    Written for learning the ins and outs of The Singer 401 401A , 403 , and applicable for any slant-o-matic singer including
    500A , or 500 Rocketeer , and a great reference book for any of the Singer Slant-O-Matic machines 401 401A 403 !!!
    And a great reference for models 201,  301 ,  & the 221 Featherweight & their attachments & buttonholer !
    This book was written for High School Home Economics school teachers, who taught the use of nearly all of the attachments, and cams for the singer sewing machines, and SPECIFICALLY,
    the 401A singer, as well as the 403.
    And since nearly all slant style machines use the same attachments,
    and discs, this is a very useful book, for all slant style singer sewing machines.
    It is the best Instructional Text I know of for The 401A!,.......... And this text can apply to many of the similar singer slant style models!
    This text is printed on pre drilled 3 hole paper,
    which makes it easy to put it into a 3 ring binder when you receive it.
    Great for Any singer including the Rocketeer 500A , or 500 , 503 , or 503A  !!! Just remember to refer to the CAM stitch chart in the lid of your 500 , or 503 rocketeer , for your proper knob selections. How to use and care for the machine, and how to use the various attachments. This is a 194-page copy (made from the original manual, and not a copy of a copy) of the original sewing machine textbook or manual.
    NO Cover , No Dustjacket. Just good clean clear 194 easy to read copy pages!
    The shipping cost depends on YOUR CHOICE of shipping with tracking. This is a thick & heavy piece of reading!
    You can choose economy shipping for .25 , or PRIORITY MAIL (2-3 business day -"not a guaranteed delivery time estimate" ) for .99
    I have seen some priority mail take a week, and some economy mail take 2-3 days,.. go figure! ,...But the choice is yours.
    This manual offers the same support as the owner's Manual  ONLY BETTER & WITH A WHOLE LOT MORE!!! A truly wonderful reference book That really takes the place of the owner's manual, and adds a great wealth of knowledge & resources that are so hard to find!
    A great reference book for the Singer Slant-O-Matic machines ! Just remember to refer to the CAM stitch chart in the lid of your 500 , or 503 rocketeer , for your proper knob selections. How to use and care for the machine, and how to use the various attachments. Sewing techniques , and tips in a no nonsense , easy to follow text !  The 403 is exactly like the 401, EXCEPT it does not’ have a built-in cam stack. In order to produce a zigzag or decorative stitch, the machine relies upon an insertable cam. It uses the exact same cams as the 401.  This text is more than helpful for singer slant-o-matic 600 , 603 , and some 700 series slant machines as well !
    The Text is printed on both sides of the paper, making this an easy follow product. The pictures & lettering are clear and very readable.
    This is a 194-page, black and white, unbound copy of the original manual.  The diagrams & lettering are clear and readable.

    Regarding FEEDBACK:
    First of all, I apologize for not promptly leaving the positive feedback you the buyer deserve.
    I am always happy to leave feedback,
    You the seller deserve positive feedback. You paid for your item, and that's all you need to do.
    so of course you deserve positive feedback.
    but
    Please, please do not take this personal. After 10 yrs of selling on ebay, I leave response feedback.
    Which means, when I am assured you the customer are happy, - namely you left positive feedback, then
    I leave the feedback you deserve, and you should receive .
    This is what ebay rules have done to sellers.
    It forces us to be frightened rabbits, and hold back on feedback, until the transaction is complete, and satisfactory.
