Using the Classic Husqvarna / Viking Automatic 21e - Basics

[@naukumaija7056]

I bought this machine 10 years ago to do some quilting, got started but then forgot about it, including how to use the machine. Thanks so much for the manual!

[@maryschultz42]

I loved your video; my dad gave me a Viking Husqvarna 21 in 1966 for my high school graduation gift. I used it to clothes my kids, husband and myself for many years, I still have it and use it for crafting. It has all the bells and whistles, so I think it was the top of the line at the time, it was used when I got it but in perfect shape, Thanks for the video it told me some things I didn't know about the machine.

Thank you so much for making this extensive video on the machine! I just inherited my grandmothers husqvarna and am also new to sewing. My mother and I have been trying it out and especially would NOT have been able to make a buttonhole without this vid! Cheers from Finland.

[@Nora-jt9zy]

Thank you for this video😊 I am in my mid 50ies, and have this sewing machine. I have never done much sewing, but my mom have done a lot, and most on this machine that she bought when she was 18. When she bought herself a new one, she gave this one to me. I have very recently gotten a bit interested in taking up sewing, and this is the machine that I still have, and it’s now 62 years old, and works just fine 😊. I’ve only made a few curtains before, so I’m excited to expand my “reportoire” 😊

[@pellefant66]

Thank you very much for a brilliant presentation of the Husqvarna Autaomatic 21E. I inherited a 21A from my grandmother but unfortunately I've lost the manual. Thanks to your video I've managed to sew a button-hole. Cheers!

[@shakerson]

Best video on the old Vikings I've seen. I usually restore machines but I just got my hands on a 19 Special that I'm going to restore for myself as my first machine. I couldn't find anywhere else that explained buttonholing with this machine. Thank you, sir.

[@mapanchi]

Thank you so very much for this video! I inherited this exact same model from my grandmother. The user's manual was nowhere to be found, and I had no idea how to set the stitches. You were very helpful! Thanks! Also, your cat is gorgeous 🤩

Thank you so much! I recently found an old husqvarna automatic my mother used to use, but I wasn’t able to find any information on the sewing machine. I had no idea how to use one. I found your video incredibly helpful even tough it’s not the exact same machine, a lot of this did word the same as the machine I have. I now know the basics of this machine! I’m very grateful to be able to use the machine now. Again, thank you:)

[@sideduck6501]

I have one myself and i would say that it is a top of the line basic sewing machine seccond to nothing produced today in the basic segement. It is in my opinion a joy to use as well.

I loved your thorough explanations. They gave me an insight and a good head-start to be able to operate the Husqvarna 21E I bought today. I'm really looking forward to do some sowing when it arrives in about a weeks time. Can't Wait !! Cheers

[@sideduck6501]

I am a bit curious how you like your machine? Do you mind sharing?

[@griparian]

@SideDuck Hi @SideDuck. When I got my first Husqvarna 21E I was captivated by its color, its engineering, its single svelte arm and tray table, its capacity for 2 spools, its potential for an infinite number of stitches via adjustments and the 3 cams, its powerful motor, its peculiarly efficient floating bobbin, its neat little bobbin window, its minimal oiling points, its simple mechanical design and user-friendly setup, its superb weight and its outstanding practical performance of simply sewing anything and everything including leather and canvass WELL, without breaking needles and especially the potential for the machine to last many lifetimes.. A thought that entered my mind was 'Why aren't all sewing machines made like this' . If I was to improve anything I would switch the bobbin winding and engine housing covers from plastic to metal. The Bobbin winding housing suffers the most breakages on second hand machines and it's rare to find a machine nowadays, that is not cracked there. As soon as I got the machine, I began sewing up and modifying a quilt cover to form separate compartments to house 2 sleeping bags. Then I started sewing a few pairs of light weight trousers I had bought in Thailand, where the material was 'Space-Age' but the sewing was 'Stone-Age'...lol I was then 'Hooked' on my Husky 21E and after listening to the interesting and thorough 'In Stiches' video where the expert presenter gave a few 21E machines away to 'thrift-shops' , it almost brought tears to my eyes...lol I have about 5 or 6 old singer sewing machines, a Husqvarna 21E and a Husqvarna 21A. I want to preserve and protect these TITANS of industry and longevity and I have stored them away for another time. The Husqvarna 21E and A are in the most accessible places in my house right now and I have oiled them all with a special oil made in Bavaria in the 1800s to oil munitions like guns and pistols. It is called 'Ballistol' and its 'superpower' is that it DOES NOT RESINIFY. That means the oil does not turn to a Gum, after the volatile components have evaporated. That was the best thing I could do for my machines and I am confident that they will NOT 'Gum-Up' as long as they are in storage. Right now I have done all the sewing I needed to do, but I know when the time arises, my go-to-machine-of-choice will be the Exceptional Husqvarna Viking 21E. It is such a JOY to use, infinitely capable and so brilliantly engineered. It's my most favourite machine of all time. Thanks for your interest.

[@sideduck6501]

@@griparian Thanks for charing. I also have a few sewing machines but the 21E is probaby the one i like the best. I feel in control when i use it and the stitches comes out great. In my opinion the machines of this era are probably the pinnacle of the mechanical sewing machines. Edit: Thanks for the information on the oil. That sounds like a good choise.

[@griparian]

​@@sideduck6501 That's a 'Ditto' from me about sewing machines of that era being the 'pinnacle' of mechanical sewing engineering. These days with the principle of 'Planned-Obsolescence' ruling the manufacturing ethos of current day design and manufacture, plastic geared sewing machines are not worth even considering to buy. That's why these machines-of-old are so valuable, even though most people do not recognise it. I sense a resurgence when they do...lol If you read the specifications of Ballistol on their home-page, you will get an idea about how valuable and useful this oil is. I have even oiled the fret-board of a guitar with this stuff and it made the wood come up like new. You can even use it on Leather. I keep looking for the Husqvarna 21E on sites like eBay and Gumtree, but they are like hens-teeth now. Suffice it to say that I will pick up another one when it happens to come my way. If you have time, check out the following video which illustrates the engineering genius of the floating bobbin and its teflon coating: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4jGd2WLmLuAncU Cheers

[@totallyjonesin]

Great vid! I don't normally watch vids this long, but this was a must watch.

[@InStitches]

Please it helped. Thanks.

[@annairvine4625]

This was so informative. I've had my Husqvarana for 30 years! Brought it at a garage sale for $20 🤩Yesterday as I was sewing, it started to smoke. I've luckily found a repair shop. They say a new motor or rewired motor will cost up to $250. Definitely worth fixing as I very much doubt any machine you'd buy today would last 30+ years. I have never known what to do with all the different feet or wasn't aware of lots of the info in this video. I've only had it serviced once in all this time. I wasn't even aware where the oil went 🙄 I shall now maintain my beloved machine properly as it's such an amazing tough vintage beauty 😍 Thanks for the detailed information. Also I loved the cameo appearance of Molly the kitty 😍

[@InStitches]

Hi. That sounds like it could just be the capacitor that needs replacing and fortunately that costs a lot less to do than a new motor or rewire. Thanks.

[@abebakebede1186]

Thank you so much. It is very helpful👍

[@ryptoll4801]

Thank you for this guide! I was originally searching for info on how to thread a twin needle with this machine, but I stuck around to watch the whole video even though you had nothing on that specific feature. (I eventually figured out the twin needle on my own, but then realized it didn't have enough spacing for my project anyway.) I have this exact model sewing machine that I found at a thrift store years ago, and I've been doing regular straight stitch and zig-zags with it to make all sorts of garments, but I could never figure out how to do all the fancy stitches it promised, and I had no idea it has three secret doors, slow speed option, or that my backstitch button isn't broken! So I had a lot of "wow" moments watching this video, and running back to my machine to check all the features you talked about. Sadly though, my machine does not have the B and C plugs for making different kinds of fancy stitches. It only has the A plug that's in the machine. I have no idea if it's possible to find such specific plugs somewhere online, but other than that, no manual and one missing bobbin, it has all the attachments and it's in good condition still. I really like this sewing machine as it's very sturdy and easy to sew with. The mint green color makes it stand out from all the white modern ones as well.

A real fine machine. I use it every day, almost. Beautiful stitch. I sew shirts. I also use in parallel a viking 2000/6440. It has some more useful seams, tripple strait. But the 21e has three nidle positions. I wish it was more, for controlling flat field seams and nearer borders. Both machinens in perfect condition. My wife has electronic Sapphire 960q. But I am satisfied eith mine!!

[@penlennon3576]

Thank you so much for such a detailed demonstration of this machine. I have a few questions if you don't mind? If I only have the standard foot, can i use the other cams for other stitches? It looks like I would need the satin stitch foot to me. If I only have the standard foot, which cam should i use for straight stitch and zig zag? Are extra feet and bobbins easy to find? Also, that was really lovely thread you were using, what is that?

[@zrebbesh]

DIY tip about missing the tiny plastic oil guide to the pad behind the pulley: I found a syringe whose tip was the perfect size, shape, and material to be a replacement, cut it off the syringe and shaped it to fit, and it's nearly indistinguishable from OEM. I don't know what kind of a syringe you'd ask for; it was one of a dozen-or-so that I've got with cat medication over the years.

[@InStitches]

Good one. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you for this video. I just got one of this machine, slightly used. Please my thread breaks at the needle when I am sewing. The stitches also tend to gather. Could you advice on what I can do?

[@emiliadea7942]

This video was a huge help, thank you! I inherited my great great aunt’s sewing machine and this video gave me almost all the answers I was looking for. I was wondering if by any chance you would have the answer to my remaining problem with the sewing machine. The needle only stars going up and down when the foot pedal is pushed almost all the way down, and the speed is super fast when the needle starts moving. The slow mode you showed in the video helps but still I have no control over the speed with my foot other than the two modes. I am wondering if the foot pedal is broken or could it be something else/have something to do with the machine itself? Thank you once more for such an informative video

[@InStitches]

Hi. I would say it's the foot controller at fault. Maybe see if it can be fixed or get a good replacement. Thanks.

[@antoniawilliams2446]

Not sure if this will be seen since it was made 3 years ago. But my mother in law found me this machine at an op shop it works great other than when i attempt to reverse through thick layers (im sewing dog collars) it make a horid click, then the machines refuses to go until i lift the foot and move the fabric and then as soon as i go again it does the same thing. What am i doing wrong?

[@themashimallow]

When I pull the bobbin winder area out to try use the reduction gear, this seems to push on the bit that makes it go into bobbin winding mode. So instead of being able to sew at slow speed, it just stays on bobbin winding mode and the handwheel and needle bar does not move. I'm trying to emulate what you've shown in the video. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Thank you for this video, I just got one today for a steal off FB, and it’s in verrrry nice condition, no seizing, all the bits and pieces, only my manual is in German 😂 but I have 2 x b1 and 1 c1 cam, no a1 :( Oh wow, didn’t realise you were in NZ... should have realised from your accent :)

[@zrebbesh]

The 'a', 'b', and 'c' cams shipped with the machines. 'a1', 'b1' and 'c1' were an optional purchase. 'a' cams are the ones normally in the machine. They don't get separated from the machines they're in, so they're nearly ubiquitous. 'b' and 'c' less so. But the optional cams are really hard to find.

[@cazkiwinz4300]

[@KornKapri2]

This is such a helpful video! I recently got this machine as a gift from my MIL who is teaching me to sew with it. It has however been broken on the side and is missing the tension screw for the bobbin winding function. Do you know of a reputable place to source this piece? I have searched to no avail for this part. Alternatively, my thought would be to try to wind the bobbin with a standard screw without the tension device. Will that work? I'm considering buying a separate bobbin winding device, but would like to avoid that if possible.

[@InStitches]

You could hold the thread manually in front and lined up with bobbin so it winds evenly. Make sure to not wind it too tight or too loose. I hope that helps. Thanks.

[@maria2400]

Great video. Love the cat.

I can change the stitch from straight to zigzag and adjust the stitch length but still I have no control of the sowing. A bit too automatic 😅 Do you have an idea of what can have gone wrong and if there’s something I can do to try to fix it? Thanks in advance 🙏
