I have one for 30 years just starting to use it now it the only one I like to use So simple and easy to use And tough

Did I miss what number the Kenmore is? 158......

so helpful thank you. i am going to try this on my vintage book press which has a very similar finish

Great video.i have one of these machines but not sure model or year or where it was made . I had it given to me .if i send u model number can you tell me what i have ..? I want to sewing vinyl with it to re upholster my hometheater seats…

I just bought a Bernina 117 at a trift shop for 30 euro. Seems to be working just fine. I never heard about Bernina, and neither did my mother who used to run a sewing atelier back in the 90s, but after doing some research I'm glad that it didn't scare me away 😂 The marking on the chassis is plain 117, no K or L. It has no motor, manual operation only. Came in a nice cabinet with a bunch of accessories. I wonder if it can stich thick leather? There is no motor anyway, and the mechanics seems to be heavy duty, so it should be okay?

Beautiful !! , gotta ❤ it 😊

They make wonderful Christmas 🎄 gift for the fashionistic sewist 🧵🪡 ❤

I always use Schmetz leather needles pacifically made for leather

I'm earnestly seeking your here-mentioned part two in getting a sewing machine and its table into a car. Cant find it in the video list! Id be grateful if someone could tell me if you've seen it.

Sewing machines are similar to cars & boats ❤😊

One time , some time ago back i bough a cheap new Brother sewing machine , i got it home set it up & it started smoking , i had return it to the store & it was all plastic , these vintage sewing machines are great beauties & a whole different ball field , i tell ya , i sure dont have much trouble out of them what so ever , i got me a very nice vintage White 977 pacifically made for denim , which i am a big fan of , corduroy , twills , gabardines as well , but more of a denim person , if you are a sewer & then decide to stop 🛑 , you will die , can't ever stop 🛑😊

What a fabulous sewing machine here 😊

This one goes back to my time ❤😊

The universal size you show are not long enough to make a stitch on my white vs3. What else can i use?

How can one tell if the machine was made in US or Britain? Thanks, Ronn

I have a 1937 Featherweight. There is a site on line where you can look up the year by referencing your serial number. Ronn

I was setting up a machine for someone who sewed light weight silk. As a test I was attempting to sew thin, single layer, silk. I found that one needle would not perform while a different brand was successful. Although I couldn't see a difference between the two. Ronn

I run a fleet of Consew 206RB-5s at work. I'm looking at one of these as a home workshop, goof-around machine. Just can't take my girlfriend's plastic thing seriously. I'm worried I won't get along with it without the knee lift and ability to go full speed in reverse.

Thank you so much your tutorial is very useful. I followed your teaching to fix my sewing machine today.

I would greatly appreciate if you could explain the little red plastic piece on the shuttle. I have a Baycrest Model 501 with the exact same piece and the manual refers to it as a "shuttle thread ejector" which "prevents jamming of the shuttle". The little notch on the metal shuttle on which the red plastic piece fits seems unique too. This Janome is the first machine I have seen with that same part. Note identical machines to the Baycrest I have went by other brand names: Imperial, International and St. James are three others that I have found.

Where are you located? Mine needs service and bobbins. Also missing some of my attachments. Still in original cabinet

Do you have bobbins for this machine? I only have one as I lost my bobbins and a couple of the original attachments.

Mine is a Sears Kenmore but I also had the white by Sears

I still have that exact machine.

I was lucky to get an old neat & clean vintage sewing machine for pennies ❤😊

Great video! have just had this model machine repaired and serviced in UK. It was my mum’s and I learnt to sew in it when I was 10. It’s wonderful! I was curious in the manual it shows a dial with numbers on the top directly above the foot, but mine has the silver knob on the top like yours. Can you advise what this is and how to use it? I’m worried I turned it and I shouldn’t have touched it. Thank you! Genine

Can you tell me how to drop the pressure foot. I cannot figure it out. I have this same machine.

Yuck !! 😝

Thank you , you have given me very good info on this video, learn a lot ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

I have a Singer 301A, that I’m trying to find what ruffler will fit it. I pulled four different ruffles out yesterday and none of them seemed to fit on there. Do you have a specific part number for the correct ruffler for a slant machine?

Whats it for

I just bought a sewing machine this exact one but I need to know how to thread the bobbin an how to thread the spool

I have a vintage Kenmore from the 1970s. I sewed on it yesterday morning and it worked beautifully. Suddenly it stopped sewing forward. It sews backward just fine but when i try to sew forward it looks like the feed dogs move one stitch forward and one stitch back causing it to sew in place. What can i do to fix that? I feel like it's something simple.

I love this! Thank you!

i have that rheostat foot pedal but its missing the first wire coil and the pedal jumps from off to high speed. is it possible to replace the coil? the pedal looks like its in good condition otherwise. the missing coil is not inside the pedal, it must have fallen out or someone might have removed it.

I hope you see this in December 2024 lol. I just bought this machine. But it didn’t have any extras, just the foot it came with. I was hoping in the video you would talk about whether or not this model makes buttonholes. I think it was supposed to come with a buttonholer attachment made of plastic with templates, so I’d like to find that. I saw another video that talked about a buttonholer that was made of two metal plates, plus metal templates that the KZbinr liked better. Do you know that buttonholer and if it works on this? Also, I’d like to buy some feet, e.g. … Walking foot, Quilters 1/4” foot, Stitch in the Ditch foot, Zipper Foot. Know where I can buy those? I hope you see this. I’ll copy/paste this to see if I can find your email or a more recent video of yours. I hope. Thanks so much for the great video:)

Does the machine take oil? I just found a Fleetwood Deluxe 656B, and I dont know where the oil goes. I just ordered an owners manual on Ebay but any help would be appreciated.

I have a sewing table (sears 566) that at one time held a Janome 393. I’m not sure how though? The cabinet and machine had been separated and now I have both and would like to put the machine back in. However there are no hinge pins, never have been. There is no sign of where they would be either so I’m assuming it was not made with them. I can not find the cabinet anywhere online so I have zero reference. Please advise as to a direction I should go :(

I just found one on the side of the road on big trash day. Changed the belt and it works. I need to restore the cabinet and really clean and service the machine. Any pointers I can get? I have some projects and need to learn to sew now.

Side plate looks like a bamboo stalk and leaf pattern to me.

My checkspring is missing on the White 3355 model. It always worked without. Is there a comparison today that will work?

I just bought a 201K-3 a week ago from an online auction that no one seemed to want. I paid $11 plus tax and fees so $14.61 total. It came with a box of accessories including a bunch of hemmers and feet and buttonholer, even a Singer screwdriver. It was filthy, covered in old oil and lint. I used an automotive polish/wax which makes it gleam and I did a thorough cleaning and oiling and it just hums, such a beautiful macine. The decals are perfect and no needle rash. Dropped in a bobbin and thread and it sews perfectly. I am giving it to my daughter for Christmas

My father used a Singer for Upholstery in the 60's not sure what model it is im trying to learn how to use it he has been gone for several years and unfortunately upon building Classic/Street Rod / Hot Rod
