I found helpful info here - nice to have expert help to refer to.... http://www.tfsr.org/publications/tec...achine_manual/ then look at tension mechanism. There are only a few ways those can go... You may have info in your user's manual... http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...ine-manual.pdf but it is only the owners manual...
    Yes, Miriam you are a "super member". I am off to the sewing room/machine to check this out. I looked at the manual and the adjustment manual but no info on what I was looking for!! Thank you very much for this info.

    Miriam is my hero! I love that she digs right into her machines with no fear...and I love that she encourages others to do so too!

    Mine came from Billy. I was thrilled to get it...he had it in stock. I've done business with him before and he's always fast and trustworthy!! 5 stars in my book!!

    Monica that little wall hanging above the 319w on my Murphy Bed is one of the Patchability patterns. I used my 1961 Rocketeer 503A and metallic thread to create a (sort of) tension assembly. I did all the decorative stitches with the 503a! It was a fun little project! But, the 'Singer" name was done on my Pfaff embroidery (very modern) machine!

    First the fabric bowls and now this work of art!
