Great knowledge of the history !

Thank you Victor Colvin for saving and caring for these machines !!

Beautiful collection. Thank you.

💛🩷🧡💙💚💜❤️

Please put your presser feet down. A little piece of fabric in between the foot and the feed dogs. It’s better for the springs

I own 12 vintage sewing machines and for me they are much easier to use and service than new machines. I don't like new machines at all.

Such a nice man!

Pretty incredible. I hope he expands into the industrial & specialty machines.

Beautiful collection! The all metal machines are superior. I am now sewing my quilts on a Singer 201 because it just sews beautifully and I use the modern machines for fancy stitches and embroidery. TFS

❤❤❤❤❤

Estou apaixonada por todas linda coleção essa da rainha e sopra rainha mesmo obrigada por comparyilhar acho que vou voltar aqui pra rever mais vezes

His smoke detector needs a battery...that's the occasional "tweet/chirp" you hear in the background. That's a disappointment with all of those lbeautiful wooden cabinets, and many are antique cabinets... which really means over 100 years that the wood has "seasoned". Huge fire tisk, in my humble opinion. I remember using the light green Singer with those "typewriter" keys. It was in a Mahogany cabinet. I was allowed to sew on it only after I passed my Home Ec class in 7th grade, in 1962. I now have a Damascus Treadle sewing machine. I only need to place the leather strip around the wheels and it will be ready to use!!!

Yaaasssss celebrate 🎉 ❤. I love this so much!

Nice machines..i have about 45 electric machines and 15 treadles..I live about 5 minutes where Isaac singer was born in pittstown ny

Great going Stacy 👏

Outstanding collection and I love to see his eyes glowing and his smile, when he talks about all the wonderful machines. Great video :)

Wow! It’s so wonderful to see his amazing collection! I have about 120, but none very special..I just love the beauty and functionality of all of them,from treadles to early electrics,to the older nechis and singers…all of the all metal machines. I especially love the wild colored ones,Pink Morrises,green Vigorellis, turquoise Japanese models…the funny little Elnas..it’s a joy to get them functional again!

I would like to be involved. DVF was my first fashion design employer...

You guys made me laugh. Thank you.

Large enough square footage.

Love it Nicole🙏🏼

I have a Singer Patcher from 1887 which I use in my upholstery workshop here in the Scottish Highlands 😮

What is the name of this place? Are they located in Maryland? I have an old pair of R. Heinisch that I would love to have serviced. Thanks

It's amazing ❤😍😍😍

Antique sewing machines collector

What a wonderful ramble for the puppy!

Semangat Stacy ❤😍😍😍🏃💪

Oh my goodness, what an amazing collection. His knowledge, of all of the machines, is just incredible and very impressive!! I love his corner stone Kenmore.

A Black Queen and 'his' sewing machines LOL.

Amazing presentation of far east textiles and just cultural aesthetics . International trade and shopping taken to another order of magnitude. Beautiful presenters.

Most all of my machines are vintage and I actually find them easier to sew on than some of the modern machines that try to think for you. I love that most of my machines have all metal gear and I can service them myself.

Crazy collection. It's rare to find an actual sewing machine HISTORIAN, lol. Saw everything from Wheeler & Wilson to Whites, to JAMES in there.

Need to add sewing machine tractors to make museum interesting

❤

What a wonderful way to spend time. Victor is a fountainhead of useful history. I was remembering the smell of sewing machine oil of my mother's machine which is the first machine i was allowed to operate when i was 10 or so. It had a folding platen on the side opposite the pedestal and was run by a little electric motor that never seemed to need any work on it. I liked the treadle machines on Java as well and was amazed at the way they would use them for embroidery.

Amazing. I hope he does get a signature machine I agree a two spool model would be a hit I would buy one

I have a collection of sewing machines but I’m not a true collector. I enjoy sewing and part of my hobby is learning about them and maintaining them. Cleaning and oiling is all they need. I laughed when he gets the comment of “ my grandfather or mother had one of those.” I get that too. I also get “ I wonder what happened to it?” Great video.

great content. Thank you

❤

You girls are so amazing I’m glad I found your channel, I also have a big collection so seeing this video makes me want to keep collecting. I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to more content.

Well look who's here. You're getting to be quite a rock star amongst us collectors. Love you darling ,see you in group.

I don't see a red & white Japanese BelAir 620. It took me five years to find one, and it works great!

fantastic collection!

So nice to see there are others who find these machines and save them. The story of how people get "bite" by the vintage machine bug is always fun and interesting. My story started with Necchi "Lydia"-- this machine opened the path to see so many designs and models. A quilter was sewing on this little machine and indicated it to be a feather weight. She said it sews the best straight stitch of any machine made, every master quilter has one. So when at a thrift store i found one for 7.00, only to be disappointed that it was a Singer model 99K. The fact is that all I knew was the featherweight was small and black. However this machine lead me to the different types of bobbin styles, rotary and vibrating shuttle, which lead deeper into the rabbit hole. My main thing with these machines is the pride and engineering that was put into them, to be functional and also beautiful. Did not see or hear mention of the puzzle box for the treadles. Thank you for the tour and all the knowledge.

Thank you, especially for the preview tour at the end.
