Using a Vintage Zig Zag attachment

[@UniversalEngineer]

So very helpful. Singer 201-2 here. I look forward to coming across an attachment. When viewing online, it’s easy to mistake the zigzag with the ruffler. 😅 Thank you!!!❤

I love the way you explain things and thank you for doing these videos. I have the singer zigzagar that I got with a treadle sewing machine but I had no manual. I didn't even know what it was still learning how to do a lot of this stuff and I do have a hand. Crank that I'm going to also turn into a turtle. I have a motor for it as well and I'm going to fix up a friends grandmothers treadle sewing machine for him be a hand crank of treadle and a motorized and I'm also going to give him a base to put it in so we can put it on a table no, he has options

[@sewythingy]

Thank you very much. Many manuals are available online for free if you Google the part number of your zig zag. It's lovely working on machines and getting them up and running, it's just so satisfying 🥰

The zigzag that attachment makes is beautiful. I enjoy your channel so much! Zig and zag part is so funny, but so important. 😂

[@sewythingy]

@@nancybenson1951 thank you, I'm so pleased you like them. Haven't made a video for a while now, but aiming to do some more soon 😁

[@sewythingy]

Hi SewyThingy! I love these old zig-zaggers and clicked to watch your vid the minute I saw it. (It's just a few minutes after 6am here in NZ right now and it's a public holiday today so YAY! - and there's a SewyThingy vid waiting for me!!) 🙂 You've probably figured it out because you did it in your demonstration - whether you pivot on the zig or the zag for the "filled in corner" when you turn depends on whether you are turning the fabric itself to the right or left. If you turn the fabric to the right pivot on the zag (when the needle is on the right-hand side of the zig-zag) and if you turn the fabric to the left pivot on the zig (when the needle is on the left-hand side of the zig-zag).

[@sewythingy]

Ah yes, I should've explained it better because zig turning and zag turning is important. Argh! But you are so right 🥰🥰🥰

[@meganmills6545]

@@sewythingy All the more reason for another SewyThingy video "Zig-zag attachments - Part 2" where you can show some more bits'n'bobs. I know that thing that looks like an edgstitcher is waiting in the wings so suspect you have an idea for another video brewing?...

[@sewythingy]

@@meganmills6545 I shall do an edge stitcher one for you 🥰

[@katemoore2980]

Hello, I have a zigzag like the third one. The upper hole is used if you have a singer 101. The lower hole is for the singer 66, 99, 127, 128, 201, and the 221. I love watching your videos!

[@sewythingy]

Thank you 😁😁😁

I have a few different attatchments etc. Now I’ll be able to shortcut the learning curve and actually achieve a good result thanks to your video instructions. Amazing detail and great teaching. Thankyou. My Engineer husband is fascinated by my Sewing machine attatchments. He comments on the quality of what was achieved by those original machine manufacturers.

[@sewythingy]

@@gillianwhaites5974 the ruffler one is great for an engineering perspective 🥰

[@Sunshine-un5ww]

Please do more videos! Maybe clothes or anything you’re teaching me to sew on my vintage singer 15k and feather weight. I have a 201 but it needs servicing I’m dying tonuse it though

[@sewythingy]

Aww thank you. I'm planning a few more but haven't quite worked it all out yet, but I promise some more are coming 🥰

[@sewythingy]

Forgot to mention, I did a little vlog on how I cleaned up my 201k. It's a hand crank but they are really easy to clean up and get running 🥰

[@NellMckay]

I just had a look at KZbin and without thinking said yeah there's Sewing Thingy ! 😂 x

[@sewythingy]

Brilliant 😁😁😁

Please share a link to Buy online Zig Zag attachment

[@sewythingy]

@@aamazingideasnational hi, I don't have a direct link I'm afraid. They sometimes pop up on eBay or Etsy but I don't check all the time I'm afraid.

[@heatherm.1473]

Do you happen to know if the zig zagger will also fit a 15-91?

[@sewythingy]

Yes they will, the 15k is also a low shank 😁

[@leighlatimore9407]

What is the number of your favourite singer zig zagged please.

[@sewythingy]

Hi, the number for my favourite one is called a Singer Adjustable Zigzag 121706 😁

Ho una vecchia singer 15 M .vorrei sapere se il piedino per zig zag del video e' adatto .visto che non e' facile trovarlo e come articolo vintage avra' un certo costo

[@sewythingy]

@@GiovannaSantoiemma Hello, yes the zigzag attachment will fit a Singer 15 as it is also a low shank machine 😁

[@GiovannaSantoiemma]
