Thank you so much! Your video is amazing. So helpful.

Is there a way to send you a message about my machine’s problems? I’m happy to pay.

These videos are so helpful and informative, thanks a lot! I just got my grandmothers old Singer 764, and I'm wondering if it can deal with sewing in leather (like a jacket, not the thickness used for furniture etc). Do you think it can be harmful to the machine to try it out?

I just bought one of these used. I have no book or cord. I don't know why but the cam appears stuck.

Gracias excelente video 🙏🏻

Thanks

Could you, by chance, please tell me the bobbin number for the Elna Supermatic? I have been told by different people that the bobbin number is 426000. The problem that I keep running into is that not only does it NOT fit on my bobbin winder (the one on the machine) but it is a bobbin with a solid bottom. Even my manual shows using a bobbin with holes on the top AND the bottom.

Thank you for quality videos. How do we “ contribute “ as a patron? TIA @ InStitches

I think so highly that you sew.It's so interesting to watch sewing mechanics who do not sew. They can't efficiently thread the machine. I just learned about ply shift. And, I sew. :-)

Hi Gary, I enjoy your channel, it's definitely one of the best out there, and I appreciate the content. Do you know where I can source grease wicks for old Singer motors in New Zealand?

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks, I was wondering how to use mine. :)

Excellent video, clear instructions. We managed to repair the zigzag of our machine thanks to you (it was the lever not engaging properly; a few drops of oil were all that was needed). Would you happen to know the solution for a machine that doesn't release the needle mechanism when coiling yarn onto the bobbin?

I followed your directions and took spring,etc. off, but the thing you were pushing back and forth isn't moving at all. Could the problem be someplace else.

Thank you! You really helped me get my bobbin case back into the machine 😂

Thank you!!!!

This is really flash back to when my mum was living and using it having bought it in the 50th. It weight a ton. Very little was made of plastic. It lasted until the 80th She used it very much. But later on it got worn out and if it was running out of fabric at the sewing end the the thread got totally jammed.

Hi there how do you connect the bobbin thread to the top thread?

Hi there can you please explain how to thread the machine and connect the bobbin thread to the to the top thread?🙏🏾

Thank you so much for this video. I purchased this machine and it didn’t have a manual. I’ve since found a manual online but finding your tutorial was a godsend. Thank you!!

That was a lot of fun! I don't have nearly as much experience with different brands of older machines, so I learn a lot from videos like this. We recently moved, but where I lived previously, one of the thrift stores had a section for boxes of sewing machine accessories and three drawers of machine parts and feet in addition to a big container of bobbins. I always had so much fun looking through them. My most fun find was an eyelet plate for my Supermatic; it really does make nice eyelets. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much. I am new to serging and was pulling my hair out. My problem was solved after watching your video

Can you find a Singer Rocketeer 500 or 503 for cleaning and setting up?

A little bit of cleaning in the most critical areas is good

My Singer “Genie” 354 purchased 1974 in Toronto Canada has the salmon colour labeling unlike the USA model which has Red Label. But I dont have the Starlet name it has the “Genie” name. Plus I have 4 choices in Pattern Selection, and 6 choices in Stitch Width.

Very informative video. I was given an air electronic SU could you please show me how to work one as I don’t have the instruction manual. Thank you

Hello I have found your instructional videos extremely helpful. ( Especially Molly's input Haha). I have been sewing on my Elna Air Eltronic SU for the last 30 years without any concerns.However I have noticed recently that the side panel with the hand reel is starting to separate from the machine body and now there is a small gap.The machine is still sewing great, but I took ti to a Brisbane service person to get it checked out and serviced.I was advised that it is non reparable as there must be a connection part broken that is now not available.Do you have any advice that may help save my dear old machine?

I have a problem with the dog feed. Don’t know how to fix it. Can you help me? The machine I have is exactly this one.

Thank you for this ❤😊

Thank you I just made buttonholes! Great video and have saved for future use too

Thank you so much!! Great video.

Thank I was almost buying one 😅

Where can I buy "feet" for my machine and needles. It Iis the same as this one. Also needles and a book with info.😊

love Typical. I love to buy a Typical but 341 serie.

Hello dear, Can you pls help with how to remove the sewing needle accidentally fell needle in the shuttle.

Thank you - that was very interesting - I love knowing what is inside of things and it is not so intimidating to fix (if it breaks)!

wonderful I learnt heaps!!!

Hi, I need help please I bought my machine second hand it was not plugged in & I did a stupid thing & not tested it I know!!!! (already had verbal bashing from hubby). Too far to just pop back😢 The manual he gave me doesn't have the PSM or the trouble shooting pages😢 I could scream for being so stupid😫 I now cannot stop bunching up threads under fabric😢 The back tack is an issue also it breaks the thread. It's just snapped a needle Please help it was not a cheap purchase & feeling foolish as may have to spend more for an engineer to sort hope to God not....as hubby will go crazy 😭 Zote ZJ0303L-3-BD/01 model Extremely greatful for any help.

Thank you so much, it helped me a lot, greetings from Chile

I saw this machine online for sail so a was google the machine. And saw your video thank you 😊 I was looking for a machine for demon fabric . Sorry if my Englisch is not so good I'm from the netherlands. But do you know if he do a good job with thick fabric?

At 34:15 - it's a guide/accessory for sewing circles... And my one is missing that white 'knob' at the curved end. I do hope the thrift shop has a web site! :-)

I am currently trying to replace the gears on my singer 750. When I called a repair shop, they said it wasn't worth it, as the after market gears don't line up or last more than a year. Do you find this to be true? Do you recommend purchasing gears from a specific place, or a specific kind? Thanks for any help.

Sadly for me, I haven’t found much worthy sewing bits and bobs at any of my local op shops for a long time, other than zips and old thread. Also sadly, I’m in the wrong island! (Auckland) I wonder if that op shop has a website? 😊

The curved needle looks like the one from my Hague knitting linker

A bone awl at 23:40. The Pfaff tray looks just like one on my Pfaff 1471.

👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

Is the light mechanism part available? My Nova's light isn't working

literally the perfect video thank you so much king

Thank you so much for this great video! I just acquired a badged Seidel and Naumann handcrank that was sold in Russia. This is so helpful as I have found very little on the machine online.

Hi. I haw a problem with my Bernina e80e. Its no slow speed. What can I do?
