A 9 year old video just saved me from a panic attack in the middle of the night. Thank you for saving my sanity!!!!

@penyginger 2 года назад

Ive been sewing for around 18 years now. But being self taught on thrift store machines means I never even knew some of these parts are removable until now. You may have just saved me the cost of buying a new machine. And taught me what to fix on the ones I put into storage when they started causing problems. You're a life saver

@cateysue184 7 лет назад

If you have an older machine, there are 4 or 5 places that should be oiled. However, the most important thing is to remove the lint as shown and make sure that your needle is good and the correct one for your project. I learned how to sew over 50 years ago when both sewing machines and typewriters were cleaned on a weekly basis and expected to last a lifetime. My favorite machine is a heavy duty one purchased in 1973 which I still use today!

@margaretwest9533 3 года назад

Thank you so much!! My machine was making a terrible sound and oiling the bobbin area didn't help. Oiling the piston did the trick and this is the only video I've seen that shows that! Saved me!

@cmaizyb5269 4 года назад

Oh my gosh. Thank goodness I found your video. I took the shuttle race apart to brush out some lint and couldn't get it back together. Your clear photography and simple explanation helped me slip it all right back together and into place in less than a minute! Thanks, so much.

@EasySewing4Beginners 4 года назад

Oh glad my video helped! Happy sewing with a cleaner machine 🤗

@susiesue590 3 года назад

Thank you , I just bought a cheap second hand machine and followed your instructions , it was jammed up with fluff and sounding a bit rough but after the clean and oil it is sewing beautifully 😀

@EasySewing4Beginners 3 года назад

Oh lovely! Glad the video helped make your new machine run smoothly again!

@micheleruth5442 4 года назад

This was sooo much easier then reading my manual.

@EasySewing4Beginners 4 года назад

I find watching a video demonstration much easier than reading a manual too!

@daringcow 4 года назад

Agree this was super helpful.

@samanthakirkpatrick8981 4 года назад

Agreed but also check your manual for which spots to oil! Mine says to oil in the places she shows in the video but also in 2 other places not shown.

@janetcannon4562 3 года назад

I still don't know how to put the bobbin in

@nickijaycox7773 3 года назад

I know right 👍🏻

@oldtimerlee8820 7 лет назад

Another thank you to add to your collection for this video. Same story here. Inherited a Dresmaker SWA-2000. Like others took the bobbin shuttle race assembly apart & cleaned out a bunch of lint and gunk. Couldn't figure out how to put it back together, even though I was looking at their manual. Turned to YT and found your video. Within seconds, I saw what the instructions had left out! With that bit of info, everything when back into place perfectly. THANK YOU!

@iphoneartgirl6763 3 года назад

You saved me with the careful showing of the way to reinsert the bobbin casing parts! Thank you!

@lisamoore8408 4 года назад

Thank you so much! this literally could be a life saver as I’m sewing masks for hospitals due to massive shortage due to coronavirus when my machine acted up. Thanks to your tutorial, I’m back in business. God bless you from Massachusetts!

@melaniemendes3689 4 года назад

Lisa Moore that’s why I’m here... hoping this helps me too! 😷

@danetteschutz243 4 года назад

That is what I have been doing also, Lisa Moore. We are doing the same in California. Our hearts go out to you in Massachusetts!!

@youmetube246 4 года назад

Me too. My machine started making a massive clunking sound the other day. I took the top casing off and did the oil like in the video but I also dropped a bit of oil on ALL the moving parts up there. Just keep hand turning to see where they all are. It did the trick. I'm in UK and I'm sewing non stop all day long. Stay safe.

@yangchangjiang 4 года назад

I am making the scrub caps for hospital. My sewing machine is stuck. The problem is there is no sewing machine oil easy to get. So I did some research and found out that it’s same thing as the mineral oil except it is more expensive. I used soda straws to apply this oil to my machine: www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Mineral-Oil-Lubricant-Laxative-16oz-Count-1/44807472 It is food grade. Hope it helps, stay safe!

@quinlan6968 4 года назад

Same here! My poor machine was sounding clunky and jamming! It didn't come with oil so until the long awaited package came and now alexis purrs like a kitten

@choir90mom 4 года назад

Just found this as I’m dragging out the old machine to make masks. Your instructions for doing this simple maintenance may help me love my machine again...thank you!

@shallyngriffith1056 Год назад

Thank you for speaking slowly and clearly! Easy to follow in real time.

@emaleamiller5223 11 месяцев назад

This is a great informative RU-vid! Thank you. I received as a gift a much older Janome Gem and use it when camping - a girl has to do what a girl has to do. Learning how to care for it will give me many more quilt tops and relaxing trips.

@lindsaychamberlain2929 8 лет назад

Thank you so much. I decided to clean and oil all my machines for the start of the new year, did fine with the top loading machines. then diss assembled the first front loaded one, had a good look.decided I would remember how to put it back together, then promptly forgot how to put it back together!! Thank you so much. it went back together like a dream, nice clean and well oiled.

@oldestmozzy7179 3 года назад

Thank you for this informative tutorial. My Janome is very similar to the model in your tutorial but the user manual for my machine makes no mention at all of cleaning and oiling. Keep up your simple and easy to understand instructions. I think they are very helpful, especially for those who do not have English as their first language.

@briannawalker2273 2 года назад

These were the exact steps I needed to fix my jammed machine--simply needed a good cleaning! I have a singer fashion mate sewing machine & this method still worked! Thank you so much for saving me time & money 🧡🧡

@veronicafarrell6676 8 лет назад

This video was just what I needed. I took out the shuttle case and didn't know how to replace. I was lost until I saw how it was done. Now I also know how to oil the machine.THANK YOU!.

@CS-td1nn 3 года назад

😅 I recently got my first sewing machine and I removed the shuttle part completely - I did it without even looking at the instructions and I was genuinely concerned that I had broken the machine because I just couldn't get it back into the slot that it came out of and it was slipping around in my hands with old oil on it lol I am going to oil the machine properly now that I know how to put it back together if I remove the wrong thing 🤣😅

@G97508 4 месяца назад

First time I've ever bothered to do this, my 15 year old sewing machine is so grateful, thank you for making this easy to follow!!

@lillypink6397 6 лет назад

You are life saved. I never knew half of what you have shown. Thank you so much :D

@nk3850 17 дней назад

This video has answered questions I didn’t even know I had! I have a Janome suv1108 and although I’ve practically memorized the parts of the manual relating to operating the machine, I’ve never even glanced at the maintenance section. Thank you for this extremely well done video!!!

@pumpkingirl4229 4 года назад

Thank you, now I know how to oil my machine that I haven't used in years...Stay Safe Everyone..✌🏼☮️😉🌈🦋💐🌻❤️🍀

@metric98kas 2 года назад

Omg thank you so much! I truly appreciate it for making this video simple and straightforward... My sewing machine is making a clonking sound and I am not sure what it is but for what I think it is it’s the top part the one you made this video of.. You are a life Saver. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

@JoanneHeming 3 года назад

This tutorial has been a life saver! I have been unable to find a manual online for my sewing machine (for quite some time now) and it was literally by chance that your video popped up. I've cleaned and oiled my machine, thanks to you! And I've subscribed to your channel :)

@jaynestanfield 7 лет назад

Great video. I like the way you clearly and concisely explain each step. I was fiddling around with my hook race assembly for ages before I found this. Thanks.

@0610lactic 3 года назад

Very helpful video, thank you! I clean my sewing machine like this for the first time, can't believe the amount of dust and fluff got stuck inside. I could barely roll the right handle, and after clean it even without out oil, it's so smooth now.

@cakedoow9509 3 месяца назад

My sewing machine is over a decade old and I thought that was the end of my sewing relationship but then I realised it’s never had a service, your video is the only one I understood… I gave it a proper clean and oil. the amount of gunk and lint fluff that came out, could have fed a small village if it was edible. It is also the only one that showed a visual that I could follow along with

@naziyat 8 лет назад

your video just saved my life ( accidentally opened this bit up in my mums machine and we didnt know how to put it back together) - thanks a lot for the video!!

@naziyat 8 лет назад

Now theres another issue; the new needles that I bought don't fit into the needle hole despite both the old and new ones being 90/14. The old one was slightly thinner so fit in easily.. but I don't know how that is possible considering they are both 90/14..

@joyhingston40 8 лет назад

Thanks, this was a great help. My daughter and I enjoyed learning how to extend the life of our machine.

@stephboilard 4 года назад

What a fantastic video!!! Everything was explained so simply and efficiently. thank you. I now feel much more confident with maintaining my machine!

@oliviachristian1216 Год назад

This video was super helpful! Very clear both in the camera angle of the machine as well as in the steps and explanation, thank you! ❤️

@CynJ1171 8 лет назад

This was exactly what I needed! The manual for my 15yr old Singer is really vague in the pictures as to where to actually apply the oil in the bobbin area. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!

@EasySewing4Beginners 8 лет назад

Glad I could help 😀

@kimjones8824 3 года назад

Thank you...it was time to break out the machine which was long overdue to oil. Heard a squeek the other day and found your video. Great tutorial n visual on the job showwomanship

@nancydrew666 3 года назад

I love you so much!!!! My machine just needed some oil for the horrible squeaking. I was so sad. Thought I had to take it to get repaired. Thank you!!!

@maplelassuk 6 лет назад

Excellent tutorial and exactly what I needed for my grand daughter's Janome machine. I struggled with the hook race and ring falling out and couldn't figure how to put it together, this is very clear. Great maintenance tutorial too, thank you.

@McSnicker55 3 года назад

Thanks to your video I fixed my sewing machine. It's a Singer but it is identical to the Janome in your vlog. Thanks MUCH!

@miat789 8 лет назад

That was sooo good, I had some thread caught and it’s a borrowed machine, so I was too scared to touch it, you gave me the confidence, I think there was more lint than machine!

@samanthasmart9 2 года назад

@andreeajurcovici6531 2 месяца назад

Hello,Your video is very awesome, like: showing in detail where to put 1, 2 drops of oil, and the most important you care to be clean your machine sewing. I am following you with dear because I saw the way you present your works and I always will learning from you as beginner in sewing.

@vintagethings9187 6 месяцев назад

All great thanks. Top tip in general is to either photograph bits before you take them off, or keep them the same way up when you put them down. Good luck.

@violetta40 6 лет назад

Thank you. Now I finally understand where to oil in the bobbin shuttle area, because I could never figure that out before I was going in the wrong place, LOL

@kathyhicswa6666 7 лет назад

I have a different model of the same brand. I had used the manual to do a cleaning, it was difficult to figure out. This video did a nice job! You also show where the oil goes for the bobbin assembly, the manual was too ambiguous. An arrow point into mid air was what the diagram looked like to me. I agree with another peron that showing how to reassemble the machine would be helpful. I also liked the idea of keeping the screws in the faceplate.
