I picked up a brand new still in box "inside was immaculate" for $10. It kinda sewed until i had to change cotton. I oiled it & put it to test but won't see now? Tension is 5, bobbin tension is medium tight. I run a brand new brother with enough knowledge to have min problems.

Yes, a bit far removed from sewing but I would love to help you thread your new machine.<br />The tension knob shouldn't normally catch the thread, but it often builds up dust and dirt from thread passing through. Singer say to clean between the tension discs with a soft cloth.<br />The other manual is still at http://bypatrice.com/sewing/deluxe_manual/ (just checked).<br />I'll look you up and email you so you can contact me.<br />MikeMike Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232772915733882104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885069163623120213.post-13065945166824407982013-02-09T11:42:28.064+11:002013-02-09T11:42:28.064+11:00hi Mike.

I tried threading how I normally would (mum had a Necchi that seemed a bit similar, from memory),but it just seems to be jamming in that tension knob thing, before I can do anything. (I'm a VERY infrequent sewer, though my mum was a Flinders Lane ragtrader, but she's lost her skills now). I'm also an impatient threader. I'll keep trying .. but wondered if you had the pdf you mentioned - and if all else fails - is it what you teach? - I probably just need one lesson .. if that's what you do. thanks!

By the way, it's the same one you have pics of in your December 9th Post. If mine fails me I know who I can donate it to. Hopefully I can get it going. IF you're interested in my machines I recently purchased here's the ebay link. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121035922485?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648<br />hope you can still view it. Thanks again for all your help ... hope I can return the favour one day.<br />Cheers,<br />JennyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303989978662993827noreply@blogger.com
