Another excellent video. I appreciate that you take your time when speaking, and provide clear pictures that show exactly what you are speaking of. I have a beginner sewing student who is Spanish speaking, and your videos are still very helpful because I can provide interpretation for her, since I am an interpreter practitioner. One laugh that you gave me, in a previous video you said “the lightbulb went on,” and I rewatched that portion of that video many times, because I thought you were referring to the lightbulb on the machine. LOL I have of course, interpreted this idiom for my student, and she too, had a good laugh. Again, great videos.
Had my mother’s old Singer machine from the 60s. It finally died in 2004 - I literally finished my last project on it by turning the hand wheel manually to get it done! It was hard letting it go but no one would touch it for repairs. After watching this series, I wish I’d kept it just to give it a go myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for doing these videos. Not only are we learning on how to repair our machines but I see we are also seeing scriptures as well. God bless you!
❤I have a Kenmore that was a gift from my daughter that was giving me problems...by listening to your videos I finally found the problem...fixed it in about 2 minutes😂works perfectly..ps the machine gave me problems lol not my daughter...thanks
I found a janome 805 old sewing machine and because of your lessons I was able to fix it.
The rubber wheel was touching belt and it would not wind bobbin, wouldn't stay ingaged.
The tension was off.
Needed oiling.
I followed your steps and now my $20.00 machine is running great.
Many Thanks, my success is your success!
I have watched all 5 of your videos and am in the infancy of starting to repair machines. I may do this for others in the near future. I loved your series and found a lot of great advice and think you ought to put you bloopers in ALL of your video sessions; they are fun to watch and help me to learn even more...
Thanks and keep up the great work. Looking forward to your new series.
Thank you sooooo much for showing your videos. I dropped my Brother CS6000i sewing machine yesterday. When I turned on the sewing machine it gave a whirring sound but no power to sew. If I turned the wheel manually I noticed that I could still sew a straight line and a quilt stitch so sewed manually until I ran out of bobbin thread and couldn't wind bobbins. Thanks to your video, I was confident that I could take the cover off and remove about 9 screws and detach 2 computer plugs. Once opened, I could see what that the belt was not where it should be which was the problem. I was so ecstatic to repair my sewing machine which now works with power again. Thanks for saving me from further frustration but mostly the money that I would have had to pay someone to fix and the long wait I would have had to get it fixed.
Thank you so much for making this available. I appreciate so much your experience and clear explanations. I'm looking forward to watching new episodes. Thanks again.
Thanks so Much !! Great information ! I've been sewing for 50+ years and now my first time trying to unfreeze a vintage Kenmore 158-00130 that I recently bought. I'm determined to get it going And I'm much better equipped to tackle this after watching your 5-part course!! Wish me luck!
Thank you for the education...and the scriptures. I watched all five tutorials. I didn't take pictures but I did tape the screws to the holes I took them out of.
My "Huskystar E10" malfunctioned and with the help of your tutorials I was able to fix it.
Thank you so much! I'm like you, people give me machines because they know I sew and I'm fairly mechanically inclined. Our nearest sewing repair shop is an hour away, and my 10-year old Brother had never been serviced, was making some grinding noises, having massive loops on the wrong side of the fabric. I used a different video to figure out how to take it apart, cleaned and oiled everything, and discovered that the arm that holds the tension disc open when the presser foot is up was not closing when the presser foot came down. It had popped out of place. I have no idea how this happened, but got everything realigned and reassembled and I don't remember when it's sewn this good. Thanks for the great content! Now back to sewing!
Great job! So glad you figured it out, that is not an easy thing
Your 10 year old brother is very lucky. Mine had to have his appendix out last week. Oh wait …
Your channel is awesome! Can’t thank you enough. Tremendous efforts to put together all these precious videos! Two thumbs up.
Thank you so much for your videos! Thanks to you, a problem I had with my Singer Futura (that I had tried to repair for a week!) is now up and running!!! I am so glad I found your site!
Another good source to get at least gears for older machines is, using a 3D Printer. I really mean it. You can find the STL files for nearly every type of gear out there, with ease. And if you want to, you can even design custom ones. And with cuurent Printers you can even create replacement belts, that are of higher quality then the original ones. - Never stay still, always learn new things.
Excellent information. Thank you
Thank you for the videos, they gave me the courage to do some work on my sewing machine. It still isn't perfect but after a new part comes in I think it will be on track!
Hi! This series have been very helpful. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Blessings
You are an amazing teacher and your solutions are great 👍 thank you 😊
Thank you so much. I made a boo, boo. I loosen the screws on the cam instead of the timing gears. I was trying to set timing. What do I do now?
Thank you very much for your videos, I learned a lot, I live in France, no French technician, will do tutorials to explain how people can clean and adjust the timing on the contrary they hope that people come to their place to clean and adjust their machines (without repairs), for the price of about 90 dollars for electronics and 65 dollars for mechanics. I'm going to train on my little machine, in case my other machine has a problem, I'll know what to do!
I have a husquarna designer se ( embroidery). My machine is from year 2005/ 2006. I am from the dk. I have a big problem. My machine won' t turn the needle up and down when I use the pedal and automatically. The needle turné up and dpwn when I turn the wheel manually on the side ot the machine. Therer is no problem and no bad sound when I turn the wheel manually. Can you maybe tell me / troubleshoot what the issue or problem can be. Thanks for such good videos you are making. More of them 👏😍
Hi, I have a sailrite machine, and once or twice on a run of stitches I get a loop on the bottom side, the top and bottom stitches look good other than the odd looped bottom stitch, please help, looked at the timing and needle position, and is perfect.?
Thanks for these videos. I clean my machine every time I finish a project and now you have given me the courage to take it apart and really clean it. I found your channel because I have a Husqvarna Viking Jade 20 and it has always pulled to the left. It in a table that is level with the machine. I hav sent it in for service twice and I was told I need to use stabilizer when I sew. Is there an adjustment I can make?
Hello, thank you so much for making this series of videos, that was very useful information and I finally understand my sewing machine! I do have a question though: my Singer 96k (actually two) both have a shorter revers stitch and the manual I have suggests to adjust the needle bar timing but is not very descriptive of how to adjust it. Actually there are two questions:
1. What is the reason for the reverse stitch to be too short and
2. How to adjust the needle bar timing and/or
3. Adjust the feed dog timing
Thanks for your videos! My Singer 2273 motor works and the needle works, but threads are not stitched at all. Would you have any idea for the problem?
I have a bernina 1230. How do I take the outer shell off. I want to be able to replace the belt. I'm pretty mechanical and have been having fun cleaning and tension adjusting.
I enjoyed your video tremendously. My problem is I have a Viking Husqvarna 500 and when I push the pedal it’s almost like the pedal it’s not working it. It works a little bit and then it stops. What can I do to fix it.
Quite informative video. Thanks for uploading.
My machine got knocked to the floor. The needle doesn't go into the bobbin case to catch the top thread, apparently the shaft is just slightly moved or out of whack or bent. It's not a big deal as I have a new machine coming on Monday. I just was hoping it could be fixed to let my daughter have it.

Hi Wes ,first off thanks for uploading your videos to share with us . I have a used 1475 cd bought last Year April but I have never used it as I kept having a nagging feeling something was off & one day I got the courage to at least try to do a short test- run on it sure enough my hunch of something being off were confirmed ,it stitch 3 to 4 straight stitch & the needlbar really jerked to the left were it followed by a sudden hault ,& I went on a Facebook group & one of the members concluded that it could be due to a linkage problem , so I was wondering if you had any way to fix this issue & if you could do a video on how to get this issue fixed ?.
good job
What about when it's working fine and then "ka-chunk!" - it quits working and the motor won't engage? My wife thought it was the foot pedal. Indeed, I took it apart, and one of the capacitors was blown. Easy day, swapped out the pedal; but, the sewing machine still won't engage. I intend to take the machine apart tomorrow, knowing nothing of sewing or its gizmos. But, if you have any advice that would shorten my time under the hood, I would greatly appreciate it. She really needs this machine to prep for a special event at our church this weekend, but if you're busy, I understand. The model is a Simplicity SA1600. If you know where I can get data on parts or fittings, I would be very grateful. Currently, I cannot find anything online, in as much as I've had time to do so.
I watched your whole series plus some. Very helpful for the uninitiated but mechanically inclined, as myself. I appreciate it. If nothing else, I am less ignorant of mechanical things. But, I would like this machine to function. Thank you in advance!

I have a janome 419s, and it's my first machine I've ever owned. Do you have any tips or videos on troubleshooting the machine for thread entanglement and thread breaks? It was serviced in December of 2020 and never used until a few months ago. I gave up on using it because I couldn't go five seconds without the thread snapping in the middle of the machine and even went as far as to changing the type of thread I was using. I've been hand sewing since.
i have rethreaded the brother gs3700 so many times, keep getting a mess at bottom of material.. noticed when i pull top thread while lifting adn dropping the presser foot there is no change in tension of thread... what could be the issue??
I just came across your website and I have a question I have been thinking about. I was looking at a Juki MO 644-B and could not figure out how to raise the main feed dog. Thanks in advance if you could share some information on that.

Thanks so much for your great videos. I have just bought a janome sewing 525s bought it for $40 usually $300 plus here in Australia we pay a lot more for machines. When I was cleaning it out there was a lot of yellow grease around the inside in the right. What would cause this? I tried to clean it out as much as I could. I haven’t yet oiled it and powered it up. Is there anything power wise that could cause troubles, the power cord is in tact. Cheers from Jodie from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 look forward to watching more of your videos.
Can you help me with a Singer FUTURA II MODEL 920 that has a horrible noise when operating...not involving the bobbin area...but within the machine? Thank you for any response. I can't even get the top off the machine.
What about when the shuttle thingy with the hook isn’t spinning at all? My needle is going just fine but the thing with the hook (the shuttle/driver, whatever it’s called) won’t spin at all. I have a singer zig zag model 457. What do I do?
Hey ,I am having problems with my brother's sewing machine .It sews 1 stitch and does not sew anymore stitches , error 6 comes on the screen. I need help .
Donna.
How doI reset the Feed dogs on a Brother LS14 Sewing Machines?...Thanks
your videos are helpful, 1 question, 2 of my machine just halt after a couple of stitches, seems like theres just no power, i'm guessing the motors for those are shot, any advice?
I love the bible verses 😄 very lovely ❤
I took my Singer 9980 machine apart to clean it and a spring fell out. I can't for the life of me, figure out where it goes. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with tension. I didn't think of taking pictures until I had already taken it apart.😢
Wow! Years and years ago, my cats knocked my old sewing machine off the table onto the floor. I haven’t used it since, but I haven’t been able to let it go. Maybe I’ll pull it out, and see if I can repair it. I still have all the parts.
Wow! Thank you so very much!
Hi: I have a Brother SE 400. I. Having issues with the backstich. The machine broke the needle when I press the backstich feature on the machine. Sewing machine shops are asking almost $400 to repair the machine. That's was the cost of the machine 10 years ago. It's not worthy for me to pay this amount of money. How can I fix this machine? How can I find whats wrong with the machine?
Singer sonata running fast by itself with out foot pedal ? I just paid $200 a few years ago to have an overhauled don’t know if I want to put any more money into it is there a simple fix ‘ thank you
Great videos! Thank you!
I have a 1998 singer machine that has a reverse knob on the right front you push in for reverse and also for a button hole. I turned the knob for button and I heard it make a noise now it won’t make button hole or go in reverse and doesn’t sew without noise. Help, got any sushestions?
My Necchi 535FA machine's pedal has those graphite dice inside and seems like they wore out over the years, which means I more than half a pedal needs to be pressed in before the machine even starts to move. Adding more discs would fix the problem. Do you know where I could possibly get these discs/wafers?
Thank you
P.S.
Thank you so much for your videos!!
Thank you 😊
Love your videos. My singer SEQS gives error 09. Suspect pressure foot sensor. Where is it located on machine? Where can I purchase it? Thanks
Thank you for all your hard work. I pray God will bless you and keep you safe. Where do you get the bent screwdrivers? And is there a special name for them?
still all of the instruction videos seems to bypass the problem i have. the needle is zigging while in the material and still zagging while it's in the material. i seen on the timing video about hook timing and i thought it said that zig zag timing is associated with hook timing, yet i can't see that, my hook timing is ok the machine is 2662 singer. feed dogs might be acting weird, but it is consistently missing the timing of the zig zag stiches, all of them. so the stitch looks like a wimpy nearly straight zig zag. can the belt cause out of timing for that? like did it skip a tooth on the belt drive gear cogs, they seem to be slow for the needle entry. most of the zigging and zagging occur after the needle goes in the fabric. can anyone pin point the area to retime the zigzaggin motion in basic high school english? at first the machine worked fine (i found it and another singer on the curb, the 2662 has everything plus the manual and looks fairly unused but it was breaking threads and the drop in bobbin had a lot of slack from the bobbin holder moving around and up and down, i adjusted that and it worked great for a month, then slowly the zig zag thing occurred, more and more. i'm reluctant to "oiling every thing," yet i know the manual would say not to oil anything just to get you to get service intervals from dealers. everything looks well, grease on the gears everything is smoothly moving. even the zig motions only it's zigging in the material. thanks if you can steer me anywhere!

I came here for 'check and repair your thread' issue on my nv180. U showed it in this video but I need the solution please. It's driving me nuts and no reliable repair shop in my country. Please help me
Hi thanks for sharing your skills, I am trying to get an old Pfaff working that I was given, the timing looks OK but the top thread keeps snapping, it doesnt seem to throw off from the hook maybe foul on the bobbin case. should I try replacing the hook & case as a set then I would have a matching pair?
My mothers sewing machine actually stopped working. I bought a new machine and loaned it to my sister. Getting it back, it's not working the way it used to. Now what do I do? Hand sew?

What can I look at if the needle is sewing but the material is not moving forward
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!! I have a Janome HD-1000. I was in the middle of a project and my foot pedal stepped working. I unplugged it and let it rest. The following day I plugged it back in and turned it on. The light comes on but nothing when I press down on the pedal. I purchased a new pedal thinking that the pedal was the problem. Unfortunately it's not the pedal because I have the same issue with a new pedal. I know the machine is getting power because the lights come on. The machine is not sending the power to the motor. Well that's what I'm thinking. Anyway adhesive would be be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Gracias hermano
I need help finding parts
Hi! I am hoping you can help me. My machine needle is being prevented from going down. I removed the bobbin assembly and the needle is being stopped by the innermost section as it turns. Can this be solved by adjusting the timing?
Hi Wes, I have a SE400 brother sewing embroidery machine. I have the error F05 speed sensor. Do you know anything about these and where the speed sensor is located? I have tried looking everywhere even brother people didn't help :( I have an singer 115 Its a working machine and I love it! My neighbor gave it to me :)
We have a Husqvarna that we cannot get the bobbin assembly out. Why are the screws so tight.
HELP
Can you address the feed and it’s timing more? My favorite White machine has a feed issue and there’s no repair manuals anywhere! I can’t figure out where to adjust it.
You got me into the ballpark, but still... Nobody will fix it cause they don’t have a manual, they want to sell me a new machine. A plastic one, to replace my aluminum bodied, 1amp wonder. Eww.
Hey Wes , stumbled across you as needed. Don’t we all?
I’m looking for a repair manual husqvarna 145C tribute. I will gladly donate handsomely if you can help
Please advise!
Thank you Bro!!
My cat knocked my sewing machine on the floor, it’s a brother the plastic is cracked and in some places broke. The machine works fine as a bobbin winder now but wont even turn on with the presser foot if trying to sew. I have removed the back and everything looks okay to me so I don’t know what else to look for. Do you have any ideas?

Hello Mr Sewing Machine Repair Guy - Question: Turn the wheel of the machine toward you from the top down only - Myth or true please?
i see he loves these by the heart stamp, but does he respond to you in private, or only if you're a patron???
I have a Singer 2638 (purchased in 2003) that will only sew a straight stitch. I can turn the stitch selector, but it doesn't change the stitch. Hhmmm.

Just wanted to say that I love how you put Bible verses in your videos! Casting a net even while working on sewing machines!🙂
It’s a shame that so many people are turning away from our savior Jesus Christ. It’s nice to see someone trying to bring people back into His grace.

Why not just Machine New Parts or Cast New Parts from Aluminum? It's not Hard to do. Maybe I need to set up a Business doing this. What does the reader of this think? Is there Money to be made doing such things?
I am asked frequently, why not just 3d print? This is the first 'why not just cast aluminum'. I'm not able to spend the time to learn a new skill to fix a machine. However, there could be a market for it if someone was able to do it. The only thing would be the 1000s of different parts.
@@SewingMachineRepairGuy It's really no Problem. I would have to have the Part or Parts and a picture and some measurements and within a week New parts of any kind could be made for the Sewing Machines.

here we go again: proselytizing
Hello I really Need to send you an email or make some Kind of contact. I will Support the channel i swear
I get it--you need to "sell" your channel. I can deal with that. But the constant proselytizing with bible strip on the bottom is too much. Keep it about sewing machines and stop doing missionary work. It's offensive.
