Bring the thread back down and thread through the remaining 2-3 hooks on the left of the machine and just about the needle. Hope it works.

What a buy!<BR/><BR/>I can't help with the answer to your question but I do know there is a yahoo group called Treadle On that knows a lot about the older sewing machines. You might get some help there. If not, let me know and one of my knitty friends knows a lot about this type of machine too and might be willing to help!Jackie's Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728521317964661942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075387365881904982.post-74591473365315299512009-03-20T15:31:00.000-04:002009-03-20T15:31:00.000-04:00Gosh...I really don't know.

I wonder if Singer has an 800 phone number you could call and maybe someone could help there?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930049919252042391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075387365881904982.post-57168226108373087352009-03-20T15:26:00.000-04:002009-03-20T15:26:00.000-04:00You might have the bobbin in upside down or it mig...You might have the bobbin in upside down or it might need a tension adjustment. But, you can buy a copy of the original manual for this machine. <BR/><BR/>http://pages.sewing-machine-manuals.com/173/PictPage/1922470339.html<BR/><BR/>I have several old singers and have gotten the manuals from this site..my son did manage to fix all of them. I love the old singers.Holeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724824435789407791noreply@blogger.com
