Thank you so much for the information and detailed video. I made the adjustment and now the machine I received over 60 years ago, is being passed to my granddaughter. She enjoys watching her mom (whom I taught) sew clothes for her and her younger sisters. This little machine made dozens of doll blankets and I’m sure will make dozens more.
I just found this post. Thank you so much. I have the electric version of this little beauty and I've been afraid to use it because I couldn't get needles for it. Problem solved!!😊
i just bought one of these for a song on ebay. it didn't work; it skipped stitches, which, of course, meant it didn't sew. but i adjusted the needle bar just like you suggested and she works a treat! yay! thank you! :D
I still have mine, gifted in 1963 😃. My older cousins got one too: there was a promotion where a sewing workshop was offered. Mine came in a styrofoam pack inside a cardboard carrier. Theirs came in a plastic case.
Thank you for this video! I have a Singer 22851 that belonged to my mother as a child in the 60's. I inherited it in the 80's and made my first doll clothes projects on it as a little girl. I have the storage case too and it's been on the shelf for years due to lack of needles. I will definitely try this hack!
I've just discovered your Chanel. It's great. I wonder if you book of needles would help me work out what needles a Stoewer occillating hook machine from 1912 uses and if there is an alternative available today?
Hi Alex, great video as always. Is there a similar conversion you know of to convert a Jones Medium CS (which takes proprietary Jones needles which are no longer available) to take a modern needle?

You may find a 135x5 or a 16x231 needles works like a dream on that model.
Amazing!
I wonder if this will work on a bloody 50D machine
Brilliant!!!!!
How do you fix the timing on a similar machine 50D electric?
