I just got a 1973 Kenmore sewing machine-model # 158.17032. It sews a great straight stitch, but I can't figure out how to make it zig zag and how to use the cams. I am in desperate need of the instruction manual for this machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I cannot find one on the internet anywhere. Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

or even try to email kenmore to ask if they have a downloadable version.
I got a 1221e Pfaff thru freecycle and couldn't find an english version of the manual on line, so I emailed their homepage and got it. That machine dated back to 1972.

By reading the info on the 158. series this may be it. Does it look like this machine??

There's a downloadable version of the manual for the 1703 here:

I have the 1803 manual which I would be glad to email to you, but it's a large file. The 1703 and 1803 were very similar machines - some of the information in this manual won't pertain to the 1703, but all the info about stitch settings, cams, threading, bobbins, needles, etc. should be the same.

Haven't found any freebies but average cost is about $10.
