Posted - Aug 21 2006 : 5:48:26 PM A White 365 sewing table! Everything is metal and it weighs a ton! I did a search on ebay and found one for $400 and another that was just the machine for like $265 or something!!! ![](icons/icon_smile_shock.gif)
Now...the questions. Anyone own one of these or know how to thread it? It's different than my Brother. I'll post a picture as soon as I find my darn digital camera.

Posted - Aug 25 2006 : 6:05:58 PM Just watched the same sewing machine I just bought for $10 go on ebay for $385 + shipping!!! ![](icons/icon_smile_shock.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_shock.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_shock.gif)
I don't know ladies....I like the sewing machine but it's tempting to put it up on ebay!
I figured out the tension issue. It was a "PEBSMAC" problem. "Problem existed between sewing machine and chair" In other words...It was me! Works like a charm now.
Well, I'm off to sew through 7 pairs of jeans...cuz I can!!! ![](icons/icon_smile_tongue.gif)

Posted - Aug 25 2006 : 1:25:57 PM you can take it in to get serviced they could fix anything wrong if there is. It just sounds like you need to play with the tension more. I would tighten the top more and leave the bottom alone only mess with one tension at a time. Other wise you are not sure which is getting better or worse.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe my web store www.sunshines.etsy.com my blog http://sunshinescreations.blogspot.com/ my google page http://sunshine.harbaugh.googlepages.com/home |

Posted - Aug 25 2006 : 1:12:36 PM Got the manual and thank goodness I did. I never would have guessed how to thred this thing the way it does. Very cool though. It's a lot more versatile than I thought it was.
I'm having a little trouble with getting the tension just right though. If the top thread pulls through the bottom that means that the bottom tension is too low and/or the top is too tight right? I've tried tightening the bottom and and loosening the top a tad and the top thread still pulls through the bottom. Not sure what I'm going wrong here. I've not had a problem on my current machine. Could it be something wrong with the machine?
I'm sure I'll figure it out. It definately has some power to it. Built like a tank!!!

Posted - Aug 24 2006 : 10:21:50 PM That looks exactly like the machine my grandma had in her kitchen when I was a kid. How neat! She sewed through layers of denim all the time and loved that machine. I think my mom (who dosn't sew) has it now. You are going to love it. Seeing it really brings back memories of watching my grandma sew!!

Posted - Aug 23 2006 : 1:33:52 PM I found it at a thrift shop near me. No manual but I did order one on line.
I may have to go back to the thrift store and see if I can locate a digital camera...I can't find mine. I know it's around here "somewhere". I'll post when I find it.

Posted - Aug 22 2006 : 04:14:48 AM THAT sure is a great find,where did you find it? Is there a sewing center near you that could show you how to thread it, or contact the WHITE company and ask for their instruction booklet that comes with the machine. NANCY JO |
