    Well, I had a nice long reply for you with information about Singer factories, but the system ate it or it went to alphabet heaven.

    Do you have a manual? If not, any manual for a 191 should be the same, as the "J" just indicates it was made in the Canadian factory.

    What do you need to know? Do you sew at all? Do you have any experience with older sewing machines? Let us know and we'll try to help.

    According to https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/191
    There appears to be several other 191s as I have found references to the following with their country of manufacture.
    191B France
    191J Canada
    191K Scotland
    191M Italy
    191R Mexico
    191U Japan

    As bkay asked and said
    What do you need to know? Do you sew at all? Do you have any experience with older sewing machines? Let us know and we'll try to help.
    There is a manual at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/36...1k.html#manual It is a picture only instruction manual. I'm guessing since it was made in so many countries they made the manual so no matter what language the same one could be used.

    It takes class 15 bobbins and a 1 o'clock bobbin case and 130/705, aka 15x1, household sewing machine needles.

    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

    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.

    bkay. My post is not spam !

    I happen to know that there was a user that posted some spam. The user has been banned and the post deleted. I should have quoted it and then deleted the body of the post when I reported it. That way people will know that there was another post when you say "Do not follow any links on the above post. It is spam." If you quote and leave the body of the post, it will show all the links so you need to delete the body of the post, so there are no links still on the thread when the original spammer's post gets deleted.

    I gave this machine to a friend many years ago. I no longer have the manual.
