Old Kenmore -- New Life
#1
A teacher from my school decided she needed a new sewing machine and threw away her old one! Her friend went “garbage picking” and took it out of the trash and gave to me. I opened the machine….. Oiled it, but it “squealed” like crazy. Called my dealer and he told about a “secret spot” to oil……. And Now……… it runs like a jewel! Granted it is old, but it sews great!!! I cleaned it up and I am going to give it to one of the para’s at school who makes all the costumes for our dances and plays………… I am so excited.

That is exactly like the Kenmore my hubby bought me many years ago! I used it until the feed dogs broke and it would cost more to get it fixed than a new one. Brings backs lots of wonderful sewing memories.

I bought one of those Kenmore machines as a reward for graduating from college 40 years ago. I still have it and it sure came in handy when my Husqvarna went to the shop for repair. I still pull it out to use the monogrammer and now I need to go oil it because it has been a while.

Lots of people on here have and use machines a lot older than this machine and they all say like they love them.
It would be very nice of you to share the secret place to oil qith the ones that have a machine like it. I don't, I have 2 identical machine about 4 & 5 years old, a quilters star, a white jeans machine and an old Singer we bought in 1962 or 1963.
