First it was frozen, i cleaned it and oiled it. The it was starting to sow but the tension was not quite right. I thought i was almost there. Then it froze completely. There was a lot of lint/ yarn dust in the bobbin holder in the machine and i tried to remove it. I think it’s need a service but it’s so expensive 😢. I’m really disappointed. The machine shines and the cabinet is fixed beautifully and the threadle and bobbinwinder are working. Does anybody have a suggestion how to get this old machine moving?

I have and love this cartridge. I still use a Crivut Expression 1st generation.

Amazing idea! Thanks for sharing 😀.Hugs from Brazil!

Thank you for this video, I have followed you through all of this and everything is great except my Montgomery wards machine has an issue with the foot and lever being stuck, any suggestions?

I have this exact machine, complete with the user manual. However, the bobbin winder isnt working and the bobbin winder mechanism seems different than all the other machines I've watched on KZbin. It might be that the little black rubber (?) tire thing. We took it out and are trying to clean it and see if that will work.

I just found this video and I love the idea of enlarging these! Thank you!

Singer Model 66 was introduced at the turn of the 19th to the 20th Century in 1900. Singer deemed it THE Sewing machine of the 20th Century....These early Singers were small examples of the Industrial Revolution.....and the key to keeping these machines working was OIL...NOT 4 in One !! Use good quality sewing machine oil like Singer, Lily, or Zoom to name 3...Four in One oil leaves a dark varnish based residue...You can see it on vintage machines which were lubricated by 4 in One .Singer was always and is a pure oil ...I also like synthetic versions like Tri-Flow and Liquid Beaings. Read your manual on where to oil and how often. In fact the finish on old Singers was made to be cleaned using Singer oil....then you're decals will be safe..

Very important - change the lube inside!!!

Love this! Thank you ❤

So confusing instructions. Need to redo the mistakes!!

Perfect, just what I wanted to know, thank you x much love and God Bless from the UK xx

Can you write on the gessoed pages when dried with a pen and or marker or does it have to be special pens/markers?

BRILLIANT! to test the sandwiches on the manual machine first!

Great idea because tonersheets are expensive!

Your video helped me thred 5his old beauty of mine, thank you. My stich was perfect! Will save to oil and grease if it slows down!

On the signature machine that I have all of the oil holes have red paint to point out what gets a drop.

I found a new peddle with cord on Amazon for $20😊 I gave $30 for the signature at a thrift store. So$50 total

I have a uht j1414 Montgomery wards, my issue is that the presser foot is stuck down I can't lift it . Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks for ur time.

What are the cutting mats you used? I have the regular Gemimi. I sometimes use magnetic vent covers to cut dies. All of the plates cost too much.. And the hot water and cookie sheet is tiring.

Thank you sooo much for all the information. I always try to do my tune ups on my machines. Question: Why is it that we shouldn't use oil on the gears? Thank you in advance for your awesome Help. Greetings from Bakersfield,California 😊

Thank you for sharing !❤

Thank you for sharing this wonderful information about this sewing machine. My truest best friend gave me her mother's sewing machine and her mother has passing to be with the heavenly Father. And I had no idea how to thread this machine until I typed in the model number and I showed me the video. Once again thank you for Susie Williams from Cuero Texas.

thank you!! Just starting to play with different mediums. This was so helpful.

Man do I love the internet and KZbin. 😆 I knew I had one of these things and I never used it because it never worked properly. With all the "stamping wheels" coming to the market I thought this would produce a similar result. Thank you for this oldie but goodie. I will have to try this out to see if my assumption is correct.

I love this! So straightforward and direct to the point unlike DIY videos today.

The more expensive towels are thicker, the cheaper ones are easier to sew.

You are very good at explaining what you do, nice clear, concise instructions, love it!

I like your pattern, thank you.

Hi on the Gemini I have several other plates. A white one and rubber mat, don’t you use them with your dies and embossing? I might try self healing mats because the cutting plates bow easily and are expensive. Thanks though.xx

Thank you for sharing!

Can you change it to handwheel turning with the hand not on the motor.

I hope to make some of these soon. Thank you for all the work you put into this video. You did an excellent job. Yes, there is always a right and wrong side of the fabric. I used to work in a garment factory and learned how to know the difference. Yes it is VERY hard to tell so most people don’t need to worry about it, but if you look at both sides in a well lit area you can see it. The right side is on the bolt, so i make an X on the wrong side,so I can keep it correct. You can use a stiletto at 50:40 to help tuck the towel in.

Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial, I made my very first one it turned out so well, of course I am going to make more for gifts. I only watched your video twice and it came out great.

Thank you for watching and glad you found it easy to follow

The best thing I learned in a long long time. I have been buying the little round discs. There aren't very many in a package. They are just too pricey. This is awesome. Thank you.

I've watched at least 10 or more tutorials on the tissue holder, this is the best. No excessive talking, very quick, informative and helpful. I too would sew assembly line. I like that you did that. It's all about efficiency for me. They are so cute. Thank you

I LOVE PAPER PADS

The title was misleading. Tuned in about the precision press but got a a lot of talk about something else.

AWWWW

ART

I LOVE ART SUPPILES.

Nice job and thank you for sharing this tutorial!

I wan this punches...from where I will get ? it

why would you use Cuttlebug plates? Company doesn't exist any more.

Sew the 4 by 8 piece in a quarter of an inch first and then place towel inside,pin and sew. Much easier now.😊

I had my cricket to draw it from Pinterest and then that way I could draw as big as I needed

I have this very model and need to replace the large belt. Would you be able to give me any info on that at this time. I know this video was made some time ago, so I'm shooting in the dark maybe. I need to know how to do it and would buying from a site that supposedly shows the exact belts for this model be a good idea? My concern is that they have been sitting on a shelf for forty years. Thanks.

I bought the glimmer machine after watching your video. I am hoping I can use it with my go power and emboss machine. It’s coming today. I have a sizzix sidekick I can use if not but I really want the electric machine to work.

My Gemini RUINED & BROKE every single die and embossing folder I put through it! Replaced it with the Switch. Success!

Thick areas are mainly the needle, not the machine
