Hi,
Two books that might be useful to you are "You Can Repair Your Own Sewing Machine" by Grover Tharp, (ISBN# 0-9614713-0-1), paperback, about $5.00; and, "How To Adjust and Repair Your Sewing Machine" by Arthur Smith, (ISBN# 0-9615146-0-4), paperback, about $15.00. You might be able to order either or both of them from Tattered Cover Bookstore in Denver at 1-800-833-9327. If you've already found a book that you like, please post it here & let us all know! pima52
