Hi Ray thanks for the video. I have a silver plated W & W and it is serial number 555048 with the same decals as your #1 is it a possibility that mine is a number #1 and not a #3. Also does the needle curve go to the left?? I have mine all cleaned up just trying to get her to sew now. Thanks.
If yours has the silver plating, it is a #1. That is what distinguishes (and is the only difference) the #1 from the others. If it had painted arms, it would be a #3. The decals are irrelevant as they changed over time. I don’t understand your question about the curve. It curves neither right nor left, the curve should match the arc of the needle bar.
I noticed on the spring before the last one that you did not move it into that open gap. I’m working on a Singer 99 crinkle finish and the assembly is a little bit different but it does have the part I’m asking about. I struggled for two hours trying to get that spring into that gap and maybe it doesn’t even need to go in there because I see you left it out, I sure hope that’s the case. I’m gonna get back on the bobbin winder assembly here in a bit and see if I can get it right. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I AGONIZED for 3 days on my Singer 201-2! REPEATEDLY adjusting the needle bar height and timing, I had inserted the needle incorrectly! 🤯. Once correctly inserted, the smooth sailing began. ❤
Thank you good sir! I have a pfaff 50 with a tension problem, your video was of the utmost help. For anyone with a pfaff 50 the round pointed washer points toward the machine.
Amen! And I love the folk feel!🙏🏾 keep doing your thing and loving the art u create no matter what. I create myself so it’s a joy to see great stuff like this and support it💪🏽u got a like and subscribe from me! wishing I a great end to this year 🙏🏾
O thanks sooo much,,, because of this video i helped my mum to fix the issue of her singer.. without video it was mission impossible... so sweet of you from Lebanon!
This method is so dang effective! I tried with just a hollow ground tips on my Singer 15-91 motor mounts, and with how much I was pulling on the machine towards me and twisting, you would have laughed, or wanted to yell to stop haha. I got the right tools, and doing exactly what you did in the video the screws came loose so easy! Absolutely astounding! Thank you.
The number 1 thing these old machine have going for them is they are made of quality metal not recycled steel , oil and patients is all you need to bring them back ...
Ray I love your videos and particularly your style of teaching. It’s very helpful in educated me as to how these machines work. Love the visuals aids .
this is very well explained. One question that I'd really like to see explored is how the bobbin assembly is supported in such a way that the loop can go around it.
I hate my sSinger 201. There's really nothing mechanically wrong with it but whenever I go to use it, it acts up or behaves finiky. Overrated machine. "Rolls Royce of sewing machines" - m'eh.
Now is there any way you can adjust the tension on the metal part that says no oil wiggling it back and forth or is this the only way you can adjust the attention please and thank you for your time
Hi, I just watched your video. Very interesting. Are you saying this machine will never run again? I’m very curious. I think the red eye is absolutely beautiful!! I’d absolutely take it off your hands if I lived closer!!
This video was very helpful, thank you. I've been given my Grandma's 1940 Singer sewing machine. It kept unthreading. I dismantled the tension dials following one of your other videos with no success. After watching this video I went back to look at the little instruction book to check which way to thread the needle. I'd been threading it right to left but it should have been left to right. It works perfectly now. I would never of thought to check that without you. So thank you. X
Dude,was rackin my head against the wall,got a kenmore 148 and never thought the feed on the needle was problem til I said what the hey and got yer show first,awesome connetics,lol, thanks, nother we'll used but as of now still stitching machine kickin
Well there is the right way to do things and then there is the half assed way. I'm like you sir if imm going to take the time to do something I'm going to do it right one time the first time. Good job thank you.
For the longest time, I thought that I had lost some parts of my upper tension assembly of my Singer machine, until I watched your video this morning - and you have the same exact parts as I do in my machine. Thank you so very much for your video.
$22 / pound?!. Had NO idea! I've got 30# of frozen berries with those little stems throughout. Already steam juiced 9#'s and got 3 quarts of canned juice. Tried the dropping berries / chaff in front of a fan and got disappointing results. Best results was from washing in water and skimming chaff off (it & immature berries float), but still had some stems. Was thinking of trying a cyclonic washer ( like used for cleaning crawfish before a boil) but with a mod or two. This shaker / vac setup is the best I've seen to date... THANKS!
