Hi there and thanks for making this video. I dug a bit and found that there are two felt bushings up top, and two below in the drive linkage that need to also be maintained. Also there are multiple pivot points above the needle that need oil also. Pretty much everywhere moving parts touch. Just wanted to make sure that you don't wear out points of your machine not knowing that there was a way to preserve them. Thanks a bunch for making videos for all of us!!! My best, -Nigel

Thanks to you Nigel, for this insightful and helpful comment. Removing the bottom plaastic areas (just about 8 screws) reveals the areas that are greased, need to be greased, and the two felt bushings that you refer to. Honestly, you should do a video of it and monetize it. Very helpful. Though my machine is NEW, I oiled it up properly and she's now 80% quieter to my surprise. One thing: there is a plastic cam/ gear combo on the right back top of the machine that works with the feed dogs. This looks like it needs maintenance. But that will require removing the whole top casing I think. Another day......

Yes! You can and should also oil the needle bar. You have to remove the upper cover from the side. (Screw is near the thread cutter.) then add a few drops the the solid bar that runs vertically. It should help!

You might be able to get the bobbin housing out without removing the arm. I have a few of these machines but can't seem to get any of them to let it loose without unscrewing the guide arm. If you still can't, I would just continue to gently try and get them worked loose so you can get in there.

@sewingwithstacy2 жыл бұрын
The plastic that the machine is made of has a bit of a 'clip' if you will to it. So once it's unscrewed, it doesn't just come off, you do need a small amount of force to pull it off.

Hey there! I've been told not to use a medal bobbin? What kind are you using ? I have the exact same machine!
@sewingwithstacy Жыл бұрын
Most manufacturers will say not to because the bobbin housing is plastic and any metal burs or imperfections can/could damage the bobbin housing. I have found that if you just buy good metal bobbins, that shouldn't be the case. Also, if you start using metal, you should only use metal. You should not go back and fourth between plastic and metal.
@nuarootham12612 жыл бұрын
What model of the Singer sewing machine are you using? I noticed you use metal bobbins with that. How come Singer advised me to only use plastic class 15 bobbins and not metal.
@sewingwithstacy2 жыл бұрын
Singer 4452. I only use metal. Once your bobbin housing becomes accustomed to the shape of your bobbins, you cannot switch. More on the great bobbin debate later.

@SewingWithStacey Hi. So, I'm hoping I can get an opinion on something... I have a store bought weighted blanket with the the little glass beads inside. I'm wondering if you think it would be a bad idea to sew through it. Idk if it would damage my sewing machine if the needle came straight down on any of the little beads. It's pretty much brand new, and I hated the thought of throwing it away. I've been trying to find someone to take the thing, but nobody wants it. Probably about the 25th time moving the thing from one spot to another, I started thinking maybe I could make a few door sweep, draft blocker dealies out of it. But now I'm just sitting here staring at it, worried it might jam my machine. Idk... Just hoping I can get an opinion or two before I have at it. Thanks in advance
@sewingwithstacy Жыл бұрын
Hey, great question. So I make a lot of heated corn bags. What I usually have to do is make small compartments and pin back the corn to make sure I don’t hit any kernels with the needle. For your project, I would not advise putting that through the machine unless you can safely clear away all the glass beads in are for sure only sewing through fabric. If the needle comes down on one of those glass beads, it could shatter the needle or worse.
