Justtrish, Start using that FW now! Forget about trying to learn the feet at this point in time and just start using your machines. Most likely the foot that is on the machine is the foot that you need to use for piecing. Have Fun! |

OH you have a clone!!! You want to get the needle in the right direction - ask Glen how I know..... http://blog.sew-classic.com/2008/12/...-15-clone.aspx The
re is even a manual on there! More clones: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t164361.html I knew it was a clone, and such a pretty little miss, lol. It just took me a while to come out of my funk and take a real look at her. She is all nice and clean and oiled up. And now I know how to put the needle in and thread her up. I might actually get that quilt under a machine and repaired yet, lol. It does have the little Precision Badge on it, too. Now, I need to go work on my little black one, and see if I can get it running. I might even sneak in some sewing. Someone should have warned me about these machines. |

I also keep all the attachments, bobbins, etc that go with each machine in a container right with each machine. I also like to have a pair of small scissors/snips, a small ruler guide and anything else I think I might need (manual, oil). And I made little fabric bowls for each machine, they are great to catch all the little snips of thread and things because I don't have a trash container at each machine. The little bowls are cute made of sewing related fabrics or any other you like.

Miriam,
She does explain it well. However, when reading the info on the attachment numbers on the uksinger site... some are described as "standard foot" :( What is a standard foot??? |
Threading for White FR machines

Okay, I didn't think it was really that intuitive and the manual wasn't that easy for me to understand, but I figured it out. I used some yarn so the points would be more visible (It didn't fit, but I hope you get the idea).
1. Bring the thread from the spool to the guide at the top. There were several types. The small disks may be flat or upright, or it may just be a guide without the disks. 2. Bring the thread down to the slot at the bottom of the tension mechanism. It may look solid, but there is a cut or slot to bring the thread up into. Pull this up. 3. It should now hook through the small hook end of the spring that is visible. It is like a small wire. 4. Now, pull the thread up to the arm. You don't "thread" it, you slide the thread into it through the slot. 5. Take your thread down to your needle. On one of my machines, it has a little dent at the bottom to help guide the thread. Another has nothing. From here, it's just like any other, pull thread through the guide on the needle. Needle threads left to right. Hope this helps! [ATTACH=CONFIG]283396[/ATTACH] |
