    Need help with a Dressmaker Thread injector

    My daughter was given this thread injector for x-mas. There was no instruction manual and I can't find what I'm looking for on-line. She needs a diagram on how to thread the machine. There is no model #, just a serial #-200753.

    I was in the process of making a Jerry chair (pics coming). She decided to bring out her machine. If all goes well, she'll be DIY her own hammock.

    A pic looking down at the top would be helpful as well.

    I am pretty sure that is a Singer 15 Clone. http://www.grandmotherssewingmachine..._15_clone.html

    That may help with finding a threading diagram.

    Other than color, looks just like it. That should help find the threading pics/directions. I threaded it last night, but don't know if its correct. My daughter was playing around with it and sewed a few things..

    This machine is a rather unique design in that the tension adjustment and take up arm are rear mounted. I would agree it is most likely a Singer 15 clone. If you find the thread pattern that you used allows the machine to work properly then I would be confident in saying you did it correctly. I've never had a machine threaded incorrectly that worked as it was supposed to.

    Thanks Ramblinrev. The singers that I looked at were close, but didn't have the takeup arm in the rear. After looking at some pics, I was close but not exact on the threading, so I adjusted. Still works, so I'll leave it at that. My daughter is sewing, ummm thread injecting, with it NOW. She said that she thought that was just for "old people" and didn't realize how much she would enjoy it. I'll let her play with the scrape material she now has. After she gets confident with it, I'll have to make a trip to Joann's and buy some real thread and material. I was also told to tell everyone that helped--- THANK YOU!!!
    So, Ramblinrev and modhammock, a big THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!
