how do I thread it?
I got a Kenmore Md 158.1792280 in the dump. It appears to work but I
have no idea how to thread it. The bobbin is in and loaded already. I looked online for a manual with no luck so far. Can you help me and give me an idea how to do it. I have an old American standard machine I have to hand thread. I assume that this Kenmore auto threads but how do I start that process? Thank you DJW |

I don't find a model number like that he http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...g_Diagrams.htm but under the Kenmore 158 column, they do list a 1792: http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diag...ng_diagram.htm Not sure that helps. Nor do I find that exact model number under the Kenmore list he http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...chines_158.htm but perhaps you could send an e-mail to their contact: Sewusa1 [at] yahoo [dot] com and ask?

Is there some way you could snap a digital picture of the machine and
post a link to it?

Generally speaking the thread starts from the spool, goes through a
guide, then through the tension discs, then perhaps through a guide, then through the uptake eye, then through a guide, then through the eye of the needle which is normally left to right. You know when it's threaded right when it sews right. "djw" wrote in message oups.com: I got a Kenmore Md 158.1792280 in the dump. It appears to work but I have no idea how to thread it.

how do I thread it?
Beverly,
Thanks for the help the link below most looks like the machine if not exactly the one hard to tell from the angles and being just line drawings. All I know is that the threading diagram worked. http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diag...ng_diagram.htm I played around with the knobs and buttons but can only figure out about 85 percent of them. Now if I could find a manual online? I got a reply from sears parts department that was strange they said they could not provide a manual because they did not make the machine. I wrote back asking why did it then have the Kenmore name on it. I thought they were one in the same. It seems that no Kenmore model has that long as in that many numbers in it's model numbering. But I got the old magnifying glass out and have triple checked it and that the number 158.1792280 with a serial number of 51054755. Thanks again!

DJW Kenmore is the Sears brand name: they buy them in from all over, and always have. Once they no longer have the machine on their stock list, they stop keeping the bits for it, it seems. You need to examine the machine carefully and see who made it for them: contacting the manufacturer may help with finding a manual. In the other hand the Yahoo Wefixit group may be able to help... -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

I played around with the knobs and buttons but can only figure out about 85 percent of them. Trial and error is a fabulous teacher. ;-) Now if I could find a manual online? Well, you may still find a manual, do try the e-mail contact at http://www.sewusa.com it's worth a shot. Beverly |
