My dad tried to start a sewing thingy a few years back and he bought this machine and he sewed like he knew what he was doing, Well when I tried it I could not make it sew. 10 or so years later i dug it out of my shed, well it froze all up, took it apart cleaned it and got it running but could not make it sew.... ten hours later much research online who would have known, the thread goes in right to left not left to right.

Ohh Rosa's pretty, Great save!!

Rosa is just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the great pic and story that goes with it :D:D
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

Thank you she still needs a really good cleaning to make shine. Just glad I have it working again. And know how to thread it.

Rosa is quite the beautiful lady!! :wink: Sure glad you figured out the problem!! Happy sewing!!! :thumbup:

Hahahahaha - I had that problem with my featherweight when I first brought it home! ;) So glad you solved the problem :) It's a beautiful sewing machine

Nice machine, and lucky you that it does sew!! Have fun with it!!

nice machine! Glad you figured out how to thread it!

Cute story! Yes, threading the machine correctly makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing and enjoy that pretty machine!

I am glad that you got her out! She is a pretty one!

Beautiful sewing machine. Good Luck sewing with her :-)

A Rose is a Rose unless you have a Real ROSA Lucky you!!

A beauty

She sure is pretty.

Nice!

she looks like a nice one! happy sewing

I have one just like Rosa. It use to be my Mother's and i have a treadle that was my Grandmother's. They both work too.

I can certainly associate this with you. When I received my featherweight I was sooooo excited. Sat down to sew and my heart sank! Could not get that beautiful "Little Princess" to behave. Finally, pulled the manual and started reading. Put that thread in the correct way and who would have thought something so simple could be such a problem. Love, love, love, my Princess. She sews so beautifully and goes from 2 layers to 6 layers without a wink. Do hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

I had the same problem with my 201. The manual said to thread it one way and online I read to thread it the other. The manual was wrong!!!!

Oh my Rosa is beautiful. Have fun with her.

Beautiful! I love old Singers!

How nice.... beautiful..great story too

Rosa is beautiful!! How fun to sew on Dad's machine :D:D:D
