Imperial sewing machine, model 535: I have the owner’s manual for free non-commercial use download. Do you have an Imperial user manual you could share?

Kenmore Zig Zag Deluxe sewing machine, from Donald Marcellus. I estimate this machine to be from 1965 or so. It bears a striking resemblance to the Imperial Zig Zag Deluxe sewing machine. Nice looking machine. Photo 1 by Donald Marcellus

Other Imperial Info
Hello, I am looking for an owners manual for an Imperial model 919. Does anyone know if or where I can find one? Thanks in advance.
[Don: Hi Dona,
I do not have the Imperial 919 user manual, but the Imperial 562 might be close enough. The manual is free to download.

If you do find the Imperial 919 I would be happy to host the manual for free download for you.
Thanks, and Happy Sewing, Don]
Hi, I’m looking for an owners manual for an imperial HZL-907. If anyone have a copy of it or knows where i can find it. Thank you very much.
[Don: Hi Mayra, I’m not familiar with your sewing machine model. Can you send me a photo from the front and the side, and I will recommend a manual?]
Any chance of finding a manual for an Imperial model 100? Or at least one with the tension discs on the side and upper-downy thing (technical term) on the back? I keep breaking my thread and figure I must be threading it wrong 🤔
[Don: Hey Kay,
I’m unfamiliar with your Imperial Model 100. Please send me a clear photo(s) of your sewing machine and I’ll recommend you one of my user manuals. I currently have 9, all free for non-commercial use download. Take a clear pic of the thread tensioner on the side, and I’ll tell you how it should be threaded. Most machines are very similar.
I have a user manual with the thread tensioner on the side, and one article on how to thread on a very old Imperial model, which the thread tensioner is also on the side.

As for breaking your thread, there are a couple of possibilities:
-thread is low quality: has happened to me, using $0.50 cheap thread
-thread path incorrect (probable cause)
-thread tension too high (turn the tension knob down)
-tension of the bobbin too high
-sewing machine needs oiling
I hope these give you some ideas. I know, I’m a sewing machine geek.
Happy sewing, Don]
