I dragged this machine home a few hours ago, thanks for this video! I have to clean dust bunnies and get a part before I can sew, but it’s such a cool steampunk machine!

I have the same machine. The lever & numbers on the right is to adjust stitch length (forward & backward). The lever on the left adjusts the tighteness of the stitch. You are missing a screw & spring loaded washer that goes in the hole that you ran the thread through when winding the bobbin. The spring loaded washer pinches the thread & provides tension.

That big thumb screw in the bed is for a seam guide, there’s a metal piece in the box it goes with. You can remove it, but those guides are way better than tape or magnetic ones. I learned to sew on a class 15 White with one, aces!

Most early Kenmore's, including this model, were manufactured by White in Cleveland, OH. Nice video. The screw is to affix attachments like the seam guide.

One man's garbage is another's treasure. I bought my machine a couple months ago and all whom have this machine has a treasure. It is simple just what I wanted. Enjoy! I got a 117.812 but the book is for a 117.552.

I’m loving Grandma Teppo. I received this exact machine with original book. I did the same to thread a bobbin until my father showed me the spool pin in the back bottom corner is where the thread spool sits to fill the bobbin. It works both ways. 💕 also this Kenmore design works just like the White machine with side mount tension & turning hand wheel opposite of the Singer. Great machine. Keep up the fun videos.💕

White produced these machines for Kenmore, Dressmaker, Domestic, Franklin, and of course White they may all vary a little but basically the same from what I have learned. I am NOT any kind of expert, really a beginner just been doing a lot of studying.

You're using the wrong spool pin to wind a bobbin. It's the one under the hand wheel.
