Kenmore deluxe rotary Machine
I just found this thread after purchasing a sewing cabinet with a Kenmore de lux rotary model 117.551. The exact same as yours Caroline S. It's in fully functioning order with all the original stuff (manual eat) and the cabinet is in pristine condition. I was just wondering if you could tell me how I can learn to sew with it or where I can buy replacement parts like the needles???! Thanks so much!
I am trying desparetly to find a manual for this same machine, is there anywhere you could send me? I am trying to fig out if I have the bobbin done right and same with threading the machine. If there is anything you can do I would very much appreciate it.

Your machine was made by White for Sears. All the White bobbin cases thread the same. You can search here for something like "White Bobbin Case". I know there are directions here.
I don't know if White made the same machines badged as White or not. They may have been made only for Sears.
You can try searching ISMACS. They have manuals for some machines available.

I didn't download again, but I think you can find a manual for your machine at https://www.singer.com/sites/default...-kenmore-x.pdf

well I have 2 maybe 3 of these machines to fix and re-home. One is in a cabinet and I'll check it but I'm sure it could be set up for a knee operation. I think one of them has a broken base and I'm saving for parts if you need anything. Think have two of the lovely rounded ones also
