Clear instructions on how to wind a Singer long bobbin for a hand or treadle machine and load it into the shuttle. Foolproof method for loading the bobbin in the shuttle first time every time. Warning - never insert a pin or any other item in the shuttle because this will damage the tension spring, the cut out metal plate which is screwed to the top side of the shuttle.
To thread the top thread, see our next video.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've never sewn before and have my grandmother's machine to learn on (an 1872-3 Singer). Your videos are very helpful, easy to watch, follow and understand; thank you.
With the help of your excellent video I was able to use my late grandmothers sewing machine. Never sewn anything before. First time the machine had been used in forty years. Thank you :)
Thank you so very, very much for your excellent videos. I am starting to restore a 1924 Singer 127 to good working order, and without all the information you have provided on all aspects of these vintage treasures, I don't think I would have known where to start. I think you are a very talented instructor. My machine appears complete, if in need of a deep cleaning, and I hope to have it up and running in a month or so. I can hardly wait to try all the attachments as well. You have a dedicated Canadian fan here!
I love watching your videos because they are so well done, and your narrative is superb! Perfect for learning how to deal with our machines. Kudos to you!
THANK YOU LIZZIE LENARD YOU SAVED MY LIFE 🩵
Lizzie, thank you so much for this./I just bought a 1889 handcrank singer 28. I hadn`t the least idea how to wind the bobbin or how to thread it properly, having never used this bullet type before.Your information is so welcome!
It sounds like a lovely machine, Jeri. I hope you enjoy sewing with it!
Hello Claire, Glad you sorted it out! Anti-clockwise to disengage, clockwise to re-engage. Sometimes there is ancient muck and rubbish inside gumming up the works, and I show what to do on the machine cleaning videos. One of my machines refuses to disengage, but it's something I can live with.
I just measured the two bobbins that I received with this machine. One measures 3/8" dia. and the other measures 5/16" dia. The smaller one sits deeper in the winder, which explains the misalignment I described in my previous comment. I just purchased 10 new bobbins to cure that problem. Thanks again!
I am so glad to have found your videos. I have learned so much, and you clarified many things that just were not clear enough in my instruction manual. I have a recently acquired Singer 27 treadle (1907). I am trying to get it running. I am almost there thanks to you!
This is brilliant! I have just purchased a vintage sewing machine and had absolutely no idea how to wind the bobbin and the instruction booklet it came with is written in such old fashioned English I couldn't make head nor tail of it - so thanks - I'm keen to get home and see if I can make it work now!
Lizzie, I can't thank you enough. I've cleaned my machine, wound my bobbins, threaded my machine and I'm ready to go! All with your videos. Wish I could buy you lunch! Thanks so much. Blessings to you.
+fromTrashtoTreasure How sweet of you! I'm delighted to hear you have got your machine sorted. Feel free to treat yourself to something to celebrate, and I shall have tea and cake in your honour.
Thank you so very much. I've usually had trouble loading the bobbin into the shuttle, but with your help, the thread obeyed and went right where it's supposed to be.
Lizzie,
Thank you so much for the tutorials on this type of sewing machine!!! It showed me how to thread the machine, the long bobbin and how to check the tension!!!
Thank you so much for explaining all of this so clearly to all of us. I'm allowing myself to develop the hope that my decorative little Singer 128 will actually sew something.
Thank you for this. I just "scored" a treadle machine with this set up. Some work to be done to bring her into good shape, but I'm super stoked!
Hi there. Thanks so much for your tutorials. They have been a GREAT help. I just inherited my great grandmother's sewing machine almost exactly like the one in your videos (I believe it is a 1930 model). Hopefully will be able to learn how to use all the different functions soon!
many thanks for the video instruction, this is exactly the same machine i inherited and hope to get working - been under the stairs for years, amazing piece of engineering!
Wonderful instruction given in the Queen’s English. I love the excellent quality and presentation of these old time videos. Thank. You very much.

Hello Lizzie, just wanted to let you know that I've learned so much from your video's!
Thanks so much! It helped my with getting to know my Singer 15K88 treadle and handcranks and my Vesta treadle machine, who looks like a Singer 127/128.
I can say that thanks to you, they work again!!! And splended as well!!
A warm greeting from the Netherlands, Ria Vogelzang.
Thank you Ria! I'm so pleased to hear you have all your machines working. And a Vesta treadle - lucky you!
Love, Muv
Hello, and thank you from the Ozarks Hills. I am interested in doing Historical reenactments, I am learning how to use a 1901 Singer Treadle.
I will be telling ally friends about your clear and concise video.
Thankyou so much for your instructions. I had forgotten how to use the machine my mum got me at a scout fair 30 years ago.
thank you so so much, was totally lost before I came across your videos regarding my vintage singer machine
I had forgotten completely how to do this. Thank you for posting this information.
Hi: My bobbin winder doesn't have the bottom thread guide on the even spool arm. Apparently from the parts list it never had one. So in order to get a more smooth fill, I leave the foot in the up position and use the spring to the left of the upper thread tension knob.I get a more rectangular line of thread going from the thread spool to the winder. It works really well. :)
Thanks for your very clear instructions. I bought this machine yesterday and spent a few hours cleaning and lubing. It looks just like yours except the winder is up higher than yours. I just wound my first bobbin and ran my first bit of stitches. It seems that the thread piles up on the left end of the bobbin and stops just shy of the right end. I suspect that something is missing from the cup on the winder which would move the bobbin to the left. I'll have to look for a parts list now.
Your videos are so very helpful, I have learned so much from you! Thank-you,Ann
The shuttle is so much easier to use than a round bobbin, At least in my opinion anyway. Unfortunately I lost the bobbin slide plate/cover on my older machine, so had to get a newer 1937 model Singer. I don't get on with it, it smells fusty and I wish I had my old machine back, particularly as I hate the round bobbin.
Any advice though on getting rid of the horrible fusty smell would be very much appreciated!
Lizzie,
Are you a nurse or physician? When you describe left and right sometimes you use the relation of a patient to a health care provider.
Maybe not, but there is no mistaking the dry British humor in your videos and comments. I thoroughly enjoy it.
Thank you for posting this video.
ibsoarin Hello Ibsoarin, I really haven't the first notion of what you are talking about.
Glad you enjoy the vids.
+Lizzie Lenard
I watched this video again from the link in your Lizzie Lenard Vintage Sewing blog's Welcome page.
I love the fact that this machine was the original machine which your Mum used to introduce you to sewing. What a treasure for you.
I really enjoy the fact that we see Farve working the camera and you moving to different positions in the reflections of the stitch regulator knob.
Mark.
Thanks Lizzie. I'll look at that video next. It does look like it needs a bit of a clean, especially when I look at the mechanism underneath. Beautifully engineered little thing though!
Hello Hijodelaisla, It's not absolutely essential, but if you start and finish with the bobbin winder arm to the right you will have an evenly wound bobbin (less likely if you start in the middle), you will put the bobbin in the shuttle the right way up because you will know that the thread needs to come off the bobbin at the top, and the winder arm will be ready in the right position for the next time you need to wind a bobbin.
Another tidbit of advice: keep the socket at the right end of bobbin clean and dry, so that it maintains friction and "hopefully" grips the cup as the winder turns. However the little spring-loaded pin at the left end can benefit from an occasional drop of oil so that it turns freely.
Hello, thank you for this video, it's so clear and you have a very reassuring voice! I have a Singer 15k from 1910. I can't work out how to disengage the needle. There's a round flat metal disc instead of the metal thing that is on your balance wheel. I can turn it, but the needle does not disengage. Can you help? Many thanks.
Thank you again, I need to refer to this video every now and then to get things right.
Hi Muv, Firstly: thanks a lot for the informative video's! Secondly: I have a question about threading my newlt acquired Singer 28k: I followed your instructions and inserted the bobbin into the shuttle but the thread does'nt run freely. Looks like it's stuck. If I pull very hard the bobbin does spin. Before 'clicking' the thread under the tensioner it does run freely. I tried to lossen up the screw and udjust the tension but this didn't seem to help. Do you know what might be the problem?
Hi Lizzie I have just spent the afternoon getting my hand cranked 1898 sewing machine going then, I found your brilliant videos so tomorrow I am going to take it apart and clean and polish it. I have a lot of attachments that I am not sure what they do do you have any videos on attachments? many thanks for your very helpful and informative films.

Hello Jeffrey - Glad you found the answer so quickly! You might be interested in visiting my blog, Lizzie Lenard Vintage Sewing, where you will find loads more information.
Many thanks for an easy to follow video!!
Thank you so much for sharing these tutorials, I have recently purchased a singer very similar to this....according to the serial number it's dated 1897 and is working well...I have been watching and following your tutorials on how to clean, maintain and use the machine....my machine has two cotton reel posts on top but I've noticed yours only has one, do you know why there are two and which should I use for what or does it not matter...if I have time I'm going to do a little video this week showing my purchase and I will add a link to your channel if that's ok so that if anyone else is interested they can pop over and enjoy your videos too....I'd love you take a look and hear your opinion about wether I found a bargain or not....I only paid £15....I'll let you know once the video is on my channel...thanks again...Ann...x
Hello Ann,
Fifteen quid sounds about right to me. These machines are not valuable as antiques as they were manufactured in their millions, but they work and can be used to great effect, so in that sense they are invaluable.
The idea of two spool pins was to be able to wind a bobbin and carry on sewing at the same time - thread for the needle on the left and for the bobbin winder on the right hand pin. It can be heavy going turning the handle to sew and wind a bobbin at the same time, and not a huge saving in time. Use whichever pin you prefer.
Enjoy your machine! Love, Muv
Great information. Thanks for doing this video - and all your other ones, as well.
Do you have a video or suggestion where to find something on installing the shuttle into the race (carrier)? I saw Donna the treadlelady's video but my race looks different and I just can't get it. You are so specific I thought yours would be clearer if you have one.
Hi again Lizzie. I don't know what I did differently, but now when I turn the disc and turn the handle a little bit the needle disengages, so problem solved!
I can't get my Singer Sewing machine Jade Queen bobbin windier working? Can you help , please?
This is wonderful. I am wondering if anyone knows where one might obtain the long bobbins that have the hole in the end? So far I have not been able to trap the thread in the end of the cup. Thanks.
Cut a tiny circle of leather and slip it into the cup area on the right. Hold one inch of the thread between your thumb and index finger, lay the thread across the leather, and put the first end of the bobbin into it. Then, insert the left side of the bobbin by pulling the spring to the left. The leather helps to fill the cup and give enough tension to make the bobbin spin as the wheel rotates. It also helps to hold the thread end in place. Always trim the excess thread end shorter before winding the bobbin. I hope this helps. JB
Clear and helpful, thank you.
Excellent instructions, thanks
Hi Lizzie I have a 1906 model, can you tell me if this machine can do zigzag stitching? thanks lizzie :)
These machines can't do zigzagging. Zigzag stitching is vastly overrated. You don't need it. There are plenty of ways you can make items without it.
Have you noticed different sizes in long bobbins? I bought new ones that are too short!
great tutorial thankyou Lizzie! #subscribed 🤗
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Lizzie, how do you get your silver parts on your machines so shiny? I have cleaned mine and they are still so dull!
Hello Wiyan,
It depends on what the original finish was on the metal, and whether it has ended up rusty or tarnished. Some machines will never shine, others will. Have a look at these posts on my blog, and you will find the link to the website of the manufacturer of the polish I use.

Good luck,
Muv
***** I went and looked at the "miracle metal polish" lol! It's seems to be a lot better than what I have been using and I am ordering some! It works on just about everything, where as mine that is available here only works on certain types of metals and is very limited.:( It's been a pain!
Thanks so much for the tip!! I am excited! :)
I have a Minnesota E sewing machine, it doesn't have a bobbin or shuttle. Do you know if I need to find and use the exact bobbin and shuttle for this machine or can I substitute it with some other kind . If so do you know how I could find one? I live in UT in the USA and the vintage sewing machines are very hard to find.
+cameron jensen Sorry Cameron, my knowledge of American machines (apart from Singers) is zero.
+cameron jensen Check the 'Vintage Sewing Machines' group on FB. Lots of helpful folks that will know if your parts are interchangeable, and where to get them! :)
Hello Lambster, If you don't know how to pull up the bobbin thread, watch the very end of the video on how to thread a round bobbin machine and you will see what to do.
that was incredibly helpful. thanks!
how do i get the shuttle in the shuttle holder? i cant find the info anywhere.... im wondering if mine is bent or something? It wont go in!!!
Claire Willis Bobbin into shuttle - as shown on the video.
Shuttle into shuttle carriage - look at these pictures to see the position the shuttle carriage has to be in, and drop in the shuttle gently pointed end first.
