When beginning to sew a good 2nd hand sewing machine is a good idea,, a sewing machine with metal parts is better than any others,
it will hold up better singer,,necchi, some brother sewing machines
are made with metal gear that hold up good.
if you can try sewing on the sewing machine before you buy it, you
really don't want to buy someone else's problem. repairing a
sewing machine can be expensive.
make sure you can get a manual for the machine,, so that you can
learn what the sewing machine can do & how to thread the sewing
will the person who owns the sewing machine let you see that it
will sew?
is it in good condition?
does it have a manual that comes with it?
does it have all it's parts & power cord & foot pedal?
machine, what stitches it will do.
people will tell you anything to sell a sewing machine , if the part
are not all there then leave the sewing machine there too.

here's a site with some reviews about the machine

good luck with your decision

Where can I get an Empisal Cavalier sewing machine manuel

To obtain a manual for your Empisal sewing machine, specifically the Cavalier model, you can explore the following options:
1. Manufacturer's Website: Visit the official website of Empisal or the company that manufactured the sewing machine. Look for a "Support" or "Downloads" section on their website. They often provide user manuals, guides, or documentation for their sewing machines. Search for the specific model or use their customer support contact information to inquire about obtaining a manual.
2. Online Manuals Databases: Several online platforms and databases host user manuals and documentation for various products, including sewing machines. Websites like ManualsLib, ManualsOnline, or Retrevo offer a wide collection of user manuals that you can search through. Enter the model name or number of your sewing machine, such as "Empisal Cavalier," and check if a manual is available for download.
3. Sewing Machine Forums and Communities: Engage in sewing machine forums or online communities where fellow sewing enthusiasts share information and resources. Ask other members if they have a manual for the Empisal Cavalier sewing machine or if they can guide you in finding one. They might possess a digital copy they can share with you or suggest reliable sources.
4. Local Sewing Machine Repair Shops: Pay a visit to local sewing machine repair shops or sewing supply stores in your area. They often have access to manuals for various sewing machine models, including Empisal machines. Inquire if they can provide a copy of the manual for the Cavalier model or direct you to a reliable source.
When searching for the manual, try to provide as much information as possible, including the exact model name or number. If "Cavalier" is not the model name, try to locate any other identifying information, such as a serial number or additional labels, that may assist in the search.
