Tip: Remembering which threading direction on old Singers
There was some discussion on another thread about which models thread left to right and vice versa.....I seem to always have to go back to the manual because I can't ever remember which machine is which! Many of you are probably already aware of this but I wasn't....until reading this in the Singer Student manual! Eureka, what a great way to know! Hope this helps some of you.

Thanks for pointing that out. I often have trouble remembering which machine threads which direction and always try to pay attention when I take out a needle for replacement which way it was facing. That diagram would work for the black Singers, but others (like the Slant-O-Matics, I believe) thread front to back...but you can probably see the needlebar slot on them, too.

Thank you so much for this. It does help...greatly! I printed it out and will be adding notes for "other" machines that are different and not included in the list. I love that it tells us exactly which models too. Makes it very easy. I think I will laminate it and have it hanging where I can see it instead of putting it into my helpful hints binder..hehe
