Downloadable Manual For Pearson No.6

[DavidColquhoun]

Hi, sorry to be late to the party. I work at a museum as a leather craft demonstrator and i have a pearson no6 to clean up and use. Is this manual still available somewhere? If it helps, it will be used for educational use.

It's posted in the thread at the top from the OP.

Hi guys. I just paid off my lovely old Pearson #6 and now I finally have her at home! It took me 12 months to pay the guy for it but it's worth it! I'm dead keen to get familiar with it. The links in the posts above, to the manual I mean, don't work. Is it still possible to get a hold of the pdf?

Just tried it and it works fine. Try a different search engine or your settings because it came up for me ok.

Absolutely thrilled! Waiting for the shops to open so I can get ink for my printer and print it all out. Thank you so much for this. My machine is a little stiff and the shuttle isn't releasing thread like it should but now I've got reference material I can do my best to work it out. I was told I'd "never find a manual for it" (the Pearson) and thanks to the kind people in this thread - it took me less than 24 hours. Really appreciating like minded community at this point, thank you again. STOKED!

For reference to others what did you change or do so you could download it in case someone in the future has the same problem as you did?

@Tomo Thank you! I've managed to sorce some thread now, some Z415/T400/7 (Old Tkt size / Tex size / Metric size) because I've got #250 331 LR needles I mentioned. I'm thinking I may try to track down some lighter needles and thread at some point though, the current ones are unbelievably heavy! Anyway, yes so I understand, but I imagine the linen thread would be less consistant, and of course less resiliant, even though I do like the idea of using the traditional thing and a natural product.

Thanks again.

Get hold of Gary at auckland sewing he is great help with needles and thread
