Title: New to the forum, and with a question already
Post by: av8 on January 16, 2011, 10:08:26 am
My name is Mike. I'm a semi-retired motor-journalist and continuing builder of hot rods and motorcycles. My shop partner and I have a well-equipped fabrication and machine shop where we pursue our hobby interests. We've recently added an upholstery area on the second floor of the shop, with machines acquired from the estate of my partner's late son who did custom auto upholstery. We have lots to learn, of course, and one of the first things to learn is how to thread our Singer 16-188 machine. The only illustrations I've found on the internet are faint and indistinct. A good, clear illustration would be greatly appreciated.

This forum is a real treasure trove of the type of information we need, and I will no doubt be back with more questions in the future.

TIA

Mike

Here's an old post regarding that machine:
