SHE IS JUST LIKE THE ONE I HAVE A GOOD MACHINE HAVE FUN
ELSIE |
I need some help please. I decided to try treadling. My machine will sew a few stitches and than the needle becomes unthreaded. The needle is new. I have taken the needle out to make sure that the flat side is on the right, just like the manual says. I have rethread it and made sure that I threaded it right to left. Both the top and the bottom thread seems to move smoothly. The machine has plently of oil. I just had it service by a vintage repair man. Does anyone have any idea of the the problem could be? Kathie

Sorry about that. I am glad that you got it out. These cats are into everything. I did keep the machine in the box, but hair does fly. Kathie

It looks like the Kenmore power cord is there. It may have tape on it, in which case you'd want to have it checked before plugging it in. My Singer 128 from 1952 has the cord wired into the motor - not a plug in like the 1956 301.
