Mine is really REALLY dirty... It was left for 2 generations with no upkeep. I did, at my moms advice use a damp papare towel ... 😬. Will it ruin everything or should i be fine? I made sure to dry it really good almost immediately after wiping it down. Also- fun tidbit about mine, my great grandfather added wiring and a new footpedal to make it easier on my great grandmothers ankles and knees! Its going to proove more difficult to reatore, as im not sure its safe to use, but I love that mine is unique!

When I’m winding the bobbin i find that it’s catching underneath creating a loop. How do i stop that

So helpful! Just picked up my first featherweight so excited but needed to hear these helpful tips. Thank you for taking the time to share this.

I see that Blue Creeper now has one specifically called SMO for sewing machines - do you know if it is the same as the original?

My clear coat has been removed from my FW...can you guide me on how to save the paint and decals(which still have clear coat)?

My bobbin will not wind on my singer machine. It locks up and stops. Cannot find any help for this

Need some help. How to adjust the tention and stitch length. In this model.

Great series, thank you! 6:20 - This 'spring' washer is called a CUPPED WASHER FOR BOBBIN WINDER. The Featherweight Shop online sells one for $6, so pricey washer. It is concave or cupped so it gives you some springy tension. Same type is used on the extension bed or wherever you have some tension needed. The scooped out cup side must face a certain way, usually toward the machine.

This just happened to me 🤤😓

How do you control the thread? It doesnt thread evenly or unevenly the whole time

What if you don’t have the plastic guide for 1/4 “

Thank you for Sharing your experience.

I have my Grandmothers featherweight from 1948. My mother who had it first never did any maintenance, so I oiled all the ports and put grease in the motor and it works great. I always get confused about which way the bobbin thread is supposed to go clockwise (comes up from the left side. I really love this machine and it sews a much straighter stich than any new machine I've used. I even free motion quilt with it!

Thank you! I guess I'm an irresponsible sewing machine parent, because I didn't even know this was thing until it fell out and I freaked out. Now, it's all good again.

for the inside where i should put oil to make the parts work smoothly, can i use bicycle chain oil?

I had a fabric jam in my Brother FS155 which ultimately meant my needle hit the bobbin case. I took my machine in for service and got a new bobbin case and new needle threader. However the quiet running that the machine had when I first got it is gone. Even after changing the bobbin case, It still sounds like the needle is hitting something but I can't tell what. Do fabric jams cause some misalignment of sorts? What can I troubleshoot to fix it?

Your first tip solved my problem! I couldn’t figure out why it was punching and now I know! Thank you, thank you!❤

I replaced the bobbin case. The new bobbin case is still jumping to the right.

Thank you Hun.😊

Good talk

TY. I look forward to working thru your program.

It's not. Catching the bobbin thread.. 😢

Are you still doing this?

Hello from Yuma AZ! Excited to hear what you have to chat about.

Hello from NY .. pleasure to be here!

Hello ,is it to late to sign up for the mini. Courses. I am saving for full but would like to start in the range I can afford

O my gosh! I've done everything in the book and watched RUclips videos of how to get my stitches right, i was ready to send her to the shop. But then i saw your video. It saved me. I had a hole in my bobbin case. I put my extra one in and bam fixed! Now I can finish my brother's quilt in time. Thank you so very much.

Thank you very much for sharing.

I tried to signup but it said this was only for a private Facebook group

Will the thread stay that darker colour?

Thank you, my 301-A the tension isn’t right I’m going to clean it up…

Just found you, what a treasure!

Thanks!

THANK YOU!

I'm using a tex 40 bonded polyester thread in my juki n my juki bar tacker. The thread is constantly unwinding, un twisting n shredding. Will this oil trick work for that?

I have a 1950's White, Model 670-794, with a knee pedal. The pedal to machine cord is fine, but the machine to wall plug cord has come loose and I can't find where to reconnect it. Do you have a video for that? I haven't used this machine in years and am getting ready to have sewing students in my home.

Your video sucks!!!!!!!!! You are worthless!!!!!!!

Girl! You saved me a ton of time. I had removed the plate to clean it. Then, bam, ! The machine was messing up, and all because of that little groove thing. I would of never in a million years ever figured that out! You are my hero!!

Good morning maam..how about the bobbin case went out when I start sewing

I am interested in learning sewing machine servicing for myself and family sewing machines. How can I get information to register?

I am just learning all about the Featherweight machine and if available, would love the hand out. Thank you

What do you do to "fix" the eccentric screw if the screw is always loosening up and not keeping the position bracket in a stable position??
