- Here are some of my vintage sewing machines from my other sewing passion. I love finding and restoring vintage sewing machines. The craftsman is incredible, they were designed and manufactured to last and for the most part you can still get a good stitch from a 100 year old machine. I get so excited about vintage machines, its hard to pick a favourite one as they each feel like they have their own personalities. Please note - they are not for sale.

Thanks for watching and liking🍮! Do you have a vintage sewing machine?✨
Yes i have 4 .and I used it to sewing my dress ,i do thé embroidery also. I used the treadles vintage machine.since 30 years
Yes! I just bought a Singer 306k!
Oh my! You have some marvelous machines! I'm sure we'd all love to see the rest of them at some point too! I own three modern machines, but I share your love of well-built vintage as well and currently have a collection of 16. Most are Kenmores (my favorites), but I have 2 Singers, a 301A and a 201-2. I also have a couple of Universal machines from the early 60's. A few of my machines are quite powerful. I have a 1954 straight-stitch Kenmore with a 1.5 amp motor and a chain drive, which will chew through 8 layers of denim as though it were butter. It's great because I'm currently working on a bunch of canvas projects. As you know, no way can modern domestic machines stitch through multiple layers of heavy denim or canvas. Not all my machines are in usable condition but again, like you, I love working on them, fixing them up and bringing them back to useful life again. I just finished refurbing the 201 and it's superb.
Please keep posting great videos!
Great video. Love all the vintage machines. I'm glad you saved them and they have a loving home. Someone just gave me a machine I'm trying to find some info on and I'm not having ANY luck at all. It was rusted and the hand wheel wouldn't even turn when I got it. I spent hours cleaning it with Q-tips and carefully sanding the rust off the hook and bobbin case. Got it freed up, oiled and all the knobs turning now. But the tension assembly doesn't have a spring on it? Do they all have take up springs? I'm very new to sewing and can't find anything about this machine. It says it was made in Japan. It has the name National in white in all capital letters on a little light blue plate, which matches the color of the machine. It also says Stretch Series and Super 100 on the front towards the top by the knows. The little metal plate on the underside says its Model 100 Serial number 05583. I took the motor cover off and it says Sewing Motor Model YM-40, if that's helpful at all. I would really appreciate it if you were able to point me in the direction of anywhere I could get more info. Keep your videos coming, they are awesome. Sorry for writing a book in your comments.
I got an Aurora sewing machine...I believe it is British, very old...do you know anything about Aurora Sewing Machine Manufacture Co? Thanks a lot. Greetings from Brazil :)
I worked for the Singer Manufacturing Company as a store sales person. These machines were fun to use and sell. Thanks for “sewing” them,😉
I love the hunt , i collect vintage machines , mainly singer but have a few other brands , i just bought a bundle of 5 machines for 100 bucks canadian , a 15-91 singer , Capri by singer , Necchi BU , pfaff 332 and the last one was a mint 1951 206k i was trying to give the lady more money but she said she can see my pasion for them and said no they are going to the right person so 100 is good . I own 12 vintage machines and need help my wife says , you can only use one at a time , why do you need so many , my reason , they are from a time when people cared about what they made and where they worked , we need to not forget we once made thing the best we can , instead of thats good enough......
_they are from a time when people cared about what they made and where they worked , we need to not forget we once made thing the best we can_ _ You have articulated something I never could before about why I love these machines too. Thanks for sharing and wow! What a gret find getting those 5 machines. Have fun!_
Greetings, very beautiful collection,, thanks for sharing!❤❤
I have one rule when it comes to owning vintage machines. They must be all metal . I have a few dozen so far. Love them all. Wish I could sew with them all every day.
Thanks so much for bringing this wonderful display of machines ,matching your equally extensive knowledge of the histoy.
In 1960 I had a collection of over 100 mostly Singer machiines which after a marriage I donated to a museum....Move on to 2010 and now in France, retired, I began doing it all again. these machines are captivating...I have a collection of over 50 (still growing)
I have just bought for 20 euro a Singer 411 that I think you have as a 401. and it came with all the discs and bits and I will go so far as to say I doubt it has ever been used.
All my 4 grandchildren have sewing machines, mostly 15K variants, and it is wonderful to see the work they make....and... the interest from thier schoolmates..
Keep spreading the gospel....sewing machines never die ☺☺
Beautiful collection of vintage sewing machines. I have 24 vintage and antique sewing machine with an average age of 104 years. I haven't done any cosmetic restoration on them, but every one of them sews beautiful,
I loved seeing your beautiful collection!! I adore vintage machines, and have a few of my own. I've just purchased my first Featherweight 221. I love it!!! I've learned so much about them by watching youtube videos. I had my first thread jam, and learned why. I learned to always turn the hand wheel towards you, never away from you. Even rocking or a slight turn in the the opposite direction will start the jam in the bobbin area . Luckily, I was able to watch the Featherweight Shop videos and I was able to fix it without damaging my bobbin case . There is an order to removing the parts so you won't break the finger part of the bobbin area. It's not fun to handle a thread jam on a Featherweight! I think I'm going to order the thread jam tool in case it happens again. Enjoy all your lovely machines and happy sewing 😊
Beautiful collection! I really enjoyed watching your delightful video. I am obsessed with vintage sewing machines 😆
Thank you so much!
Thank you for displaying your wonderful collection. In 2019 my mother pass away (97yo) we had a wonderful relationship. Before she passed, she handed me one of her old machines, before that time I did not paid much attention to sewing machines. Then one day I got in front of that old machine and made it work beautify (long story short), now I have my apartment full of machines that I literally have to walk sideways LOL. I often wonder what it is of vintage sewing machines that are so addictive.
Thanks for sharing.
I own about a dozen vintage machines. My go-to-machine is a 501a slant needle Singer Rocketeer. I do almost all my sewing on it. I don’t have a modern machine. I have a beautiful Japanese clone that is red and cream named Belair like the car. I feel it is better made than Singer. I have a Japanese clone that is pink! Although I have a featherweight that I love the smallest machine I have is an Elna Lotus which is remarkable. All my machines sew beautifully. My goal is to learn how to use my two treadles. The hand wheels on them turn in different directions so that will be challenging. I am so thankful to CZcams that educated me on how to work on my machines.
Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Oh my, you got a great deal on that sweet little Featherweight!
I hope you found your bobbin case.
My godfather worked at the St-Jean Singer factory back in the days and it was quite the drama. They had to organize a class action suit because there was some shenanigans with their retirement funds. It got settle in the end but it was an ongoing story in the news, and in the family, for years.
Wow thanks for sharing that. I watched a documentary on Kilbowie in Scotland where the main SInger factory was and it was fascinating.
@@SaturdayNightStitch , I have watched that video a few times, it’s fascinating how these old Singers were manufactured. How hard these people worked! I have a singer 99k, from 1956, I named her Elsie, after my grandmother who was from Scotland, she immigrated to the US, in 1920, as an indentured servant! She had a very hard life. My Mom, was a professional seamstress, Both of my Grandmothers and my Mom, when she very young, worked in the lace and textile mills in RI. I love your collection of sewing machines, I only have 2 presently, am planning on retiring and moving very soon, and can’t wait to hit the thrift shops and add to my collection!
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
I have so many sewing machines. I haven’t sewed much since the pandemic, I have to clean them all up again, didn’t have a dust covers or keep cloths over them , but watching your video on your collection has motivated me to Clean them, all 24 of them lol, tfs.
In His Grace Lorisa
Didn't find what I was looking for, but I really loved all the anecdotes attached to these
I love this small really narrow arm on The floss or sewing cuffs or any kind of small Garmin sleeve or pant leg
Love, love, love! I have the Pfaff 130, big black beauty, she sewed my wedding dress and mended a trampoline. Need to bring her out. I’ve been sewing on my Elna SU, 2 of them, they go through anything my newer diva machine can’t seem to handle. They don’t make them like this anymore. Your collection is drool worthy! Thank you❤️
Thank you! But wow Pfaff 130!! I am still looking out for one. I dont have an Elna as yet but I have been hunting a Grasshopper for years :-). Part of my love of these is just the sheer beauty of the engineering behind them - so fascinating and to be made to last generations.
Like this vid a lot just bought a singer 99 and the 401g my first ever machines my sister sews but I was design and print gonna alter my trousers and go from there
Yay! You'll love them The 401G is a true marvel!
You need to get the correct bobbin for the featherweight - the bobbin case may work with the correct bobbin
Thank you! I'll try that!
Absolutely correct, you have the wrong bobbin for that Featherweight.
You can add a hand crank to your 15K. I bought one and installed it on my old Singer and that's my taking-camping or power-outage-proof machine. :)
I saw this video last year. However, I had to come back to take a look at the Pfaff 91. What a beautiful sewing machine!!!
I have got that exact same Singer 99K hand crank. Mine is in fabulous condition. I love it so much. 😊
Very enjoyable to listen how happy you are with your collection. Thank for sharing
Very nice
Wow, it is a miracle, it is a history of sawing art I think. Good collection. It was very interesting to see that. Thank you😍🤗🌷 I have not vintage machines.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing
Girl, it’s nice to know there are other crazy gals out there.
I have about 10 Pfaffs in my home, 5 Singers, 2 Brothers and many modern Janome, Babylocks etc.
You pronounce Pfaff correctly, greetings from Germany!
You have the wrong bobbin inserted into your Featherweight. That's why the bobbin case won't fit. It's actually a class 66 bobbin what will fit into your 401G. Find some class 221 bobbins (they're cheap) and that bobbin case with your 221K will work. Look up The Featherweight Shop here on CZcams. They have many mini-instructional videos.
Happy sewing! 😊
Doesn't the Singer 301 case fit a 221?
@@simonahernandez1459 yes
Thank you for sharing. That was such a lovely relaxing watch.
Oh my gosh you are
a sewing machine
horder.
Open a
part time museum.
Just saw a vid a man buys tens at a time.
He has warehouses.
People just dont realize the fasination with theses simple precision in home machines.
It revolutionized society. Women might not been able to name
the thingymajig,
but the creations manafest
all across the world.
I have a basic bernett acadamy bo5
I love it.
Its portable
Relativaly lightwieght.
It has everything that used to be highend "exclusive", except built in walking foot.
I have old blackhead
But I cant carry it.
It weighs 35 lbs.

My ancestors used to own the Bradbury & Co company in England. Can’t believe you got it for 99p! Wouldn’t mind getting one myself for display purposes. Any more vids or reviews on the Bradbury would be appreciated
What a museum of Beauties and fascinating tour! I particularly loved the 99p bargain. The history of Singer assisting Japanes manufacturing industry after the war and how New Home became Janome and Jones became Brother are of interest.
I recognised the Jones case and machine immediately, as I used it to sew my Wedding Dress and a Bridesmaid Dress in 1975.
Thanks for sharing your treasures and knowledge with us.
I love the collection - especially the Featherweight. It's on my wishlist!
Beautiful.❤ thank you.
Lovely 🥰
Thanks 🤗
Hi Hila!! Absolutely gorgeous collection of sewing machines….
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
They are my joy!
Featherweight shop has bobbin cases for it
Beautiful machines!! You should watch which direction you turn the hand wheel. 95% of machines should only be turned towards you so clockwise. There's one machine of there, that I know of that turns counter clockwise.
Thanks for the tip.
Soo nice collection 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
lovely machines, bless your heart. found someone as crazy as myself lol
Thank you for sharing your beautiful machines. I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching!
Que hermosas y más tener una máquina yo sería feliz
increible
Woah!!!! I haven't even watched this but omg I'm soooooo excited! I have 6 machines and 5 are vintage. Ok time to watch this epic video. :)
Woohoo!, my 401G is my fave! And its German made!
Yay! Its such a gorgeous machine isnt it! I love that mine is the G too :-)
Q bellas tus máquinas, yo estoy restaurando una máquina japonesa clon de la singer de los años 50s y es increíble como hasta esas máquinas tienen historia, pues EEUU le otorgó a Japón el permiso para producirlas para q pudieran levantarse económicamente pues Fue parte de los acuerdos después de la 2 guerra mundial.
I inherited my Mother’s Necchi Silvia 586. She hardly used it. It’s handsome and a good sturdy machine - all metal casing, and came with an amazing array of feet. The 4- step buttonhole does give more flexibility than the automatic options on my Electronic Janome. I ought to use it more, but I suppose I’ve got used to the Janome.
The Necchis were the premium of Italian manufacturing and I remember reading somewhere how well they would survive being thrown from buildings and just go. Its sounds like a very lovely machine. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful collection, and thanks for sharing it with us.
While watching your video you mentioned the Singer stylist 418 timing issue . Etsy has a service and repair manual that also is a how to fix the timing .… look up … singer stylist 416 418 service repair manual .. the page has a lot of different manuals . Find the correct one for about 24 USA . I just ordered one for my 418 . Hope this helps you and your viewers ..
Beautiful machines! I especially like hand crank machines. That singer 15 with no motor could be fitted with a reproduction hand crank. I have done that to 2 old singers and they work quite well. Original singer handcranks can be found but are quite expensive
There is a company called the featherweight shop with online sales. I am sure they can provide you with any part you need.
Wow ! What a nice sewing machine collection ! I love vintage sewing machines because they were made to last
Thank you so much!
I noticed that too. Isn't that bad for the machine even without being threaded?
PLEASE DON’t TURN THE SEWING MACHINE WHEEL AWAY FROM YOU …. ALWAYS ALWAYS TURN THE WHEEL TOWARD YOU !!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I had to stop watching because of this. An exception is my vintage White Rotary that turns away from you.
It's just so sad. Every time someone turns a sewing machine balance wheel the wrong way a baby unicorn dies!
I came across a Singer 421 but it has an unusual electrical plug.
nice collection!
Thanks for visiting
ultimate hobby keep it up
Thank you, I will
I have a bunch of little suit cases in my garage. It is an addiction when you start to buy sewing machines, and you don't use them!!!
I'm truly impressed with your admirable knowledge of these nice old machines. I'm searching about for a machine to use, and wonder what you would recommend. I sometimes wish I had a machine that was could handle heavier duty.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. For the machine if you are looking to sew with slightly heavier materials up to leather for simple leather projects then a Singer 401G will have the power for that with the benefit of having zig zag stitch functions - just make sure you use correct needles for the fabric. If you are not bothered about zig zag and just need a straight stitch then you cant beat Singer 201K in my opinion. Good luck with it! Buying these vintage machines can be a tad addictive :-)
I have an old-fashioned sewing machine, if you are interested in including it in your collection, the name of the sewing machine is Niva
Thank you for sharing. Do you use all of them or do you just own them and have one machine that you actually sew on. I had the vintage machine bug a couple of years ago and recovered. I own four vintage Necchis, some Singers including a Rocketeer, Singer 201-2 and 15-91, a Kenmore build like a tank and two Berninas (1230 and 1030). I really only sew on the Berninas but I feel guilty about not using the others at all!
Oh wow - the Rocketeer! I certainly salivated over that one for ages before I accepted that the likelihood of my getting my hands on one here in UK was very slim. I do use them - some more than others (my cabinet 201K is a joy) and my Brother 661 tend to do more than the others. I try to use them at least 1-2times a year as a minimum. Sometimes one will stay out and get used until it doesn't have something (eg my 201K-2 doesn't do buttonholes).
This is an older video...Did you get your featherweight to work? In this video, it looks like that plastic bobbin in not the right bobbin for that machine. I learned to sew on a featherweight and the bobbins are flatter. Are you sure your bobbin case is wrong instead of the bobbin?
Yes and yes Thank you! She sews beautifully since I bought the correct bobbins. I now even have a white one too :-)
Have you checked out The Featherweight Shop? They have bobbin cases that are good replicas, or you'd need to to find an original Simanco one.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
I've been told that the Singer 301 bobbin case is the same as the featherweight.
Yes, it is!
Wow, you have quite a nice collection! I am truly a fan of Pfaff industrial and home sewing machines though I sew using Brother machines. I have not heard about anything emerging from their product line in quite some time now. Do you know if Pfaff still manufactures sewing machines? Have they sold out to someone else? Thanks!
You need a necchi!!!
Yes I do!

I have a Morse "super Dial" Sewing Machine in good shape with manuels and accessory boxes. Would anyone want to purchase it??
I have a Morse "Super Dial" Sewing Machine with instruction manuels and accessory boxes. I would love to sell them. Can you give me a name of someone who might be interested ??
do you sew on them, that is, each in work?
Yes I use them for projects and I try to use each at least once a year.
I need to stop and ask you please, please, please, Keep the presser feet down when you don't use the machines. Even those that you don't/can't use. And put a small piece of cloth under the foot.
Thanks Sapphire! I will definitely do that from now on. Thanks for the tip.
@@SaturdayNightStitch I only say this because i heard that keeping the presser foot up can mess up the spring.. I hear there's a spring in there, I should have said so from the beginning. ;p
But do not run the machine with the presser foot down without cloth underneath.
BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION!!! I freaked out when you turned the wheel backwards on the firsrt sewing machine and continued to do it on all the machines!!!!!!! please don't do that it can ruin the machine.. thank you
I hear people say that all the time (about turning the balance wheel the wrong way) but it's never explained how you ruin a sewing machine that way. You may blunt the needle hitting the hook mechanism but that's about all the ruination I can see.
Вау !!!🥰🥰🥰
Stop turning the hand wheel away from you. You are turning it the wrong way
Check out The Featherweight Shop in the US. They have loads of advice and products for Featherweight owners on their website.
Thank you! Ill check it out!
do you have anything to do with the article posted by vip art fair . your video is used on that article. the information in the article is extremely wrong esp with the valuations .
I cringe when u turn the handweel opposite direction.
😅
AGGGHHH ! I can't watch it all, it's so irritating seeing you turning the wheel the wrong way.
Thanks for sharing, however, there are many knowledgeable people who watch your video and beginners who need correct information, so I suggest that you redo this video...maybe first research sewing machine repair and collecting. It would be nice to see clean machines and cases and add a few matching cabinets.
Why does this woman turn the handwheels in the wrong direction on every machine?
I cannot watch any more of this; I don't think this woman knows how to sew.
😅
