Brother Boutique 761 Made In Japan, Vintage Sewing Machine Preview Maintenance & Sewing

[@rachelbean6554]

I have this machine. It was gifted to me by my mother in law. She received it as a graduation gift from her parents. She was born in 1954. Mine is in the original carrying case with all original paperwork including the warranty and service information. I find it crazy that if this machine was made in the 60's, they sold it with the same service center list that was printed in 1902. So 58 years later the service center list wouldn't need to be updated? Just seems odd! It is a mystery machine. Lol

Hello my friend, thank you so much for your wonderful comment and important information it's my pleasure to read your interesting message, and it's very good to know that, I searched on Google but unfortunately I couldn't find any useful information about this machine however ti found a website says this machine made in late 1940s but I had received many messages from KZbin viewers telling me it can't be made in 40s and other told me made in 60s and do on , it's really a mystery sewing machine!!!thank you again and all the best 🙏

Hello. I have a very similar machine, Brother, Pacesetter 725. Mine is a later model of the above. My parents bought it for my dowry in 1990. Before that my Mum had the same machine probably a few years older which she must have bought in the 1980's. Both machines were bought from Saudi Arabia. I have found an excellent machine technician (in Lahore, Pakistan) who has helped me with the maintenance of the machine in the last few years. It is an absolute workhorse indeed. I have all the parts and presser feet of the machine that came with it. I love this machine for its historical, emotional and functional reasons.

Hello my friend , thank you so much for excellent information and very interesting story, I sold mine because I buy and sell , thank you again and all the best

[@amargo9748]

Thank you, I inherited one and my X left it through a divorce. It is another power tool in my arsenal LOL Operating it, is another talent I'm learning.

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Hi dear, yes of course it's really a good tool, I wish the best and healthy happy life, thank you so much, best regards ✨️ 😊

[@irenearmstrong8851]

My grandmother bought this for me as a gift when I found out I was pregnant. That was in 1974. As it turned out it was a great gift, as she taught me how to sew and I ended up having twin daughters. My husband was in the Service so things were tight back then and I made most of my girls' clothes. I still have the machine but need to have it cleaned up and maintenance done since I have not used it in over 20 years. It is still in the table that she bought with it back in 74. Had the book too but had a flood ruin it back in 2007. Cannot find another one anywhere!

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Good Day my Friend, I am so hladcto read your wonderful comment, it's really interesting story, it was beautiful gift amd it's amazing you kept it since 1974 that's about 50 years ago, unfortunately it's not easy to find parts anymore, however sometimes you can find the same machine for sale on eBay or other websites, many many thanks and appreciation and all the best, thank you so much 💓 😊.

I have a machine exactly like that, but the plastic case is a bit different. I bought it in 1976.

Hello my dear friend, very interesting, I didn't know this machine made in 1976, I still love old sewing machines, thank you so much 😊 and all the best 👍 😀

[@thewife7776]

I have a model 411 from the mid 1960’s. Trust that this one is very late 1960’s but as others have mentioned, likely early 1970’s. Shame Brother do not keep their history like other manufacturers.

I just bought this modal it's from the 1960's and very fiddly to thread but I'm new to it.

Yes it's not easy to thread it or use it because it's old but once you find out little tricks here and there it will be easy especially if you use it more you get use to it easy, thank you and all the best 👌 👍

[@jerricardinal9601]

I have this machine but it only sews backwards (as though I'm pushing reverse). Could it be stuck in reverse?

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Hello my friend, Yes that cause should be easy fix Simply the reverse bottom IA either stuck or losed, You need to open the machine to be able to fix it, Thank you 😊 All the best 👍

[@8squishyfishy8]

Mine had this problem after sitting for a long time. a sewing shop fixed it for me

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Hello my friend, all sewing machines need to ve lubricant oil and service especially if they set long time no use, thank you and all the best

[@stephanblack4558]

If you get an old machine always put a new needle in and re-threat all bobins. thank you.

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Yes, that's obviously right, new needle especially a good one huge different and easy for saving, thank you so much and all the best

[@stephanblack4558]

can you use any oil to lube it?

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Yes you can, but here's the trick, some oil such as car engine oil or non smooth oil or thick oil can slow down the sewing machine, so using the right oil it's very recommended it makes the machine runs smoothly and fast. Thank you so much and all the best

[@rosannadeleon2652]

Mine is pacesetter 6000 what year is it

[@WorldRandomVideos]

I couldn't find good information about those type of sewing machines and what year they were made, I searched online and some viewers said early 70s however I found some websites said in mid 50S , and even user manual doesn't say what year, just made in Japan no date, thank you and all the best 👍

I am not able to release the knob of machine I have this same machine Knob got jammed or so Its fixed Is there anyway to release it ?

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Hello my friend, Try the following steps: 1- check if there's any object or pieces of fabric or threads stuck inside the bobbin area 2- theck all mechanical movements if there's any twisted or losed parts 3- try to use dw40 it may help to release any jammed parts Hope this will help you to figure out the problem, Thank you and all the best 👌 👍

[@hafsawaraich8317]

Ok its the handwheel which is jammed , not able to release it yet , no thread or clothes are in it

[@WorldRandomVideos]

I will let know soon about how to release it

[@hafsawaraich8317]

@@WorldRandomVideos thanks

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Good Day my friend, I am sorry took long time to get back to you I was very busy, here are the solutions: Tgere are several reasons If sewing machine knob stuck handwheel Handwheel does not turn or is tight The handwheel on the machine should turn freely. By forcing the hand wheel to turn, you could do further damage to your machine. 1. Try to turn the handwheel toward the back of the machine to free up the locked handwheel. 2. Check to make sure that the upper thread is not tangled up. - Re-thread the machine and check if that frees up the handwheel. 3. Turn the machine off and unplug it - Take the needle plate off the machine and remove the bobbin case. - Check to see if the handwheel turns freely. - If Yes, re-install the bobbin case and needle plate using the steps in the manual and go to Step 4. - If No, continue to the next step. - Confirm that there is no thread jam in the hook area. - Clean any debris that is in the hook area. - Turn the machine back on. 4. Turn the handwheel toward you once again to see if it is locked. note icon Sometimes the bobbin case can be out of place and will not allow the handwheel to turn. If you broke a needle and it fell into the shuttle area, it can also cause the handwheel to jam up. 5. If the issue persists, your machine will require servicing. Try the following steps

How much is that machine? Thanks

[@WorldRandomVideos]

[@stephanblack4558]

I got mine for $40 set in the original table but I don't know how to work it. there on ebay for $300.

You got it very good price, try to search online or on KZbin you may find helpful information, thank you so much and all the best 👌

[@autoliv4]

Have a brother festival machine tmachine the feed dogs don't work how do I fix that?

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Maybe it was stuck in reverse because the mechanism(s) were all gunked up. Take off the accessory box on the machine and the bottom plate. move the mechanism so they move freely and take out any gunk you see. The feeder dogs should now move back & forth in addition to up & down, feeding the material properly

[@WorldRandomVideos]

It probably needs gears replaced or has a loose gear. Unfortunately you need to take it in to a repair shop. (I am assuming that you are not in button hole or have the stitch length set to zero) remove the cover and rotate the machine to see if the feed dog stuck or what causing the problem, it must be on right place at the movement gear, all the best 👌

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Sometimes all you need little bit oil or use dw40 it may solve the problem 😉

[@RenuSandhu-s8i]

Hi

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Hello my friend

[@Dany94086]

Sir, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but after the war zigzag machines did not exist, they began to be introduced in the 60s and if you look closely at this machine, even a blind person would see that it is much more current. Also look at the manual, the manual is practically in color, this type of manual began after the 70s, the previous ones were precarious instructions in black and white drawings because there was nothing in color, neither photographs nor television, you want to be sure that what I say is true??? just open and check inside I'm sure you will find plastic parts and this will confirm undeniably that it was made after the 70s.

[@WorldRandomVideos]

Good Day, thank you so, very helpful information simple and clear enough to tell this machine made after 1970, many many thanks and appreciation 😀 and all the best 👌 👍.

[@Dany94086]

​@@WorldRandomVideos Yeah it was in the late 60s and early 70s when manufacturers began to introduce nylon or plastic parts into sewing machines, they did it to cut costs. But your machine does not have to be a lemon, if everything works well and it has no broken parts and you clean and service your machine, you will have it for many years! Also if your machine was made in Japan it's still a good machine, enjoy it and good luck! 👌👌❤Excuse my writing. English is not my first language.

Cool, I have just changed the title since I am not sure how old is it, and there's no correct information about what year this mechine was made, it could be early 1970s, unfortunately it doesn't say year even in manual instruction also, thank you again 😊
