Anniversary Singer 160 Owners - Dilemma
1 Attachment(s)
Okay, need your help - anyone who has the new Singer 160. I have finished a quilt on her "Annie" and went to clean out the bobbin area and when I removed the plate I noticed that in the manual (always follow the directions the first time) on page 50, pictures 3 and 4 showed a bracket holding in the bobbin case. (see attached picture - the arrow under 3 shows the part). My machine does not have that bracket. Would you check your machine and see if your machine has this bracket..please. I called the Singer help line and the lady told me not to worry about it if my machine was working okay. It is....but I need to know if this is a part they just decided not to put on the new machine and the manual picture is inaccurate or if I need to get this part. Thank you for checking!!!

I checked mine and I do not have that bracket on mine either. My manual show that bracket to. Hmmm?
|
Yeah, sometimes they just change stuff at the factory and don't bother changing the manual to reflect the change. Sounds like that's what they did in this case. JMHO
|
I'LL check mine tomorrow...it's in the case tonight!! Will post what I find!

I haven't looked at my book, but that picture looks like feed dogs to me.

virtualbernie, I think you are right, it is the feed dog. I don't have the 160 anniversary one but I have the Featherweight 75 (the white one before the black one) and it looks exactly like my machine looks with the bobbin case out. I think it just shows that you put the bobbin case under this when you put it back in.

Will check mine for you when I get home tonight.
Just as an aside, I think the manual for this machine is one of the WORST I've ever seen. It took me a half-hour just to figure out how to thread the machine following their ridiculous diagram, and I've been sewing for 45 years! |
It is the other arrow right under the 3 - in the picture, it has the screw in it. Thanks for the input.

Just checked. No bracket.
