Old sewing machine question .. EMDEKO machine
 

I own a sailboat. As such, lots to sew. But .. I don't know anything about
sewing.

I got a book, told me to find an old machine, and I posted in town.

A lady called and offered me an old EMDEKO sewing machine. It is metal.

Is this machine going to do it for me? Will I be able to sew through cloth
such as Sunbrella?

Dunno... Is it like one of these?

A little reading seems to point to it being quite a workhorse, so if you
got it free/for less than $20, it's certainly worth trying! :) If it
isn't quite up to the job, you can pass it on to someone sewing less
tough stuff than you need it for.
