I got this from freecycle a couple of weeks ago. I was told it worked- just needs a good oiling. Well I can't find any info on it. And I could never figure out how to wind a bobbin on it. It is model 605..
I just love the machine though.. the cabinet is uky.. but I could paint it..
Blessings, Debra

Debra, there is a site online where you can order user manuals for old machines. I think I remember seeing the Kenmore 605 model #. If I can find the site I will send you the addy.
Love your blog! Thanks for sharing.

thank you so much. I think we figured out what kind it is.. and found out that there are cams that you can get for decorative stitches..

Is there a sewing machine repair shop in your area. I would take it in for a "tune-up" before doing too much with it. In my experience, that only costs about $30 and is well worth it. OTH, I bought a used Bernina at a yardsale and it apeared to be in perfect, well cared for condition and I did nothing but clean and oil it when I brought it home 2 years ago...it's been running great for me ever since.
What we write today slipped into our souls some other day when we were alone and doing nothing.

when money is better I plan on taking in all of my machines- I have the vintage machine, a older necchi that the bobbin winder is broken- and it could use a good tune up and 2 sergers- a babylock and a white. My daughter will get one of the sergers. I have a Bernina on my vision board when I get it then Eimilee will get the Necchi which is a good workhorse machine.

Debra,
I have a box of cams for a Kenmore machine...wouldn't it be wonderful if they happen to fit your machine. When I come across wherever I stashed them, we can find out. My kids were here yesterday and my son said he's going to start me a website...RonnaHasIt.com. They say I have way too much 'stuff' and they're right. Time for a huge yard/eBay/farmgirl sale this late spring or early summer.

Ronna, that would be awesome if they fit my machine!
I hope you had a wonderful time with your family this weekend.
