I have a similar one. It does the chain stitch so it does not have a bobbin. I still have mine but it's blue. Mine did not have the wooden top on it. The home in the center front is for a special shaped clamp that holds the machine to the table so you can turn the crank wheel with one hand and hold the fabric with the other.. I have had mine since 3rd grade in 1963.

Wonderful find, love the whole package! I don't see the lids very often for these toy machines. Love the quilt top too!

That is very cute. A friend has collected quite a few toy machines & has them displayed in her quilt shop. Maybe i should hunt for these. They would take up less room & be much lighter to carry. :D

What a nice find! The top is cute!

I agree wit ctrysass2012 that the toy machines look nice when displayed and definitely take up less room :)

Mine is pink and also works. I collect toy and tiny machines. I have them on display in my sewing room. I love these little gems.

Needles and manual for KayanEE Sew Master
 

Does anyone know what needles are used for this little child's machine? Also, does anyone have a manual you would photograph and share with me? I have attached a picture, let me know if you cannot see it. Thank you, Betty

As for the needle see https://www.quiltingboard.com/7327696-post8.html and https://www.quiltingboard.com/vintag...e-t302020.html It looks like yours would take the 12x1, which are no longer available. I think I'd try a 15x1 first, as suggested above (with flat on right). There are supposed to be substitute needles for 12x1, but I have read various reports about them being different depending on manufacturer and since they are round shank can be rather fiddly to install.

As for threading https://media.hibid.com/img.axd?id=4...OXVjbDccBAPsPj You can't see it, but there is a guide on the nose that it needs to go through before threading the needle from left to right. I looked at it, again, and I'm pretty sure that the thread needs to go under the disc with the spring on it.
