    I have a F & R machine which once belonged to my mum. and I wonder if you can give me some advice regarding a problem I have while loading the bobbin. There is a switch on the hand wheel to turn the shuttle off while reloading thread, but this has stopped working and the shuttle holder continues to move backwards and forwards while carrying this out. Any help you can give will be much appreciated.

    Hello from New Zealand. I found a nice Singer 319K and was happy until I saw this video. The two speed gearbox and free arm sold me. I was extremely fortunate to find a Husqvarna 21E. Was advertised as not having any parts or bobbins. Your video showing the accessories storage under the foot pedal case storage box clued me in and it was there! Joy! Many thanks.

I have been researching, and everything I read from several legit sources say the number 8 was made from 1876 to 1887. Our serial number is #334551 and dates to 1878. I would appreciate any info you can share. Thanks again for the great video!

    Please do not throw away these old machines they are mechanical and the parts just need replacing. I keep using my mother's 1970 machine and it does just fine if not it has continued to surprise and outlive any of the current day ones. Do not exclude 3d printers .I have used 3d printers to save many old pieces. You can use scanning software/tech to scan a workable item or quickly generate one your self i you can get down to the mm measurements.

    I wonder if there's alien life in another galaxy somewhere that invented a similar machine in their early age of technological advancement, maybe even a long-gone civilisation from millions of years ago. But with the difference that it's more practical to use with the form of their bodies. Kind of a random thought that popped into my head but I wanted to share it lol

    My dad was an antique collectr and dealer - and among his vaaaast estate of ...stuff, I found some old sewing machine things, including an original Wertheim Sewing machine guide book C1890, but also a pack of Pfaff new sewing machine needles - looks to be old. ive tried a google reverse image search, but didnt have much luck. they are grooved tho -a little white but ornate packet. Any way of knowing how old they are, and who woould want them. I dont wanna throw them away. What is the correct sewing machine needle type for this machine here, the usual 12 x 1 ...? Or did they have their own standard. Fabulous restoration tho!

    I bought a 201 a while ago, only cleaned it, I might replace some bits in the future (some accessories are rusty). It sews like a dream. I still have a modern, cheap mashine in the closet, just in case I need to zigzag something. However I find myself adjusting my sewing process to avoid using it, swapping zigzagged edged for french or flat-felled seams wherever possible, so ever since I have this singer, I have not used electric at all.

      @@sailingtessbesssewfarnorth1746 Yes! I know that now: ) I took the needle bar out to clean & oil the front end & looking at the needle clamp closely was very instructive. My other 12K came with a standard 15x1 needle fitted when I got it so I knew the fat shanked needles will fit & work. I thought to myself at the time when this one breaks I'll have to replace it & figure out how to do it then. Trouble is it hasn't broken or worn out yet... The latest one came with no needle fitted so it had to be done pronto. Hearing you mention the 16x231 on this one prompted me to get on with it! I'm quite confident now, so thanks. Watching the shuttle catch the loop is very useful too. My RH slide plate was seemingly welded in place so I had to free that first! It's stitching perfectly now: )
