A good website to try for sewing machine manuals is www.manualsonline.com. This website has a home appliances section, within which you will find sewing machines. You can choose from popular brands of sewing machines, including Singer, Pfaff, Bernina, Brother, Euro-Pro, Husgvarna, and Kenmore. After you have chosen the brand of your sewing machine, you can search within the brand to find the model you have. Manuals on this website are usually contributed by other website users, while some are official, downloadable files. They contain instructions and guidelines such as how to use your sewing machine, the different components of your model and what they do, and sewing machine maintenance. Another easy-to-use and helpful website to try is www.about.com. This website contains a number of links to the official websites of popular sewing machine brands such as Singer and Brother. This website also has a number of links which can connect you to reliable, trustworthy stockists and providers of various sewing machine parts, including sewing machine manuals. It is worth trying to get a hard, paper copy of your sewing machine's manual. Although you may be happy to use an online or downloaded version, if you ever come to sell your sewing machine, the manual is considered to be a vital part of the sewing machine, just as much as all the cogs and screws. Therefore, trying to sell a sewing machine without a manual, even if it is not the original manual, is like trying to sell a faulty or broken machine. The best way to get your hands on a paper copy of the manual is by getting in touch with the brand company - Singer, Brother etc. They will usually be happy to provide you with a manual which accompanies your model of machine, although you will probably incur a small cost.
