@@mr_mayrs it makes me happy when anything I do can help someone else on UA-cam! Thank you for that information. That’s good to know!

@@robinjohnson5328 you should never have to force anything. If the big knob doesn’t turn you may look into the bobbin area, remove the bobbin and bobbin case and see if there’s thread stuck. If not it may need servicing. Good luck!

@@rennahintermeister9202 awesome! I’m glad something I did helped! Enjoy your machine!

Same! I just inherited my grandmas it’s been years since I remembered how to work this machine

@@StaceyFoxx yay! What a great way to start off the New Year!

😊 anytime I do anything that helps someone else makes me happy! Thanks for watching!

@@schüt7765 I appreciate it my friends tell me this is way too long. The reason I left it the way it is is so I can go back and rewatch it for myself because guess what the carburetor needs a cleaning again it’s been sitting ever since this video ha ha

@@TruDu89 I know! The culture is way more handy over there! 🙂

@@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113 My country is poor, so everything needs to be repaired and reused. I hope one day you come to visit our country. I will treat you to a delicious cup of coffee.

@@preciouskabeho7449 you may ask… 🙂 I sold this machine a long time ago.

@@TheSquaredM it’s highly probable I didn’t use the correct size, but it still worked

be sure to use a Singer needle, style 2020, in at least a size 16, but you might even need a size 18 depending on the type of denim you are sewing. Also you could try needles labeled 'for denim' or 'jeans needle' :)

@@annagoessens9356 😂 or find someone that knows what they’re doing!

@@ritaaleksi about $200 in the United States

Yes. If you confuse Sweden with Switzerland often then yes. Otherwise made in Switzerland 😅

@@MaritesTayag-u3j crap that sucks! I highly recommend taking it to a shop with professionals, however, if you’re super bored you can use tiny little needle nose, pliers to try to bend it back straight. I don’t recommend it, though cause you could break the whole thing.

@@davidsilos7241 given the fact that I have as much mechanical engineering skills as a chipmunk that has been run over by a truck, if I could figure this out you can. I recommend there’s a couple other videos that really show the details better and I found out that I didn’t need to 3-D print a gasket. You can buy gasket material and just cut it out with scissors or something. I wish you luck!

@@merubapodara I hope you enjoy it!

@@shamseaktar well that’s a super nice thing to say thank you! And I wish I had the experience to know what each of the 32 feet does in that kit lol. I’m a beginner in just about every craft that I’m interested in. Jack of all trades master of none unfortunately.

@@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113 its always good to be jack of all trades and you dont know who you will be teaching a thing or two while you go along (like me). But i'm on a similar thing, trying to learn and better myself at sewing. Any good content on youtube always helps. Thank you! Stay blessed.

@@alltagszauber thank you for watching! It seems this is a common problem with this model. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a solution. One option is if you have an electrician friend or go to a repair shop, they should be able to lengthen the cord, but you have to do it right, of course to prevent any fire hazards, and I’m not an electrician. I don’t have this machine anymore as it was not my favorite so I sold it. But I distinctly remember the pedal barely reach the floor. I don’t know Singer trying to save a few dollars by making the cord shorter? Other than that maybe email an online supply like sewing parts online and asking them if they sell a third-party pedal that has a longer cable? Sorry, I don’t have a definite answer for you.

@@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113 thanks a lot for your helpful answer! so its not just my machine. i try that and maybe contact some singer channel, maybe feedback helps at least future buyers?

@@alltagszauber can’t hurt! And maybe if they have a Facebook group

@@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113 thats a great idea, i will tri! !

@@sherrywilliams1131 of course I’m no expert, I think the general rule is if you sew a lot at least once a year you should have your machine serviced? But I don’t see why if you do a simple clean in between projects, the lint that accumulates in the bobbin area and under the bobbin case and maybe inside the head where the take up arm is? I feel like your machine can run for over a year or two without needing a deep clean, but that’s just my big old guess 😬

@@grandmajane2593 😂 surprisingly, it worked like a champ and I sold it

Demons!

@@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113 - Great! Good job.

@@MarcyStuart5x5 - You may be right!

You’re welcome! ☺️

🙏☺️

I’m so sorry you watched the whole thing 😅

I would imagine that would save a lot of time

I tried to open that end door on my machine because I could see the fuzzies in there, but I never could get it open. I have to take it to the shop soon.

@@grandmajane2593 I feel like a good cleaning, solves most problems with sewing machines

Great job! So satisfying to be able to repair your own machine!

😂.

Hopefully one day I settle on just a few machines for myself that are.. 1. Sew amazing and more importantly, 2. Are easy to take apart and maintain.

You home repair guys need to start a habit of designating a special little dish to hold all the screws, gaskets, nuts, etc. ---- good advice from grandma!

Means a lot to me, thank you! 🙏

It’s a good machine!

😂… who .. summons .. me… (use genie from Aladdin’s voice lol)…. I’m sorry about your bobbin. My very limited knowledge of Bobbin problems is if it’s a metal bobbin after many uses, the metal can actually kinda wear away at the plastic bobbin housing which would mean you would need to replace the whole bobbin housing. However, if you are bored and take apart your bobbin area and look around to see if there are any needle hits maybe the needle punctured a little bit of the plastic area sometimes you need to sand that down with sandpaper and try to make glass smooth again and also the bottom part the bottom part. Or see if you need to tighten the bobbin housing screw thingy … I’m no help at all am I… welp, Going back into the kingdom now to slumber😂

I do not have experience changing blades out or sharpening them on a serger. On regular sewing machines, if you can open up the “head” area housing the side thread cutting blade, you can remove it with pliers from the inside. I imagine it would be a matter of ordering more blades for that machine. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! I’m glad it helped someone. 🙂

Thank you I learned a lot and then forgot all of it 😂

@@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113 🤪

I was lucky i figured out how to put anything back where i found it.. 😅… I learned a lot disassembling everything, thank you for the info!

I feel like maybe machines built not to be oiled had a long lasting oil that doesn’t need oil put on top and ruin it or something? But what do you do if lint and fuzz obviously is stuck in the oily parts, or it’s been longer than the oil could handle and it’s hardened or gummed up? If I find a machine that needs some lovin’, I remove any sticky or gummed up oil / grease and clean and then anything that moves or slides against metal on metal or plastic gets grease and oil… 🙂 I’m sorry I didn’t do a thorough video. I don’t have the machine anymore, but if you are adventurous enough to get at least one side off or the bottom, basically anything that moves or slides against each other I would oil it and if it looks like there’s gears rotating into other gears maybe put fresh grease on those , and clean them

😂I didn’t know they were changeable for the longest time!

Yeah, I forgot about barbecue Lighter fluid. For me everything just seems like it’s gotten really expensive so i’ve been using what I have around the house … for the stickers using the heat gun was the cheapest for me and then a little rubbing alcohol. Sometimes I use a little WD-40 for glue residue.

Hey, great to hear from you again! Thank you for sharing the information about your sewing machine oil!

It means a lot to me if my videos actually help out someone. 🙂 That being said, I’ve heard a lot of reviews saying the “heavy duty“ is just a name Singer is adding and people that are trying to sew heavy jeans or heavy material are not 100% happy, but then you would have to upgrade to an industrial machine or a vintage all metal machine which are many hundreds of dollars if not $1000 or more. For a beginner machine, I don’t see why this isn’t a good start.

Probably both 😆

That’s good to know, in 1990 they opened up a factory in Thailand. I’m not sure which machines are produced there.

I swear I tried every logical combination, but yeah, that makes sense. Thank you.
