My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Old Sears sewing machine

15 years ago

I'm trying to put an old machine together for a woman who needs one. I about have it but can't get it to do a straight stitch.

Does anyone have a manual for a Sears 148-15600 that can look something up for me?
