Thank you both for your replies. I actually hadn’t threaded the machine, I was just using the photo for reference. I do believe I may have been doing something wrong— I was hooking the thread behind the pin on the top what I call the tensioner (the one without the wire lever). I didn’t do that and the thread worked better. However, my problems aren’t completely gone. please find attached how I threaded it and the resulting work, If it is tension related- are those the two circular things that the thread runs about? Are they adjusted by turning the screw in the center? Are there any resources I can find so I quit bugging you? I did find some manuals online, but they didn’t really cover troubleshooting. Again, I appreciate your help so so so so much. Liz

This is what the work looks like Also, note how I have the spool set, it doesn’t seem right. In the manual, there is an attachment I may be missing. What is it called and where can I get something to replace it?

Hi, I am hoping to find some help. I recently purchased a singer 111w155. It worked when I bought it, however, once I brought it home, I haven’t gotten it to function. The top thread just breaks at the needle, last time it broke the tip of the needle at the eye as well. Thread seems to get hung up in tensioner like in 1st photo I have it set at “5” for stitch length. It is 135 thread. I will attach another pic of resulting leather in next post. Thank you so so much.
