This was such a cool way to show the stitches. I have an old White treadle, and it has numbers, I believe. The others I didnt think about stitch length.
My main machine is a singer 66 treadle. I turn the knob and measure the stitch. I adjust it to the length I need. Once I've set it, I can forget it! Also, there's ways to back tack to set the seams. Love the video, keep them coming please! 😊😊😊
I recently switched to using a Necchi BU from a Singer 128 as my primary machine. I has both the metric and imperial markings and has the added benefit of having all it's markings in abbreviated Italian. Thankfully, my many years of using a knob style stitch length adjustment mean that I can confidently ignore anything it has to say.
Great reference video for me. I have a 66 redeye treadle with the knob and always have to fiddle around with the knob to adjust to the stitch I think would work best. I forget which way to turn the knob to increase or decrease the stitch length. I also have a Godzilla 66 electric with the lever adjustment, no guessing.
I think what you're meaning by the knob is strictly singer. I'm not aware of other sewing machines that had those that are very common. I have a white rotary that is a treadle that has a lever has no reverse function but it does have a lever and it's life started as a treadle
Hi Edwin, Like I said in the video, "you'll find this style of stitch length adjuster on many of the older Singer sewing machines". All the sewing machines in this video are Singers. Thanks for watching.
If anyone was dumb - it was me. I'm a Singer girl and do tend to focus on them in all my videos. I guess I just assumed everyone would know I was talking about Singers. For that - I'm sorry - I shouldn't assume. I'll fix the title so that it's a bit clearer.
I have a later electric White from the the late 1940s. When I got it, besides being dirty, the only problem that it had was that the stitch length lever would move during use. It wasn't exactly a hard fix, tightening a screw on some spring washers, but I can imagine why Singer wouldn't want to implement something like that on a violently shaking Model 27.
It was fun seeing your sewing machines at work. I just love sewing machines! Another great video from a delightful sewing friend. Thank you.
This was really helpful, thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 🙂

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to investigate 🔎 for us regarding the stitches. I have the 66 with both stitches knows. I like variation 😊.

Such a beautiful 66!
