    Default Bought a used sewing machine

    But it didn't come with the instruction manual.
    How do I get the instruction manual? I've searched online, but everyone wants anywhere from $10-$25 for just the manual. I refuse to pay more for the manual than the darned sewing machine I hate to pay for it at all since it should have come with it.

    I think I can figure out how to sew with it, but I cannot figure out how to load the bobbins, etc. I am a sewing machine idiot when it comes to that part

    Did you try the company, or company web site? Though, just in my opinion, it might be worth it to pay, if you find no other solution. My last sewing machine lasted 25 years, and with a good manual you can maintain the machine better, get more use out of it, lessen the chance of breakage, and most manuals even include a way to get replacement parts. My dh got ten dollars of replacement parts for my old machine, and it extended it's life for about 5 more years. Just a thought. I know the extra money is irritating.

    YankeeMom, I'm sorry if you have to buy a manual. It's still much cheaper to do so and have your machine working properly because you knew how to use it and service it correctly. If you paid much less than the manual I think you are still getting a really awesome deal by buying the manual!

    O good. I had no idea what "load the bobbins" meant.
