At first I couldn't even get a good straight stitch. By trial and error I finally got a good bottom stitch, but the I couldn't get the top stitch to look good. When I got the 1410 machine everything was wacky, everything looked like a war zone. Someone must have turned everything they could turn and messed it all up. When nothing else would correct the problem of terrible stitches on top and bottom, my last resort was to turn the little screw on the bobbin casing - Bingo! the stitches came out great.
One thing I haven't figured out yet is the bobbin winder. I don't have a manual so everything I do is by trying one step at a time. Since I've never owned a Kenmore to sew on other than a few stitches I had no idea how good these vintage machines were made, but my sis always claimed they were the most reliable machine out there.
The pics above are of the machine and buttonholer attachment, I forgot to take a pic of the slider plate needed. This machine is so much to sew on, it's so smooth and quiet, I might have to keep it awhile.
