The Kenmore model 120-491 typically uses a standard 15x1 (also known as 2020) needle. For the bobbin, it generally requires a Class 15 bobbin, which is commonly used in many sewing machines. Always refer to the user manual for the most accurate specifications, as variations may exist.
The Sears Kenmore Model # 385.8108 is a bobbin less model available for around $220.00 US.
The bobbin is wound in the bobbin case. You open up the slide plate and push the little lever with the bull's eye on it all the way to the left. Then you thread the needle with the thread you want on the bobbin, then pull a few inches and wrap the needle thread around the knurled knob that holds the foot onto the shaft (to keep it from slipping.) Then you push down on the foot pedal and the bobbin fills from the needle thread. Don't overfill the bobbin or it won't wind out properly.
It depends on the model of the machine. If the bobbin is a top loading drop in bobbin, it's probably a class 66 bobbin. If the bobbin case is down below on the front of the machine, and you take it out to remove the bobbin, it's usually a class 15 bobbin. If you have your manual, it should tell you what bobbin you need. If you don't have your manual, go to managemylife.com, enter your model number. and you should be able to download your manual. On the newer kenmores, the model number is on a plate on the back of the machine, and will start with 385. and continue on. You need to enter the complete number. Bekhat
You need a White Rotary bobbin. They are currently available (as of Dec 2011). You can get them through Quality Sewing in Tacoma, WA. Their website is QualitySewing.com but I do not know if they can be purchased through the website.
To install the bobbin on a New Home Model 545 sewing machine, first, ensure the machine is turned off. Remove the bobbin case from the machine and insert the bobbin so that the thread unwinds in a clockwise direction. Place the bobbin case back into the machine, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Finally, pull the thread through the slot and under the tension spring before threading the needle.
Have the instruction book but does not mention so I have the machine and I would say same size as the singer but are metal OK ( bobbin ) Most Kenmore sewing machines (including this one) take class 15 bobbins which you can find at Joann's, Walmart, and most places that deal in sewing machines. They come in either plastic or metal.
First - it appears 2142 is a style not a model. The model number is on the front in a black and silver plate under the machine but in front when you lift it from cabinet. Get that number then go to Sewing Parts Online (linked below) and order it.
