How to thread the 148.293?
How do you thread the 148.293?
I got the Kenmore that I was asking about, for $5. It looks like a nice machine, is very clean, but has no attachments.
I also got a Featherweight Card Table for $5. It is missing the bars that hold the machine in place, but I think I have replacement parts located. I have been looking for a FW card table for about 15 years!
Another surprise is my new Pfaff 130 in a cabinet, for $44, including tax. Both appear to be in decent shape. The machine will need to be re-wired, at least new cords put on, so my sewing machine education is going to be expanded.
It has a box full of different feet, and a plastic box imprinted "knitting accessories." I don't know if they are for the machine but don't think so...? There is also some kind of counter gadget in that box.
The manuals are with the machine, as well as a paper printed in German saying "1953." It looks like it might be the original shipping paper into the USA, so think it came with the machine originally. Someone wrote on it "Jim's Auto Boat Upholstery."
The cabinet is called The Californian, No. 144, and has a chair that slides into it. I am just tickled! I won't be able to work on this for awhile, but couldn't wait to share with others that love these vintage machines.

Welcome to Quilting Board. The opening poster has not been on for over six years. However, the threading instructions can be found at
https://web.archive.org/web/20150420...ng_diagram.htm
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?
Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
And how to use an ipad to post pictures can be found at Uploading photos
Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.
