Singer 6268 Sewing Machine - Part 2 - Local Charity Shop Repair - Embroidery Attachment Testing
I decided to try to make progress with the embroidery attachment for the Singer 6268 sewing machine.
I was hoping the embroidery attachment was not reliant on the feed mechanism that I removed from the machine in the last video so I could show it in action.
Things didn't quite work out as planned as you will see.

Easy Thread Changing on your Serger / Overlocker - The Pull Through Method
zhlédnutí 685Před 4 měsíci
An easy way to change your serger thread without having to fully re-thread the machine. This is handy if you're wanting to change color or you notice the thread is about to run out. The new thread can be tied on to the old thread and pulled through. If your knots are small enough they will go through the looper eyes. The knots will not go through the needle eyes so they will need re-threading. ...

    Can you show me how to take out the upper disc tension disks. I think the spring is compressed as it only clamps the cotton at 9 when i wind the wheel down to adjust the tension it totally releases, so it's all or nothing . Pretty please

  • @samuelmellars7855
    @samuelmellars7855 Před 12 hodinami

    Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, my bernina 730 record must be older than when they started using this system! Instead there are two big slot-head screws in a similar position. I'll try fiddling with those to see if that does anything

    • @samuelmellars7855
      @samuelmellars7855 Před 12 hodinami

      Well, that was harder than expected, but it worked! 1960s Bernina 730 Record. Its has two screws holding the idler wheel bracket. My screwdrivers were just gonna mush the heads because the screws were seized and they didn't fit the slot well, so I used a thin piece of saw-blade as a scredriver that fitted better. It worked! I thought I'd broken the screws or the "screwdriver" when they came loose, but they just needed breaking free. Two screws and manual adjustment only, no spring. Its a pain because the belt ends up going over one of the screw heads as well. But loosen the screws a bit and move the idler, and it tensions the belts! Success!

The press-in mechanism on the hand wheel seems to have perished, but I'll see if it still works. Thank you so much for these videos.

  • @mrbrumby3409
    @mrbrumby3409 Před 7 dny

    Thanks for that really clear instruction. I’d also like to give some other information which may help some people as well. My wife’s Janome had the same issue so off to the repair shop it went. Response, “it’s an electronic issue and can only be fixed by replacing ‘the board’”. Also, she found that after this repair, the reverse and forward sewing direction reversed!! That is the machine ran in reverse when forward was selected and forward when reverse was selected. So machine sat for years in the corner with my wife not having the courage to “throw out” her favourite machine. So fast forward to my retirement and decided to learn how to fix sewing machines so I can fix and maintain hers. I watched your video and it was fantastic. It fixed the “slowness”, but not the reversal. I also realised she was lied to as there’s very little in these machines that is actually “computer” controlled. The lights, motor speed and needle down……..that’s about it. I played with the machine for days and realised the bar that goes from the reverse selector goes to a join and then another bar to the feed dog. And, when I ran the machine forward, the feed dog ran back and visa versa! Why I kept thinking. Then I realised this “hinge” between the selector and the feed dog was way back in the machine. So I stuck my finger in and started moving the hinge forward. And after came forward past the pivot point, bingo, the foot ran in the correct direction!!!! Couldn’t believe it. The problem was fixed! Clearly when trying to repair it, the mechanic had pushed this back and reversed the direction of the feed dog. I know this makes little sense with no photos. But hopefully you get the gist that if you have this problem, the fix is simple. Well simple after days of thinking about it.
