Kenmore 385 17624 Sewing Machine Manual
The Sears Corporation makes a variety of sewing machines under the Kenmore brand name. One of the most popular of these machine is the model 385. This model is both sturdy and economical and can be found in many households throughout the United States. Although these are well-made sewing machines, there will be times when your 385 isn't working as well as it used to. Because the model 385 sewing machine is a mechanical, rather than computerized, machine, you can often troubleshoot and repair small issues yourself. Check the tension dial if the problem is still evident in the scrap fabric line of stitches. Set the tension dial to its neutral setting (usually a 3 or 4), and sew a line of test stitches on your scrap fabric.

Adjust the tension up slowly, sewing a line of test stitches after each adjustment to see if it corrects the issue. If it does, stop and keep that tension setting. If it does not, slowly adjust the tension setting down, sewing a line of test stitches after each adjustment to see if it corrects the issue.
