The sewing machines with model numbers beginning with 385 were first manufactured in 1965. Therefore, most of them are likely to have the production date between 1965 and 1987.
Where to find Sewing Machine Manuals. The good news is that most major manufacturers offer their manuals free on their websites as a PDF download. There are also several excellent commercial sites where you can purchase old manuals for an average of $15-$25. Definitely worth the investment!
The brand first appeared on a four-drawer drop feed sewing machine sold from 1913 to 1919. The first Kenmore washing machine was introduced in 1927.
By matching the serial number to the corresponding date, you can determine the exact age of the machine. Quality also plays an important part in the value of the model. As expected, high quality, functioning machines are more sought after than damaged ones and tend to be a better option.
Sewing machines can be placed in carry-on or checked bags. According to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), if you`re looking to carry on a sewing machine, “you should check with the airline to ensure that the item will fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat of the airplane.”
Sewing machine manuals are considered a “part,” or an essential piece of equipment to the machine. For those who know the make and model of the sewing machine, it`s likely they`ll be able to locate a manual. The first step is finding the machine`s manufacturer and model number.

Families sewed their pants, shirts, and dresses using a needle and thread. But Elias Howe changed all that. Born on July 9, 1819, Howe came up with another way to make clothes. He patented the first practical American sewing machine in 1846.
The thing, however, is that Kenmore appliances are not Kenmore anymore. Formally, yes, they carry the Kenmore names, but all of them are just relabeled LG-s, Whirlpools, Electrolux-es, Samsungs, Bosches, and even Daewoos (if you ever heard of it) sold by Sears. It`s not a secret, after all.

Old Kenmore sewing machines can also be great. If you need a sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch, the Kenmore 30 Stitch is highly recommended by sewing blog The Crafty Princess Diaries. Produced in the 1980s, these are affordable, high quality machines.

Our beautiful Bernina 730 sewing machine has been stored in the garage in its original case, and that wrapped in plastic, for a few years now. Temperatures have been both hot and cold in the garage, but the environment was dust-free.
We have brought the Bernina in, set it up, oiled it as specified in the manual, with the original sewing machine oil. We have correctly threaded the machine and the bobbin thread is up.
When we press on the pedal to sew, the machine gets electricity and buzzes
ANSWER : Hello and thank you for using Fixya ….
From what you describe there can be only 2 causes…Either the machine is still stuck ..and the motor buzzes cause it can not spin it ..and in this case it needs to be oiled more..and be spun by hand until it moves well and free…and after that it will work ..or during the storage ..from condense or so ..the motor is stuck ..and needs to be checked…In this second case ..it probably need to be oiled too (the motor ) ..and the coils changed..
Have a nice day ..!

.I have this machine. I use it for my heavy sewing, as it will go through anything. I would be happy to copy the manual and send it to you for copy costs. Just let me know. I would love to know what knowledge you have gained about this machine. It does not appear to be an easy machine to find info on, may not have produced a lot? I had no idea it was not a European produced machine.

My Singer Izek sewing machine starts and stops and wont sew continuously. When I push down the pedal it sews about 2 inches then stops and light starts flashing, I have to let off of the pedal and push it again, over and over. It did this once before for awhile and then just started sewing right for awhile and now its started it again. I’ve checked everything.
ANSWER : If it’s not the thread and not the pedal then it’s definitely a power problem. You need to replace the power cable and then check again the functionality.

I inherited my mothers sewing machine, bit there is no manual with it. What do i do to lubricate the sewing machine? Do I have toremove a cover, what part do I lubricate?
ANSWER : Hello: My condolences on your loss.
You don’t say what kind of machine or how old it might be. Many of the newer manufacturers tell the user to NOT oil their machine of if it is permissible such as on Janome, the only place to oil is in the bobbin race. Even then only one drop of oil.
If you don’t know when the last time *********** had the machine serviced, I would spend a few dollars and have it cleaned, lubed and checked by a professional, especially if the machine has been sitting for some time.
On old school machines (black and gold types) there were several oil ports but even then only one drop was needed.
