Threading a Singer 40 (and 50) sewhandy toy sewing machine

Watch the longer video on this great Singer toy: • Everything about the S...
I make tutorials on vintage Singer sewing machines. Often longer videos with all the information I was able to find. But I also make separate videos on most topics I address in those longer videos.
No distracting loud music. No voice-over. Only the info you want to know.
I have more video’s on this little sewing machine. Videos on adjusting the needle bar (to accommodate other needles), maintaining this Singer 40k and the longer video with all the information I was able to find. Please check the playlist to watch more.

Btw Erik, you have a huge collection of Singer Vintage. How do you maintain and upkeep those machines? esp. those with body paint or decals started to flake and slowly drop off.

Hi mate!
I have to be honest: I sold most machines I bought. I only kept the best looking machines (except the 306k which I sold - I regret that decision to this day). I still have 2x 201k, 221k, 78-1, 31k32, 185k, 191b and a couple more I want to film soon. Currently I have only 15 machines, so that is not a lot. And only the good looking ones.
If I have an issue with one of my machines, or about a new acquired one, I ask a question on one of the Facebook groups. I have planned a video on retouching the paint, but that's a video for 2024 or later.
Take care!
