Singer 431G Low voltage motor sewing denim
I have figured out how to convert the internal Singer motors in the 300 - 600 series to low voltage high speed high torque. This means that you no longer need to worry about a dead motor, voltage issues between countries, or even off grid working.

    So you are saying the MTX190 needles are the same size as the 20x1 needles used in the Davis UF machines (and other brands of vibrating shuttle machine), or did the VF machines use a longer needle? Thanks!!!

    I've noticed Davis machines in general seem to be very under rated. They're really fairly good. I have several UF shuttle models and they all sew and work just as nice as any other machine.

    Thanks I have a 403a and I am wondering if the 411G is a better machine I do know the internals of the 403 are more heavy duty than the Rocketeer. Can you tell the difference on sewing even just straight stitch and zig zag. Guess the quick question is other than the chain stitching and the treadle option what would your choice be. Thanks so much for your lovely videos. BTW I subbed and hit the alarm years ago but see it must of been changed I will do it again

    There are two (2) different Kenmore large letter monogrammers. One is like this one in the video. It comes in a book-like box and has an oval embroidery hoop. All the cams are the same length and they do not fit the Singer/Greist large letter monogrammer. The other Kenmore large letter monogrammer is exactly the same as the Singer/Greist monogrammer with different company names printed on the, flat, rectangular box. These all have rectangular embroidery hoops. These monogrammers use cams that are different lengths for different letters, and they are interchangeable. One of course needs the correct flavor to match the machine shank: low, high, or slant.

      The internal cams are metal. The top hat cams are the black bakeolite or melamine whichever you prefer. I have not seen anyone make those in metal, but I have also not seen one fail. I would imagine as time moves on, the 3D printed versions will become possible on metal.

      Do not feel guilty. When those machines were new, many ladies were new starters too. It is great that you have taken the machine off of a dusty shelf and made it happy. Your machine will become one with you as all good tools must. Occasionally you will have cross words but you will make up again and sew with extra pride. Happy sewing.

    It was difficult to follow your explanation coz you were using white thread in a white background(?). Then you don't have any Endless/Border-less hoop from Viking/PFAFF, plus you are only hooping the stabilizer to later add the fabric. Don't you use spray adhesive? Or Iron fusing stabilizer? Using any of the two makes things lot easier. Anyway, thanks for your video.
