Date: 9/12/12 12:12 PM Ok, im new to this site, ive been searching for some information on my good housekeeper sewing machine model 970 & theres a number under that that is 27695. Its 2-tone seafoam green & pale 50s green! Made in japan. I cant find anything on how to thread it or put the bobbin in. Cant find ANYTHING at ALL on it! All i have found was sites selling stuff compatible w/ the good housekeeper sewing machines. If any 1 knows anything about them or have came across a site about how to thread/put bobbin in it id appreciate it SOOO much!!! The bobbin isnt a drop-in, its "hanging" vertically directly under presser foot & needle if that helps any! Thanks every1 so very much!! |

Date: 9/12/12 10:22 PM welcome to PR! If you look here on the boards, you will find a section titled "Sewing Machines." You will get more answers if you post this question there. Here is the link: Sewing Machine
Have you searched here under machines? I know someone will have an idea-since it was made in Japan it is probably similar to others made in that era and someone will be able to help you.

Date: 9/13/12 0:29 AM It sounds like, from your description, that it might be like my old Kenmore? It has a metal casing for the bobbin, with a little flap on the closed side. You open the flap, put the bobbin in it, and push it into the space below the needle, releasing the flap after the bobbin-in-casing is seated.
Might be worth a try? |

Date: 9/13/12 1:22 PM The Stradivaro table probably went with or for, an old made in Japan, 1950's-60's machine. That actually said Stradivaro on it. Or yours could even be one or like one of those. The so called named/labeled "Stradivaro" machine I have sewed on, was painted blue metal, and did have a class 15 bobbin like that. Good House Keeping was never a real sewing machine brand, or manufacturer. Good House Keeping was a ladies magazine instead. They did though give their "approval" to all sorts products sometimes, and then you might find a "Good House Keeping seal of approval" sticker on something they lent their approval to back then. For an example, my 1950's Nechhi Super Novas, have a "Good House Keeping" sticker on them. I think it probably got put on their though, once those machines got shipped to the USA, and then sold, through a distributor instead. Just because I don't think "Good Housekeeping" was ever an existing popular Ladies magazine back in Italy, were those particular machines were made at all. |

Date: 9/13/12 2:14 PM could it be this machine?
You could probley order it from model 970
There are also several other models made that have the same manual. It looks like it might be a white. ------
