    Thank you for showing me how to get my machine apart. Without you, I might not have succeeded. Thanks for sharing.

    Well done. Clear and concise. Just got one from a friend whose mother is no longer using it. But I couldn't figure out how to get the cover apart. This is a big help!

    Thank you for the Video. It was just what I needed. The instructions were hard to read online. (Bad eyesight). You really help me to feel more comfortable in maintaining my machine. You are the greatest. I just subscribed and looking forward to your great teaching.

    I'd love to see a video (or just hear suggestions) on what NEW machines are made to last forever and have a metal frame, if there are any. I'm still sewing on an old Featherweight 221, and if I invest in a new machine, I want one built to last.

    I was just gifted this sewing machine today. I haven’t used it yet, but it hasn’t been used just in a box for many years . Seems to be working Great. Taking it apart seems intimidating. Exactly what areas do we need to oil and can you show us how to put the clip back on the dial or putting it back together after taking it apart

    This video was helpful. But was difficult to see where to oil the berrings with your hand in the way in all but one spot. Not trying to be critical, just an observation when I was trying to figure out where to put the oil. I hope I got it right. My big problem was the needle hitting the foot and metal plate. Took me quite a few hours, but finally figured out where the adjustment needed to be made. Perhaps another video showing this might be helpful to others. Thank you for the video!

    @clarajohn6662 4 года назад +1

    Thank you. You explained how to get the covers off easy.
    The threading portion is breaking the threads. I rethread it from the beginning, than the thread breaks again. I changed the universal needles ten times on 50 face mask. What is wrong with the sewing machine? I still have enough patience to undo the whole machine and oil it.

    • @SewingMachineRepairGuy
      @SewingMachineRepairGuy  4 года назад +1

      Make sure you have good high quality thread and make sure the tension is set in the middle.

    After watching your video, I am pretty sure I probably ought to oil my machine. I have a brother xl 2600i . In my 200 year old singer I used 3in1 oil. Do I need to get a different type of oil?
    We have moved 5 times in the last 3 years and my machine has been moved into and out of 4 storage buildings. Would I be better off taking it in and having it professionally cleaned??

    • @SewingMachineRepairGuy
      @SewingMachineRepairGuy  4 года назад

      For the oil, my favorite is Tri-Flow. There is a link under the video. Also, if you are not comfortable doing a full cleaning, then yes a professional can help.

    I have had this machine for many years - want to say at least 10. I only used it about once or twice a year. I suited me for basic sewing repairs. My mom started using it to sew masks and could not seem to get the tension right. Thinking it needs a service but those are pricey $90. Some suggest replace, but then not sure what model to replace. Brother XM2701 is only $100 on amazon but I am not sure it is as good as this one. What are your thoughts?

    Oh, I never realised these Brother sewing machines had no metal frame at all. It’s a very cheap mechanism. Are Singers just as bad?

    • @johnkelly60278
      @johnkelly60278 2 года назад

      I think Singer don't skimp out on metal for the frame of the sewing machine. Sewing machines are made with precision and the metal frame is important these days where they're made mostly of plastic.
