How To Thread a Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine (Getting To Know Your Featherweight, Part 4)

[@lulugraphics]

Again, superlative instructions, so clear and to the point, both the visual and verbal. Five stars! Thank you. *****

[@johnconsiglio7127]

As a dad of four girls I just have to say how proud your parents should be. That was one of the most succinct presentations I have ever seen on any subject.

[@johnraffensperger]

Suddenly, the machine works! Many thanks for the clear tutorial.

I inherited the Featherweight 221K in white from my grandmother and she taught me how to sew my halter tops back in the 70's. I didn't sew very much so I've forgotten everything she taught me. I came across your video and decided I wanted to see if I could learn how to sew again. Your videos are so helpful and I'm glad to find a company I can order things to get my machine in good working order again since it's been sitting in the case in my closet for many years.

Wish I was there to help you

I've been wanting to use my late mother's Singer featherweight but had no clue how to set it up. She taught me when I was a young girl but I didn't retain the information. Thanks to your video series, now I know how. Now I can honor my mother by carrying on the tradition of sewing. Thank you!

[@susanthomson8417]

Ruthie's videos are wonderful. Her directions are very clear and easy to follow. I love learning from her.

[@robertmacey6]

Ruthy I've looked all over the web to find a video to show me how to use my grandmothers ole sewing machine. YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST! Thanks

[@pilotnelson4507]

Excellent lighting and camera work!

[@jackiekraemer596]

[@HickoryBritches]

My mom just gave me her 221. I've been Away from sewing for years and haven't used a vintage machine like this. Your videos are well done and very detailed. Thank you.

[@4year4thyear]

A+ tutorial. Production quality, clarity, and pacing are all a cut above the rest

[@theclosetquilterelliemiria198]

GREAT JOB ! i just got a 221 and was so happy to find this video site :)

[@ncboot5014]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your excellent threading instruction!! My grandma taught me to sew on her featherweight, but it was destroyed in the house fire, but if I win the beautiful Featherweight you're giving away, I will now know how to thread it accurately!! Looking forward to all your videos on everything there is to know about these wonderful Featherweight machines... God Bless You!! :)

[@stephaniedaugherty704]

Carmon, great video, solved my bird nest problem. I had the A2 do-hicky out of the slot. Your videos are awesome.

[@lindalee5559]

Thank you for such a concise and clear tutorial-well done!

[@terriluff]

Great video! I have been sewing for over 20 years and still learned some new things. Thanks!!

[@dharry1215]

So happy to see this!!!! You did an awesome job explaining and demonstrating!!!!! I can't believe I have been threading incorrectly. It was never clear to me in the area of the wire take up into the fork area. I was basically threading the hard way! Thanks so much Ruthie!

[@zaxs90]

Excellent instruction video. Great camera views and superb narration. I wish all tutorials where this well done. I purchased a Featherweight at auction to sell on ebay, but first had to test the machine. Thanks for making it so easy!

[@dianecole4395]

This gal does the best video ever. My 8 yo grandson even understood and he wants to sew

Awesome video presentation for such a young presenter. Good job! 👏👏👩🏻‍🌾

[@camillezaug7636]

I should have watched this days ago! New to sewing and read the manual wrong.. Solved all my problems, thank you so much!

[@Shersheart]

Thank you! That was extremely helpful!!

[@Exhaustedmom313]

These videos are a godsend. I have my moms old machine and though I've watched her use it a thousand times I have NO IDEA how to use it.

[@sherrytolbird154]

Best video I’ve ever seen

[@Lightning_Bob]

Although I have a different model, this video is super helpful. Thank you for your making this.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

Great tutorial I guess I can be taught new tricks! 😆 🤣

[@patgentry7268]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much.

[@rebeccamayeux6909]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I had mine threaded incorrectly and wondered why it wouldn't sew.

[@DKPSKs]

[@jmf2674]

Thank you !!!😍👏👏 Success

[@lorikorstanje2964]

Great instructions

[@couloirman]

Awesome video. Would this tutorial be the same for a 201-2?

[@dp9863]

Thank you!

[@Marny5580]

Good video. Thank you. I *do* notice the machine needs a bit of lint/fuzz removal. ;-)

[@gingernotturno5365]

i love your videos but i can't find the next video on how to bring the thread up and start sewing how do i find it ?

[@Peppermint1]

I've heard the electric cable inside the machine degrades and touches the metal body. Always inspect these before plugging - electric shock hazard on the body itself

[@JessicaSaldanha]

YOU ARE AMAZING!! Congratsss!! From Brazil ;*

[@susanc.8009]

If you put just a little spit on your finger tip and apply it to the back side of the needle hole, the spit will pull the thread through.

[@overlycreative1]

Thank you for making this extremely well done and understandable video. I recently gave this same machine to my granddaughter and this video is very helpful. Sub'd 1393

[@crea8ivjr]

thank you i am teaching my self to sew and this help thank you where can i buy that thread riser from can u post a link ?

[@marydickerson1258]

What size of needle do you use for it

[@ellengurney5927]

I would love to see lesson #5 I have my mother’s old featherweight and started to try to sew a mask. I did not go well. I have caught a few things I did wrong watching 1-4 but I would like to watch capturing the bobbin thread

[@featherweightshop]

Stay tuned... Coming soon! ♥️

[@R13Ang]

Why what are all the screws for do they adjust the tension?

[@siamese35]

Does it matter when using a stacked spool if the thread comes from the rear or the front?

[@joeyoxborrow3501]

I was trying to figure out how to do some stuff to pants and the one part I needed is actually part five! Although I did get it in the case and my spool properly threaded so close

[@iamworkz9346]

How do I know if my sewing machine is a fake or if it’s any valuable

[@meganmcsperrin5961]

So what happened to video number 5

[@lillymcalister2225]

Done

[@lillymcalister2225]

[@lilybean9585]

Note to self get a thread stand
