Singer Heavy-Duty
This page is currently under construction.
Description
The Singer Heavy-Duty is a powerful sewing machine with more metal parts and a powerful motor that allows it to sew heavier fabrics (canvas, denim, etc) than other, lighter machines. The operation is nearly identical to the Singer Simple 3232, making it an excellent first or second step on your sewing journey!
Safety Concerns
The sewing machine makes use of a thick sewing needle that, when not used properly, can break and be hazardous to users. Breaks can be caused by excessive force when using the machine or trying to fix a snag in the stitching.
Training
We are currently building our training module for this tool. In the meantime, there are some very helpful videos that can help you familiarize yourself with the machine.
Self-training via this wiki, user manuals, or other sources is encouraged but does not substitute for the online training module. Students found using this tool without completing the Canvas training module are subject to disciplinary action which may include termination of Sandbox access.
