gaRYW5 Report post Posted December 10, 2012 I'm looking for a user manual for a 31-17 Singer. Need to know how to set the depth of the needle shaft I guess that is what it's called. Had to pull the shaft out and replace it and it wasn't in the right position to begin with. Appreciate any help. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
