I came into a White model 1455 machine of recent. I searched online
where to buy a manual and only managed to get ripped of for $18 by
SewingStyle.com - They do not send my manual nor answer my email or
telephone messages but send me offers to buy more stuff now.
Anyway - I do not know about sewing machines. I figured out how to wind
the bobbin. Some fooling around got me a stich that looked pretty good
on top but a wadded mess on bottom. I figured that might mean I need to
adjust some tension on bobbin but see no way to do that.
Thanks in advance if anyone should have any helpful suggestions.

I have a "jeans machine" manual that may help you. Some of
the parts look identical but the outside is a bit different.
Email if you would like me to scan it and send it via email.
take care
Liz

Thanks - I am Craig at craig.kling@gmail.com
It was maybe thirty years ago that I did a fair job of sewing a few
things - with my mom standing over my shoulder. Now I have inherited her
sewing machines but not her knowledge. Her sisters want the old Singers
- they both have fine new machines to use. I suppose they want the
Singers to just set out to see. ;-)

Stay away from the bobbin tension! That's not the problem.
Check to make sure the thread is in the take-up lever and properly
seated between the tension disks. Also check the needle hole in the
needle plate. If it has been gouged from needle strikes, the thread will
catch and form large loops under the fabric.
