judogirl5 0 #1 January 26, 2012 Just got my first rigging sewing machine. Yay!! and beer, I know. My question is--I am now looking for a manual for it so I can remember how to use it and keep it happy. Thought I might be able to find it at parachutemanuals.com but alas that is not the case. Any help would be great. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. the best advice I ever got to keeping a sewing machine happy is to have lots of spare needles and to never be lazy with oiling it ! enjoy the 20U Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sprtdth 0 #4 January 26, 2012 First machine, sweet! Like has been said, plenty of high quality needles, and stainless oil. If you need more Singer manuals try http://www.singermachines.co.uk/indstbooks.htm Oh! Be careful, those machines will breed, next you'll need a walking foot, then a double needle, then.......CRW Skies Frank CRW Diva #58 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started with a Singer 31-15, now I have a Sailrite LSZ-1 (walking foot, zigzag) as well. Good thing I can't find any cheap bartackers or 7-class machines!

monkycndo 0 #7 January 26, 2012 Who said anything about machine(s)? I don't know what you are talking about.The last deal I found I passed onto someone else. I have no need for a 7-33....., yet.And Ski, what bar tacker are you looking for? I found a couple sweet deals recently. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I can't justify a bunch of money for a machine, but if I come across one that needs some TLC for cheap, I'd consider it."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
