Machine will only sew in reverse

Hi
Questions.
Does the machine only feed in reverse?
Will the machine feed as normal(forward).

If the machine will only work in reverse, then it is highly likely it is stuck in reverse and needs a good service to free it off.

It is very difficult trying to diagnose the problem without looking at the machine. A reasonable sewing machine tech should be able to sort the problem in no time at all.

Looking for a walking foot for Kenmore 385.16554 model. Where can I get one?

Most good sewing machine suppliers should be able to get you one. If yours is a reasonably new machine (last 20 years or so) and it is a low shank machine they're quite easy to get and usually reasonably cheap.

Missing manual

RE: Kenmore Jaguar Quick System sewing machine, model # 158.1070180 I have this machine and the manual. I even still have the receipt from when I bought it in April 1990. It just stopped working this year. I might hold on to it and get it repaired one day. Handy little machine, I took it everywhere with me. Is there someplace I could send you a scanned copy if you're still looking for it? Tina

Kenmore 158.17600 Sewing Machine. It is not feeding fabric?

You don't need to replace them, because fabric doesn't wear away hardened steel. When was it last cleaned, lubricated, adjusted and timed? They need doing every couple of years whether you use the machine or not. https://www.google.com/search?q=sewing+machine+service+and+repair+near+me ..

How do you adjust the feed dog height on a Kenmore 1690 (158.16900) sewing machine?

To adjust the feed dog height on a Kenmore 1690 (158.16900) sewing machine, you can follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the sewing machine and unplug it from the power source for safety.
  2. Remove the needle and presser foot from the machine.
  3. Locate the feed dog adjustment screw, which is usually located on the backside of the sewing machine, near the feed dogs.
  4. Use a screwdriver to loosen the feed dog adjustment screw. It might be a slotted screw or a thumbscrew, depending on the model.
  5. Gradually adjust the height of the feed dogs by turning the adjustment screw clockwise or counterclockwise. Clockwise rotation raises the feed dogs, while counterclockwise rotation lowers them. Make small adjustments and test with a scrap fabric after each turn to achieve the desired height.
  6. Once you have set the feed dog height, tighten the adjustment screw securely.
  7. Reinstall the needle and presser foot, and plug in the sewing machine.
  8. Test the machine with a piece of fabric to ensure the feed dogs are working properly and at the desired height.
It is important to consult the sewing machine manual for specific instructions related to your model, as the location of the adjustment screw may vary.

I have a more 1787180 Kenmore model and want a freemotion foot

The Kenmore 158.1787180 uses a low shank sewing machine foot. See some of the parts here: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/kenmore-158-1787180-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?index=1 . As long as you get the correct shank height, most presser feet are universal. You can also get the snap-on feet and an appropriate shank to snap-on foot universal adapter. (Some button-hole feet need to plug into the sewing machine, for example.) It can be hard to measure the shank on presser feet. You need the distance from the bottom of the foot to the bottom of the screw opening. See https://www.anniescatalog.com/pages/which_foot.html . I've found calipers are better then most tape measures for this. (If you measure to the absolute center of the screw, then you add 1/4".) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

The '385 129' is the important bit. The suffixes are often due to different branding or sales outlets or parts of North and South America.

The lever for the presser foot on my Kenmore 158.441 sewing machine is locked in the down position

If the lever for the presser foot on your Kenmore 158.441 sewing machine is locked in the down position, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the presser foot: Make sure the presser foot is properly installed and aligned on the machine. If the presser foot is not properly installed or aligned, it can cause the lever to become stuck in the down position.
  2. Check the presser foot lever: Inspect the presser foot lever for any visible damage or looseness. Make sure the lever is not bent or broken and that it is properly aligned and connected to the machine.
  3. Check the threading: Make sure the machine is properly threaded. If the thread is not correctly aligned or tensioned, it can cause the presser foot lever to become stuck in the down position.
  4. Check for any other visible issues: Inspect the machine and its components for any visible issues that may be causing the presser foot lever to become stuck in the down position. This can include debris or foreign objects that may have gotten stuck in the machine, or damage to the machine or its components.
If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the machine serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.
