I have an industrial singer sewing machine that my husband bought me when a local furniture factory went out of business. I don't know how to thread it, let alone how to bring the bobbin thread up. If anyone on here knows how to thread it or where I can get information on it, please let me know. I have been looking at this thing for awhile and think it is time to do something with it. I am wanting to sell it, I am not planning on doing any sewing on leather or upholstry. It is a Singer 211 G 151, green, in a large green table.

Found this link to a service manual you can print out for it:
http://parts.singerco.com/IPsvcManua...57_651_658.pdf
Didn't see a threading diagram in it, though.

Also found this old eBay listing for the head so you can get an idea of pricing:

Also found this place that sells industrial sewing machines. You might want to call or email to ask about threading:

visit the singer web site- there all you have to do is enter the serial/model number and you can get a manual for it= often free down loads- some of them you have to buy (about $15--well worth having the manual for any machine)

Hi There,

How nice your husband was thinking of you. If you still have the machine, and are interested in selling, please contact me. I have some questions I'd like to ask.

Thanks,
Kyla
