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.

These have gotten lost in the shuffle of the new QB format so I am posting them right here.
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.
