- If you’ve already got one of these, I’ll help you to at least get started sewing.
If you’re contemplating buying one of these, I wouldn’t recommend doing that.
But you say, they only wanted $5 plus shipping.
That’s because the knowledgeable buyers didn’t even want it for five measly bucks.
That’s what a brilliant sewing machine detective would call “a clue”.

This video has been very helpful! Thank you very much!
@@candiced4826 you’re welcome and thanks for watching. 😎👍🏼
Your honesty is SOOOOOOOO refreshing.
Refreshing to some, maddening to others.
I catch my share of flack for exposing the flaws in sewing machines that some folks have.
No one wants to be told that they made a bad buying decision.
It really hurts their feelings.
@@ronalddevine9587 thank you sir. My only agenda is to help out some folks.
Working on one right now, totally agree with your assessment! Also the reverse “button” broke on it.
Thank you for putting the video up!

Hi Randy , This demonstration is hilarious 😂 keep up the good work!
I saw a similar Singer model at the thrift store over the weekend. I was wondering about it. It was only $10, but I passed it up because I thought about your advice before. I couldn't open it to check if it had metal internals without a screwdriver. I guessed that it was probably like the outside. I didn't think of using a dime at the time.
Randy, you made me grateful that I don't have a soup sandwich sitting in my closet taking up space. 😅
If it’s a plastic shrouded Singer, Brother, or Husqvarna, it’s a soup sandwich buffet.
Information is a powerful thing for a bargain hunter. 😎👍🏼
What a gut laugh I had this afternoon watching this ! Your so absolutely correct!
@@ninjananagardner7672 you and many others as well.
I guess the whole thing looked good on the design board, but in actuality, not so much. 😎👍🏼
I inherited a 9018 from my mother. I always used her old machine (from the 60's) until it was dead, then an as old one from my mother in law, then a 100 year old singer manual shoemaker machine, then an electric one from a tent maker, about 50 years old. Never had problems. Used them to fix tents, bike seats, car upholstery etc.This 9018 is almost not used incl everything. I live on a boat now, it is compact, it was my late mothers so this is the only one I kept.
I spend 3 hours getting the bobbin in and trying to get the wire out, exact by the book (I think) and no luck. Watched some videos from singer. Last summer I used it the first time and then it also failed, a temporary neighbor did it for me and it took her some time too but it worked. Sadly the bobbin was empty, so now I had no choice.
Indeed, you are right, the old Singers were a lot more easy to use.
@@pa4tim 😎👍🏼
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 Stupid me, turning the wheel towards you seems to be counterclockwise. I turned clockwise like I did on my industrial machine. Now it is pretty easy.
My mother got one of these new (upgraded (?) from an older Singer) and I got it when she died. (The older one, 3 numbers, starts with 6 or 7 I think, are still around somewhere).
I did everything "right" but winding the bobbin only worked halfway! 🤯
Now I'll redo it from the beginning and hope that it works.
On your advice, I won't sell it, I'll park it in a closet and get another machine!

Thank you. Very ² helpful. I forgot how to do this after 10 years.🤭🤭🤭. Thank you Thank you thank you
@@zubaidahbintiibrahim5380 you’re welcome 😎👍🏼
Thank you for your honest, clear, easy to understand instructions. I love your style!! Thanks again!!
@@jessicadrees7315 you’re welcome and thanks for your kind remarks. 😎👍
Hello. Thank you for this video. I bought singer for second hand.
I want to know how to adjust positioning bracket at bobbin area for thread clearance? In my machine, positioning bracket doesn't has a screw on it.... Could you please guide me....
@@Shubha-224 just pry it slightly with a small screwdriver. Open the gap a couple millimeters. These machines are notoriously hard to get functioning reliably. Find a better one is my recommendation. It will be a constant source of frustration. I have 472 videos and most of them recommend awesome, inexpensive, reliable sewing machines. Good luck 🍀
@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 Thank you so much 🙏
Yes!! I see potential in it and trying hard to fix.... Hope I can do it 🤞
I wish I had come across your video before buying it 😂
@ 😎👍
Brilliant. I'm trying to help my french friend resolve her issues with her singer harmonie 200. Can't get the machine to work. Really impressed with your video!
@@lindaramshaw3277 thanks for watching 😎👍🏼
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 I will be subscribing. Lol vex your no nonsense practical approach and appreciate your sharing your wisdom and expertise. Thank you!

Thank you, I will be happy if you can explain how to change the sewing foot stroke . Thank you 😅
@@ana7932 I’m not sure what the sewing foot stroke is.
Do you mean the stitch length?
Do you mean the feeder timing?
What type of machine is it?
Great video! But i have a question. I have this exact model, given to me from my mom and when I try to load the bobbin, it wants to wind on the bottom instead of inside. Is there a way to fix this?
@@leannkitchen8154 check the slot on your bobbin case where the number one is imprinted on the bobbin case. Take a small ( tiny) screwdriver and spread that gap open so the thread will slide into it. Looking at your bobbin case like it’s an old school clock, the slot and the number will be at the 7-8 o’clock position. Just rock the tiny screwdriver back and forth and the slot opening will widen.
Thank you, I’ve acquired one from my aunt. Now I know :)
@@deblineker 😎👍🏼
I been wanting to learn how to sow for a while and I finally got my sowing machine just to find out it’s one of the hardest ones for a beginner 😂 but I do have a question, dose the quality of the thread matter? I got mine from Walgreens and every time I try to thread it brakes. I don’t know if it’s because I’m doing something wrong or because it’s bad quality..
@@x0mwahh an improperly installed needle is more likely the problem. You might try turning your needle to the correct position before sewing.
need advice, i was given this machine for free and have never sewn before but i am determined. followed your steps to a T but when i get to pressing the pedal to wind the bobbin it will not wrap around the bobbin, it gets caught across the top and bunches up instead
@@maddynicole4046 open the gap at the lower left of the bobbin case.
Usually you’ll see the number 1 there.
Put a small (tiny) screwdriver in that gap and open it up a little.
The thread is supposed to slide in at that opening.
If it’s doesn’t, you’ll discover why that machine was promptly discontinued and never returned.
Hi Randy,
Thanks for making this video.
I have one and I totally agree with you. It fights you all the way. I bought it for novelty as a collector because it has the wacky bobbin winding system and the air pedal.
It’s horrible to sew with, very loud and occasional drops a stitch. Tension was always difficult on it too.
Really not nice to use at all.
I appreciate your supportive comments.
As a collector, you can put it on a shelf and it can add to the conversation about the “brilliance“ of the Singer company.
Thanks for watching. 😎👍🏼
The Singer Sewing machine model is 9217.
Why after changed the bobbin and started sewing, the thread is bunching up on underneath the fabric?
@@alexnharry 1) not threaded correctly
2) oversized thread (must be all purpose/dual duty)
3)bobbin not wound properly
4)thread accumulated under the bobbin case
5) any one of many other illogical reasons
My suggestion:
find a Kenmore, front load, 158 series sewing machine.
Buy it.
Live happily ever after.
Good luck 🍀
Wonderful. It's like an I.Q. test.
Quite possibly an excellent comparison. 😎👍🏼
LOL. My 6268 winds and threads the same. PITA, for sure. I do like the excellent low-speed control it has, though. That's the only reason I keep it... well, that, and it came with all accessories, it does sideways patching, and it would be difficult to sell... 😀
😎👍🏼
I’ve threaded it several times now. But as soon as I press the pedal, the thread breaks. Can you help me? I’m really frustrated.
@@jessicakuhn9987 make sure the presser foot is in the up position.
I was gifted a singer 9500, and the bobbin is all screwed up, I would like to know how to fix it.
If it was in front of me I could readily fix it.
I can’t do it virtually.
There are too many variables in the process. Sorry about that.
Thanks for showing us this one, it looks like it would have a good selection of stitches, which may appeal to me, but just seeing the bobbin and its unique size would definitely be a no thanks for me. How the heck did they make such a wonky machine?
Singer never met a wonky system that they couldn’t love.
That’s why they went from number one in the world, to whatever colossally low ranking they are now.
Prior to the 70’s they were absolutely awesome as a machine manufacturer.
After the 70’s, not so much. 😎👍🏼
What machine do you recommend that will take you from beginner to advanced. Would you please name those machines.
Look for my videos on the Kenmore 158 series machines that are front load, 15 class systems.
I recommend all of those.
Classic Singers are the 201,301,401,500,600 etc.
I have 428 videos to choose from.
Most of them are recommendations for classic, well made, “machines for life”.
I’m trying to do this. But the thread go under the bobbin I Already clean, take apart all the pieces and nothing. I bought this in mint condition for 10 dlls. I know why. I opened the #1 gap, clean for all fur or dust. Change bobbins, change spool thread. I don’t know what more to do. First for all put in the case and take another machine with a conventional bobbin. I have a thing with sewing’s machines. And I bought when I found a cheap one, clean everything to look like new and let stand in the basement. This is was my last acquisition. And was with me for little projects. But. Now that the time for winding bobbin it’s come. I can’t do anything, 😔, time to go to te basement and take the old one. Maybe when the time passes I’m going to give another chance. Because I can’t sell this now I know the problem.
I’m having the same problem with the bobbin. Did you ever figure it out?
@ no, i have the same problem. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Those bobbins look a lot like the Touch and Swear bobbins, which were garbage. The entire machine looks pretty useless. 158-1941 it ain't.
It’s not useless.
You’re discounting its value as a doorstop. 😂😂
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954
LOL 😆
I inherited this machine and have hated it since day one! I have to look up constantly how to spool the bobber and such since I don’t use it much.
@@gladysorama I understand.
These machines are an acquired taste, like liver and onions on an anchovy pizza. 😂😎👍🏼
