- Here's my 1918 SINGER 24-61 Hand- Crank Chainstitch that I'll be using for the next 11 blocks of the "365 Sampler Challenge" by Kathryn Kerr. The 24's came in a number of configurations both domestic and industrial. Sews beautifully with a perfect chain-stitch. Here a short video of her at work making the Mar. 18 "Mosaic" block.

Vintage sewing machines are so auditive, just a few years back I started collection now those numbers have really increased. The Singer 24 is one I have not in my collection; yet. Gracias for giving us a presentation on yours. I enjoy the time that you take in addressing the various models on this and other videos.
Thank you for this wonderful video. The 24 looks so beautiful and delicate, yet underneath has some serious engineering. I love the whispering sound it makes.
Oh she’s so lovely!!! 🥰
I lost your feed for a while although I’m subscribed. So happy to see you still going strong!
What a gorgeous machine and case! I so enjoy your videos and learn from each one. Thank you for sharing your love of antique sewing machines with us.
Parabéns essas máquina de costura são maravilhosas
I love your videos, I have my grandma's singer 66-1 treadle, all original attachments, she sews like a champ, my problem is the treadle, I don't know if it's the pedal I guess it would have to be makes so much noise and I don't know what to fix, I can't break any of the screws loose, she's from 1906 ur machines are oh so quiet and i too love the sounds of these old treadle any suggestions
Noisy treadle pitmans drive me nuts, too. You might try some penetrating oils to get those nuts/screws loose. There are a few videos showing how to reduce treadle noise. This one may help you ua-cam.com/video/9n06hzhNkPw/v-deo.html GOOD LUCK!!
I love your videos! I have a Eldredge B chainstitch machine that's a clone of the Willcox and Gibbs. I am having a small bit of trouble with my thread snapping. Most of the time, it stitches fine, but every once in awhile it gets hung and snaps the thread. I have cleaned everything and attempted to see what's going on. From what I can see, when it gets stuck, is that there are multiple loops of thread stuck on the rotating hook. Idk how that happens or how to fix it. Any ideas?
Not sure I can be of any help. I've had a similar thing happen from time to time on both my 24's and Willcox & Gibbs chainers. I known mine have been very sensitive to even a slight backwards turn and seem to snag from that, so is it possible that's what's happening to yours? Sorry I can't suggest an absolute fix.
@@FiddleyBits That's alright! If it's happening to you as well, then it must be normal. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't something that could mess up the machine. I usually just tie off the ends and stitch over the missing bit again. Thanks!
Does the thread-locking technique work the same in the Willcox and Gibbs chain stitch sewing machine? Thank you.
Yes, just the same.
@@FiddleyBits Thank you. I made a twin-size piece quilt with my Willcox and Gibbs being very careful not to unravel the stitches. When I was finished I went around the edge with a lockstitch to ensure that the chain stitch would not unravel. Your technique seems like an easier and more secure way of doing it.
@@dalesuhre6522 Have you seen my Willcox & Gibbs quilt piecing video showing how I secured stitches in a quilt project? You might find it helpful, too. ua-cam.com/video/a6jEeDTrRp0/v-deo.html
@@FiddleyBits thank you for the link. I just watched it.
Beautiful machine! I am still dreaming of a Willcox and Gibbs I saw in an antique store. But I need to get my regular machines settled in at my new place before I buy another. So happy to see your new videos!
