Sewing Machine Love: Your Sewing Machine Manual

Where is your sewing machine manual?   Why do you even need it?

Your sewing machine manual is the go-to reference for the maintenance and use of your machine.  Having trouble balancing your thread tension?  Go to your sewing machine manual.  Can’t remember which bobbin to buy?  Go to your manual.  Should you oil your machine?  Go to your manual.

So…where is your sewing machine manual?  Can’t find yours?  Inherited mom’s old machine and no manual?  Try here.  You can also try eBay.  If you do have yours, is it close?  I keep my manuals right here, within arm’s reach:

Every sewing machine manual is slightly different.  Some are only a few pages long, others are 1-inch thick spiral notebooks.  Some have 4 different languages within them.  Your manual isn’t going to be much help if you don’t know what type of information is inside.  Here’s a little create-your-own table of contents for the information I use the most in my manuals.
