Mine is on the way from eBay very good condition.

Thankyou for your good help! You were so easy to follow and didn't go so fast it was impossible to keep up. Your a good teacher and you helped "reunite" my wonderful kenmore with me. I almost put out too much money for a fancy smancy machine but didn't after I had a talk with God about it and he told me to be content with what I really NEED. 1 Timothy 6:8

This machine was the best in my professional school (85 - 1990). For nostalgie reason and I a designer, I am buying one soon...🙏🙏👍🏽

What does this have to do with sewing machines???

😂 we live in a don't give a fluck make your money nation. Unfortunately noone is gonna pay for styrofoam peanuts nor take the time to trash pick. people want to do as little as possible in the fastest way possible. There is no love or care left period. people who claim to be machine dealers and fixers aren't even servicing the machines they dealing. this is America and NOONE CARES. The charges upwards of $150 for shipping and uaed any too big to little box handy put that useless fragile tape on there. forget the handles cut outs with the parts falling out of them. i returned a broken shipped machine took the time trash picked took a good 45 monutes to pack. I removed the spool holder taped down the screws. 4-5 spokes were broken off by the time it got to me. with my example i hope they learned to pack. unfortunately Probably they dont care. Just vlad to say they own a business. America is trish on sooo many levels.

No, therr should be no electricity flowing through the frame. The frame is not designed to be grounded, or on neutral wire. You have a short that is not proper.

Thank you so much, After many videos you were the one that helped me to get my machine to wirk😊😊😊

I just picked up one of these R-1000 and cannot figure out how to turn it on. The wiring and pedal are in good condition. With everything plugged in, pressing the pedal does nothing. Not even an attempt to start. The hand wheel and feed dog move freely. Which button turns it on so I know where to focus? Thank you!

Quiero comprar una igual,quien me vende una?

Wow, that's so AWESOME!! I wish you guys did servicing in Kootenai County.

Yesterday, I found a barely used (!) Wards Signature Happy R103 that was being tossed. Today I found your channel. I'm so glad I did because the machine in the video above is very similar to mine. Because my machine has barely been used (judging by the condition of the light green paint), that itself comes with some issues. My first order is to replace the (original? White) belt that shredded when I turned the machine on.

What size bobbin do I use in a 403 slant o matic singer

Hi! I’ve got an 830 that is moving the needle while it’s in the fabric. It happens during decorative stitching. It’s like the parabola is upside down. It will sew a straight line and a zigzag. Any ideas to point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much for this, but as much as I loved having chickens growing up BACOCAWKK kept stealing my attention

I have an old Nelco that I got at a rummage sale for $10, but then spent $125 getting it all cleaned, oiled, and fixed. It worked beautifully for several projects,but now I can't figure out how to thread it! I feel like an idiot. I put different color threads in the top and bottom so I could see where the problem is coming from. It seems to be the top thread giving loops on the underside. I don't know the model # but will keep looking for it. Thank you. I find your voice very calming because I am so stressed out about the machine not sewing properly and I just know it is something I am doing wrong!

How is the grease box changed?

Is the little plastic lever repairable? I think its the reverse switch but not 100% sure due to it breaking off

Gracias por su ayuda aunque yo no ablo ingles pero segui el paso a paso cómo usted lo izo y me quedo bien se lo agradezco mucho bendiciones ❤❤

Could you please show a little slower on threading Video kinda dark thank you

I have this machine and I love it! I bought it 20 years ago for £89 from a Bernina specialist. It gets serviced and has never let me down. The old heavy machines are the best! ☺️

So pretty!

Very cool machine!

👍. Love these old machines.

We really needed more than 4 seconds! 😁 What a beauty.

You're my hero. I found a 201 at goodwill and restored it myself.. then I found this exact cabinet for $10 on facebook marketplace and had no idea what to do! Thanks so much for posting this.

Great video!! FINALLY!!! Someone mentioned the orientation of the flat spot on the needle!!!! Yayyyy! I’m having trouble with my thread being too slack. I have larger spools, so I had to buy a spool tree or whatever you call it. I can’t figure out, where to sit the darn thing, so that the thread goes through the machine with normal tension. Also, what should my tension knob be set on for leather, vs cloth?

How do you use the button hole attachment?

Not very detailed

Is that machine backwards? Is that peculiar to this machine or are all treadle machines backwards?

Beautiful machine!!

Can anyone tell me the screw size?

The background, intermittent noise in this video is rather annoying!

Your Singer 306K sewing machine is wonderful and my sewing studio is wonderful. Installed inside an old bus. I'm a man and I like to sew sporadically. I dream of one day doing something professional. I love working with old iron sewing machines and I have a Singer 319K with an aluminum head. I need to fix it in the decorative stitch part, it stopped oscillating the needle column. But it's sewing marvelously well in straight stitching, the straight stitching is beautiful. The needle column only moves in manual mode, when I turn the position lever (left, center and right). But it can't move on its own when I use the stitch keys and adjust the stitch width. It broke after bending the wrong needle that came with a 15x1 needle. I'm using a fine-handled DBX needle to sew straight now, as advised by a CZcams user. In Brazil there aren't needle 206x13. I live in Brazil.

Does anyone know the weight of the machine? My cabinet is shot, & I want to buy a wire cabinet for the machine head that will hold up to 20 lbs.

I was gifted this machine in a cabinet, tho I don't think it is the original cabinet. I did not think it was an old machine until I opened it and I almost fell over. I had to look this up. I also have to find and order the special bobbins for this as well as the fashion disks, I really want to get sewing on this!

Ty. Years ago my tension just went. I managed to take it apart n reassemble but it was always too tight after that. Now i know where i went wrong.

Beautiful machine!

Please reading the

Thank you for sharing this info. I purchased a used machine for $10 dollars, like the one in your video. It would not work. I felt that it might work with a proper cleaning & lubrication. It did not come with any paperwork. This video helped me understand the operation of this machine easily. Thanks.🙂 Cleaned & oiled it now works great ! 😁

I definitely need a complete tutorial! Was gifted one with all types of added tools. I'm overwhelmed! Haven't sown anything since high-school home economics class. At 62,I have the time to learn and enjoy such a beautiful machine 😍

First time seeing a sewing machine facing this direction.

Is the needle plate suppose to be screwed down? Mine isnt and I cant get the feed dogs to catch the fabric. Not sure. Also I need a tire for the winder but dont know how to remove the old one. Also when you turned the c ial on the stitch length. You looked like you didnt have much resistance. Is that the way they are supposed to be. 😮

Just bought one of these . Beautiful machines. Perfect condition but stitch length dial moves up when sewing. Wish I could remedy that

Thank you so much for such a thorough video! I just got a 15-91 and I’m a visual learner, so the paper manual doesn’t do much for my brain lol! I appreciate your time so much!

Where is the on off switch?

I'm envious... I have the same one and it doesn't work. It does not sew evenly and after 4-5 stitches the thread breaks. Please advice for settings. God bless you.

Maiden Japan - great album

I just purchased a Pfaff 130 in rather rough condition. The needle is set right of center. How can I reposition the needle to the center position?

What a beautiful packing job, wow! Loved the sickle action - whop! Cut. Sickle use matches the vintage machine aura. Now I have confidence I can pack anything. This was an immensely useful video for everyone to learn. I will notify Goodwill to use this as a training video for their packers. Thank you!

thank you very much for your intro. Look forward to saw a sail with the Bernina -have leather needles and hope the machine can do it. cheers from the south of Germany
