An absolutely stunning paint and color scheme, and OMG - I remember our long talks about the physical condition and the mechanical problems that machine had when it arrived... Jen, once again, you are a wizard! Simply marvelous what you were able to do with that crunchy basket case. I, for one, am wicked impressed! Bravo! And to Marie: Once again, your artistry blows me away... Great job, and congratulations to all! I'm proud to call both of you my friends!
Thank you Bob! Couldn’t have done it without you! Marie…she had a hard job. The primer used by the previous painter was really hard to remove. You can see it still on the rock shafts, I couldn’t get it off. So glad that my customer will enjoy sewing on this machine now!
This is the other Bob on the west coast you knock this out of the park. And your videos and presentation as always the best Thank You.
Hi Bob! Hope you are well and thank you for being such an encourager to me!
Wow my three favor RUclipsrs collaborating in a beautiful sewing machine is amazing and thank you ❤ for making the world more beautiful by making these machines sew again they are amazing ❤
Aw, thank you!
Enormous respect how you did this!!
Thank you! I didn’t do it alone, that is for sure! It was an adventure :)
Hello Jen, grâce à votre vidéo, je réalise tout le travail accompli pour ressusciter Minnie. Je mesure votre patience, votre dextérité, votre savoir-faire. Vous êtes extrêmement méticuleuse. Bravo, mille fois bravo pour ce sauvetage qui a transformé une machine bonne pour la casse en un petit bijou. Il faudrait que nous, les humains, nous réapprennions à réparer et embellir afin de limiter les déchets et sauvegarder les matières premières et notre planète. Je suis dans les starting-blocks en attendant que Minnie arrive à la maison. Encore bravo et merci mille fois. L heureuse propriétaire de Minnie.
Thank you Maryvonne, you are too kind. We were happy to rescue Minnie for you!
I’m happy for you to have successfully completed this challenging project. She’s a beautiful machine that runs so quietly! Wowsers!
I am so happy for you!!! Great job!
Love your detailed video of re assembly! Marie did a bang up job with the cute paint job!
Thank you, yes she did!
Oh my goodness, Jen - what an astounding piece of work. She really does look as good as new, and sounds fantastic. You, Marie and Bob make a stupendous team. Mission Impossible, made possible - and then made real. Take a bow, all of you... and a few curtain calls. I hereby declare that the JMB Team is Minnie's Fairy Godmother and she's off to the ball!!
I would be be so interested if you ever got another 222 cross your path that you take apart, work on, and put back together again. I have one tucked away to work on one day (probably when I retire) and know that the type of videos you do would give me the confidence to give it a go. Almost like a knit-along, sew-along etc, except it would be a 'machine-along'.
Thank you Megan! It was rewarding to finish and I can't take all the credit. I love our little sewing machine community, it's full of helpful and generous people. I can say with 100% certainty I will be doing more on the 222k in the future...I have one being shipped to me now, shhhhhhhh. :) It will be mine until I am finished with it and then I will probably sell it but not before I make some videos with it!
@@SewingMachineRehab My lips are sealed...😶
What a great machine! You & Marie make a great team!
I am so blessed to have Marie!
That is so great to see her back together! You did an amazing job partner 😊😊
Couldn't have done it without you!
Spectacular, Jen!! Minnie looks great, but that’s not what impresses me most. You’ve tackled a project that came to you as a wreck, and brought it all back. Basket cases like this one are the most challenging and also the most rewarding. Give yourself a big pat on the back - you deserve it!
Thank you Bill! I really didn’t know if it was salvageable. Marie gets a big pat on the back as well, couldn’t have done it without her! It was a fun project that I just tackled a little at a time.
Wow, incredible work on this 222K, loved the detail and explanations, best i have ever seen, thank you!
Wow, thank you!
I would love a 222k. I have 3 black 221s and one White!! Loved them. They sew beautifully!’
This has got me on the hunt for one! That sew/darn feature and the free arm…❤️
It is so nice to see such a well done video on such a now beauty of a rare machine. Great Job.
Thank you very much!
You are amazing. I am new to 221 refurbishment. I did my first one following your videos. Thank you sooooo much for teaching me to restore my 221 at a price I could afford. 😊
Great job! I am so happy the videos were of help to you, that is exactly why I made them :)
I am absolutely amazed at your work! I would love to apprentice under your mastership. So very impressive!
Wow! Thank you!
Wow! It’s beautiful! ❤️🤍❤️
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful looking and great tutorial...
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful
Thank you!
By the way, your sweater is awesome. I'd like to knit one like that for my daughter.
I wish I could knit but not sure when I would have time to learn. The sweater was from Amazon and around $30 USD. I have it in three colors because I love it so much! Haha! It’s great quality!
Good morning! Once again your wonderful technical skills and clear, well paced- not to mention charming- teaching style are timed beautifully. (You truly are a refreshing delight to listen to and learn from.)
I just purchased a 222K from a charity in the UK. It is in fairly good shape considering, but had a problem with the little lever that raises and lowers the feed dogs not moving, though I was able to easily removed the lever and the plate. It looks like the machine has been taken apart in the past given the condition of many of the screw heads throughout the machine...the one that holds the cover below the free arm was truly a nightmare, given that it was nearly stripped, but I finally was able to remove it. (Heat, Kroil, finally Kerosene, Chapman gun screwdriver set, and a very light weight hammer...)
I used Kroil throughout, and with the little feed dog lever finally tried flooding the area with Kerosene (which has been the last resort, but frankly the only thing that has worked for me in the past with truly frozen machines, like a beautiful MOP Wertheim Superba "D" whose every moving part was completely encased in oil 'shellac"!). Also loosened the screw that you showed in your video that is reached through a hole under the balance wheel. Watching your reconstruction I decided the little "slide block" you mention at minute 8 on your video might be the issue. Finally tonight it gave way! Would not have had any idea what to try had you not shown and explained how you put "Mini" back together! Bless you!
Yay! So glad I had something that could help you and congratulations on fixing your problem! Happy sewing!
Wow.
She is gorgeous and this was so informative. I wish one would fall into my lap to keep and give a makeover too. You and Marie are a great team, and Bob as well. I hope your customer takes a video of her/him opening it. What a thrill.
P.S. I have a project back on the counter again. Thanks so much for sharing.
I had a thought as you were putting that fork back in. Can you use tape or a rubber band to hold those pieces together until you get it in place? Then you just cut the rubber band and pull it out? Just a thought. Still you make it look so easy. Be well.
Thanks Terie! That is a good suggestion, I will have to try that next time. I can't wait to see what your new project is, hope you film it!
After the recent eclipse…is it just me? Or, is anyone else seeing dots??? 😮🥰
I got to watch it, with special glasses of course. :)
When did you add the badge and 222k number on the front? They weren’t fitted on initially then when you flipped it over after installing the first two rods and it was there?
Good eye! I filmed this over a number of days and didn’t film every part. I stopped to put on the badges while I was noodling out how to move forward, didn’t film that part. A little movie magic I guess?
