Collaborating with a Patreon Supporter to adjust a Singer 533

[@melaniiecampbell1527]

Hi Wes, I had cleaned out all the stuff already in the area where you put the washer. There was a bunch of debris and lint in that area. I did not know I was looking for a broken washer and didn't even know there was supposed to be a washer. The stuff in there did not even look like a washer. It must have completely disintegrated in to ashy looking dirt. Thanks for helping me out with this issue. And the timing of the zig zig is also something that I learned about. This was a most helpful video. Thank you for doing it!

No problem! Glad to help!

[@rhondamercado7527]

Melaniie, do you have the dimension or resource for the washer. I thought he had a video too where he replaced it but I can’t find it. Looking for a washer for about a week now but can’t put my hands on it. I have a stylist 834

I found one of these (well, actually the 534) on the Goodwill auction site for $7 !!! I wanted something REALLY cheap but in reasonable condition so I can take it apart- I am a new sewist and I have become obsessively fascinated with the workings of sewing machines!!🤷🏽‍♀️😂 I haven’t won the auction yet (it’s over in a few hours) but the description said the machine turns on & the needle moves. So I figure that if I can get it cleaned up and make it sew, that will be amazing- but if not, I can still tinker around with it and learn a few things by dissecting it. Win/win!!!😃 This video was VERY helpful in so many ways…. THANK YOU! 💐

Thank you for your kind words

[@dlbraly]

Thanks for sharing, I'm working on one as well. Looking at the parts list there are 2 washers. That one and one all the way to the left against the counter weight of the shaft.

I have been having this EXACT problem on my Brother. So glad I found this video!

[@karenralcewicz8174]

Mine looks very much like this one. Fixing this for a student. Found out I’m missing a part. Singer 438. The set screw or bolt that holds the needle bar to the movement bar.

[@nazfaran]

Hi. I have a Singer 5050. How do i remove the sliding cover plate to access bobbin case to adjust tension?

[@karimarias]

Hi, thanks for the video. I hope you could help me, please. I have a Universal brand machine, model UN-25, the thing is the needle in not centered when straight stitch is selected, but moves to the left. Is it normal or it has to be aligned? Thank you very much!

[@annamaxflair]

very useful video , thankyou

[@rhondamercado7527]

I have a Singer Stylist 834 and when I’m using the flexistitch red patterns machine just goes in reverse. Any idea where I need to start looking for the problem. Thanks.

[@barbarajester7902]

What size washer did you buy and is there a name for them

[@rhondamercado7527]

Where on earth did you get all of those washers? One of the Sewing stores online is asking seven dollars including shipping for one washer.

[@eibes]

My Mom had this one and now it's mine and it never worked correctly. I always heard her bitching about it even after being serviced by a Singer agent. The machine was stored and the plastic gears under the machine disintegrated by themselves . I bought the service manual, watched a lot a videos, changed the broken gears, spent hours trying to make it work, but the thread is still breaking each time I reverse to lock the stitch.

[@ronalddevine9587]

It seems like there's a lot of metal inside this machine. From what I could see, the gears are metal. What a waste that they put a plastic washer in it. How much more would a metal washer cost? Singer deserves their fate.

[@rhondamercado7527]

If anybody reading these comments can tell me where to find the washers or what size they are. I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks.

[@SuzanneYoung-r1e]

stop this video at 7:54. It's at that point, the repair guy has the washer purchasing info.

[@SuzanneYoung-r1e]

on the screen. oops! At the 7:54 mark, the repair guy has the purchasing info for the washers on the screen.
