I found this Kenmore sewing machine at goodwill yesterday, and cleaned it up. The thing looks wonderful and has most of the things that would have come with the machine, except the instructions. Today I threaded it up and tried sewing some stuff. It did not work at first but quickly found I had a dial set wrong, and after adjusting it, it sews nicely. I am just wondering if this machine is supposed to sound like this or if something needs adjusting. I am also wondering what needles this machine takes, will brother brand work? (Just wondering about if brother sewing machine needles would work as I have a brother machine with a bunch of needles.)
In the video I am using whatever needle came with the machine and some coats and clark 100% cotton quilting thread. I am just waiting to change the needle when I oil everything as I have to buy oil.
