http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Brot...-/201059188439 Thank you so much! Now need to find the manual or how to thread it. I think I'm really close but the top thread underneath isn't tight..... |

My hubby wants to call it Belle Aire....says it's the same color as his uncle's 57 Chevy :) Muv has a video for a Singer 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2tiiZ51J7g The clones should thread the needle right to left - some of the Singer 15s thread left to right but they are the same beast and the same manual. It is unlikely that you will find a specific manual for a clone. |

The machine for that manual has the tension in the front, so it might not work.

Mark,
You are correct. Not sure why I didn't catch that. Cathy

Miriam,
Most class 15 (clones) machines thread from left to right. The Singer 19-88 thru -91 right to left. Cathy

What did I do get it the other way around??? sigh - getting old............ it was exactly what I meant. I'm thinking the old 15-30s go the other way.

Miriam,
Yup, the 15-30 threads left to right. Seems we giggled over this same thing in the past. GGG Cathy
