Tip: Remembering which threading direction on old Singers
1 Attachment(s)
There was some discussion on another thread about which models thread left to right and vice versa.....I seem to always have to go back to the manual because I can't ever remember which machine is which! Many of you are probably already aware of this but I wasn't....until reading this in the Singer Student manual! Eureka, what a great way to know! Hope this helps some of you.

Hmmmm, I guess I need to get me one of those "student manuals".

Thanks for pointing that out. I often have trouble remembering which machine threads which direction and always try to pay attention when I take out a needle for replacement which way it was facing. That diagram would work for the black Singers, but others (like the Slant-O-Matics, I believe) thread front to back...but you can probably see the needlebar slot on them, too.

I think this might be it: http://blog.sew-classic.com/2009/09/...-free-pdf.aspx |
Napa John,
Thanks for the link. cogito, The needles on the 400s and 500s fit flat to the back and thread front to rear. Those I know by heart, I got three of them. Joe |
Good to know!!!!!!

:thumbup:Thank you so much for this. It does help...greatly! I printed it out and will be adding notes for "other" machines that are different and not included in the list. I love that it tells us exactly which models too. Makes it very easy. I think I will laminate it and have it hanging where I can see it instead of putting it into my helpful hints binder..hehe

Some of the newer Singer's have arrows on the throat plate...
