Somehow I lost the fastener making the many feet useless! I went to Sears looking for help, but they don't keep vintage stock. Kitty

I can do a research when I get off this evening for a nice inexpensive place to buy parts.

I was given a Kenmore model 158-15160 recently and am so interested in finding out all I can about it and where to buy cams and accessories. Your help would be wonderful!!

It would be wonderful to find an address or two and then post it here, plus under a different heading where other Kenmore owners can easily find it too! Maybe under Offline Events, Announcements, Discussions??? Doesn't quite look like there is a listing for general machine information. Maybe "Machine Help and Upkeep." That would be a helpful section! ...............there goes my obsession with sorting things again! LOL Kitty

I have this same machine, bought in 1972 and it is a workhorse. You will love the buttonhole maker, it makes perfect buttonholes everytime. I have an Ellimisso, Bernina, Jamone Jem, Featherweight and this is the machine I always make my buttonholes on. Have fun, Anne
