I’ve been thinking about jumping into the sewing game for a few months and this weekend at an estate sale I purchased these machines knowing absolutely nothing about them. We only spent $35 for both plus quite a few more things so if they suck it’s no biggie.
I’ve done some google searches on them but haven’t found much for either. Does anyone have some familiarity with either of these? Or some sites/resources to check? I’m mostly just interested in the performance I can expect out of the machines. The other owner had some canvas around so I would assume one/both can handle heavier fabrics?
TIA!

Have you tried them out ? I do not know much about different machines. I have a 1948 Singer that sews just about anything I have tried so far. I have figured out that I want reverse and a zigzag stitch option on my second machine....

Using the right needle for material used is a big part of the puzzle. If you post pictures of the machines it would help to see what you have.
