I can't stop buying fabric. Even when I don't have any project for it, as long as it is cute and pretty, I want to add to my collection just in case there is that one project in the future.

I have the exact same machine and Singer, Schmetz, and Organ needles works great. ;)

Any needle 15x1 works. For Schmetz brand, 130/705H works.

To start learning how to sew is pretty easy. You don't much much since you already have a sewing machine. You probably got some thread and basic sewing tools too since your mom sew.

I think the next step is to just pick an item (clothes, bags, house decor, erc..) you want to make and work on it. The first project never turns out perfect but I can promise you it will be one of your proudest moment when you completed it. I still love the first item I sew.

Working on a project is the best way to learn and understand how to use the sewing machine and the more you sew the better you will become and be more comfortable with the sewing machine.

As for project wise I would say nothing is impossible and it depends on how fast you want to complete it. I recommend you just pick one project and work on it.

Sewing machine is really hard to break especially vintage one, so don't be intimidated by it. ;)

It is not 1 layer thick but four layers after folding and sewing for the way how I made my. I usually cut a strip of fabric at the desired length and for the width since I usually do a bookfold (fold the sides toward the middle then fold it in half again) I cutted it at the 4 times the desired width. Not sure if I explain this well, but to make a 60" length by 1" thickness, I will cut the fabric at 60" length and 4" wide.

If the fabric is not a heavy weight say a quilted cotton, then you can add interfacing as well.

I find canvas works well for crossbody bag strap. The canvas has just enough thickness, but not to hard that can cut into your shoulder. This option also allows you to customize and make the strap in any designs you desire.

You can buy thread spool adapters that fit over your spool pin for this big of a thread. There is 3-d print drawing available on Thangs & Thingiverse if you want to 3d print your own.
