Sister Child's Sewing Machine So Many Question
Hello,
I have another great goodwill find. It is the sweet little machine in the pictures. It is a Sister child's sewing machine. I am curious to find a users guide or manual. It makes noise, the light comes on but you have to turn the handle to make the needle go up and down. Is that how it should be? Any information would be appreciated.

Amy,
It looks like it may have originally came with a foot controller that would have been wired through the empty hole next to the power cord. I'm curious as to what the knob in front of the pillar does. When you said "It makes noise," I initially thought that maybe it was broken gears or belt. I found this site http://zipsanddarts.blogspot.com/201...oy-sewing.html that shows two of them threaded and says that it takes 24x1 needles.
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

I'm very late to this discussion but I had a Sister Sewing Machine as a child! Yes, it is an electric and I see that yours has lost its foot pedal.
The Sister is a chain stitch machine that doesn't require a bobbin.
The knob in the front is the speed setting.
So cool to see this little machine again, it was a great part of my childhood.
