Hey everybody. I'm a long time lurker but this is my first post. First off, just want to thank you awesome people for providing me with so much info and getting my pack down to a very comfortable weight compared to the 40lbs of my old pack.
But anyways, the reason I am posting is because I finally got my hands on a sewing machine! My grandma gave me her old Singer 347. Well, this is the first time I've ever laid my hands on a sewing machine, and I have no idea how to thread the dang thing! Does anyone have the PDF file of the manual that they can email to me or anything? I would love to start practicing so I can hopefully make a few small pieces of gear for my 2011 AT hike, thanks!
Dec 28, 2010 at 5:02 pm #1678437Google the vintage Singer Yahoo group. Most models have manuals in their archives. A good group of people. Very helpful.
Dec 28, 2010 at 5:06 pm #1678438Awesome, didn't know about that. Just sent a request to join the group. Thanks

Have you thought of asking Grandma for lessons? I bet she would be thrilled.Cheers
