Singer 221 FW
Okay,I got my screws and washers for the bed extension. I presume one washer goes in the front and the other after the screw is in the first hole, but before the extension hole. They screw in a short distance fairly easily, but to screw them in flush is tough. Is this how they are suppose to go in? Or should I use something on the screws that makes them install easier? Is there a secret here? Or do you just torque them in? I just don't want to strip the threads or something stupid. TIA.

was it missing screws when you got it? someone may have tried putting in screws that weren't quite the right pitch. Now they may be cross threaded. Finding Singer sized taps can be next 2 impossible. You may have to determine what size thrrads are in there now and find screws to fit.
