Thank you so much. Watching your tutorial has helped me clean and grease my machine correctly. Now, it's running much more smoothly and quieter.

You're welcome! I'm glad that you found the video helpful. 😎

Thank you, Hacks by Dad. This is truly helpful. Thank you also to those who discussed the brand of grease they use (Lucas and TriFlow) since the label on "Dad's" grease was illegible.

You're welcome! Thank you for the feedback... much appreciated!

Short well explained video. I bought mine about 2 years ago and its time to oil and cleaning it. Thanks for sharing.

Dig it!! Thank man!! I didn't want to keep applying force pulling my side off, because it just felt like it didn't want to give, PLUS I have the stupid foot tension knob (6800C HD) sprouting out the top so i am like, do i unscrew it off? Then i was like, MEH, maybe not. I was at one on it, so i screwed it down to four, pulled like you and detached no problem. Again, YOU THE MAN!! Thanks! I may throw one up since there isnt any SINGERS with the foot tension knob out the top I could find. Short and sweet vid!

@HacksbyDad 3 года назад

Good to hear! Cleaning, greasing, and oiling my sewing machine made a huge difference. The sewing machine is so much quieter now.

@ZeeZeeTope 2 года назад

I just got this machine and was thrilled to find your excellent video! Thank you so much, I know I’ll be referring to it as I clean. How often do you recommend a cleaning? There is no Milage counter, so…I’ve never really known a rule of thumb.

@HacksbyDad 2 года назад

To tell the truth... I grease and oil the machine when my wife tells me that it is running louder. LOL. I dust the bobbin case when I change bobbins and notice large clumps of dust. Hope this helps. Happy sewing! 😎

Is the lint coming off the qtip ok in the gears?

@Mary-ty6pz Год назад

Did everything and now my machine is jamming 😢 don't know if I got the bobbin case back in wrong, can't find a clear picture of how the bobbin case is situated. Help!

@gunwantsachdev 3 года назад

Thanks for wonderful video but not clear how to fit bobin back?

@jojosewist8921 Год назад

Is there nothing we need (at least clean,)to do on the top front section behind name and model area? Or will it not come off? What about a drop of oil in the hole (mine has a piece of felt type msterial in there, and I do know I am not to remove that when cleaning, but does it get oil? Thank you.

@HacksbyDad Год назад

Sorry, I'm not sure of the area that you're referring to. I would look at the sewing machine, but I returned it back to my mom several months ago.

@JohnBau Год назад

Great vid, thank you. A Singer HD machine is one I'm considering, and it appears to be much easier to oil/maintain than a comparable Brother or Janome. I assume the 4411 would be the same as the 44S internally?

@HacksbyDad Год назад

Sorry… not sure. I’ve only touched the 44S.

@JohnBau Год назад

@@HacksbyDad Just FYI, I ended up getting a 4411, and it is identical to your 44S inside. Definitely runs smoother and quieter after a grease/oil job.Thanks again for the clear, concise video.

@HacksbyDad Год назад

@@JohnBau Good to know! Thanks. 👍😎

@julien6123 3 года назад

Hi. The motor does not get oiled? My motor seems to smell a bit when I start to use it. Could it be because I hadn't used it in awhile?

@HacksbyDad 3 года назад

Sorry... I’m not an expert in this area. I don’t think the motor needs to be oiled. If the smell continues, I suggest taking the sewing machine in for service. Thanks for the question.

@helenagardavski7522 2 года назад

I have the same problem, could you please tell me how you fixed it, if you did?

@KS-sd3ih Год назад

Hi, this is so helpful. Do you have a specific brand of grease that you recommend? thanks

@HacksbyDad Год назад

Glad to hear that you found the video helpful. Sorry, I don't have a recommendation. It just so happens that I had an old container of all-purpose grease in my garage.

@beckyhart9499 2 года назад

Great video. What is the name of the screwdriver tool you use to remove the bobbin case? I can’t get those screws undone and that tool looks like it would give good leverage.

@HacksbyDad 2 года назад

Thanks for watching the video and for the question! That's an offset screwdriver. Below is a link to an inexpensive set that is available at Amazon with good reviews.

I'm having trouble getting the top cover off after taking out the screws. Is it just tight, I don't want to break it.

@HacksbyDad 2 года назад

Sorry… I’m not sure. The top cover on my machine came off easily. Do you have the same model 44S?

@tammyreynolds3699 3 месяца назад

What is name of all purpose grease you use please

@HacksbyDad 3 месяца назад

Sorry... I don't have the grease anymore and don't remember the name.

@khalilbeamon 3 года назад

What brand of grease did you get?

@HacksbyDad 3 года назад

Sorry... I don't know. It is just what I found in my garage and the label is unreadable.

@Michael-iu1gv 3 года назад

bearing grease will do the job, go to home depot and look for the “lucas heavy duty bearing grease”

@gerriehallas6549 3 года назад

Tri-flow grease works great for sewing machines. I started restoring vintage machines about a year ago and was having trouble finding the Singer brand in the tube (Singer calls it lubricant instead of grease for some reason, it's really just grease. Marketing maybe?) Tri-flow also makes an oil that works better than Singer sewing machine oil.

@davinskimac8351 2 года назад

I can't get the top cover off.

@HacksbyDad 2 года назад

Sorry… I can’t think of a reason why the cover won’t come off. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@davinskimac8351 2 года назад

@@HacksbyDad Me, either. It is a singer 44s. I tried to pry it but could not. Thanks for the video. I did the other areas.

@nvonf 2 года назад

@@davinskimac8351 I have the same machine and had the same problem as you but figured it out. There are a couple plastic clips that need to be disengaged. When looking at the back of the machine, they are on the top portion that he removes. On the bottom edge of that top portion right next to where it says "singer", you have to push the edge of the top portion back relative to the bottom portion to disengage the clips. Then it will lift off as he shows in the video.

@davinskimac8351 2 года назад

@@nvonf thank you so much. I tried several times and gave up. I will follow your advice and let you know if I succeed!

@davinskimac8351 2 года назад

@@nvonf hi. Thank you. I can’t do it. I have taken everything apart several times according to the manual but end up at the same place. It won’t give. I will try to find a service store.
