- This is a beautiful machine that has seen little or no use in its 100 years of existence, after giving it the full spar treatment, I had to make videos for the owner who had covid, so it was a great opportunity to share it with anyone else who needs so assistance.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this instruction video/ your camera angles are spot on! I’m new to these beautiful old Treadle machines. I just bought a Singer #27 model which is going to take some work before it’s in good running condition. I’ve been watching a lot of channels dealing with restoring these machines, there’s much more information on line than I even hoped for/ but you really knocked it out of the park😅(home run). 🏆
A good tip , always unlock your stop motion knob on the hand wheel before putting away , so next time you go to put the belt on its not moving the needle while turning the wheel to install the belt ....just something to consider...
Thank you, that’s an Excelent tip.
Well done - easy to understand and excellent visual showing how it is done. Thanks!
Thank you
Great instruction and camera work! This is the info I need to get started using my treadle machine including your method of starting & stopping stitching. I liked that you showed your foot positions to operate the treadle too. Thank you!
Oh Excelent, glad I was able to help, they are wonderful machines, hope you get a lot of pleasure for it.
Very goog explanation, makes it easy to use! 😊
THANK YOU for this video.
We just bought this machine at a Thrift store.
Wonderful video, but i saw two things that could be improved;
1) the little hole beside front of shuttle race needs packed w felt and then that felt saturated w oil to reduce wear on shuttle. This makes a big difference in lifetime of a shuttle.
2) the treadle needs oiled. Its squeeking big time.
Thank you, yes you are absolutely correct.
This video was made on a customers machine, for a customer that had recently purchased it, the video was originally for her, but it is much better to share. The two points you mentioned were addressed before leaving. Well spotted. 👍🏻
Thank you so much this video has helped so much more than the very battered manual
Many thanks. The direction of the thread out of the bobbin into the shuttle, was very helpful. As was how to adjust the tension. I am amazed how little tension (upper/lower) is required to make the perfect lock stitch according to the original adjusters manual for SInger.
I love the action of the bobbin winder, a really pretty piece of engineering. The decals on this one are lovely, I have the one with the Greek key design made in 1899.

Thanks for this video! It is so helpful as I get started working with my Singer 27 Treadle.
Thank you so much for showing that I have the exact same singer I guess it’s a 27 as a sphinx or 28 treadle it’s from the 1800s it is beautiful thank you so much for the wealth of information I appreciate it
Tan hermosas como funcionales así son estas maravillas de la ingeniería del siglo XXI.
That was so informative!!! Thank you so much!!
I have a 66 but this still taught me a few things.
Wonderful! I am looking forward to using my Singer. It was my mom's, purchased for her by her mother. I am so delighted it came to me. Thanks. I am sure I will have questions.
Beautiful machine!
Very helpful video, thank you so much!
Just purchased a Singer 27 treadle at an auction for $57 US. Thank you for your informative video. I got to looking at your other videos and have tote bag envy. Very creative. We have a couple of machines that can handle heavier canvas but nothing like "Big Tony"....more envy. Happy New Year from Reno, Nevada, USA.
Thanks you, happy Christmas to you to.
Excellent ! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for this video
Thank you so much! 😊
Great video thank you!
This video is so helpful thank you.
Nice demo
I followed you exactly, loading the shuttle and then inserting. I threaded the top and then pulled the thread through. After hours cleaning my beautiful machine the moment came to test sew. Nothing, the first stitch seems to almost catch but after that not a single stitch. The only thing I didn’t clean was the feed dog area. I will attack that tomorrow but I don’t think that’s it. The feed dogs do move.
Hi, contact me on my FB group, and I’ll try to talk you through if you have a problem.

Excellent!
I noticed the bobbin carrier is like mine the old version that can snag the bobbin thread in the back of the diagonal slot of the bobbin case.
Later versions had a finger in the carrier to stop this snag, I have modified mine with a bit of wire.
This was on a 1891 28K UK machine.
The other odd snag I was getting was from a burr on the bobbin tension screw, it just caused a malformed stitch with extra thread in the lock stitch.
I still have suture stitch scissors they are 50y old now.
Good to know thank you, could you post pictures of the bobin case differences on my FB group, Sew Far North.

You have an example, your green machine has the newer shuttle holder with the extra finger at the back

I don't do FB or any other, you do the comparison and maybe add a YT to help others if they are getting the random snag on the older carriers, it seems to happen as you stop and start, I took the slidrs off and ran my old 28k hand wind machine slowly to see it happen. I was using very thin thread, as the top thread drags the lower thread forwards and then backward as the shuttle passes the needle and starts to return and if the long curved part of the tension spring does not trap the bottom thread and keep it ontop of the shuttle the lower thread loops under and enters the slot at the back of the shuttle.
I bent my long curved spring so that it just touches the shuttle case, I guess over the years people must have used their fingernail to remove the shuttle causing it to be slack.
The metal finger modification seems to guide the bottom thread to stop this from happening
Yesterday I watched a few of your other videos, very nice colour changes for the 201 I also have cast iron and aluminium (in black) both still in factory almost new condition.
all the best
@@sailingtessbesssewfarnorth1746 I do not normally upload YT, however here is how I fixed my machine by bending the long spring so that it traps the bottom thread, if I had not done this then the top thread occasionally drags the bottom thread in the slit at the rear of the shuttle.

This is an unlisted video just for you feel free to download and reuse or you might like to show both your machines and the possible thread snags that has nothing to do with adjusting tension settings.
I do not know when Singer made the modification to the shuttle carrier to add the extra finger, I have seen both types for sale on Ebay.
I knew about it because I have a few vibrating shuttle machines. I set them up for my wife to use with different thread or foot attachments to do zigzag, ruffling etc. so she just uses a different machine that are sometimes in a different room.
all the best
BTW I went diving in the Orkneys on the German fleet in Scapa flow back in 1985
Later I did my RYA costal skipper qualifications on a trip from Largs to St Kilda in the west of Scotland.
I have old stratford treadle sewing machine...everyone that knows anything say it's worth more if you burn it and change people for the heat...
You could use that threaded bobbin as a small plumb bob.
Thank you very informative. I do have one question. How do I fix stich lenght inconsistency. I just got one and using it for the first time. My stiches start out long and end short. My treddle looks just like yours
Contact me on my FB group and I’ll see what I can do to help.
I have one almost like your machine.
Do you turn the hand wheel toward you, or away? I really can't tell. TIA I just figured it out!
Always towards
Hi, i just recently acquired the exact machine looks like it. It works but i cannot find the right needle. Could you tell me what needle you have in this machine. You will be helping me a great deal🤗, thank you so much!!!
15x1
@@sailingtessbesssewfarnorth1746 Ok just got 15x1 needles, it's a liitle shorter than the one that came with the machine. I tried it and it works. I was worried it might break but it didn't. The old needle i think is for leather or some sort of thick material. Thanks a bunch for replying🤗.
If you join my FB group you may also find some useful info there, and you can ask about any issues you May have. It’s called “Sew Far North”

Can you help? The stitch length seems not to change from a very small stitch. Singer treacle from dec1899.

Hi, yes I can help. can you message me on my Facebook group. Sew Far North.
