Not sure which attachments you need to find.

Sears Parts Direct has a portion of the Service manual for the Kenmore 15818034 here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Sewing-Machine-Parts/user-manuals/manual-downloads/Model-15818034/0582/1200000?modelNumber=15818034&diagramPageId=&documentId= . However, the owner's manual for the Kenmore 158.1803 should help you since it is from the same line of sewing machines. This manual is available from SewUsa here: http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Kenmore_Manuals/1803_Instruction_Manual.htm . It's also available from Sewing Parts Online here: http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-manual-kenmore-158-18030.aspx .

I hope this helps.

Hi Freysauto,

You can obtain the Owners Manual here: Instruction Manual Kenmore 385 18221 Models

There is an owners manual for your sewing machine, but no service manual." Can download service manual for Kenmore sewing machine 385 18221...

Good luck.

You probably can't, unless you know a repair person who'd be willing to lend you his/hers. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Sewing-machine-Parts/Model-3851884180/0582/1210000?pathTaken=&prst=0&shdMod=3851884180 is the parts diagram for this machine.

However, I know of no "string" associated with a stitch selector on any machine, so I'm wondering if you might need a pro to help...

I can't find a manual for that exact model, but I found a service manual and instruction manual for a 11206630. They will, hopefully, be close to your machine. Normanlly, when the model numbers are that close, the manuals are very close as well.
