The method is the same for threading the Singer 66K. Full instructions for threading the machine, filling the bobbin and loading the bobbin in the machine. The machine shown is a 1927 Singer 99K which featured in the video showing the removal of the motor. The 99K is a very reliable model which produces an excellent stitch. Manuals for old Singer machines can be downloaded from the Singer website www.singerco.com - Навчання та стиль
Clearest instructions I’ve found to date! My mum and I have been scratching our heads on how to thread the bobbin for quite awhile! You’ve solved our problem 😅
im a teen girl who loves sewing i got my great grandmothers today and cant wait to use it
I don't know how to tell my grandmother that i want to borrow hers :)
SameeEEeEee
Actually same lol
At my house we have 2, one that belonged to my great grandmother and on that belonged to my great great great grandmother. The latter is under the house and is starting to fall apart, and the first one is inside but missing the gizmos and the part that you use to thread up the first thread (why!!!) My nan also has one of another of my great grandmother that has everything on it and is in great condition, but she doesn’t use it and it take forever to unlock the case it’s in ( it’s a graveling sewing machine with electricity, the other 2 are older and are pedal powered. I wish I could learn how to use them but the first 2 need repairing or new parts, and the last one I can’t really use even if it works
My great great grandmothers is easily over 100 years old, my great grandmothers one is easily 70-100 years old and my great grandmother that my nan has is around 50-80 years old
This is the best video I've found on UA-cam. I've recently got myself a Singer from 1915, and I was sitting there rather helpless until I found your videos. I went from "Where do I even start? How do I thread it? How do I make it move?" to just having finished my first tote bag, all within 12 hours. You're a great teacher!
I came here just to say the same thing. 😂❤
Apart from the tote bag. Well done 🎉♥️
Thank you so much Lizzie, I have not used my 99k for a while so your most excellent video reminded me how to thread the bottom bobbin so perfectly.
12 years later and your video is still proving to be an absolute gem. Checked a few other videos on the bobbin winding specifically and realised they couldn't be the correct winding, but you've shown it perfectly!
I must admit I also got a chuckle while winding the bobbin using your instruction, upon hearing the tripod incident. If anything that adds a nice bit of character to it all!
My great grandmother bought this model in 1928. I'm so happy to see it so I can thread my machine.
I just purchased this same machine last week. It dates back to August 1, 1927. Pretty rough shape, lots of rust and some missing parts but restorable. It must have been heavily used. Decals are all worn off and the only shiny place on the face plate is where the thread from the take up lever down to the eyelet in front of the face plate rubs against the plate. I look forward to soon use this gem. Thanks for your tutorials.
I found this video while looking for instructions for my new vintage Singer, and I am just mesmerized. This machine is different from mine, but I just kept listening because it was so soothing. You have the most amazing voice and diction. I wish all instructions in the world were read by you.
Thank you Marina. I hope you found the instructions for your machine afterwards.
What a FANTASTIC video. Thank you ever so much! I have just threaded my new to me gorgeous sewing machine 😍 Thank you ♥️
Absolutely brilliant - such a careful and detailed explanation as to how to thread both the upper and lower threads of this machine. Thank you very much and I especially like the bonus bit at the end!
Brilliant!, as you Brits say. There are so many tutorials on the old Singers that for various reasons are inadequate. This was perfect and the machine is exactly like mine. Many, many thanks.
Perfect narration so refreshing in these days of "new speak". Thanks Lizzie
Thanks George. It's my age.
Thanks a lot!
I'm a 23 yo MAN with a singer machine at home i wanna start using and this tutorial really helped me getting started, thanks! :D
OMG .. She is so thorough and clear!!!
Thank you. I haven't used this machine before. It was my grandmother's. It's been 35 years since I've sown so I'm having a hard time. I'm glad for this video.
That was Beautiful, My Mother left Me a an Old manual pedal type sewing machine,, I'm ready to make a Sail and go Sailing..
This was clear and concise instructions.. and I love the British accent..
No such thing as a British accent. It's an English accent. Hope you don't mind me saying.
@@Muvandfarve , Thank You, I'll remember that.. :)
Hey Lizzie - this is a marvelous instruction in threading an old Singer. All details wonderfull clear explained which saved my day because I have to sew a beautiful red satin stage curtain for an antique puppet theater for a very good friend (female) for her birthday on september 12th - May the Force stay with You.
Thanks Lizzie, I had made several errors in threading my "new" old singer and placing the bobbin. Now I have watched your vid I know what to do. Brilliant! I love my machine! You are a star. I liked the outtake too!

Thank you so much, I have been looking for this type of instructions, for the bobbin of this type. I have 2 vintage Singers, one the bobbin is down inside, the other I just got, the bobbin is like yours. I never threaded this kind. I followed you and it's perfect, and you taught me how to refill the bobbin, you don't want to know how I did it, lololol, thanks again.
Thank you so much!! This is very helpful! I'm 13 years old and after helping my grandad move we found this sewing machine. Thinking of starting my own little business!!
Good Luck, MingMing!
Great! Really helpful! I have an exact sewing machine from my grandma and I was just thinking about buying a new one because I didn't know how it worked. The paint is a bit worn out for my grandma spent nights and days working with it to bring up her 3 children. I have just tried it and it works marvelously. By the way it was made the same year than yours (1927) and to me it is invaluable, it is priceless. Thank you so much!

It is very educating about sewing.. The lady is so soft spoken.. I like it very much.
EXACTLY the tutorial I needed, thankyou!!! I was sat just looking at this beautiful machine I've been gifted and feeling absolutely baffled by it...now I'm off to give it a go!!...whilst giving thanks for people such as your good self!!
Thank you so much for this i have had this sewing machine for 20 years. I bought it for £10 and the stitches were never right! Now I can see where I was going wrong! I do not know what the machine can do at all this is a good start! I just sewed by hand. I could have saved so much effort had I seen this!
Thanks!! I’ve always wanted to be able to use my grandmothers sewing machine. Now I can!!!
Thank you for this! I have inherited a 66K and have not used a sewing machine in about 8 years so couldn't even remember how to thread a modern one; so had no clue how to thread my vintage one! Thanks for the beautiful narration and clear, concise instruction
SEND THIS TO THE WORLD!!! Great Voice Acting, Amazing Definition, Finally Works.
Thanks Erika! Glad you have your machine sorted. Voice acting? No, it's the real thing.
***** I mean that your voice is really good in the video, easy to hear.
THANK YOU! I have a very similar Singer and I'm a complete newbie. It's been very helpful and rewarding to watch these videos. Please continue making them! :)
Izquierdomd,
Thank you for your message. I am always delighted to hear about machines that have been kept in the family. Who needs a new machine when grandma's works perfectly?
Con abrazos de sus amigos en Inglaterra,
Muv y Farve
Lizzie Lenard Exactly!
Thank you so much - haven't used my machine in over 20 years and this video was really useful and easy to follow.
Thankyou.now ill follow ur instructions.u make it look easy. Just got my great grandmothers machine and oiled it up.its in perfect condition 1910.G429023.And im 64 lol. Excellent video.
Without doubt the clearest instructions ever! Thank you.
Just want to extend my thanks again...I have referred to this countless times as I seem to have a brain block on threading this machine!!...it's always a bit simpler than I remember!! ✨🙏✨
This video helps me with my singer 66!!!thank you very much!
thank you for all the info you've given me, I've just got a 99k singer hand crank machine, it's a bit confusing at first, to learn, especially as a beginner, I love the 1940s blouse but the pattern isn't very clear, I just love my machine, xxx
Thank you so much! I purchased a 1940 Featherweight at a yard sale, and am working on using it for the first time. This certainly helps. I have a number of attachments, including the button hole attachment. I will be interested in learning how to use them as well. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial!
This finally helped me thread my machine - it's the first tutorial I found with the same hooks in the same places as mine (although mine is electric). Also, great clear instructions about left to right. Thank you so much!
I got the same electric with light and runs great.
Delighted that you enjoyed the bonus feature. We will do our best to keep them shorter than the main videos.
Loved the "bonus feature", haha. I am a 30 year old man and I have my grandmother's old Singer. Just needed to learn how to load the bobbin, thanks!
Oh **** I kicked the tripod
I just discovered that i had the same machine at house, but I didnt know how to sew :(
I was so happy to find this video, when suddenly i hit one of my fingers moving the machine! hahaha so sad, i think im going to try another day.
Greets from Chile!
Thank you for taking the time in creating these videos! I was just about to give up and sell my machine but know I can service and operator it thanks to you.
Wow! Thank you SO much! I had been stuck on the bobbin not pulling through and this video was incredibly helpful. Thank you for posting! God bless you! ♥
I appreciate this video since not many people have this vintage sewing machine anymore
Actually, there are loads of them still about.
Thank you I just got this machine and I'm so excited about it, this was very easy to follow and saved me so much time!
Great help with threading up my NEW 99K today :) I could not recall the "threading" :) excellent enunciation :)
even though my model is not the same, this video was incredibly helpful for me, as im sure it has been for other people. Thank you so so much for taking the time to do this !
Hi Lizzie,
Thanks for this. I've always wanted to get my Moms old sewing machine (a 1937 99K as it turns out) going again and I never new how to use it. Took me a while and a few reviews of your video but I did what I wanted.
Thank you so much for your tutorials! My "new" 1916 singer (found it at Goodwill) is working beautifully after a tune up....I just need to know how to use all of these attachments and gizmos; thanks to your videos I soon will :)
Most perfect narration voice ever!! Wonderful instruction as well.
I appreciate your directions. I now will be able to continue to use my 99-13.
Thank you Lizzie, I tried to do the bobbing years ago and gave up. I will be able to tackle it now. You have a professional voice combining with the presentation
Great timing - just got a 66 for my sister. Love your videos!
You have made a Wonderful collection of videos that will help me with my 99 and hopefully someday, a treadle. I am inspired and will continue to look for more help from these films which have such clear instructions. Thank you.
Sandi
Clear, complete and a life-saver! Thank you
Thank you for the demo, I was threading my mum's machine slightly incorrectly, now it's great.
Thank you very much, after hours of frustration you have bought me sanity - and hopefully many hours of happy sewing. :) Really clear instructions given at a nice pace and the stills help us see clearly what you have done. Thank you once again.
great video, audio very clear and easy to understand
Thank you! I just got this exact sewing machine and I wasn't sure exactly how to thread the bobbin and the instruction booklet didn't say how. This was very helpful
I've just ordered my first 99k from eBay and looking forward to it arriving as I've a few projects to start. Thanks of the video as I need all the help I can get, being a 37 year old bloke who's more used to fixing a landrover with a welder.
That's ME!!!!! I'll muddle through it. I understand how machines work,most of the time.
If a woman can do it a 3 yr old kid can.
Thank you for perfect instructions from Prague, Czech Republic.
Gosh MsAnny - what quick work. Congratulations! I shall name you my star pupil for today, which is quite an honour because it is exactly one year since this video was put on UA-cam.
Thank you so much for your comment. Muv
Fantastic video and beautifully spoken and articulate
Thank you so much. I recently inherited my mothers old Singer and thought I knew how to put the bobbin in but it kept knotting up, without even beginning to sew. I have a feeling that the type of bobbin has something to do with it too. It came with a bobbin in it(unthreaded) but the bobbin has a lot of larger holes all around. I'll try to get hold of the type used in this video. Perfect instructions, by the way. Thank you so much. I can't understand why you have so many dislikes and I loved the blooper at the end hahaha
Thank you so much for this. I can never remember how to thread the machine and without you I'd be completely stuck. Thank you x
AMAZING thankyou, just got my old singer working again after years of no use! thanks!!x
Thank you, I saw the same type with my parents when I was around 5 year old in Burundi, good ones!
Thank you from France, I can use my sewing machine now!
Thank you sew sew (pun intended) for the tutorial. I have just acquired a 1951 99k Singer. The serial number starts EG, it's almost identical to yours. It has been fitted with an electrical foot peddle and the handle removed. I am glad I found this video and the others to go with this. I can't wait to start using it now. Thank you Lizzie.
Mine starts with an EF.
Fantastic, just bought a machine at a car boot and this taught me how to thread it in less than 2 mins.
Excellent. Get stitching!
Thank you so much! I've had this machine since my nannas passing 5 years ago but I never asked how to thread it! No one in my family knows really Hoping to use it now :D xx
I've got one, they are beautiful machines and I really enjoy using it
Thanks so much for posting this video! I had forgotten how to thread and do the bobbin. Your a life saver :)
What an absolutely gorgeous machine!
Loved the last bit, after a beautiful articulate voice explains everything perfectly, when you kick the tripod....it's perfect timing lol..... Very well explained. Thank you very much
Thank you so much for this- I am getting one for Mother's Day but there is no manual for it. This machine is a thing of beauty and so smooth - it may just relegate my electric one to the cupboard. Will definitely check out your blog.
Thank you very much. Because I am a newbie, I didn't know. I have a model 66 born in 1927. Gunk has been building up for years. But eventually I'll get in back in working order.

Great video! Clear and slow for beginners! congrats! Thanks! PS. Love your voice!!!
thats a wonderful upload i brought the same machine a few months ago and i would of asked my old mum for help but sadly no longer hear so thank you for a very helpful upload good a gold
Thanks, really easy to understand.
Beats any of the more recent ones I've seen on UA-cam
great instruction, clear and easy to use! Thankyou! Cant wait to start sewing
so easy to follow. you saved me. I had not clue before your video.
I love your video. I have been trying to thread my Zündapp Elcona 1950's sewing machine and could not find any thing on line. But I think this video will help me alot especially with the thread tension. Thanks so much.
thanks for the how to video the build quality is fantastic on these machines
Your voice is Beautiful. . . I could listen to you speak all day ;) Thanks So Much for the tutorial!!!
So glad we can help! Thank you.
PERFECT EXPLANATION! THANKS SO MUCH!
What a lovely voice you have.
I don't think my kids would agree when I yell at them.
*****
I really cannot imagine you yelling with such a sweet, clear and well spoken voice.
@g1sflippo
Thank you - glad you enjoyed the video.
The tension for the top thread is set in the same way as on a long bobbin machine, shown on another video. Adjusting the bobbin thread on a round bobbin machine might be a bit tricky on video, but we will see if we can do it. As for needles, all the machines we show take exactly the same type of needle as modern machines, so it is just a question of buying the right needle for the job and getting the advice you need at the shop.
Thank you for this informative video. I just got mine today, as a present. I have no idea on how to use it, however It's love at first sight.
Thnx! Im now using my fathers old sewing machine! You have a very lovely voice!😜
Hello Hal, Glad to be of help. One day, when I'm organised, I will do a video showing a buttonholer. I have great trouble getting organised.. Regards Muv
