Thank you 🙂
Great work! I can't wait for the next video!
Thanks!
I have multiple machines I'm working on at the same time. It will probably a video on the 319k or a general info-video on the Singer 78-1. But I'm also reshooting videos on the 128k and 99k (the previously uploaded videos are not good enough...) .
Thank you Erik for your video. Today I unpacked a box of childhood toys and found a Sew Handy 40 K in its plastic carrying case with original instructions (and seam guide 🙂) No needle though, so I appreciate your tip on the replacement needle.
Hi. Congratulations on finding a Singer 40k! Such a nice little machine.
You can find the 24x1 needles online, or search for Niels de Gooijer ('Naaimachines Vintage & Antique') he had them too.
Enjoy your singer 40k
Nice to have, cheers bro.
Thanks mate!
Hi @erikneek. I really liked the quality of this video. Image, sound and for sure expertise is very enjoyable.
I'm looking for a serviceable manual sewing machine to sew backpacks. I'm would like something simple, strong enough to sew through thick material and very portable as I might moved abroad soon. What would be the most suitable between the model 20 or the 40? Other recommendations maybe? Thank you for your time.
Hi JC, thank you so much! Massages like yours makes me enjoy making the videos!
Being Dutch I'm direct. So please excuse me for being blunt. I understand your question, but you're asking the impossible.
The 40k is simply a toy and the 20 is officially a mini sewing machine, for toy and travel. Both are not strong enough to handle thick materials. Even the 221 Featherweight is not suited for what you're looking for. It can do the job, but you'll destroy it.
The bigger the machine, the more punching power it produces. The motor has to give you the power. The Singer domestic machines may do the trick, but also with the domestic machines: They are made for fabrics.
If you really want to sew thick materials I would say: Go for a vintage industrial machine. The model 31 is cheap enough to try. You probably need a new motor too.
To be honest... that seems too much for you and your traveling opportunities.
May I suggest something weird?????
The model 66 is very capable. The model 99 is three quarters the size of the model 66 but is identical. So the 99 is portable (kind of). If you can find a manual hand crack machine you can transfer more power to the needle bar compared to a bolt on motor. Had a hand cranked machine can be used everywhere in the world. They were made in millions, so they are not hard to find.
Long story short: I would suggest a Singer model 99.
Good luck and safe travels!
(PS One of my first videos in 2019 was on the Singer 99. I mispronounced 'sewing'. I can do a better job, so that video will be replaced ;-) )
I have this machine and the book that came with it.
Congratulations. It such a lovely machine little machine to look at. I hope you enjoy having yours.
@@erikneek I received it as a present went I was 8
@@janereynolds8683 that’s nice! And you still have it? So it must be special to you
Wonderful demo and explanation of this cute toy machine. I thought it was plastic, but it is aluminum, wow! This is such a good video, excellent visuals and demo.
Please never add music to any demo or DIY video. It hurts the ears. Music is very irritating to the brain when trying to focus on learning something.
Thank you so much for watching and your comment. I'm glad you liked the video.
Regarding the music: I find it very hard to do the voice overs in English. Some sentences are combined of 5 takes of one single sentence. Sometimes even more!!! I even need to cuts in single words and combine several takes of a single word. As a result the ambient noise is all over, and the cuts in the voice over track are VERY noticeable. Without music you'd go crazy. So I NEED music to mask all the cuts in the audio track.
But in general I understand your comment: When focusing on the content, music is often distracting.
How much does it cost?
Hi @proootprottiproot4443
The value of any Singer sewing machine is being determined by the model you have, the condition it is in and the location. And some various other factors. So there is no fixed price. I have a separate video about this: czcams.com/video/iV8tc97gWaE/video.htmlsi=RdSzyQmYjUTNfnig
I usually pay between 20 and 35 euros for a Singer 40k IN MY AREA!
