This is such a very well made instructional video! Perfectly clear without annoying music or unnecessary chatter. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, videos like your are worth 1,000 pictures. Thank you taking the time to produce such a carefully made video and for sharing your knowledge.
Excellent video that deserves a lot more views - no annoying music, no annoying chatter for 10 minutes before you get to the point, really good close-ups that make it easy to follow and copy on our own machines. It's so nice to see a video from someone who really knows what they're doing. Thank you. I'll be recommending this.
Thank you Megan ☺️ Your comments inspire me to make more videos on these vintage machines. I must admit that I feel sad that It was not getting more views… But I’m happy to make more videos for viewers like you who appreciates the work of small UA-camrs like me. It makes me so happy ☺️
@@sewwithmrsg I will certainly be recommending these videos. In fact I already have. I hope you get more views and the word spreads because these absolutely deserve to get lots and lots of views.
You’re welcome! Thanks as well for taking the time to leave me a lovely comment. It motivates us, UA-cam creators, to set aside time to make tutorials, despite our busy and sometimes challenging private lives ☺️
I've just found you as I've been searching information on vintage Singer hand crank. I'm looking to buy one on eBay to add to my collection of machines, as I love the mechanics of them. Your tutorials are the best I've seen on UA-cam, so clear the correct speed and no unnecessary chatter. I will definitely recommend you and look forward to more. I'm thinking about a 66k because I love the decals.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ☺️ I will do my best to make more useful videos for all of you, and thank you for recommending my videos as well! I have been terribly busy but I’ll be uploading new videos soon. I love love the simplicity of the Singer 66 machine. If you’re in Australia I have another Singer 66 Lotus that I’m considering to find a new Mom. Hope you find a nice one near you. Thanks again!
Love the dart tip! I'm going to try that on my next project with darts. Thanks. Funny but we have very similar vintage machines. My lotus 66K is a treadle, and my handcrank is a 28. The bobbin winder iis in a different spot. It is down low. I love the simplicity, strength and sound of these old machines. I appreciate you not talking incessantly during the video. It is very calming and relaxing to watch. Thank you.
Thank you for watching my videos ☺️ I love these old machines! My lotus was originally a treadle too but I moved it to a portable case. I have a video about how I moved it but haven’t uploaded it yet. Now my 319k is on the treadle. I learned the dart tip from my 319k manual ☺️ I appreciate your taking the time to leave a lovely comment. It really helps me to do my best to improve my tutorials.Thank you for subscribing, it’ll help my small channel. Thanks heaps! ❤️
Thank you very much for this video!! I have a very old hand crank Husqvarna and you've helped me understand the basics. Can't wait to start sewing with it.
I tried to reverse stitch on my hand crank Singer 12 Transverse shuttle. I attempted it with the same technique you demonstrated for the 66. That didn't work so well, but the way you just did it worked great.
You can try the technique that I used for this handcrank singer 128 sewing machine. Backstitching with a handcrank machine is a bit different to the singer 66 electric or treadle model.
I've always left the needle down, lifted the foot, turned my project 180 degrees and then sewn back 4 to six stitches. This looks much easier and quicker, will have to try it. Will it also work with a rotary hook and oscillating hook?
I believe this technique will work with most old machines. Please let me know when you tried this technique. I sometimes backstitch this way with my bernina 950 industrial. It has its backstitch lever close to the hand wheel so when I already have my right hand closer to the presser foot lifter, I just back stitch in this way rather than reaching for the backstitch lever. Thanks again and I hope you like, share and subscribe to my channel to see more tutorials on these old but excellent machines ☺️
@@sewwithmrsg this technique also works with vibrating shuttle. It just takes a lot of coordination to lift the presser foot reverse Stitch and treadle all the same time without going too fast.
@@dalesuhre6522 yes it works with most machines, even with modern ones. I sometimes do this technique with my Bernina industrial 950. It has a reverse lever but when my right hand is closer to the presser foot lifter than the reverse lever (when I’m guiding the fabric with both hands) I just use this technique. With practice you can use this technique even when sewing fast. Please share my videos to help my channel to grow. Thank you ☺️
Hi Pamela, I haven’t tried using a featherweight, but I think it’s possible. If you try it, please let us know so the others who read the comments here will know as well. Thanks for watching ❤️
Hi Jenny, thank you. That works for my other one but not for this machine. I even thought that it has the wrong size shuttle when I bought it. I thought it was the reason why a part of the shuttle was broken - because it was too hard to remove, the previous owner hold into the sticking part to remove the shuttle. But yes that’s how to remove a shuttle and that works for my other machine.

Clear, concise, visible, beautiful, thank you!
You’re welcome, Maggie, and thanks for your lovely comment ☺️

Thank you 😊

Will do, thanks for watching ☺️
Love your videos!
Thank you, Pamela ☺️
Amazing. I’ll have to give that dart trick a spin.
Great! Let me know how it went 😊
Very good back stitching lesson. Thanks
Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much Mrs G your video is very helpful 😊❤👏

That’s so clever! I’ll be sure to try it out on my Singer 66 that is currently fitted with a hand crank. ❤
@@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778 thank you 😊
Thanks for the video just learning how to use my 99k I've refurbished.

SEW with Mrs G I'm in the U.K. So can't rehome your 66k 😞
@@felicitycleave8604 I'm sure you'll find a nice one there :)
I have NEVER seen that done with thread, EVER! WOW
@MissGroves thank you! I learned that (sewing dart without thread tail) from one of the old machines user manual :)
I haven’t seen that before either! I’ll have to watch it again a few times to see exactly how you did that!
Thank you ☺️
Thanks for showing us this

Can backstitch be done on a featherweight 221 as well?

To remove the shuttle press the tip and it pops up x

Freely the banana girl? The girl famous for her all banana diet? That’s crazy.
Wow these are amazing tricks!!
Thank you!
