Very cool video! After 2 very busy sewing days, I get to watch you work with my heating pad on my shoulders and back. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. Thank you for your talent, inspiration and posting this video!
I have this machine! In 1988 (1989?) my boyfriend, now husband, asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I said I wanted a sewing machine. We went to Sears and I picked this one. I think he paid $125 for it. Over the years I have made lots of clothing and home dec items with all types and weights of fabrics. It's still chugging along quite nicely, although I haven't tried any of the decorative stitches in a long time. I'm glad to see they're still repairable!
I believe this is Singer’s 140th anniversary model. I received mine as a Christmas gift shortly after my I got married - so I’d place it around 1992 to 1993 (also purchased at Sears).
I have a similar machine. Mine is probably a few years older than this one.... What a time I had trying to get the tension right... Nothing worked until I changed the spool of thread upright and now she sews like a dream. 🙂
@@Dany94086 on the top of my machine is a hole for a spool pin, usually it is used for double needle stitching. I just gave it a try one day (single needle stitching) and it worked. 🙂 I have seen spool pins on ebay and the singer website. If your machine has a hole for a spool pin you might want to give it a try, it may work for you too. Wishing you the best!!! 🙂
Thanks for this video and not just saying it is not worth it because it is full of plastic. I have a very similar model that I have made more prom dresses and bridesmaids dresses than I can count along with clothes for my daughters and myself! It is a good old machine of 35 years.
I have severe tension problem on my singer 4423. I can't fix it by adjusting the tension knobs. Any suggestions on how I can repair this problem? myself. Thanks
Where is part 1 I have a 648 touch and sew I need to replace the gears in. Do you have any gear changing repair videos? Or is the first half on your Patreon channel exclusively? Thanks for the quick response. You have a very informative presentation. Thank you. Antoinette
The bar that holes the needle is too far back where the needle is hitting the top of the bobbin and not in that grove. How can I adjust the bar to move it forward so the needle stop hitting the top?
Hi I have the 9010 I got from a Goodwill bin for $5..Its very clean with maintenance records and a manual..seems to be moving sluggish so I opened the top and the gear oil is thick and white and sticky and gooey looking. Is this normal?
Thank you for making this (and the previous video). Overall very helpful. But the part about "wow somehow we managed to get that timing spot on okay so feed timing is good" isn't helpful. Okay, you were very lucky that you didn't need to make any adjustment. What about if we aren't so lucky with the feed timing? After all, that is the gear that is stripped out and the feed dogs are most likely out of sync when the machine is opened up. Next week I am replacing the feed dog gear in my wife's 6235. The bottom looks just like what you were working on.
I need to get up the guts to figure out about my timing on my Kenmore 385... I'm new to the sewing world so that's why I'm scared. Otherwise they want $85 just to glance at it
Could they possibly use any more plastic? NO THANK YOU. I will stick to my early to mid 70s Kenmores and my Singer 201-2. You are very patient and highly skilled. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. Thanks 😊
Sewing Machine Man , do you REALLY think he’s “ doing us out of a job” the loop lift is NOT 1mm it 2.2mm with Needle bar in the middle., notice the needle was to the right of center when he “ timed” it at 1mm loop lift and the feed eccentric has timing marks for setting the feed in synchronization with the take up lever and with the rotary hook for proper thread escapement thru the rear & front position brackets. I get lots of business off the many INCORRECT repair procedures on RUclips.
Very good work. It's easy to criticize this era of Singer machines, but it still works well after 40 years.
Thanks!
No problem! Thanks for the Super Thanks!!!
I totally need to see the previous video on taking everything apart, but I cant seem to find it? Can you please link me to it?

Hi, could you tell me what model number sewing machine you have? I'm working on one similar to the one in this video.
@@susangoddard1030 I had the 9022. Loved it!

@Dena Bell Change the spool of thread vertically? how did you do that? I have the same problem. Tell me please.

Seem to be struggling to find the first video. Is it still on your page?

Dude,
I have a 1906 ish foot pedal. I so want to make it work/be safe.Can it be done? Ever yours in sewing.
Do you ever find yourself with extra screws when reassembling…asking for a friend😂

My needle hits the hook when in lowest position.

Thanks!
so EARLY!!!
You sir, are doing us out of a job.
Hopefully, this is hard work, lol.
Sewing Machine Man , do you REALLY think he’s “ doing us out of a job”
the loop lift is NOT 1mm it 2.2mm with
Needle bar in the middle., notice the
needle was to the right of center when he “ timed” it at 1mm loop lift and the
feed eccentric has timing marks for setting the feed in synchronization with the take up lever and with the rotary hook for proper thread escapement thru the rear & front position brackets.
I get lots of business off the many
INCORRECT repair procedures on
RUclips.
