Thank you 🙏 I’ve been looking everywhere for a guide for this type of singer and have been struggling. I’m learning how to sew basically on my own so this helps a tremendous amount! Thank you
Just want to take a minute to thank you for doing this instruction video! I have it saved so I can refresh my memory because I don't sew on a regular basis. This is the best and clearest instructions I have found! Thank you so much!!❤
My new-to-me 15-91 arrives shortly and this is a wonderful video (as are your other 2) about the little things so necessary for success. Thanks for making these!
According to the original Singer instructions for the 15-91, the recommended way to thread the bobbin case is with the "thread on top drawing from right to left", see page 11 (13 on pdf) and figure 7.
I picked this 49 singer up alittle over a year ago for a vintage touch to put my patches on my riding vest. Did a great job til the bobbin ran out. No problems til I have to put the bobbin back in and go though the hole. Thank you for making this video!!
@@MrMyname18 is the issue when you first start sewing? If so are you holding your "tails"? Before you begin the first stitch hold the extra top and bobbin threads, keep hold of them for the first ~3 stitches until the threads are locked in. That should prevent pull out.
@Lindsey Thompson yes I'm aware, It happens a couple in to 10 in its different stitches. It's not pulling the tails through I'm familiar with that, it's cutting the tread off as it comes though the fabric like the thread is too tight but appears loose
@@MrMyname18 hmm. Well this sounds more complicated there are a few things I'd check 1. The hook and needle plate for burrs that might be cutting the thread. 2. Verify that the needle is the correct size for your thread. 3. You mentioned you were sewing patches. If your using a low quality thread it could be cut from the friction of being pushed through the material
Hello I have this machine as well and do al the maintenance mostly by myself threw the original book and video's like yours here. Could you make a maintenance video for machines like mine that get daily use I could not tell you how much I would appreciate that!! I do care for my machine the best I know how from self learning and reading but You have up close detail and slow explanations that are just so helpful!! I would truly be grateful!! Thank you for teaching me the correct way to put my thread now!!
Hello, Great, well explained video and thanks for sharing with us!! My mom has a similar machine and the rubber wheel that spins the rod to the empty bobbin won’t spin. I replaced the rubber wheel and oiled the assembly ( which was hard to turn ), but is better now. It seems to be making contact, but just doesn’t spin to thread it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you. I frequently forget how to do this and have to go through several trial and errors and mistakes until I get it right. 😂 this is a great step by step instruction and just the reminder I needed. ❤
Oh God.. I'm so glad to find this video.. Hi is the first time in your channel... A friend of mine find and gift to me a Singer machine that only said under her Made in China 15 CH... I really want to use the sewing machine but when I try the tension is to much in the upper thread that broken easily.. Really don't know what to do because I only know the basics to use a sewing machine that I learned myself watching videos. Hope you can understand all my bad english... hahaha.. Blessings..
This was an amazing video--great photography with excellent close ups and clear instruction. I really like the beautiful wooden base/case for your machine. May I ask where you got this case? Thanks!
Great Video! Just wondering if you know if a 1950 Singer EGO26341 Blue and Gold Badge Centennial machine made in Clydebank Scotland is a valuable machine, something special, or worth restoration. Any advice would be much appreciate. Cheers!
Hi Lindsey! LOVE your videos. I have a 15-90 that I bought used because I learned to sew on my mothers YEARS ago. Mine has a foot pedal which I don't like as much as my mom's which was operated by pressing your knee against a drop-down lever, if that makes sense. I have two questions if you have time and inclination to answer. 1) Do you think it would be possible to replace the foot pedal with a knee one at a repair shop AND 2} Do you know of any mechanical reason why my machine won't fill the bobbin more than about half full? I know I'm doing it correctly and I've tried more than one different bobbin just in case that was the problem. I'm stumped. You're a gem! Thanks so much.
So I got mine all threaded but my bottom stitches are just a straight line? My top stitches are great but how do you make the bottom look like the stop stitching?
It sounds like there is an electrical short. The machine and pedal should be re-wired before further usage. A local sewing machine repair shop should be able to do this for you
Can you please tell me where to get needles that thread from the side instead of the front. I'm having trouble finding them. My machine won't sew at all and I think that is the problem. Thank you.
The needles are standard 15x1 sewing machine needles. And are available at any craft store or online. The difference is how you install them. The should be installed with the flat to the left
Literally can’t see how you’re the threading the bobbin, so far from the camera or with hands in the way. Guess there’s a certain amount of foreknowledge assumed 😅
New to sewing, don't have anyone in person to teach me and this video has made a world of difference for me.
Thank you 🙏 I’ve been looking everywhere for a guide for this type of singer and have been struggling. I’m learning how to sew basically on my own so this helps a tremendous amount! Thank you
I have a 15-91 & I was not threading it right until I just watch you thread yours,I really like the machine.thank you

Thank you for such great and easy to follow instructions.
I finally got this sewing machine. It’s the one I have wanted forever!! Definitely the best how-to video I’ve seen on this topic. Thank you!!
This is the best and clearest singer 15 threading video on UA-cam. Thank you!
Glad I could help
My new-to-me 15-91 arrives shortly and this is a wonderful video (as are your other 2) about the little things so necessary for success. Thanks for making these!
Best video on UA-cam to explain this. Thank you
Couldn't find anything on this anywhere else
thank you...got my machine working now! Got my threads in the wrong places! Glad i found your video
Wonderful instructions. Thank you!
I have several vsm's and 2 treadles so I really enjoy your tutorials.

Bet that machine does a great job with your patches. These things have very good piercing power.
@Lindsey Thompson it did now I can't get it to properly sew without pulling the thread out of the needle every time it goes through fabric

Can't thank you enough. Been trying to remember how to thread everything been decades.
I also struggled finding information, glad this was helpful for you
Thank you so much! I have an identical machine with a different serial number and was flummoxed on how to thread . Wonderful video.
Thank you for this wonderful instructional video.
Appreciate your efforts.
Bravo.
You did an outstanding job on video work. I will refer back to this. Than you.
Excellent video! Thank you! I had the thread in the spring before the other gizmo thing.
Thank you so much this is really helpful!!
Yeah! I wondered if I was going crazy. Now everything is wonderful and I can conclude that I am not going crazy. Thank You so much.
I simply cannot wrap my head around how the bobbin thread finds its way through the needle hole 🤯
Helpful, thank you!
Life saver, Thank you!
You made learning to thread my singer 15 a breeze
Thank you! I just got a Husqvarna CB 15 and this is basically the same.
That's a good looking machine, been keeping my eye out for an old Husqvarna unfortunately they are not common in my area.

They most likely restored it the original for the model 15s are usually a table
It's an oak frame I made
My spring has popped off on my bobbin. Can you show how to “rejoin” to the bobbin? Thank You
Thank you!!

I found a ag589568 the bobbin case lever go the opposite of what you were showing I don't know if its right or wrong..
Thank you
Yes that is exactly what I have an i need to learn how to make things with it please let me know if you can help
How do you replace the needle for it and what way does it go in
Your machine looks like it just came off the assembly line. Did you restore it? Great job!
Me encanta esa maquina. Cuanto diera por tener una en esas aprendi a cocer yo
Hi Lindsey! LOVE your videos. I have a 15-90 that I bought used because I learned to sew on my mothers YEARS ago.

Did your moms have a table? I have one with a table and the knee is the way it works you can get a table for it.
Have a singer 15 series treadle. The gasket/washer on bobbin winder broke off. And the set crew hasn’t been engaging. Wondering if you had any ideas?
Sounds like you just need a new bobbin tire, they are readily available on Amazon and other retailers
Will this sew thin leather
Hi Lindsey! Where can I get a wood case like that? Thanks!
I made it, perhaps I'll make a video of the process
Wow!
Thank you for this video. Can you please tell me what type sewing needle you use? Thank you.
I like the Schmetz or Organ brands. And this machine takes 15x1, needle size and type will depend on what your sewing
So I got mine all threaded but my bottom stitches are just a straight line? My top stitches are great but how do you make the bottom look like the stop stitching?
Sounds like you top tension is to loose. Try tightening it 1/8th - 1/4 turn.
@@jasons4545 I tried and it just didn’t make any difference..I changed the needle too and threaded the machine again and nothing. Eh…
Thank you so much for this video. I got old Singer, similar to yours. It continuously runs when power is on. How to stop? Its Singer AF 405107.
It sounds like there is an electrical short. The machine and pedal should be re-wired before further usage. A local sewing machine repair shop should be able to do this for you
Can you please tell me where to get needles that thread from the side instead of the front. I'm having trouble finding them. My machine won't sew at all and I think that is the problem. Thank you.

@@lindseythompson6521 thank you so much!
Please tell me where I can get that needles threading tool that you used, I have such difficulty threading a needle on my 15-91
It's a Singer Sewing Machine Serger Needle Threader, and it works very well I prefer it over the small ones
@@lindseythompson6521 thank you!! I have my mother in laws 15-91 and had it serviced and it works great. Just hard for my 67 year old eyes to thread
Thank you... I was pulling my hair out
Glad this was helpful
I can gate this mashine for how much pl,
Yo soy muy afortunada de tener mi 15 90 en su mueble original y sus accesorios también viene con un banquito guarda hilos y accesorios .
Is this the model with a potted motor?
Yes
I think threading the needle is usually from left to right. I do it that way but yours could do too. Never tried.
The manual shows right to left, threading it backwards can put the loop of thread on the wrong side of the needle and lead to skipped stitches
Literally can’t see how you’re the threading the bobbin, so far from the camera or with hands in the way. Guess there’s a certain amount of foreknowledge assumed 😅
Hi
I do not understand the mechanics of the stop motion screw. It is not shown how to adjust it.
The stop motion screw is the chrome knob in the center of the hand wheel. It should turn ~90° before hitting a mechanical stop.
