Vintage Singer Zig Zag Sewing Machines

319s are my favorite sewing machines! I'd love to hear all about them, the more, the better!

Yeah the 319 is great.

I got a 319w during the pandemic with the table and all the attachments. I love this machine but still have yet to actually sew stuff w/ it. Just need to figure out what needle, if it needs work (it runs, motor and all though). The motor seems to run slower than some of my other machines but maybe that's how it was manufactured? Its like a .90 amp or something, so i imagine they don't run as fast? I bought it from this couple for $40! Score. :))

I think in my first video of the 319 my sister mentions how to set the machine up to take regular needles. The machine is pretty fast. Perhaps the motor on your machine needs to be serviced and cleaned. Thanks for watching.

@@myersdesignstudio Thank U! I'll check out tht video. The motor is hard to tell but it may also just be the speed at which it was made. I have machines that are 1.2 to 1.4 amps (all vintage, mostly kenmores). At closer inspection, the 319 is a whopping .53 amp. I am accustomed to faster running motors, i think. lol
