@@MistyAlago I agree! I always wondered how people could find such great things at the thrift store. I live in a rural area. Our neighboring towns aren't highly populated. So, when I found these, I was shocked at the odds of finding a donation like this. I think it was probably was once in a lifetime because I haven't found any more yarns like these since. 😃 AKA Nora Knits seems to find some nice thrifted yarns pretty often. I wish you the best, and hope you find a beautiful thrifted yarn stash soon. Thanks so much for watching!

@@robertslugg8361 That's great! Thanks for watching, and happy sewing!!

@@knittykatstudio Snagged it for $20 and a nice carry bag for another $5. Looks like everything needed was there in the accessory box. The real challenge will be resisting the White 499 for $25 that was sitting next to it. First things first. That will be another mission for another day. Still reveling in this victory. ;-)

@@robertslugg8361 Nice!!! Just a warning...sewing machines are soooo addicting! 🤣 But, it sure sounds like you scored. Keep me updated because I love to hear about thrifted machines. I picked up a Brother for $5 a while back. It's spool holder is encased on the front left side. I've yet to try it out. May need to do another video on that one. Enjoy your sewing machine! Happy New Year 😃

@@marktreski9957 I'm not sure because I don't see much info on the internet about this model. If I were to guess, I'd say mid to late 90's. Maybe 1997?

Thank you! I've never worked with resin before. Your snowman project sounds like it will be so nice. 😁

@@kathybrisky Yes!!! Thanks so much for watching😃

Is your machine second hand, or have you owned it from new? I do find it strange that the needle moves while filling the bobbin. Maybe it's a "VX" model thing...lol! Thanks so much for watching! 😀

@@knittykatstudio I got mine new and I was surprised the needle moved while loading the bobbin. I think it may be a VX thing also.

@@24kandis I don't have this machine anymore, I gave it away. So, I cannot tell you if there is an adjustment screw or dial for the pressure foot on this machine. Some machines have them, and some don't. Is your tension too tight or loose while you are sewing?

@@knittykatstudio too tight, the fabric will not pass at all when the foot is down

If you've tried changing the stitch length to a long stitch and loosening the tension, then I'm not sure. Are your feed dogs moving, grabbing the fabric? It could be that the feed dogs are not pulling the fabric.

@@doloresvlog134 You're welcome! Thank you for watching, and for your comment. 😊

@@wwedivawannabe1070 I think you'll love sewing on this machine. It's simple to use, once you get used to it. My advice is to practice often, and even when you make a mistake you're still learning. My seam ripper and I are good friends 😆 Thanks so much for watching my video, and for commenting. Happy sewing!! 😃

@@sshirleyks That's wonderful!! You're going to love sewing with yours. If you get a chance, check out The Featherweight Shop online. They have just about everything you need to care for your featherweight. 😊 Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and for your comment.

I would try to unplug it, then plug it in again. It could be a glitch in your computer panel. If not, you may need to take it to a repair shop. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching!

@@amandastarrcain2205 that's so awesome!! Happy sewing to you and your daughters😊 Thanks so much for watching!

@@bettychamplin8751 Thank you!! 😃 I appreciate your comment and for watching.

@@MelanieFromCanada Yep! As long as it all lined up, it sounds like a good little machine! Thanks for watching, and happy sewing 😃

@@DorisRheuport Wow!!! That's awesome 😁 Thanks for so much for watching and for your comment.

Wow! That's really strange. Maybe the reverse button is stuck? I'm not sure what else could cause that, unless it's internal in the wiring. I would not recommend opening the sewing machine and trying to fix it. It would be better to have a professional repair person look at it. I hope you get it figured out and can get back to sewing!

@knittykatstudio Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, it is right, I will not open the matchine. I was wondering if I could fix it by pressing any button.

@@shamsunnahar6899 I'm not in front of my machine at the moment, but usually the reverse button is pushed in and will reverse for as long as you push it in. Once it's released, it should go back to sewing forward when you push the bottom button to sew. You can try unplug it and then plug it in a couple of times. Not sure if that would help or not.

@knittykatstudio okay, I will try this way. Thank you very much for replying me. I will let you know.

@@shamsunnahar6899 yes, I would like to know what you find out. 🙂

@@stacyrobbinsI agree! Thank you so much for watching, and for your comment! 😁 It made my day!

@@williammcook8423 thank you for the advice, and for watching! 😊

It can be so disappointing when a good find doesn't work. I found a Janome platnum gem and it was adorable! But, I couldn't get it to work. You just never know until you try though. You had a nice one in your closet though! Enjoy it! Thanks for your comment and for watching 😊

I still use this machine and I love it!! Thanks so much for watching !

Great advice! You're lucky to have one of these nice machines. I posted a short follow up video of it working, and I really love this machine. It was a good find, and worth the money I put in to fix it. Thanks so much for watching, and for your helpful comment. I'm sure it will help others too.

I agree!! These little machines are amazing. I took my time, researched, and after a year I finally found the one I wanted. 😀

@@knittykatstudio living in Utah they are soooo hard to come by. But one of these days I will run across one that I love and can afford!

@@Str8eeth yes! I couldn't find any local to me, except for 1 and it would have needed lots of work. I finally decided to search online even though I'd rather see it in person. When looking, check the seller's rating, check the pics carefully, the serial number, and if the seller will accept returns. Don't be afraid to ask for more pics or video of the machine sewing if you're interested in buying. I was blessed to find a great seller.

Thank you! I'm so happy to have this little beauty 😊

Thank you! Yes, she seemed to be in good working order, but until I was able to change out that hot light bulb and use the proper grease and oil I didn't want to use her. I ordered a tune up kit from the Singer Featherweight Shop, which, shipped pretty quick. So, today I got started 🙂 She's oiled, her gears are greased and she has a new bulb (cool and bright) I've put on a new super belt and it's soooo grippy. I replaced the bottom foot cushions and felt cover for her oil drip pan. I love her! She sews beautifully😃 I hope a name will come to me soon, but hmmmm Shelby is cute!! I know, we never seem to call out pets their given name. My little Isabeau is starting to answer to Bee-bee 🤣 No idea why we started calling her that, but it's just one of her many nicknames...lol. Your little buckets sound adorable! You have to send a pic so I can see them when you're done. Our daffodils have bloomed and my some of my wildflowers have popped up. Happy Spring! 🌷

Thanks Lily! 😃

You're so right about the feet! Plus youtube videos showing how to use them. I'm sure Marcia treasures Grandma's Singer ❤️ These old machines are such a treasure. Thanks so much for watching! I think I need to come up with a name for her next...lol😁

My Pfaff is named Athena the godess of stitches.

@@bjkruse-ml4ov Oh my! That's a great name!

I'm still deciding on a name. I'm going to clean and work with her a bit. Maybe a name will come to me 😊

That's so awesome! I'm so happy this video was able to help you. This is such a sweet machine!! You're lucky to have one. I would have loved to have kept this one, but I gave it to someone that wanted to learn how to sew. I just can't keep them all as much as I would like too 😉 Thanks so much for watching, and for your comment. ❤️

@@knittykatstudio, I just did a rescue of the very same sewing machine. I tried to find a manual, but had no luck. Then I decided to try my RUclips page and found this video. Just finished watching it, and your video answered all my questions. Thank you for this video📠🥰

@@robertsteele704 I'm so happy to hear that! I feel that this is a really good machine. Happy sewing ! 🙂

Thanks T!!!❤ Yes!! These pretty little machines, (as many of the vintage Singers have) quite a history. I've wanted one of these for a few years, but have been seriously looking the past few months. Finally, I found one I really, really wanted. 😊 Thanks so much for watching, it means so much to me my dear friend❤

@@knittykatstudio I love watching your videos and I am so happy you found such a beauty!! The scroll-face is so elegant, so you! You have come so far and are so helpful in explaining everything. Even for us scaredy-kats! I love the LED light idea, to keep it all cool but give excellent lighting. And it works!! That sound!! I swear feelings come back from hearing that sound. All good and warm. I know you are going to make some gorgeous works of art. Congratulations again my dear friend. Thinking of you always! xoxo

Awww, thanks again, T. ❤️ You should grab a machine and give it a try. No need to be scared. It's so relaxing to sew...seriously! Even when I mess up and have get out the seam ripper, I just grab a cup of tea and have a seat. 😄 I usually learn by making mistakes in everything I do. Whether it's sewing, knitting or painting I've learned so much by jumping in and screwing up🤣 Thanks again for watching me as I try to work my way through the making of my channel. 🥰 Hugs!!

Oooh! Nice 😃 I bet yours is a beauty. Yes, I love using a vintage machine. I like my new ones, but love my old ones. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. Happy sewing!!

I don't have this machine because I gave it to someone who needed one. But, I think there should be a black button right in back of the presser foot. You press that and raise your presser foot and it will come off. Then, align your zipper foot below, and drop your presser bar to attach it. I hope this helps, it's tough to explain. I learn better watching, and I am sure there are a few videos out there that can show you. Thanks so much for watching!!

I don't have a cover on this machine or a computer. It's just me directly in front of the machine and my camera is looking over my right shoulder.

@@knittykatstudio it’s the wrong video , I made a mistake, it’s on the Janome machine you bought for $15.00 dollars.

@@revecarodriguez709 Oh, okay. Yes, that video was not "flipped" in the editing process so it's opposite of what it actually is.

Yes! Beads just seem to give each tassel a bit of personality 😁 Thanks so much for watching and for your comment.

Yes, after re-threading and removing the cone nets it worked! Thanks for the advice and for watching! 😁

Happy to say, I did get it working. I made an update video that I posted after this one. I love second hand machines because of the lower cost, and good quality. I've learned so much from watching youtube videos and from facebook groups on the care and repair of some older machines. The fb groups are great, because you can post a pic or video showing the issue you're having with your machine. Usually someone can help or explain how to fix it in the comments. Thank you for watching and for your comment. Happy sewing!!

Thanks for watching, Lily 😁

I just got it going! Yay😁

Nice find!! Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. 🙂

Yes! This machine makes me happy 😄 Thank you for your comment and for watching! 😊

I'm sorry you're having trouble with your machine. Do you think it can be repaired? You can take it to a repair shop, or if you're comfortable you can open it up and see what's going on inside. I found a hand needle and thread caught inside the handwheel, of a Brother machine I thrifted. After I pulled it out it ran fine. You never know, but it really is a good machine if you can get it working. Thanks for your comment and for watching my video. 🙂

Thank you!

No, I didn't know Juki made sergers for Bernina. Sounds like it will be a good quality machine then. That's nice you still have your Bernette serger and it's still going strong. Gives me hope for this one 😁 I've just received one of the spool holder parts and I should get the other one in a couple of days. I'm excited to get it going. Thanks so much for your comment and for watching!

Hello! Thanks for your comment and for watching 🙂

Yeah, you never know with thrifted machines. It's a risk you take, but sometimes it's really worth it. Thanks so much for your comment and for watching!

I agree there's nothing like vintage machines! I have 3 singers from the 50's and one treadle machine from the early 20's, but it needs to be refinished. I enjoy computerized machines, but there's something very special about a vintage machine. 🙂 Thanks so much for watching!!

Thanks! I'm determined to learn how to use watercolor paints 😁

That's a good idea. I'll open it and see what's going on in there. I bet it's pretty gunked with old oil. Thank you for the info and for watching! 🙂

I'll have to try that! Thanks for for your comment and for watching 😊
