I got my 1905 Singer treadle back and was really excited. I decided I was going to use it today for the first time. No such luck because I can't get it threaded right. Does anyone out there have a diagram they would be willing to share on threading this machine.

This may not help...but on my FW you thread the needle from the inside out not front to back. Be sure your needle has the flat side facing out (to the left).

It might help if you tell us what model machine you have. Most of the manuals are available (free) on the Singer site, and they include threading instructions.

IT IS A MODEL 15.

A manual for a regular Model 15 can be downloaded for free from the Singer site. I have a model 15-91. If that's what you have they are a little harder to find. I have one I can email you if that's your model.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS. I HAVE SOME INFO. ON THIS PARTICULAR SINGER BUT I CAN'T SEE HOW IT IS ACTUALLY THREADED - IT'S A VERY, VERY DARK PIC. WOULD APPRECIATE TRYING YOUR COPY. THANKS SO MUCH.
