So, Like how do I thread the needle? :rolleyes: I've had this huge plan to start making things for my babies BUT guess what??????? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEW!!!!!! :D So I now have 2 sewing machines. The one I plan to use is one my SIL gave me. Its a Sears Kenmore, old, and in its omn table. She didn't have the manual. So.....how do I thread the needle?????:rolleyes: I know - I'm a dumb ars!!!!!!! (I've looked online for the manual but nothing comes up?) But seriously :p Do they all thread the same?????? Are you rolling your eyes at me???? :D :D :D |
Well they definitely don't all thread the same. Some of the older models are a pita to thread! lol Sorry.... I'm no help. |
hahahaha! you sound like me!! plus, what about the bobbin?? do they still have those?!! LOL!!!!!!!! |

I'd take it to Sears and let them show you how to thread it, and wind the bobbin. They are really good about it. |
I'd love to help you but all I can manage is a button. I took sewing in the 8th grade but my project was unrecognizable. I got a D and it was stongly suggested I not take 2nd semester. :( :D |

This Thread has made my day!!!!! I too am starting to sew for my fur baby but at least iv made it past threadding the needle. I now feel hopeful!!! :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears I have learned I cant sew a straiget line. Iv been trying that for 2 months... I hope you get help. |
I use an old kenmore and also have my Mom's old Kenmore. What is the model number of yours? If it is the same as one of mine, I could scan the directions and email them to you. I have manual for both machines and they are each a little different. |

Brenda~ you're too funny! Well, at least you WANT to sew, LOL! And BTW, the bobbin is what locks the threads together sort of on the bottom of the item you're sewing on. Well that doesn't make that much sense, but once you see how the machine works, it will, haha. |

Brenda, I just started to use my machine. Its a new, fancy pants thing my Mom bought me for my Birthday LAST December. It does way too much. I was like "uh i just want to sew a straight stitch!" LOL Im just starting on the straight stitch thing, and constantly going back to the manual! LOL Hopefully I will learn to use all the functions sooner than later. |

Darn...neither of my machines are that one. I have done a search and sure can't find much on that model, but I did find this, where you can buy manuals that you download for $3 or the free threading guide, which is here: http://gotoes.org/sales/FreeThreadDiagramKenmore158.htm It also tells on that page where to go if you want to buy the downloadable manual for $3. I hope this helps! Good luck! |
:lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :mademyday Thanks for the laugh!!! Very funny!! |

:rofl28ib: :rofl28ib: :rofl28ib: My first thought was - you don't thread it, you get someone else to do it. :D I have always HATED sewing. My mom used to sew most of our clothes but I certainly did not inherit the sewing gene. Hope you figure it out! Good for you for trying.:thumbup: |
So my DH was reading over my shoulder and just seen how to thread a needle.. He starts laughing and says dah you put the string through the needle, even I know that one.:p He thought he knew something. LOL :D :D :D |
pm me a pic of it and I will see if I can help ya out :) |
