Thank you so much! Ya, we love our giant toolbox turned cutting/ironing table. It is a beast, but has really streamlined our processes. Thanks for watching!
Wow. Thank you so much! Not sure about genius :) Stacey is super creative and I have a healthy case of OCD. Together we make a pretty good team I guess. Thank you so much for kind words and thank you for watching!
I just found your channel.💙 I love how organized you are and you save machines from getting scrapped. I do see you have a problem with the "collection" tho. I buy a machine and it stays forever. lol I came from a situation of both parents were WWII & Great Depression kids. Dad went to war and both grew up in the depression. They kept everything! I had a LOT to go through when they passed but I must admit I inherited their frame of mind and battle the urges to keep or collect things. Thankfully, they kept everything neat and tidy. ♥ Dads thing was model airplanes tho. 6 ft or more models! Sewing machines don't take up as much room as those do. 🤣
Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback! Ya, the things we do to make ourselves happy, right? We really enjoy the machine collecting. We are trying hard to let go of the ones that don't work, or that we can't make work, but it is hard for sure. Thanks for sharing :)
@@NeverTooMany2023 Thank you so much for showing the tables and the tool chest. My son is high functioning austistic with OCD. He loves things that move. machines in particular. He fixed my 12 year old rusted brother machine and it works but when he put the plate back on and the bobbin holder now it's nesting thread. he gets frustrated when he can't figure it out. he's tried and tried to get it in right as well as adjusting the upper tension. Any ideas we can try without spending a 50.00 trip to the local repair guy for a 20.00 machine. lol
@ That is great that your son loves to work on sewing machines. It is an art for sure :) it is hard to say without seeing it, but it does sound like you have a tension problem. If adjusting your upper tension is not improving your nesting thread then you will want to take a closer look at the bobbin thread assembly. When you pull on the thread coming out of the bobbin, it should have about the same tension as the top thread. If it is bound up, or adjusted too tight, your top thread will make a mess on the underside. Start with the upper tension in the middle setting and work on the bobbin tension. Good luck!
@@NeverTooMany2023 One more thing! It really helps seeing males working on sewing machines. It gets him past it's a girl thing. lol Thank you for that.
Thank you so much! We are very lucky indeed to share the same hobbies and interests. After 30 years together I guess we have figured it out :) Thanks for watching!
My first machine was a wonderful treadle, then I got an early White portable in wooden case. It's fun. Now have a basic modern Singer in my senior years. Enjoy your videos.😊
That's great! Sounds like a natural progression through life :) I just love treadling. It is super relaxing and makes me think of a "simpler time". Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
Wow! I love all your organized spaces! I really wish I had seen your video back when I renovated my sewing room several years ago! I love the Husky rolling tool chest idea, and the sewing table with the drawers. I love that it can be adjusted in height to your comfort level. In fact, I plan to purchase one of those for my machine within a week or so. Right now I have my machine on an old wooden desk with drawers, but have always wanted something more useful. Your closet space with the shelves and tubs for all your items has inspired me. I purchases a rack of shelves and some tubs from Walmart today and have started on the dreaded cleaning out my closet project. Thanks for these great ideas! This was just what I needed to spur me into action! I am all about useful space and organization!! ❤
That is so great! It makes me and Stacey very happy to know that our efforts are making a difference. We are super happy to help, if at all :) By far, the Husky rolling tables and toolbox from The Home Depot have been the biggest game changers to our space. They were a bit of an investment, but we have never regretted the purchase. We wish you luck on your impending organization. I have a pretty good case of OCD and that is the part that I really enjoy the most :) Happy sewing!
Wow, your hallway and sewing room is like a mini museum of sewing machines, omg!! David I have a question or two, have you always been sewing minded or did it come out of Stacey’s crafting also do you work on old machines to the newer computerized machines and if you do what is the most challenging on a computerized machine? Thanks in advance for answering, if you happen to see this. I just came across yours and Stacey’s channel today and I am loving it.
Lol. Thank you so much for the kind words. I am glad that you came across our channel. Glad to have you aboard :) Actually, I have only been in the sewing machine game for about a year. It all comes from Stacey. She is teaching me to sew as we both now sew quilts for kids for a local charity so I am trying to learn as fast as possible. My real hobby resides in the garage. I collect motorcycles and vintage cars. We just started collecting vintage sewing machines recently, but my mechanical knowledge and experience was a natural fit for maintaining and repairing old sewing machines. At this point we have over 60 machines. Only one of them is computerized and it has not broken yet, so I can't say that I have spent much time working on them. To be honest though, they would be the same basic principles as the old machines, with some wiring and computer chips involved. Replacing boards, soldering burnt connections, replacing capacitors...should not be that big of a deal. Not dreading it, just haven't had to yet. Great questions! Thank you for watching!
Oh my goodness, I have the very same white Husky expandable work bench! I just upgraded to it a few months ago. I absolutely love how stable it is and how everything I need to work on machines is easily stored away inside. Best investment I have made so far for my sewing machine business. Love to see it in another sewing room! You both are doing a great job with your channel, love how you two work together and share this passion. You make a great team!
Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words. That is great that you use the same table setup as us :) It was a hard investment to swallow, but worth every penny in our space. Love your channel as well. Just subscribed. Happy to support you! Keep up the great work. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel, love it. I wish I'd found it before I spent $6,000 on my quilting table. I love the adjustable Husky tables. I may have to get one anyway. Great job and great sewing room. Love all the quilts and especially the sewing machine wall hanging. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Wow, your quilting table must be really nice. I really love our Husky tables. They have been just wonderful. Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching!
Love the toolbox idea, its so nice to have people posting stuff like this. My sewing room could use work to add to the problem i have industrial machines as well that i work with.
Thank you so much! Having industrial machines is a problem that I would very much like to have :) I love making bags and gear for dirt biking but I really don't have a machine that will chew through all of the layers like I would like. One day... Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! Having OCD is a curse, but it does make for a really organized craft room :) Hope you are getting to create more very soon! Thanks for watching!
I recognized the Pfaff 360! That was the machine I learned to sew on. It was my mom’s, which I inherited. It runs great! I have the case and all attachments and lots of extra bobbins. I also have the original manual. She took great care of her machine and she made many (hundreds if not thousands) of clothing articles including her winter gear and snowmobile suits. I sewed all of my school clothes from sixth grade on. I wish I had room to display it in my 10x10 room.
That is so cool! Sewing machines are memory makers for sure. There is nothing better than retaining your parent's machine that you grew up with :) Think of all the money you saved making your own clothing. I really want to make my own clothing as well. I just need to gain the confidence to make it happen. I have a lot of respect for those that can pull it off. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! Ya, we have been really happy with the toolbox/table combo. They are really versatile and have improved our production greatly. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! Once we got it all in place and working we knew we had to show others how great it works out :) Thank you for watching and following along!
My husband and I both sew. Mainly quilts. But because we both have many hobbies, our whole house appears to be a hobby room…which is a problem when guests come…lol!
Lol. That is great that you both sew. Stacey sews very well. I just play a sewing guy on tv :) ya, the house does tend to get a bit crowded from time to time, but at least we all have fun right? Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. I love all of your vintage machines and it's awesome that you restore them yourselves. I would love to see more about your Viking, since it's one of your favorites. I'm a Viking girl myself. I have a 6010 and 2000 (plus a couple of modern ones). They are tanks! Wait until you come across a 2000 - that green will make you fall in love! I also have a Featherweight and a 66 Redeye treadle. That's the extent of my collection, but I do love seeing yours!
Thank you so much! Wow, sounds like you have a great collection of machines as well. Yes, the Viking machines are awesome! We are still waiting to come across a featherweight that is in our price range. Hopefully one day we will have one :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
@@NeverTooMany2023 I was lucky and got my FW many years ago before the prices became insane! I think I paid around $100, including case and all the doodads (also LOVE that you say doodads because that's what I call them too). I pulled the FW out the other day with my vintage buttonholer because my modern Viking's automatic buttonholer was acting up and I lost patience. I'm a garment sewist, but I do dabble in quilting now and then.
@@debbiecook4270 That is great! Ya, the prices of FW machines is getting out of hand. It is really mostly a novelty price. I have worked on a couple and had the pleasure to sew on them as well. They are super neat and cute but I don't see them being so superior in quality to justify the prices they are fetching. I saw a white one listed for 1700 dollars! It doesn't diminish our desire to own one...or five :) ... just have to wait until we can find one that needs a little work :) That is awesome that you sew garments. We recently picked up a thrift store serger. I have gotten as far as figuring out how to thread the thing and try it out. Stacey is a quilter and I like making bags. I really want to start making my own clothing. It is super intimidating. Full respect to those of you that can create garments :)
Thank you so much! Ya, having OCD is a blessing and a curse :) I just function better when everything is organized. I am sure your sewing space is just perfect for you, however it looks. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and following along!
I’m brand new to your channel. I love a tour of any workshop/studio/craft room etc. thx for the content. Why do you have so many machines? Do they have unique purposes?
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. It was really fun bringing it to you all. It was a year or two in the making, but we are really happy with how it all turned out :) Lol...we just love old sewing machines. We never intended to collect them, they just sort of started following us home. Once we had 30 or 40 of them, I decided to start a RUclips channel so I could share our passion with others. They really have no long term purpose. We don't sell them, we just collect them. Most of our machines are from thrift stores. We like the thought of saving them from the landfill :) Thanks for watching and following along!
Love this vlog. Thanks so much for sharing your commitment to personalising your sewing spaces so that it just absolutely works for you, for each of you. It looks amazing, and is sooooo practical, it’s awesome! I am truly inspired to keep working on mine for achieving the best possible ‘fit’ for my needs. Am so glad I happened on your channel. Thanks again, Susan in the UK x
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We are really glad that you enjoyed our tour. We are super happy with how it all worked out and we are glad to show it all in hopes of inspiring others to work out their spaces in turn. It is so nice to hear from viewers from around the world. Sewing is truly a global phenomenon. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the wonderful tour. I liked that it was practical and not cutesy. I have several vintage machines and this video gave me great ideas to set up my craft room . I finally will not have to use kitchen table.
Thank you so much! Ya, we are not really the cutesy type of folks :) I am glad that you were able to get some ideas for your craft space. I am sure it will be awesome! Thanks for watching and following along with us!
I have a dear friend in Meridian that uses the husky tables for her machine. I have been thinking about using them. I am getting a new sewing room soon. Will probably have to give up my phenomenal sewing desk my husband built for me. We got it into the basement but are pretty sure we won’t be able to get it out. Except in sawed up pieces. Oh well new furniture right! By the way I am an Idaho native that got misplaced in N Dakota January 31, 2020. I go home to Idaho at least once a year and generally for at least a month. I miss the mountains. I loved your red shirt saying you love Idaho.
Thank you so much for sharing. Good luck with your new sewing room build. I am sure you will make it come together in the most perfect way :) Ya, the Husky tables are a must! I hope N Dakota finds you well, though I don't blame you for missing Idaho. We feel extremely fortunate to live in such beautiful country. We can get in the car and within 1 hour be surrounded by lush forest and river scenery. Thanks for the comment. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Love the organization you have done in your sewing room. I use my “sewing” room as a storage for food, squash (because I keep the temperature down). I need to organize it better so I will want to go in there and sew.
Thank you so much for the kind words :) Ya, it's funny how our sewing spaces end up having to "share" with other parts of our lives. In our case, we finally just had to devote all of our extra room to sewing/crafts. You are right, it does really make a difference in adding motivation to using the space. Thanks for sharing. I know a lot of people struggle with the same issue.
That's great. It sure makes it nice for getting up and down out of the sewing station, also working in an L-shaped configuration it makes it handy for accessing both tables. Efficiency is everything!
First time watching you guys and enjoyed seeing your sewing set-up's. I just ordered a Husky adjustable 52" table with one drawer. It will go in my closet area and hold my Brother Innovis BQ3100. I've also had several vintage machines but currently only have a Singer 301A. I had to scale down when we moved from a large home in AZ to a small home in PA last year. I love vintage machines and would have more if I had room for them so I'll have to be content to look at yours. BTW...the picture of the Corvair on your computer reminded me of the first car I ever had. It was a 1962 Corvair and my parents bought it for me when I started nursing school in 1965 :) Thanks for the tour.
Thank you so much! We are really glad that you found us :) Congrats on the Husky table! You will absolutely LOVE it! Wow...if you are only going to have one vintage machine, the 301A is a beauty. It has definitely become one of our very favorites! Lol, ya the Corvair seems to be a "memory" maker. So many people have stories about them (which we love to hear). We have 3 Corvairs currently. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
This was an awesome video guys, I really enjoyed it. I’ve watched your videos before but this one made me subscribe. I love seeing how other people organise their space. I only have a cottage with limited area to store or sew, so any tips or hints for space management appreciated! 🙏
Thank you so much! It is really nice to hear your feedback :) Setting up your sewing space is so much fun and is super rewarding as well. Good luck and thanks for watching!
LOVE your space! I have about 50 vintage machines now and it’s really helpful to see how you have everything laid out and organized. I’m working on my pfaff 360 now too! Just finished taking apart and fixing the zigzag mechanism and about to start working on the embroidery unit.
Thank you so much! Sounds like we are in the same boat :) I think we hover at about 50 machines as well. I am really glad you were able to relate our space to your own. That's great that you are working on your 360 as well. The Pfaff machines are so different than the other makes. I can't wait to start taking ours apart as well. Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching and following along!
@@NeverTooMany2023 the pfaff is very different and the manual is confusing. It has taken me several days and hours just to get the zig zag mechanism fixed. I had to boil a part in water for a few minutes just to get it to come apart. Good luck with yours! Hopefully it isn’t gummed up and you won’t have to do too much to get it working.
Love these tables and tool box--going to ask Santa for all these items for xmas. Will save me having a cabinet maker do the job that I thought I wanted----thanks so much for this video
Thank you so much! I am glad that you liked it :) Ya, these tables being on wheels, being height adjustable, and all matching makes them an awesome utility choice for any craft space. Thanks for watching and good luck with Santa!
Thank you for the tour. Also OCD, but a garment sewer. Always fun when DH has to ask me for tools. Recently it was 18 inch zip ties, which reside in my corsetry bin with the large bolt cutters for spiral steel boning. Oh so many rabbit holes!
Thank you so much! That is great that you are a garment sewer. Lol...ya a little OCD goes a long way in keeping your craft room organized. We just got our first serger machine recently. I am very interested in making/modifying clothing. It is a bit intimidating but one day I will work it out. Much respect for those that have the talent :) Life without zip ties is not a life in which I would like to reside :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Thank you for the question. If you are referring to the blue stool in the first room, it is actually a drum throne. I got it online at The Guitar Center. Here is the link: www.guitarcenter.com/ROC-N-SOC/Original-Saddle-Drum-Throne-Blue-1500000149937.gc
You've given me a lot of ideas, thank you. I'm moving into the den here and it's 12x12 so I now have layout ideas and the tip on using Husky tables and a tool chest is exactly what I need, but didn't realize it until I saw how your room is configured. The design wall is perfect too! Alas, there's no closet but I'm going to get IKEA book shelves for my fabric. 🎉
That sounds great! I am really glad we were able to help you out, if at all :) I am sure your space will be awesome! Thanks for watching and following along!
Thank you so much guys, that was really interesting and enjoyable. We may be moving house soon so it's given me lots to think about for a new sewing room. Greetings from a little market town in North Wales UK. 🙋♂🙋♂👌👌
Thank you so much! We are really glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to produce. Greetings indeed, all the way from the UK :) Sewing is truly a global phenomenon. Good luck with your new home venture. I am sure that your sewing space will be just perfect for you :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
I would say get the biggest ones you can fit into your space. They are incredibly useful and more tabletop space is always good. These tables have been the biggest gamechanger for our setup. Being able to roll them around into different configurations is invaluable.
I love the toolbox. I would love to get one but my sewing room is in our upstairs and up a narrow staircase. I strongly suspect my son would refuse to haul one up.
What a team! Thank you both so munch for the tour and sew many ideas. I love doing my after project cleanup reorg. Your wonderful organisation wou ild save me a lot. Of time but I might miss the fun. I think your set up is awesome. Love from SW France❤
Thank you so much! We are a pretty good team indeed. We are lucky to enjoy the same hobbies and activities :) We are glad that you enjoyed our tour. We enjoyed making the video as well. Thanks for watching all the way from France!
The hallway is beautiful. I love that Husky storage table. I am thinking I need to figure out a way to organize my space so it's more efficient and pleasing. My room is a multi purpose room. You two make a great team, having the same hobbies. I love it.
Thank you so much! I am sure your room is awesome and you will only make it better :) We are super lucky to share the same interests and hobbies. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Your video is so inspiring. Weve thought about building a room onto our house but using your idea of layout i might not have to. My husband gave me a red tool box years ago and i didnt know what for...he is OCD and didnt like the mess. Regarding your Pfaff, my mom bought one in Germany in 1960. She sewed everything on it. I have it now but it needs some work. She had the motor worked on but they did something wrong. I see you are Idahoans, me too. Love to know where youre located, Im in Boise.
Thank you so much! We are glad to have inspired you. That was our hope in sharing our space on the channel. Ya, a good tool box can solve a bunch of problems :) That is great that you have your mom's original Pfaff. Sewing machines are memory makers and memory passer-downers. Sorry you are having trouble with it. I am getting ready to take apart our Pfaff 360 to clean and lubricate her. The Pfaff machines are really different inside. The Germans had a way of over complicating stuff. Awesome machines but a little intimidating to work on. That is cool that you are Idahoans as well. We live in Nampa but grew up in downtown Boise. Awesome part of the country :) Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. Love the video! I’m currently rearranging my sewing/quilting rooms. I appreciate your ideas. Thank you for sharing. I’ve definitely subscribed to the channel. 😊
for my design wall, I put up a huge piece of cotton batting - fabric sticks to it like glue! I did have to use thumb tacks but it has been up on the whole wall since 2012 and no need to replace
Just found your channel, fabulous ideas! Such great organization, my husband helps with all my cutting and I think he would love this set up! Interested in what you used to apply the panel to your foam board? Thanks again!🎉
Thank you so much! We are very fortunate and blessed to have such a wonderful setup. Our approach was one of efficiency, especially when it comes to cutting. when we constructed our wall board, we just used a little general spray glue around the edges and onto the back where the flannel wraps around. Then we kind of just stretched the flannel onto the insulation board. It has been a dream to use as a design and production wall. Great question. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
I just watched your channel ❤. Great ideas!! Can you share where you found the ironing mat? I loved your video of the vintage machine. My Mom left me her 401💝 it’s the one I learnt to sew on!!
To looks like my sewing room. I have two cabinets, one is a smaller one that holds my embroidery machine and a table from home depot. love the storage in the cabitnets. I had to laugh at the black shelving unit in the closet, that is where I ended up putting mine once I got the smaller husky cabinet.
Thank you so much! Here is a link to the drum chair. It was a bit of an investment but was a game-changer in our sewing room. Thank you for watching! www.guitarcenter.com/ROC-N-SOC/Original-Saddle-Drum-Throne-Blue-1500000149937.gc
❤ Idaho too! I’ve been thinking about which husky tool chest to help with organization, but not sure what size to get has kept me waiting for a decision
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you :) I actually just kind of made it up as I went along. There is no pattern. Basically, I drew up a rough sketch of the layout, downloaded clipart images of vintage machines, deconstructed each machine into layers and cut the shapes out on our Cricut machine, picked some stained glass looking fabric, sewed the machine bits on top, and basically made a 7 foot table runner out of it. I am very new to sewing but Stacey (my wife) is an awesome and patient teacher. Thanks for asking and thank you for watching!
You briefly show your RUclips workstation. Would you please consider making a video explaining the equipment and programs you use to produce videos for your three channels? Perhaps a summarized step-by-step of your process from planning a video through to posting it, and then how you follow the analytics and your viewers' interaction? As teachers in your videos, you both are articulate and have calm, straightforward personalities. I believe you could greatly help someone new to this medium.
Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words. That is a great idea! We like learning and sharing our experiences with others. There are a ton of tech channels that already cover all of the processes involved with creating a RUclips channel and producing content (this is how we learned). Not sure if the sewing community as a whole would care to watch content creation videos, but if would be fun for us to make them regardless. If you are contemplating starting a channel of your own we would encourage you to go for it. It is very time consuming and there are a lot of moving parts, but it is super rewarding at the same time. If you have specific questions in your journey feel free to email us at nevertoomanyinfo@gmail.com and we will try to help you out :) Thanks for watching!
How do you keep special feet,notions and add ons that are machine specific together? I have an Elna Supermatic,Necchi Bu Pfaff 130, 1952 White and a 221 from the 30s . Oh and a Rocketeer that was my mom’s.
Great question. If we have a machine that has its own specific doo-dads we try to keep them with that machine (given that it has its own storage). If the doo-dads are in a separate box (like many of our vintage machines), then we keep them all together in the doo-dad drawer. We sometimes keep a note in side of the box(s) denoting which machine they are for. We just separate all bobbins by type and keep them all together. Thanks for watching!
@@NeverTooMany2023 That’s what I call them too. Doo dads. Lol I am working on the Elna at present and I wish I had someone more mechanically skilled than I am. I love watching your giddiness and enthusiasm for vintage machines.
@@laurademarrais3248 Lol. I thought that "doo-dads" was the technical term for them :) It is easy to be enthusiastic about this awesome hobby. So much history, so much incredible engineering, SO MANY DOO-DADS!
Thanks for the questions. They are Husky brand tables and toolbox. They were purchased at our local The Home Depot. They come in black and white, with or without drawers, and in a couple different lengths :) Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Here are the links: Toolbox: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-46-in-W-x-51-in-D-Standard-Duty-9-Drawer-Mobile-Workbench-with-Solid-Top-Full-Length-Extension-Table-in-Gloss-White-HOTC4609BJ5M/317060709 Tables: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-52-in-W-x-24-in-D-Steel-2-Drawer-Adjustable-Height-Solid-Wood-Top-Workbench-Table-in-White-HOLT5202BJ2/311742117
I must ask, i bought a juki tl 18. It came like wet. I thought it could be condensation because is cold. And very hot in my house. Nothing inside, where the bobbin is, was wet. But it was on top of the machine. I was scared. It wasnt super wet just drops of water, what it seemed to be water. Didnt smell like oil so…. I dont know what to do. Any advice??? By the way thats how it came in the box. I still have not used it.
Great question. I would imagine that it is just machine oil that got loose in shipping. Good quality sewing machine oil does not have an odor, so it could seem like water. I have unboxed countless tools/machines for sewing, auto mechanics... that have been coated in oil to keep them from rusting. In the case of a new Juki, there is a good chance that the machine was stored upside down for some period of time and the oil from the oiling ports leaked out and made a bit of a mess. Not to worry. I would just give it a good wipe down and start sewing with it. Hope this helps :) Thanks for watching and good luck!
Thank you sooooo much for this information. I have been sooo stressed! I have been wanting to return it. So i will start using it. Would you guys make a video of it? It really would be great to know your opinions and how you use it. And see it inside. And so forth. I will be waiting patiently for the video and will be subscribing. Im a big fan of this machines. Been wanting one for so many years and now i took the serious step to buy it, seeing this situation it literally BROKE my heart. I value your opinion. Thank you so much for your prompt answer no one else has answered. Cant stress enough how much i appreciate that.
Thanks for the questions. We usually have about 50 machine on hand at any one time. Our home not very large. It is a typical small 3 bedroom home in a small Idaho subdivision. Our kids are grown and out of the house so we use our two extra bedrooms as our sewing spaces. Thanks for watching!
Indeed. We have 3 Corvairs between us. That is so cool that you learned to drive in one. We love being a part of the Corvair community. It is ALMOST as awesome as the vintage sewing machine community. So many great people. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
@@NeverTooMany2023 That is awesome! There is another RUclipsr who likes Corvairs, it's Matt's Offroad Recovery. You might enjoy that too. I would love to have another and a whole bunch of vintage sewing machines! So cool!
Great question. As of yet, we have not sold any machines. We have given a few away, but no plans to sell any. We just enjoy finding them and bringing them back to life :) Thanks for watching!
Awesome. Ya, they are great work tables. I believe that you can remove the drawers with a couple of screws. Might be worth looking into. I can see where they would get in the way of legs. Ergonomics is everything in this game. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
This was interesting. We have 5 sewing machines not being used; and for years, I have felt guilty that we are so blessed with these machines and don't use them. I just don't know what to sew anymore? I do think the video was too long and drawn out. Many mentions were re-mentioned and it was hard to understand the husband as he mumbled a lot.
Thanks for the question. Stacey has a sewing channel as well and I have a second channel where I work in the garage on my classic cars and do tool/product reviews. Please see the description on this video for the links to them. Thanks for watching!
It is fun to see all the different ways people work.
That's for sure :) Thanks for watching!
Just discovered your channel, love, love, love how organized you are.
Thank you so much!
I love how everything is just so nice and neat and put away. Thanks for the inspo🙌🏽
Thank you so much! Happy sewing!
That's a great idea with the table tool box on wheels. That's so cool.
Thank you so much! Ya, we love our giant toolbox turned cutting/ironing table. It is a beast, but has really streamlined our processes. Thanks for watching!
Congratulation guys. You are geniuos of space. God bless🎉🎉🎉
Wow. Thank you so much! Not sure about genius :) Stacey is super creative and I have a healthy case of OCD. Together we make a pretty good team I guess. Thank you so much for kind words and thank you for watching!
PFAFF machines rock! Have one exactly like the one shown!
Facts! We just love all of our Pfaff machines. They are all so well built and fun to use. Thanks for sharing!
Sweet couple dedicated to our vintage machines
Thank you so much! We really do love the old machines :) Thanks for watching and following along!
I just found your channel.💙 I love how organized you are and you save machines from getting scrapped. I do see you have a problem with the "collection" tho. I buy a machine and it stays forever. lol I came from a situation of both parents were WWII & Great Depression kids. Dad went to war and both grew up in the depression. They kept everything! I had a LOT to go through when they passed but I must admit I inherited their frame of mind and battle the urges to keep or collect things. Thankfully, they kept everything neat and tidy. ♥ Dads thing was model airplanes tho. 6 ft or more models! Sewing machines don't take up as much room as those do. 🤣
Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback! Ya, the things we do to make ourselves happy, right? We really enjoy the machine collecting. We are trying hard to let go of the ones that don't work, or that we can't make work, but it is hard for sure. Thanks for sharing :)
@@NeverTooMany2023 Thank you so much for showing the tables and the tool chest. My son is high functioning austistic with OCD. He loves things that move. machines in particular. He fixed my 12 year old rusted brother machine and it works but when he put the plate back on and the bobbin holder now it's nesting thread. he gets frustrated when he can't figure it out. he's tried and tried to get it in right as well as adjusting the upper tension. Any ideas we can try without spending a 50.00 trip to the local repair guy for a 20.00 machine. lol
@ That is great that your son loves to work on sewing machines. It is an art for sure :) it is hard to say without seeing it, but it does sound like you have a tension problem. If adjusting your upper tension is not improving your nesting thread then you will want to take a closer look at the bobbin thread assembly. When you pull on the thread coming out of the bobbin, it should have about the same tension as the top thread. If it is bound up, or adjusted too tight, your top thread will make a mess on the underside. Start with the upper tension in the middle setting and work on the bobbin tension. Good luck!
@@NeverTooMany2023 One more thing! It really helps seeing males working on sewing machines. It gets him past it's a girl thing. lol Thank you for that.
Thank you sooooo much for the tours and suggestions!!!!
You are very welcome. Happy sewing!
I’m glad you mentioned your wall hanging it’s fabulous. Great sewing rooms. ❤
That is very kind. Thank you!
Well - you two are a marriage made in heaven aren’t you! I thought I was organized, you take it to the next level. Well done!
Thank you so much! We are very lucky indeed to share the same hobbies and interests. After 30 years together I guess we have figured it out :) Thanks for watching!
My first machine was a wonderful treadle, then I got an early White portable in wooden case. It's fun. Now have a basic modern Singer in my senior years. Enjoy your videos.😊
That's great! Sounds like a natural progression through life :) I just love treadling. It is super relaxing and makes me think of a "simpler time". Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
OMG I too have many projets all going at once lol i thought I was the only one only one who gets bored easily LOL
Lol...No, you are not alone. Having lot going on helps keep you on your toes :) Good luck with your projects and thank you for watching!
Next video better be salsa dancing 😡💃
That's what I said :) LOL
Ive never seen soany sewing machines!😂 Great sewing spaces!❤
Thank you so much! We are very fortunate and blessed to have such a collection. Thank you for watching!
Totally enjoying this video 😊
That's wonderful! Glad you like the video. Thank you for watching!
Your organization makes me happy! I'd love to have one extra room to do this! 😅
Awesome! Ya, we are very fortunate to have the room for this. thanks for watching!
Love these tables.
Ya, we are super happy with them as well. They have really improved our workflow and room layout. Thanks for watching!
That was fascinating. I have one machine and a longarm. Those vintage machines are lovely.
Thank you so much! Wow, a long arm would be awesome. Thanks for watching!
Wow! I love all your organized spaces! I really wish I had seen your video back when I renovated my sewing room several years ago! I love the Husky rolling tool chest idea, and the sewing table with the drawers. I love that it can be adjusted in height to your comfort level. In fact, I plan to purchase one of those for my machine within a week or so. Right now I have my machine on an old wooden desk with drawers, but have always wanted something more useful. Your closet space with the shelves and tubs for all your items has inspired me. I purchases a rack of shelves and some tubs from Walmart today and have started on the dreaded cleaning out my closet project. Thanks for these great ideas! This was just what I needed to spur me into action! I am all about useful space and organization!! ❤
That is so great! It makes me and Stacey very happy to know that our efforts are making a difference. We are super happy to help, if at all :) By far, the Husky rolling tables and toolbox from The Home Depot have been the biggest game changers to our space. They were a bit of an investment, but we have never regretted the purchase. We wish you luck on your impending organization. I have a pretty good case of OCD and that is the part that I really enjoy the most :) Happy sewing!
Wow, your hallway and sewing room is like a mini museum of sewing machines, omg!! David I have a question or two, have you always been sewing minded or did it come out of Stacey’s crafting also do you work on old machines to the newer computerized machines and if you do what is the most challenging on a computerized machine? Thanks in advance for answering, if you happen to see this. I just came across yours and Stacey’s channel today and I am loving it.
Lol. Thank you so much for the kind words. I am glad that you came across our channel. Glad to have you aboard :) Actually, I have only been in the sewing machine game for about a year. It all comes from Stacey. She is teaching me to sew as we both now sew quilts for kids for a local charity so I am trying to learn as fast as possible. My real hobby resides in the garage. I collect motorcycles and vintage cars. We just started collecting vintage sewing machines recently, but my mechanical knowledge and experience was a natural fit for maintaining and repairing old sewing machines. At this point we have over 60 machines. Only one of them is computerized and it has not broken yet, so I can't say that I have spent much time working on them. To be honest though, they would be the same basic principles as the old machines, with some wiring and computer chips involved. Replacing boards, soldering burnt connections, replacing capacitors...should not be that big of a deal. Not dreading it, just haven't had to yet. Great questions! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing.. I hope husky realizes that they’re making equipment that is helpful to other peoples hobbies or jobs besides tools for a shop.
Lol. Ya, there's gonna be a run on Husky sewing tables now :) Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness, I have the very same white Husky expandable work bench! I just upgraded to it a few months ago. I absolutely love how stable it is and how everything I need to work on machines is easily stored away inside. Best investment I have made so far for my sewing machine business. Love to see it in another sewing room! You both are doing a great job with your channel, love how you two work together and share this passion. You make a great team!
Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words. That is great that you use the same table setup as us :) It was a hard investment to swallow, but worth every penny in our space. Love your channel as well. Just subscribed. Happy to support you! Keep up the great work. Thanks for watching!
I would love it if you'd zoom in on the tools or tables, etc. For example, I'd like to have seen a close up of the sewing tool tote.
Great ideas. Thanks!
Just found your channel, love it. I wish I'd found it before I spent $6,000 on my quilting table. I love the adjustable Husky tables. I may have to get one anyway. Great job and great sewing room. Love all the quilts and especially the sewing machine wall hanging. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Wow, your quilting table must be really nice. I really love our Husky tables. They have been just wonderful. Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching!
Im in awe with ur sewing machines collection. Amazing!
Thank you so much! We are very blessed and more than fortunate to have been able to collect so many. Thank you for watching!
Love the toolbox idea, its so nice to have people posting stuff like this. My sewing room could use work to add to the problem i have industrial machines as well that i work with.
Thank you so much! Having industrial machines is a problem that I would very much like to have :) I love making bags and gear for dirt biking but I really don't have a machine that will chew through all of the layers like I would like. One day... Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video of making the design board? I love your space very nice.
Thank you very much :) No, we did not make a video on the design wall. sorry.
I love how organized you two are! I'm not organized and that's why I don't sew or craft like I would really like to. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Having OCD is a curse, but it does make for a really organized craft room :) Hope you are getting to create more very soon! Thanks for watching!
❤ best couple ever!!! I wish my husband was crazy about sewing machines like I am ! ❤
Thank you so much! Ya, we are really lucky to share the same interests and hobbies :) Thanks for watching!
I recognized the Pfaff 360! That was the machine I learned to sew on. It was my mom’s, which I inherited. It runs great! I have the case and all attachments and lots of extra bobbins. I also have the original manual. She took great care of her machine and she made many (hundreds if not thousands) of clothing articles including her winter gear and snowmobile suits. I sewed all of my school clothes from sixth grade on. I wish I had room to display it in my 10x10 room.
That is so cool! Sewing machines are memory makers for sure. There is nothing better than retaining your parent's machine that you grew up with :) Think of all the money you saved making your own clothing. I really want to make my own clothing as well. I just need to gain the confidence to make it happen. I have a lot of respect for those that can pull it off. Thanks for watching!
Nice work. The toolbox is a smart idea. Combine it with the work tables and it’s brilliant!
Thank you so much! Ya, we have been really happy with the toolbox/table combo. They are really versatile and have improved our production greatly. Thanks for watching!
I bought a beautiful glass front hutch top to store fabric, visible and protected
That is a great idea! There is something really nice about being to see your fabric stash in all of its glory :) Thanks for watching!
The husky equipment and design board are awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! Once we got it all in place and working we knew we had to show others how great it works out :) Thank you for watching and following along!
Awww love all the hardware store ideas....tu...
That's great! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
My husband and I both sew. Mainly quilts. But because we both have many hobbies, our whole house appears to be a hobby room…which is a problem when guests come…lol!
Lol. That is great that you both sew. Stacey sews very well. I just play a sewing guy on tv :) ya, the house does tend to get a bit crowded from time to time, but at least we all have fun right? Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. I love all of your vintage machines and it's awesome that you restore them yourselves. I would love to see more about your Viking, since it's one of your favorites. I'm a Viking girl myself. I have a 6010 and 2000 (plus a couple of modern ones). They are tanks! Wait until you come across a 2000 - that green will make you fall in love! I also have a Featherweight and a 66 Redeye treadle. That's the extent of my collection, but I do love seeing yours!
Thank you so much! Wow, sounds like you have a great collection of machines as well. Yes, the Viking machines are awesome! We are still waiting to come across a featherweight that is in our price range. Hopefully one day we will have one :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
@@NeverTooMany2023 I was lucky and got my FW many years ago before the prices became insane! I think I paid around $100, including case and all the doodads (also LOVE that you say doodads because that's what I call them too). I pulled the FW out the other day with my vintage buttonholer because my modern Viking's automatic buttonholer was acting up and I lost patience. I'm a garment sewist, but I do dabble in quilting now and then.
@@debbiecook4270 That is great! Ya, the prices of FW machines is getting out of hand. It is really mostly a novelty price. I have worked on a couple and had the pleasure to sew on them as well. They are super neat and cute but I don't see them being so superior in quality to justify the prices they are fetching. I saw a white one listed for 1700 dollars! It doesn't diminish our desire to own one...or five :) ... just have to wait until we can find one that needs a little work :) That is awesome that you sew garments. We recently picked up a thrift store serger. I have gotten as far as figuring out how to thread the thing and try it out. Stacey is a quilter and I like making bags. I really want to start making my own clothing. It is super intimidating. Full respect to those of you that can create garments :)
Wowsers!!! I need to step up my organizing skills. You’re a hard act to follow. Nicely done vintage machine wall art David!!!
Thank you so much! Ya, having OCD is a blessing and a curse :) I just function better when everything is organized. I am sure your sewing space is just perfect for you, however it looks. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and following along!
I’m brand new to your channel. I love a tour of any workshop/studio/craft room etc. thx for the content.
Why do you have so many machines? Do they have unique purposes?
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. It was really fun bringing it to you all. It was a year or two in the making, but we are really happy with how it all turned out :) Lol...we just love old sewing machines. We never intended to collect them, they just sort of started following us home. Once we had 30 or 40 of them, I decided to start a RUclips channel so I could share our passion with others. They really have no long term purpose. We don't sell them, we just collect them. Most of our machines are from thrift stores. We like the thought of saving them from the landfill :) Thanks for watching and following along!
Love this vlog. Thanks so much for sharing your commitment to personalising your sewing spaces so that it just absolutely works for you, for each of you. It looks amazing, and is sooooo practical, it’s awesome! I am truly inspired to keep working on mine for achieving the best possible ‘fit’ for my needs. Am so glad I happened on your channel. Thanks again, Susan in the UK x
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We are really glad that you enjoyed our tour. We are super happy with how it all worked out and we are glad to show it all in hopes of inspiring others to work out their spaces in turn. It is so nice to hear from viewers from around the world. Sewing is truly a global phenomenon. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the wonderful tour. I liked that it was practical and not cutesy. I have several vintage machines and this video gave me great ideas
to set up my craft room . I finally will not have to use kitchen table.
Thank you so much! Ya, we are not really the cutesy type of folks :) I am glad that you were able to get some ideas for your craft space. I am sure it will be awesome! Thanks for watching and following along with us!
What a fantastic set up you guys have. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching and following along
I have a dear friend in Meridian that uses the husky tables for her machine. I have been thinking about using them. I am getting a new sewing room soon. Will probably have to give up my phenomenal sewing desk my husband built for me. We got it into the basement but are pretty sure we won’t be able to get it out. Except in sawed up pieces. Oh well new furniture right!
By the way I am an Idaho native that got misplaced in N Dakota January 31, 2020. I go home to Idaho at least once a year and generally for at least a month. I miss the mountains. I loved your red shirt saying you love Idaho.
Thank you so much for sharing. Good luck with your new sewing room build. I am sure you will make it come together in the most perfect way :) Ya, the Husky tables are a must! I hope N Dakota finds you well, though I don't blame you for missing Idaho. We feel extremely fortunate to live in such beautiful country. We can get in the car and within 1 hour be surrounded by lush forest and river scenery. Thanks for the comment. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Love the organization you have done in your sewing room. I use my “sewing” room as a storage for food, squash (because I keep the temperature down). I need to organize it better so I will want to go in there and sew.
Thank you so much for the kind words :) Ya, it's funny how our sewing spaces end up having to "share" with other parts of our lives. In our case, we finally just had to devote all of our extra room to sewing/crafts. You are right, it does really make a difference in adding motivation to using the space. Thanks for sharing. I know a lot of people struggle with the same issue.
I use a swival chair in my sewing room also.
That's great. It sure makes it nice for getting up and down out of the sewing station, also working in an L-shaped configuration it makes it handy for accessing both tables. Efficiency is everything!
First time watching you guys and enjoyed seeing your sewing set-up's. I just ordered a Husky adjustable 52" table with one drawer. It will go in my closet area and hold my Brother Innovis BQ3100. I've also had several vintage machines but currently only have a Singer 301A. I had to scale down when we moved from a large home in AZ to a small home in PA last year. I love vintage machines and would have more if I had room for them so I'll have to be content to look at yours. BTW...the picture of the Corvair on your computer reminded me of the first car I ever had. It was a 1962 Corvair and my parents bought it for me when I started nursing school in 1965 :) Thanks for the tour.
Thank you so much! We are really glad that you found us :) Congrats on the Husky table! You will absolutely LOVE it! Wow...if you are only going to have one vintage machine, the 301A is a beauty. It has definitely become one of our very favorites! Lol, ya the Corvair seems to be a "memory" maker. So many people have stories about them (which we love to hear). We have 3 Corvairs currently. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Fabulous!!!! I may have said this before, but I this video is superb! So many ideas to help me.
Thank you so much :) That is very kind of you. Thanks for watching!
I really like your dedicated toolbox. It makes so much sense.
Thank you so much! Ya, it worked out really well for us. Thank you so much :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Thank you for sharing your space it gave me a lot of ideas!
That's great! That was our hope in making the video :) Thanks for watching!
I can relate to your love of machines - I am so drawn to them, but don't have the room for any more - I have 5. get ideas for organization.
sorry - GREAT IDEAS.... LOL
Thank you so much! Having 5 machines is a wonderful sized collection. As long as they make you happy I say you are winning :) Thanks for watching!
LOL :)
Awesome sewing room and love toolbox neat idea I need that my room so limit of space, also I like her shirt
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching and following along!
This was an awesome video guys, I really enjoyed it. I’ve watched your videos before but this one made me subscribe. I love seeing how other people organise their space. I only have a cottage with limited area to store or sew, so any tips or hints for space management appreciated! 🙏
Thank you so much! It is really nice to hear your feedback :) Setting up your sewing space is so much fun and is super rewarding as well. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Love the Husky table ideas! I knew that I needed ergo tables but the idea of the cabinet + table is awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! Ya, it is really nice having matching equipment. We love the tables. Thanks for the comment. Thanks for watching!
LOVE your space! I have about 50 vintage machines now and it’s really helpful to see how you have everything laid out and organized.
I’m working on my pfaff 360 now too! Just finished taking apart and fixing the zigzag mechanism and about to start working on the embroidery unit.
Thank you so much! Sounds like we are in the same boat :) I think we hover at about 50 machines as well. I am really glad you were able to relate our space to your own. That's great that you are working on your 360 as well. The Pfaff machines are so different than the other makes. I can't wait to start taking ours apart as well. Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching and following along!
@@NeverTooMany2023 the pfaff is very different and the manual is confusing. It has taken me several days and hours just to get the zig zag mechanism fixed. I had to boil a part in water for a few minutes just to get it to come apart. Good luck with yours! Hopefully it isn’t gummed up and you won’t have to do too much to get it working.
That is wonderful how you organized your machines and materials 😊
I love supporting sewests... I subscribed 😅
Thank you so much for the feedback. We really appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Love these tables and tool box--going to ask Santa for all these items for xmas. Will save me having a cabinet maker do the job that I thought I wanted----thanks so much for this video
Thank you so much! I am glad that you liked it :) Ya, these tables being on wheels, being height adjustable, and all matching makes them an awesome utility choice for any craft space. Thanks for watching and good luck with Santa!
Fantastic space and organization.
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the tour. Also OCD, but a garment sewer. Always fun when DH has to ask me for tools. Recently it was 18 inch zip ties, which reside in my corsetry bin with the large bolt cutters for spiral steel boning. Oh so many rabbit holes!
Thank you so much! That is great that you are a garment sewer. Lol...ya a little OCD goes a long way in keeping your craft room organized. We just got our first serger machine recently. I am very interested in making/modifying clothing. It is a bit intimidating but one day I will work it out. Much respect for those that have the talent :) Life without zip ties is not a life in which I would like to reside :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
You make a good team😁
Thank you so much! We are really lucky to share the same interests and hobbies. Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love you channel & you both! Big time!
Thank you so much. That is very kind of you. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Where do you get the stool at your work station? Looks comfortable.
Thank you for the question. If you are referring to the blue stool in the first room, it is actually a drum throne. I got it online at The Guitar Center. Here is the link:

@@janhunnicutt8648 That's great! I love mine. Good luck :)
You've given me a lot of ideas, thank you. I'm moving into the den here and it's 12x12 so I now have layout ideas and the tip on using Husky tables and a tool chest is exactly what I need, but didn't realize it until I saw how your room is configured. The design wall is perfect too! Alas, there's no closet but I'm going to get IKEA book shelves for my fabric. 🎉
That sounds great! I am really glad we were able to help you out, if at all :) I am sure your space will be awesome! Thanks for watching and following along!
Thank you so much guys, that was really interesting and enjoyable. We may be moving house soon so it's given me lots to think about for a new sewing room. Greetings from a little market town in North Wales UK. 🙋♂🙋♂👌👌
Thank you so much! We are really glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to produce. Greetings indeed, all the way from the UK :) Sewing is truly a global phenomenon. Good luck with your new home venture. I am sure that your sewing space will be just perfect for you :) Thanks for watching and following along with us!
I have looked at the sewing tables at Home Depot but can’t decide what size to get.
I would say get the biggest ones you can fit into your space. They are incredibly useful and more tabletop space is always good. These tables have been the biggest gamechanger for our setup. Being able to roll them around into different configurations is invaluable.
Love your space!
Thank you so much! We are really happy with it :) Thanks for watching!
I love the toolbox. I would love to get one but my sewing room is in our upstairs and up a narrow staircase. I strongly suspect my son would refuse to haul one up.
Lol.. Ya, its a beast. I wouldn't suggest trying to pack it up stairs. Thank you for watching!
What a team! Thank you both so munch for the tour and sew many ideas. I love doing my after project cleanup reorg. Your wonderful organisation wou ild save me a lot. Of time but I might miss the fun. I think your set up is awesome. Love from SW France❤
Thank you so much! We are a pretty good team indeed. We are lucky to enjoy the same hobbies and activities :) We are glad that you enjoyed our tour. We enjoyed making the video as well. Thanks for watching all the way from France!
I have the same work table! I love it.
That's great!
The hallway is beautiful. I love that Husky storage table. I am thinking I need to figure out a way to organize my space so it's more efficient and pleasing. My room is a multi purpose room. You two make a great team, having the same hobbies. I love it.
Thank you so much! I am sure your room is awesome and you will only make it better :) We are super lucky to share the same interests and hobbies. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Your video is so inspiring. Weve thought about building a room onto our house but using your idea of layout i might not have to. My husband gave me a red tool box years ago and i didnt know what for...he is OCD and didnt like the mess. Regarding your Pfaff, my mom bought one in Germany in 1960. She sewed everything on it. I have it now but it needs some work. She had the motor worked on but they did something wrong. I see you are Idahoans, me too. Love to know where youre located, Im in Boise.
Thank you so much! We are glad to have inspired you. That was our hope in sharing our space on the channel. Ya, a good tool box can solve a bunch of problems :) That is great that you have your mom's original Pfaff. Sewing machines are memory makers and memory passer-downers. Sorry you are having trouble with it. I am getting ready to take apart our Pfaff 360 to clean and lubricate her. The Pfaff machines are really different inside. The Germans had a way of over complicating stuff. Awesome machines but a little intimidating to work on. That is cool that you are Idahoans as well. We live in Nampa but grew up in downtown Boise. Awesome part of the country :) Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. Love the video! I’m currently rearranging my sewing/quilting rooms. I appreciate your ideas. Thank you for sharing. I’ve definitely subscribed to the channel. 😊
Thank you so much! We appreciate the positive feedback :) Good luck with you sewing rooms. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
Thanks for the tour! Great ideas!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!
for my design wall, I put up a huge piece of cotton batting - fabric sticks to it like glue! I did have to use thumb tacks but it has been up on the whole wall since 2012 and no need to replace
That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
The intro♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much!
Just found your channel, fabulous ideas! Such great organization, my husband helps with all my cutting and I think he would love this set up! Interested in what you used to apply the panel to your foam board? Thanks again!🎉
Thank you so much! We are very fortunate and blessed to have such a wonderful setup. Our approach was one of efficiency, especially when it comes to cutting. when we constructed our wall board, we just used a little general spray glue around the edges and onto the back where the flannel wraps around. Then we kind of just stretched the flannel onto the insulation board. It has been a dream to use as a design and production wall. Great question. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
I just watched your channel ❤. Great ideas!! Can you share where you found the ironing mat?
I loved your video of the vintage machine. My Mom left me her 401💝 it’s the one I learnt to sew on!!
Thank you so much! I believe we got the ironing mat on Amazon. The 401 is an amazing machine. Enjoy :)
To looks like my sewing room. I have two cabinets, one is a smaller one that holds my embroidery machine and a table from home depot. love the storage in the cabitnets. I had to laugh at the black shelving unit in the closet, that is where I ended up putting mine once I got the smaller husky cabinet.
Lol. Sounds like great minds think alike :) Thanks for watching and following along!
awesome spaces
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Love your channel and organization style- can you share the brand name of drum chair? Please? Thanks!!
Thank you so much! Here is a link to the drum chair. It was a bit of an investment but was a game-changer in our sewing room. Thank you for watching!

❤ Idaho too! I’ve been thinking about which husky tool chest to help with organization, but not sure what size to get has kept me waiting for a decision
That's great! I am sure you will end up with the most perfect solution :) Thanks for watching!
Hello I love your sewing machine/enjoyed the machine banner. How did you make it on? or where did you purchase it to go?
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you :) I actually just kind of made it up as I went along. There is no pattern. Basically, I drew up a rough sketch of the layout, downloaded clipart images of vintage machines, deconstructed each machine into layers and cut the shapes out on our Cricut machine, picked some stained glass looking fabric, sewed the machine bits on top, and basically made a 7 foot table runner out of it. I am very new to sewing but Stacey (my wife) is an awesome and patient teacher. Thanks for asking and thank you for watching!
You briefly show your RUclips workstation. Would you please consider making a video explaining the equipment and programs you use to produce videos for your three channels? Perhaps a summarized step-by-step of your process from planning a video through to posting it, and then how you follow the analytics and your viewers' interaction? As teachers in your videos, you both are articulate and have calm, straightforward personalities. I believe you could greatly help someone new to this medium.
Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words. That is a great idea! We like learning and sharing our experiences with others. There are a ton of tech channels that already cover all of the processes involved with creating a RUclips channel and producing content (this is how we learned). Not sure if the sewing community as a whole would care to watch content creation videos, but if would be fun for us to make them regardless. If you are contemplating starting a channel of your own we would encourage you to go for it. It is very time consuming and there are a lot of moving parts, but it is super rewarding at the same time. If you have specific questions in your journey feel free to email us at nevertoomanyinfo@gmail.com and we will try to help you out :) Thanks for watching!
What sizes are the husky sewing tables ? The ones with the 2 drawers…
Great question. They are 24" x 52" each. Thanks for watching!
How do you keep special feet,notions and add ons that are machine specific together? I have an Elna Supermatic,Necchi Bu Pfaff 130, 1952 White and a 221 from the 30s . Oh and a Rocketeer that was my mom’s.
Great question. If we have a machine that has its own specific doo-dads we try to keep them with that machine (given that it has its own storage). If the doo-dads are in a separate box (like many of our vintage machines), then we keep them all together in the doo-dad drawer. We sometimes keep a note in side of the box(s) denoting which machine they are for. We just separate all bobbins by type and keep them all together. Thanks for watching!
@@NeverTooMany2023 That’s what I call them too. Doo dads. Lol I am working on the Elna at present and I wish I had someone more mechanically skilled than I am. I love watching your giddiness and enthusiasm for vintage machines.
@@laurademarrais3248 Lol. I thought that "doo-dads" was the technical term for them :) It is easy to be enthusiastic about this awesome hobby. So much history, so much incredible engineering, SO MANY DOO-DADS!
What brand are the tables & where did you buy them please? I want them for my sewing room.😊
Thanks for the questions. They are Husky brand tables and toolbox. They were purchased at our local The Home Depot. They come in black and white, with or without drawers, and in a couple different lengths :) Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Just discovered your channel, and I'm really enjoying it! What is the name of Stacey's RUclips channel?
That's great! Thank you so much. Stacey's channel is called richsoulcreative.
I tried searching for the toolbox and couldn't find it. Could you tell me what it's called and the sewing tables that roll.
Here are the links:

Impressing!
thank you so much!
I must ask, i bought a juki tl 18. It came like wet. I thought it could be condensation because is cold. And very hot in my house. Nothing inside, where the bobbin is, was wet. But it was on top of the machine. I was scared. It wasnt super wet just drops of water, what it seemed to be water. Didnt smell like oil so…. I dont know what to do. Any advice??? By the way thats how it came in the box. I still have not used it.
Great question. I would imagine that it is just machine oil that got loose in shipping. Good quality sewing machine oil does not have an odor, so it could seem like water. I have unboxed countless tools/machines for sewing, auto mechanics... that have been coated in oil to keep them from rusting. In the case of a new Juki, there is a good chance that the machine was stored upside down for some period of time and the oil from the oiling ports leaked out and made a bit of a mess. Not to worry. I would just give it a good wipe down and start sewing with it. Hope this helps :) Thanks for watching and good luck!
Thank you sooooo much for this information. I have been sooo stressed! I have been wanting to return it. So i will start using it. Would you guys make a video of it? It really would be great to know your opinions and how you use it. And see it inside. And so forth. I will be waiting patiently for the video and will be subscribing. Im a big fan of this machines. Been wanting one for so many years and now i took the serious step to buy it, seeing this situation it literally BROKE my heart. I value your opinion. Thank you so much for your prompt answer no one else has answered. Cant stress enough how much i appreciate that.
I agree you cant have too many!! I already have 3! Hehe
How many sewing machines do you have? How large is your house?
Thanks for the questions. We usually have about 50 machine on hand at any one time. Our home not very large. It is a typical small 3 bedroom home in a small Idaho subdivision. Our kids are grown and out of the house so we use our two extra bedrooms as our sewing spaces.
Thanks for watching!
HEY!! Is that your Corvair on the slideshow on the computer behind you?? I learned to drive on a Corvair!
Indeed. We have 3 Corvairs between us. That is so cool that you learned to drive in one. We love being a part of the Corvair community. It is ALMOST as awesome as the vintage sewing machine community. So many great people. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching and following along with us!
@@NeverTooMany2023 That is awesome! There is another RUclipsr who likes Corvairs, it's Matt's Offroad Recovery. You might enjoy that too. I would love to have another and a whole bunch of vintage sewing machines! So cool!
@@meon3wheelsThat's great! Ya, Matt has a really cool channel. So many awesome creators out there :) Thanks!
Oh yes! First question I had too!
Do you resell any of the machines you have restored?
Great question. As of yet, we have not sold any machines. We have given a few away, but no plans to sell any. We just enjoy finding them and bringing them back to life :) Thanks for watching!
I have the table you use for sewing. I actually am sorry I have the drawers. They hitmy legs. I am a short person. Very sturdy to sew on.
Awesome. Ya, they are great work tables. I believe that you can remove the drawers with a couple of screws. Might be worth looking into. I can see where they would get in the way of legs. Ergonomics is everything in this game. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
This was interesting. We have 5 sewing machines not being used; and for years, I have felt guilty that we are so blessed with these machines and don't use them. I just don't know what to sew anymore? I do think the video was too long and drawn out. Many mentions were re-mentioned and it was hard to understand the husband as he mumbled a lot.
Thanks for the input. We appreciate the comments :)
I have a wizard sewing machine it doesn’t wanna act right there’s a little door on the top. What is that for?
Sorry, I do not know
What are the other two channels?
Thanks for the question. Stacey has a sewing channel as well and I have a second channel where I work in the garage on my classic cars and do tool/product reviews. Please see the description on this video for the links to them. Thanks for watching!
Can you link the Walmart shelf unit?
