THANK YOU MUV - I found a manual at last for my 411G!!! YIPPIE!
|
I finally looked at the manual for the 411g - now to set it up to do chain stitching!!!!!! I also have a 401g on a treadle. That manual is made with no words. Take a look even if you don't have one - very interesting find. I would assume it is only pictures so the 411G could be put on a treadle & sent to countries where they don't read English or German.

I do believe this is the best way to clean up the old machines - no point in giving them any harsh treatment with hammers or torches.

Fav & Muv have made fantastic videos about old sewing machines. You most likely will so not have a sewing machine exactly like the machines in the videos, however, the cleaning principles will apply to just about any vintage sewing machine without a lot of dis-assembly. Be sure to pour yourself a nice cup of tea to enjoy while you watch these videos.

I recently figured that out! Go to the top of the page while you are in the thread you want. Under the page number and title there is a line of text on the right side. Click on "thread tools" to make the drop down pop. Click on "subscribe to this thread". Then there is another drop down where you can choose between thread subscriptions and bookmarks.

Thanks for the links. I'm sure I will need it some time down the road. Now that I have been able to finally bookmark this for later.
