Thank you. Those of if who watch a tutorial have not sewn before, or gotten a used machine with no instructions. I’m the latter. The camera work was perfect and you talked slow enough so that each instruction registered in the brain before you went to the next knob or dial. Most of the videos never explained what and where the the little black levers should be.

[@ReadingRainbowHair]

I have this machine and have been using it for over a year and learned so many little things about it I didn't know from this video! 😅

[@paularobles5441]

Thank you SO much! I messed up the tension on my mum's machine and she was SO MAD at me because it's not the first time, but that trick of the 5 stitches fixed it right up! I can now hem my skirts the way my mum hates it 😂

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Awesome, Thank you for watching the video. I am always trying to help people. Lot's of my customers really appreciate having a sewing machine working like brand new machines.

Its been in its case since new. After seeing your video I'm interested in doing the Cleaning & Oiling you refering to before she attempts using it for some curtains she wants to attempt.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Well, I am starting to do this in my membership. When this one comes back in for the annual cleaning. I will put in my sewing machine issues playlist.

She knows about SEVERAL Brands ! Me 😱🤯😭😫😩😳🥶 2 metal Thread guides are GONE ! But underneath Fabric THREAD IS ALL JUMBLED UP !

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Give it a good cleaning and oil and grease it. Do you have the plug and pedal?

[@patlee7949]

I have this machine and I have bobbin issues. Bobbin case kind of loose.i was hoping you would show maintenance on it

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

I wish I could, but I don't own this Sewing machine. I work on sewing machines for my customers. After I make them a video the sewing machine go back with them.

[@pc397]

Thank you for this video, I have this sewing machine, it belonged to my mom. I cannot get it to form stitches, it looks like it is sewing but when I look closer at the stitch it’s just a line of thread being held down by loops of thread, Do you have any idea as to what I’m doing wrong?

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

There can be a lot of Things going wrong. 1st. clean the sewing machine bobbin and Feeddogs area, 2nd. check the needle for spurs, best thing make sure you have the needle is put in correctly, 3rd. Make sure you are Threading it correctly Feeddogs up and needle in the highest position. 4th. Make sure you reset the Tention. Try all this first. Then let me know if you get it to sew correctly.

[@YusukeEugeneUrameshi]

What exact of needle I should buy? I broke the needle and I can't read the embossed number in the needle. Please reply asap. Thanks

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

You have to buy Singer needles the 2245 or 2200 Singer needles for the sewing machines.

[@YusukeEugeneUrameshi]

@@JacquelineJaroffaith thanks a lot for the help. But may I know the difference of those numbers? I usually stitch duchess, tulle fabrics.

[@CarmenRodriguez-bz4qb]

I have the same machine I have problem what number I need to put for tension And what number I need to put for stitches 🧵because goes backwards

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Sounds like it has a broken Gear on the bottom. I have a sewing machine here that needs a bottom gear. Most Sewing Machine made 1980's and up gears are made in plastic.

[@MaryJohnson-jv8bh]

i cannot get the feed dogs to work they dont have a button to move them up or down l finnily got them up but they will not move to sew material can you help me

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Check the gears if you are missing teeth in a gear then it's broken. If the look good need to add sewing machine grease in the gears. Give a good cleaning will help too.

[@deedavidson8806]

Just a quick question on the top of the machine to the right of where you wind the bobbin mine is missing where can I get that little part I have a singer Merit 4525 it looks kind of like a little lever

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Can you contact me at my Page on Facebook I may have a part. Sewing Machine ReCare 😊

[@car5559]

Does this model sewing machine have an overlock feature?

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

After you straight stitch you can use a zigzag the 4th one over as an overlock stitch. If you have manual there should be instructions on how to set it up. Back in the day when most Sewing Machine didn't have all those stitches people would use a straight stitch first then a zigzag as an overlocking stitch.

[@jamiesoninteriors]

Where do you oil this machine? I don't have a manual and am helping to oil a friend's machine like this.

Hello jamiesoninteriors, i have the same question "how to oil singer Merritt 4538 sewing machine"? I have the original manual but the manual is generic, which does not show the details. I opened the outer cover. Now i see a metal cover with screws attached to it but the screws are so tight that even WD40 will not loosen it up. Without opening this inner metal cover, there is no way to oil this machine. If the creator of this video can show how to open the inner metal case, then i would be so obliged and thankful to her

[@fishwhistler7224]

Hi What a great vid .. just bought one .. just to make socks for my fish tank .. :) Do you have a vid on the bobbin stuff ?… haven't got a clue … Stay safe

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Which bobbin do you have in your sewing machine do you have top loader or a bottom loader.

[@fishwhistler7224]

@@JacquelineJaroffaith the top loader

[@KathleenElle]

Hi, I just got gifted one of these to help make cloth masks for donations to healthcare workers. I cleaned it out and oiled it. Had a lot of trouble inserting the needle. The screw wouldn't grab it. Had to get a screw driver and screw it hard. After sewing a bunch of masks, needle has fallen out and again I can't get the screw to grab it tight enough to keep it in. Suggestions on what is wrong. It did sew a LOT of masks before falling out.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Maybe you are using the wrong needles.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Singer Sewing Machines can only use Singer needles.

[@KathleenElle]

@@JacquelineJaroffaith It's a package of Singer brand size 14/90 needles. I took the needle clamp off and examined the inside. The only thing holding that needle in is the screw. Other than that it's a wide open shaft. Could there be a missing part? I finally got it to hold by adjusting the tiny screw holding the thread guide loop in (another video's suggestion) and even THEN I had to tighten the screw with a wrench WAY harder than I should have. The Singer needles were an old package from my mom, so probably about same age as machine.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Make sure the flat part of the needle is resting against the flat part of the Sewing machine.

[@KathleenElle]

@@JacquelineJaroffaith I did. Only way it fits is if I put a tiny piece of painters tape on the flat side of the needle. I've tried everything. I checked the manual and the needle is in correctly with the flat side back. I've tried multiple packages of Singer brand needles. My workaround is a piece of tape.

[@alejandrohernandez-ny9vq]

My grandma gave me this machine! Can you let me know how to lock stitch or reverse stitch with this machine?

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

I wish I could, but this Sewing machine went back to my customer. I can't show you anything more about this sewing machine.

[@myrnaweinman1695]

Reverse stitch with tThis machine by pressing the center of the knob in the front while the machine is running.

[@debraphelan7492]

How do you oil? I took the part off to expose light area. But it has another piece attached that blocks getting to the moving parts. I looked up the manual. It is no help. TY

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

You need a service manual you can get it through the company that makes the sewing machine.

[@jessicalawson2482]

I need help! I have searched everywhere for how to reassemble the tensioner on this machine that I’ve had since I was a kid. I need to know how to mount the plastic pieces , main spring, and outside plastic knob with numbers. Can you possibly help me? I would be so grateful.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

You need to find another Sewing machine just like it and transfer the part you are looking for. Because they don't make this part anymore. I had to do this with a kenmore sewing machine for a lady. I will go look tomorrow to see if I have anymore. But not likely because I sell parts so quickly.

[@libbykahat8429]

@@JacquelineJaroffaith Hello! I have this machine and the tension also needs fixing on mine. I think I have all the parts (I've been using this machine forever), but now the tension knob isn't changing the tension. Can you help?

[@rhondaharwood84]

How old is this machine? I just got one. Same model.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

1987

[@outoftheforest7652]

its really weird.. I have that same machine I bought back in the 1980s. It was my 2nd machine.I am kicking myself, however, as I had an older vintage machine that came with a table, but me being frugal and sensible traded that one in for this model.. I should have KEPT the table model!!. I don;'t know what model that one was.. but it would have been a nice addition. I do like my Merrit and it has served me well. The only thing WRONG with it is that it is YELLOW.. The Plastic is now this dingy yellow and I am trying to figure out the best way to bleach it cause it just looks gross.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Yes, it's the sun and air quality that turns them yellow. My grandma use to say, was if your not using it cover it. Keeps it looking like it's brand new. I think 🤔 the plastic just gets old causes it to change.

[@outoftheforest7652]

@@JacquelineJaroffaith I should get a cover for it. I think there is a way to bleach it a bit using hydrogen peroxide so I may use that

Como puedo cambiar el tensor de esta maquina

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

When you are sewing on your sewing machine leave the foot down on your fabric, needle in the highest position, then move your tension. Then sew if the fabric is sewing properly. Make sure you have the right needle on your the right fabric. I hope I answered your question. Have a Blessed Day.

[@lucymireles234]

Muchas gracias por su atención ❤

[@katieford3668]

can anybody tell me how to change the foot on this machine?

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Well, there is a screw at the foot you will need a screwdriver 🪛 to release the foot. Some have a little button behind the foot just push in.
