, Reference Charts

Here is another list of DOWNLOADABLE PDF pamphlets I have gathered from around the web - almost entirely from various American university cooperative extension programs or university archives of such. (If you are not familiar with extension programs, they are pretty cool. They date back to 1914 and are the precursor to community colleges.) This is the fifth post in my Resource series. Please note that these are historic resources. They may refer to methods and items that are no longer sold or considered safe (home dry cleaning with gasoline, I'm looking at you). Do not follow such advice without exploring modern resources and using your best judgement. This batch I have two lists: Sewing Machines and Sergers; and Needles, Threads, Glossaries, Charts. Enjoy!
