I found this machine at the swap shop of our transfer station. It
appears to be in good condition but I can't figure out how to thread
it or wind the bobbin. Does anyone have an operating manual that they
would be willing to share? Also does anyone know how old this model
is. It seems to be built pretty well. Thanks, Lenny

We are having trouble getting our 5522 to sew heavy fabric. It is regular awning canvas and should not be any problem for this heavy-duty machine. However the machine stalls when we try to get it sewing. We're using a #18 needle and it is new. We can sew lighter fabric with the same needle and settings with no problem. Any idea what we'er doing wrong?
