But wait !! My husband says go to the Google line and type in the name of the machine and the number - you will find any number of places to buy the manual.

Great buy

My guild has a group of young women who want to learn how to quilt and they have been asking for more machines so they can have something to work with. This is a good idea. I'll check my Goodwill for machines.

It looks almost just like your first one - does it have a little door on the top that opens and little cams fit in it? I do have the book on mine if that helps you at all. My intent for these was to spruce them up and donate them to a group that teaches young girls how to quilt. Right now I am debating with myself if it is worthwhile to get her fixed (unless I can do it myself). Both of these machines weigh in around 40 pounds each! Since the URR 260 is working, I will buy the manual online. It's a shame there is no resource online to help you date these machines or get the name of the original manufacturer. Ward only labeled their machines - they never manufactured them. |

Thanks, |
OHMIGOSH!!! I just bought a montgomery sewing machine at a yards sale today for $2.00 that almost looks like the first pic. Mine doesn't have the cord.

Luck-eeeeee!

Did you get the manual for the 260?

I was so excited with the first one which came with several attachments and seemed to be in good condition. When I got home and tried her out, the bobbin chamber does not turn so I will try and have her fixed if not too expensive. The other machine works perfectly, just need to find a manual so I can keep her oiled and happy.

Could you possibly copy your manual and send it to me? photo's or pdf/scans would be great! I have the same machine j1939 works great, just need info on the settings for different sewing. ty Audreylw

I have a Signature sewing machine my MIL gave me 37 years ago. The wiring is brittle now, so I'm scared to use it, but I loved it! I'd still be using it if it weren't for that brittle wiring! I'm afraid of it starting a fire. Fabulous machine!! Congratulations on a grand purchase!!
