I am providing links to some of the manufacturer websites where you might be able to find a manual for your vintage machine. I am NOT affiliated with any of them.
Some of the links provide manuals for free and others will charge a fee. The websites may not, so you may have to contact customer service directly with your inquiry. I would try contacting someone at the company first, who knows, they may e-mail you a free manual for your old sewing machine.
Just click on the highlighted links to view the website. If you know of any others, please let me know and I will add them here.
Need a manual for your vintage SINGER sewing machine? Take a look at my post here. If you need a manual for a WHITE sewing machine, Singer also provides those at the same website.
SCRIBD – if you are able to find a manual at this website, you will be able to view the first few pages of the manual. You have to become a paying member to have full access with downloading, and printing capabilities.
Do you have a sewing machine manual you would like to share with those who may need one? Send it to me and I will distribute it here free of charge.
Thanks in advance. 🙂
Hello I am looking for the manual for a vintage Percision Tailor Zig Zag Sewing Machine Manual. Can You Help Me Find One Please?
Do you have any for Graybar? I have come across one and don’t see much information on it. I have a long bobbin that I can see how to wind because singer had them but can’t d load because it is not like a singer machine. Ugh, I was excited when my aging aunt gifted it to me but now I am thinking it will probably will just go to display. I love my older singers they sew so well.

Hi Diane,
I am also looking for a manual for the Brother Opus 821a. It seems like a pretty straightforward machine but I can’t figure out what the little knob above the stitch length knob is for. It doesn’t move, even when I heat it with a hair dryer. I doubt that it is just for decorative purposes though.
Hello Diane,
I also just purchased a Brother 821a and need a manual for it. I would be so grateful if you could email it to me. My email address is kandamill@hotmail.com. Thanks so much.
Kendall
No, i never did. It was actually made by a “Universal company “. Evidently in the 50s which I think this was from, Kenmore subbed out building their machines to other companies. It is very specific machine and The specs on it are very different from the other Kenmore machines. For example I ordered some new feet for it and they do not fit in the proper place because the machine is built a little bit differently.

Hi! I am looking for a manual for a Atlas Deluxe sewing machine (pale pink). I saw one on Etsy yesterday as a download but was not there today. I would appreciate any information. Thanks.
Mr Chamber,
This is for every sewing machine maintainer except you.
Start by unplugging the machine, removing the covers and clean all the dust and crud out. WD-40 can be use as a crud loosening cleaning fluid following up with a cloth to clean up loose oil and dirt. An air gun with an extension nozzle can help clean corners joints that you can’t get to. Use a pen light to spot any joints that move, rotate or oscillate when you turn the wheel. Some will have oil holes and some won’t. Also change the thread adjustments while you do this. Add a drop to each spot while rotating the wheel. Wipe up excess oil. Check and equalize your thread tension, adjust stitch length and give it a try. If the machine has not had much maintenance in the past use it for a couple days and the repeat the lubrication. Now… after all that general info that applies to 99% of all machines the important thing about the 120.491 Kenmore is that the manual says to not oil it.Repeat:…Do not oil it!… It uses nylon and bronze bushings. A good cleaning is still a good idea. The next thing to do is to Google your model. There are lots of hits including a you-tube that is good. Duane

I read your post on the Pink Atlas Deluxe sewing machine. As a little girl, being babysat by my grandma, I used to spend time with her – watching her cook, sew and looking at TV novelas (Spanish soap-operas), back when there were only 4-5 channels. When she passed away, the only thing I wanted was her sewing machine (the Atlas). To me, I was the only person in the family who had a connection with her in this particular area of her life (sewing). Needless to say, it means a lot to me to have it. I am very afraid to mess up the machine in any way. Can anyone help with a manual for the machine? I would be very appreciative.

Many Kenmore manuals can be found in the Sears-Kenmore FB group. An explanation of S/K model numbers follows:
ALL Kenmore sewing machines have a model number that begins with three numbers and then a period. This is the mfgr/source code. It tells us who supplied and sometimes who manufactured the machine. On the machine label you will see what it calls a model number, for example, “158.16012” ON THE MANUAL, HOWEVER, you will see a model number “1601,” Which is derived by dropping the mfgr code and the last digit, which is considered to be a ‘rev’ or version number. For our example, it is rev/version ‘2.’
‘Complete’ model number: 158.12551 – Mfgr Maruzen; Model number on manual ‘1255’; rev level ‘1’
‘Complete’ model number: 148.19372 – Mfgr Soryu; Model number on manual ‘1937’; rev level ‘2’
As one can imagine, collisions might occur with this model number abreviation scheme. Two differnt complete model numbers could result in the same abreviated model number. e.g., if there were two machines 158.12551 and 148.12551. I don’t know what Sears did to manage that.
Kenmore source codes you might see on sewing machines:
116 – Matsushita
117 – White
120 – New Process Gear (frmr Div. of Chrysler)
148 – Soryu
158 – Maruzen, which has evolved into what is now Jaguar.
340 – Necchi
385 – Janome
516 – Gritzner Kaiser
The link at the top of the page to Kenmore manuals is missing.
If you’re still looking, you’ll find it in the Necchi FB group.
@MP – that doesn’t really look like a ‘real’ Kenmore model/part number. Se aother of my posts elsewhere in this thread.
If you are still looking for that PDF drop me a line.

Thank you Janel, I am going to call the local machine shops to see if any of them were the ones to service my machine but the lady we got it from said it hasn’t been serviced since 2007 and has not been used since it was last serviced… it definitely needs a belt but I don’t know what else.
I found a manual for a plus 40 year old Kenmore sewing machine at a local repair shop. Owner let me take it home and copy parts I needed since it was a close “match”. Very helpful. A possible source?? Luck to you.

Thank you for this. I have always sewn by hand. I took a quilting class and was surprised that everyone used their sewing machine and that it was required for the class. I inherited an old machine but it is almost 100 lbs and only has a straight stitch. I quickly gave up, quit the class, and put the frustrating machine out of my sight

Can anyone tell me where the oil points are on a Kenmore 120.491 sewing machine? I cannot find a manual for it and it was produced in 1954. This is a strange machine and it appears Sears deviated from standard basic design when they produced this machine. It has a bicycle type chain drive and the motor uses a rubber friction wheel to turn the large drive wheel. I suspect they found this design to be flawed and eliminated it after just a couple of years. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need to find a motor for it also.
Thanks,
M. Chambers

Do you have a photo of your machine you can e-mail?
I received my Elnita225i machine when my sister passed away. I am anxious to use the machine but have no instructions or manual, just the machine. I would guess that it is probably at least 10 to 15 years old. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
Then they are either models 27, 28, 127, 128, 66 for 15 for the one in 1922. Go to Singer.com.
The 117 is the White 77. The manuals are basically the same. The styling might be different, but it’s the same tension assembly & bobbin cases.
Thanks! I just sent you a picture of the machine.
I have a Morse Deluxe model 1954 without the manual and only a note saying how to thread it , if you could find me a manual that would be really nice thank you

I’m burrowing my mom’s sewing machine and she has no idea where the manual is. I’ve checked online in several places and found it on a couple websites to buy. Before doing so though, I’d like to check with all here to see if someone has it or knows where I can obtain one for free.
The model is the kenmore 158.13160. I did check the website that is listed on this site for kenmore, but they only have the parts manual for ordering parts and servicing your machine. They don’t have the actual manual and I’m in need of learning how to use the buttonhole piece.
Let me know, thanks.
