I also have her commercial machine (she was a seamstress by trade with a Cincinnati company). When she retired, they gave her the machine she had used for years. Only mod was to swap out the 220 volt motor for a 110 volt. It's a Singer Model 241-2, Serial# AF838095, built in 1941 at the Elizabeth, NJ Plant.

Now I only sew easier things like bias skirts and simple tops. It's been a dream machine, I oil and grease it every 6 months or so. I brought it to Mexico with me and use it frequently.

If your thread keeps breaking and it doesn't seem to want to pick up the bobbin thread, maybe you are are threading the needle in the wrong direction.
