amuckart Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Welcome to the forums. I assume you have a needle for the machine and need to know how to thread it? The machine is very simple to operate. The large handle on top is used to make it stitch and the small silver handle on the side raises and lowers the presser foot. The first thing you have to do is to firmly bolt the machine to a table, or to a piece of wood you can clamp to a table. The operating lever needs to be pulled and pushed quite firmly and this is impossible unless the machine is held down. I have manuals for the machine, and I have sent you a message to email me so I can send them to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amuckart Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Hi Franck, You are welcome. I have emailed you the manual. Needles for this machine have not been made for a long time and are very difficult to find. I'm afraid I don't know where to get any right now. They are more common in Europe though, so ebay or old shoe repair shops may have some. They cost a lot though - 8 Euro or more per needle is not uncommon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
