      You are almost certainly better trying to get a more modern machine because spares are so much easier to get hold of! If punch cards don't float your boat, try a Brother KH585 or 588 or similar.

    Will there be any maintenance videos as I have a problem with card feeding knob in that I can’t get it to push down to feed any patterns in. It actually hurts my hands to push it down?

    • @singlentendre
      @singlentendre 9 днів тому

      What model? Brother standard punch card? The feeder knob always was pretty fierce but it shouldn't be actually hurting you!

    • @pameladale4874
      @pameladale4874 8 днів тому

      @ I have a brother KH881, I had to change the punch card part as the pink cam part had disintegrated, I changed the part which included having to put in place the card reader spring and some black pin like things that fit through the holes at the top. Everything seemed to back together well but when I put it back in the case I started to notice the knob would not go down and also the card lock lever is now hard to shift. I hope this all makes sense.

    • @singlentendre
      @singlentendre 8 днів тому

      Ah, yes. You have almost certainly put the return indicator back in wrong. Fortunately I *do* have a video planned which should help, although I'm afraid not for another couple of weeks. Look out for the video on how the punch card mechanism works.

    Hello, I have just bought a singer 321 and tried all your methods to cast on but my machine just ties the yarn around the brushes or misses many stitches and leaves a hanging loop. The machine has just come back from a complete overhaul but I just cant get it to cast on. This is one part I like; Part 4 at 7:20. Any ideas please? ua-cam.com/video/vN4VJfgCA7Q/v-deo.htmlsi=SX9C_Z9SLTK2N7Y6 Regards JennyB

    I am confused. My carriage on an 881 seems great and moved the needles but once the sinker plate is on, jam-city. Is there a chance it's the wrong sinker plate? Is there a way to attach the sinker plate that I don't understand?
