Just ordered the tool yesterday! The folks at the Featherweight shop are amazing 🤩

[@kelleyamador8838]

That is the best lesson on a mechanical machine I have ever heard!

[@Poshfrocknfluffyslip]

That machine is the one my mother used: she was a dressmaker all her life, having left school at 14 and joined a firm in London. My childhood was spent listening to that machine whirring away. I’d love to own one now, but they go for very silly money these days!

Great info Laura thank you!!

[@doreensherk287]

❤Thanks Laura, that is great info on Featherweights. I sure hope I do not ever get a jam. I think I would have to take my “Little Girl”, into the shop. I also didn’t know about the plate and the notch. You are so knowledgeable about these sweet machines. Your machine looks so shiny and no scratches, mine has lots of wear on it, but that is ok, past history.

So nice to see you do a video on these excellent machines. I love mine

[@cr2884]

What a great video. I appreciate you keeping us educated. I never knew this tool was available. I appreciate you telling us what we do to cause this problem in the first place. I have yet to have one but watch in a few weeks I will. Same as when I watched a Bernina Jeff video. I paid attention. And then 2 weeks later, yup, it happened to me.

[@gracepatane9384]

Great information! 👏👏👏👏👏

Hi I have all of the tools you mentioned. I use the featherweight online store. But I never knew what that silver tool was or the reason why I have so many thread jams thanks so much for this video!!😊

[@mariefrance8132]

I love my two Featherweights and do exactly what you tell us to do .. always move the wheel towards you … oh, and one thing .. when you were showing us the bobbin case, I could see some lint on the top right side of your bobbin case .. that can also cause a jam when sewing …

[@margaretflagor8988]

i have an original " instruction for using portable electric sewing machine 221-1" model. if you would like to have it will send. love your demos

[@SharonRStudio]

Thank you for doing this video. Your explanation was wonderful.

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

Thanks for this great info. A lot of this is great for any machine. I don’t own a Featherweight, but I’ve had many a jam! One of my machines is a 1911 treadle Singer “Red Eye.” I think a lot of this is probably applicable to the “Red Eye, too. I never knew the major causes of thread jams before or how to prevent those jams till now. I just thought I was having a bad day!

[@nancywicker1930]

So grateful for this explanation!

[@karenjohnson3431]

Excellent video 🌺🌸🌺

[@hong-diy]

这个缝纫机真漂亮😍，讲解详细❤

[@BA-ng9bx]

I was thinking about getting a featherweight but if I have to go through all this just to remove a jam I think I will not buy one after all, so thanks for the video😂

[@valeriebigley8759]

Great info ❤

[@valeriabauer2738]

Thanks!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Wow thanks

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

Thank you for the info. I have never seen that tool for a featherweight. I did not see you use it to tighten the bobbin back after you pulled the threads out. Do you need to do that?

[@suemerritt1679]

This might be a stupid question, but does this mean there is no reversing for a lock stitch?

[@nevaannegrant453]

No you can reverse with your featherweight.

[@denisetymensky8922]

@@nevaannegrant453 how do you lock the stitch? Is it the same as the 1918 machine I was told to hold the fabric in place and stitch over the same spot?
