Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Back finally.. What a nite.. It seems the consensus is my newest machine is a 101, eh? There is a book with it. I haven't compared it yet. Been a crazy night! I don't know if the book is the same as the machine..will look at it tomorrow. Thanks for all the input. It is really appreciated!

LOL I love it! :D

Well the machine is really to new for me but I am going to call about it!! Its funny now that I have gotten into the 1870's and 1880's machines the newer 1900+ machines just do not fancy me as much. :roll:
But that is a gorgeous cabinet!!!

Is the thread routed the right way? Is the spring keeping the tension on the thread when the take up lever is doing its thing?

I had some bobbin tread jam, but I got it all. So is my problem with the bobbin tension and not the top tread tension?

You need to adjust the lower tension if the thread is sitting on top of the material. There will be a small screw that you will need to adjust. but only tighten it a 1/4 turn each time you do it.
