Is there a free manual for sears kenmore sewing machine model 148.12060. will it include a parts list . If free is not an alternative, what do you suggest the best site is.

All question need full 'make model (what it is).
You posted to the category 'Washing Machines', but it appears to be a Sewing Machine. I moved it to the correct category.

$5.95 is near enough 'Free'.

Sears, the makers of Kenmore, seems to think it is this one and it's free.

Sears carries manuals for most of their machines (usually for free). The manual is invaluable for using your machine, including threading instructions.

That manual is listed in my website. Linda at Relics

you can go to sears parts direct and contact them about a manual. Kenmores are pretty basic machines, if you go to www.sewusa.com they have threading diagrams of 158 models. I haven't run into your particular manual yet but I am sure with the number of free sites out there someone will have it or one close enough. www.managemylife.com ( I think that it is part of sears lets you download different Kenmore manuals for free too)

Try www.sewing-machine-manuals.com and click on relics and don't be put off by the word relics

Sears Parts Direct (800)366-7278 or an online site tha has them. Sears/KMart should have provided that for you!

go to www.sears.pammar.net for a few bucks he will send you the manual in a pdf. format
