Thankyou - excellent, clear, straight to the point and very helpful.
Thanks also for NOT including loud music, gimmickry and the everyday preferences of your great aunt's neighbour's cat.
You are a rare and wonderful teacher.
Thank you for your very kind (and amusing!) comment. :)
So pleased that the video was of assistance to you.
Excellent presentation. Photography, lighting and script were clear. I can't imagine how a user obtained a firm understanding on using these before UA-cam unless they had a sewing circle of experienced members helping each other.
Thank you for your lovely comment!
This video is beautifully done and was very easy to follow. Great job.
South, aside from using the manuals that came with the original machines and/or accessories, sewing was a skill that was most often "passed down" by mother to daughter in ye olde days as part of the domestic training for when the young girl would one day marry and thus be expected to run a household of her own. My grandmother, who was born in 1911, was a very talented seamstress. She taught my mom (b. 1942), and later her granddaughters (all b. 1970s), when each of us were in our early-to-mid teens. I'm sitting here today, reviving my old skills after a few decades of non-sewing, to take a refresher course on which attachment did what function. The ultimate irony? I have a Singer 301A, a Singer 15-95, and a Singer 15-30 "sphinx" treadle machine, which are all machines on which I was trained, and which I got as I came across them in the past year or so. Can I use a modern machine? Sure, but the new machines, with their plastic innards and admittedly weak motors, can't handle heavier fabrics the way the old Singers can. The older machines are also much easier to work on: all metal parts, with straightforward and easy maintenance.
I'm so delighted that you found this video useful.
What a lovely story of your machines' histories ❤️
Thank you so very much for sharing!
I agree wholeheartedly with you on the topic of modern machines. There's just something so wonderfully trustworthy and reliable about the old darlings.
Thank you again!
There had to be women's sewing and quilting clubs in the days before youtube, it all was a skill grandma taught her daughter who taught her daughter, most men were not part of that as it was considered "womans' work", but it was men that didnt sew who invented and designed the machine and attachments oddly enough!!
I want to use my SInger 101 to make some curtains, it will be a good first time project too since I've never really did any work with a sewing machine.
@HobbyOrganist Absolutely - gatherings of women for sewing and quilting is a very well documented occurrence.
Curtains are an excellent project to start with! I wish you much enjoyment and every possible success :)
I'm having my Singer 1898 treadle machine delivered today. These attachments absolutely fascinate me. I know what to look for now. It's too cold to work on my 1950 motorbike project, so my new hobby is sewing. My ' new ' machine was 49 when I was born ! Yikes !
Brilliant video , clear , concise with super presentation. Thank you VERY much indeed.
How amazing!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the kind words.
Thank you for this video. I marvel at the people that designed these attachments in the first place! I’ve looked at these types of feet for years and couldn’t for the life of me figure out what they did. Your research and demonstrations are very well done and much appreciated. Thanks again!
My pleasure!
I'm always happy to be able to help demystify these marvelous attachments :)
Thanks so much for the details. It's hard to believe that my mother, in the 1950's ,was using such sophisticated techniques on her old Singer. I can't wait to try some for myself.
They're such amazing tools! So glad that I could add to your knowledge and understanding. Have fun :)
Oh my goodness! What a great video. I got a box of attachments with my second hand machine 48 years ago. I never knew how to use any of them. I couldn't even imagine how that weird contraption (that I now know is a ruffler) could possibly be used. I'm not sure why I kept all these attachments that I didn't know how to use, but I'm glad I did because now I finally know!
That is amazing!! I'm so glad that you didn't get rid of any of them, and delighted that I could be instrumental in you learning how to use them :)
Yeah, it's a relief to find out their uses. I have a number of them too. They were left by my great aunt
That's great. Have fun :)
So helpful! You're the first person who has explained how to run the tucks under the tuck marker against the blade -- and even so, I'm going to have to watch it several more times, I think, to get it right. Terrific video.
I'm so pleased that this video was useful to you! Thank you for taking the time to comment :)
It can be tricky to create content on items that have been around for over a century without just regurgitating everyone else's contributions... so I'm really glad that there was something new for you here.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on these pieces, it’s very difficult at times to find information on these unique presser feet and features for older machines. I love the older machines because they are more durable and are less expensive to care for in comparison to the newer models, which have electronic touch screens and made with plastic cases. I appreciate your videos so much.
❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
You definitely reached your goal to bring new insight on these attachment feet! Thank you for the wonderful tips!
Thank you so much for your feedback!
This is incredibly helpful. Thank you.
I find rolled hemming feet incredibly frustrating. Next time I try them out, I’m going to refer to your advice.
They are nasty little things 🤣
And it's amazing just how much added frustration can be caused if the scroll isn't curled correctly.
But I'm glad that you found this video helpful. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment :)
I agreed. They seem so simple but stubborn at the same time.
Many thanks for the video. I guess this is the only video teaching how to use these accessories on UA-cam.
Thanks, Eliane. There are some videos showing the attachments without demonstrations ... And some showing attachment demonstrations by name ...
But I figured that many people don't know what the attachments are called (they just have a drawer full of metal like in the opening sequence!) ... so a full descriptive, in-depth, demonstration video might be useful :)
No ruler needed, if you have a Quilter! I am Brazilian and fell in love with sewing machines, last year. And thanks to the Market Place, many people were selling them, and attachments, and Manuals.
I lived watching this! Thank you! The actual method of using the binder foot had me boggled but this tutorial totally simplified the process.
Thank you so much for your feedback :)
I'm glad that the instructions were clear.
Cannot thank you enough for these tutorials.
I was trying to find a book that explained all these attachments with no success.
I love these vintage machines and collect vintage attachment boxes when thrifting.
Looking forward to more tutorials.
You're very welcome :)
So glad that it was of use to you.
I can tell you really enjoy sewing because of the patience you've had to take the time to explain in such detail the functions of each accessory, demo-ing how it works, not to forget about the creativity in producing the video!!! I have a few of these that I will now be able to use thanks to you. Much, much appreciated!!! (Subbed!🥰)
How kind of you to leave such a lovely comment. Thank you for this and for the subscription! :)
I'm so glad that you feel able to use your attachments after watching this video.
@@24Washington Most welcome!!!
Just bought an old Singer 632 with most of these accessories and since I am new to sewing machines,
these parts was a mystery to me, up until now. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
Best wishes from Mrs. Singer and me from Norway 😊
How wonderful!
I wish you much happiness with your machine, and I am glad that my video could teach you about the attachments :)
Such marvelous feats of tiny engineering and design! I’ll need to study this video multiple times and try some on my Singer 99k.
You'll have so much fun!
Watching the results come to life under the needle is absolutely amazing.
Excellent. I found an original Singer tin box of gadgets and I was able to use them on my Japanese Monarch Deluxe sewing machine. Thank you so much!!!!!
This is wonderful!
I'm so pleased that my video could help you use your gadgets :)
Thank you for taking the time to comment
WOW thank you, so much. I got an old feather-light 1950 sewing machine in great condition I have used it for + more than 40 years now with all the attachments. I love the simple strong machine again thank you.
Thank you for showing the ruffled foot. I’ve had one for years and, never understood how to use it. I just wished the included an instruction manual with them so you can make calculations on how to make adjustments for attaching lace trim that needs to be gathered on a garment.
I loved how you compiled your video and, the accuracy in which you demonstrated these sew attachments.❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It's truly wonderful to have been able to shed some light on an attachment for you :)
If I'm understanding your 3rd sentence correctly, I think the difficulty with the calculations for ruffled material is that much depends on your stitch length. So many of the older machines didn't have numbered stitch length settings (only a sliding post or even a screw)... not to mention that the ruffler itself has an unnumbered depth adjustment. So much can vary.
Being able to give a clear formula for needed lengths of trim becomes rather difficult.
The best thing I can suggest would be to try to ruffle some scrap "ribbon" (strips of material joined end-to-end, pre-marked in 1-ft increments?) over top of a different 1-foot piece of fabric. This would give you a fairly good estimation of trim needed per foot of under-fabric.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks again!
this is absolutely incredible, thank you so much! these explanations (and better yet, demonstrations!) are so clear that i feel like i understand exactly what's going on, despite never having used a machine before. i can't wait to put it all to use once my great grandmothers machine is up and running again
Your videos are THE BEST!!! So detailed, clean and clear. I can tell you work hard on scripting and editing. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
What a lovely message. Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment! :)
I needed this I just got a 1931 singer with tons of these attachments in a box
Fantastic!!! So glad this could help you.
Glad to see there are some feet for traditional sewing machine while others just for portable and industrial sewing machine.
Yes! Attachments exist for so many functions and machines :)
That was a masterpiece of a video.
From your research, photography, lighting, explanation and demonstration it was amazing and extremely helpful.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you so much for this delightful comment.
It's so wonderful to have provided information that continues to help others :)
first video Ive found with demonstrations. thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment :)
Wonderful video - you definitely achieved your goal of making something that breaks new ground in vintage attachment videos. I really love how you showed the evolution of some of the attachments, and how they look when they’ve come apart! I bet you & Bernadette Banner could collaborate to do a video about how changes in fashion and sewing habits changed what accessories went into the boxes of each era.. Actually, either of you could probably do that video on your own, it just would be more fun to collaborate :-).
Cheers and many thanks for the hours of planning and filming and editing that went into making such a beautifully structured, extremely helpful, short film.
What a delightful comment to read as the start to my day!! I'm so pleased to know that my video has had a positive impact on another person :)
Thank you ever so much for taking the time to include so many details with your kind words.
I truly appreciate them.
How wonderful to find this video, I have many of these attachments that belong to my early 1900 treadle machine, inherited from my Great Grandmother. Perhaps now I can put them to some use.
Brilliant. Thanks for this. I've been puzzling over my box of mystery attachments and doing things the hard way for 20 years!
Awww. So glad to be able shed some light on the topic!
Attachments are so much fun.
I'm back for a refresher. Thank you again!
Excellent!!
I learned to sew in the 1960s on a Singer Featherweight, and did many of these tasks by hand. I have my grandmother's Singer treadle and am stunned to learn that all her attachments in the side drawers enabled her to make garments far superior to what I dreamed. Thank you for this lovely video. I look forward to watching more from you.
This is so helpful. I just purchased a vintage machine with a TON of attachments. Your video will help me begin to understand their purpose and how to use them. Well Done!
That's wonderful! So pleased to be able to help :)
Careful, clear, accurate. Thank you for your labors. As to rolled hems, I'm just going to go on doing it by hand; after 30 years, it comes out nice and even and smooth, and no frustration. In all these years, I've never EVER gotten a rolled hem foot to do a good job; so I just finger press it as I go, cheerfully ignoring the "helpful" attachment.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Rolled hems ... hahaha I think you've summarised the outcome for most! The attachment is most definitely fiddly and finicky!
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I’m new to sewing and absolutely love old sewing machines🎉
You are very welcome! Thank you for such a kind comment.
I've just thrifted a set of attachments for my antique Singer. You video was so sooo helpful with identifying and starting to use them. Thank you so much!
Brilliant!!!!! You're very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to comment :)
My table has the knee lift and knee sew which I love. I love the front drop in bobbin
Your presentation as well as your voice are excellent. Thank you. I have been acquiring some vintage machines with some of these attachments. Now I will be able to start to use them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I'm so glad that the information was pertinent to you.
It's always such a delight to know that my content continues to educate and inspire people :)
You're back!! And with such an informative video! You're wonderful at explaining each foot, I have a few of those and the demonstrations are very helpful. I'll probably revisit it many times haha. Thank you and hope you have a nice day!
Yes, it's been a while and I am truly so sorry!!
Thank you so much for sticking around. I deeply appreciate your lovely comment.
Always feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
Take care :)
Thank you for these demonstrations! These are some amazing inventions, and it certainly takes a skilled seamstress to make all these fancy additions to a garment!
It'd be an outrageous garment for sure, where every last attachment was used!!! 🤭
I just found my first trundle sewing machine. It works, happy happy me. It has a bullet shaped bobbin, looking forward to learning how to use it. Thank you for sharing 👏🏻😻🏵
You are very welcome. And congrats on your find!
I haven't done any basic instructionals on using the shuttle/bullet bobbins, but perhaps I should do in the future :)
Hi there, this was an interesting and informative video, I really enjoyed it. You were very clear and precise with your explanations and demonstrations. Thank you for a job well done.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
I'm so pleased you enjoyed and learned from this video.
Awesomely-clearly explained the use of these fantastic Singer attachments! I have them all here in Lima (Peru). Many thanks!
Wonderful! I'm always delighted to see how far my videos can travel across the world :)
So glad that you found the information to be useful.
Thank you for leaving a comment.
@@24Washington It may sound incredible but I bought many rare -almost-new Singer attachments from an old provider. What I love most are the ruffler and the roll hemmer. I use them a lot for making ballet tutus with my vintage zig zag Singer. I even use the treadle!
That's so amazing!! Congratulations :)
I love my treadle machines SO much.
I'm so happy to hear of another machine being well used.
This is a perfect video on the subject of these antique attachments! Brilliant!
I have been looking for a video like this for the past five or six years, since I acquired a box of cryptic attachments like these with an industrial sewing machine that I purchased.
I have only just this week learned that mine are top clamp attachments for an old treadle machine (which explains why I've never been able to figure out even how to attach them), and this week I am exploring how these all work, and where to acquire the low shank versions for my Model 15 clones.
This is really a tremendous video. Thanks so much!
I'm so pleased to have been able to contribute this video to the sewing machine knowledge banks, and am glad that it was useful to you :)
Thank you for your comment!
Thank you so much for this video! I find myself with two Singer model 27 machines (both in need of repair/restoration) and a box of attachments that I have no idea what they do. This video is exactly what I needed!
Brilliant!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback :)
So glad the video was useful to you.
Fascinating!!!
I wish this video would have shown how to connect the lace with the hemmer foot but maybe I can figure it out on my own now. Thanks for the helpful video
Ahh - yes - that would have been a good one to add! Thank you for this observation, and I hope you are successful in working it out :)
Wonderful tutorial; thanks for sharing! I’ve had my mother’s treadle machine for about 3 decades & have never attempted to use these attachments! You explain so well! Now I need to get the tension corrected because it hasn’t been in use for about 30+ years.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your comment.
How wonderful to have your mother's treadle! I would imagine that only the top tension would need to be adjusted. But it's also possible that the machine just needs a good oiling.
Try using it slowly and you might be surprised!
Good luck :)
Nice. I bought a grab bag of sewing machine feet because I wanted a ruffler. I didn't realize how old some of the pieces probably are.
How fun! They can be treasures :)
This was very very informative and easy to understand 👍🏻 Thank you 💜
Wonderful! Thank you for stopping by and for leaving a comment.
Thank you so much for this video. I have learned a lot and now I need to go practice. I have a load of attachments that came with my Model 66 from Feb 1916
Hello! Very good and informative video!!!
Thank you so much! Nice to see you again :)
The best ever video, your detail teaching on these vintage attachment feet is very appreciated! I saved it to my YT "vintage sewing machine ' list!
Thanks so much
Thank you for your lovely comment!! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and found it useful.
i am a designer and i am designing a part for my client , this vedio was very usefull guide thank you.
Wonderful! I'm glad you found this useful. Good luck on your project.
My singer model is a 201-2 mint condition with table and bench I bought in New Jersey with all these attachments mint for $115 dollars! Even the green paper box
Terrific find!
I have a knee lift on my vintage 'industrial' 31-15, and always miss it when I return to my domestic.
Great presentation. Thank you for sharing. Predict I’ll be doing a number of replays when attempting to use the tools of my vintage manual machine. May struggle with the hemmer as only have one hand free. Can’t wait to get started and I’ve had he machine years but didn’t know how to use the attachments because despite having a booklet, I learn better watching someone do something. 😊
I'm so glad that you found this video useful. I made it precisely because I am also a visual learner and sometimes struggle getting my head around instructions.
Thanks for the feedback, and good luck on your use of the attachments!
@@24Washington thank you kindly.
This was fascinating! I was shocked when the video ended because it felt like it had only been maybe 5 mins or so rather than nearly 24 minutes already!
I recently bought a National/Eldridge Two Spool Treadle Sewing Machine in it's original 4 drawer desk and once I got it home, was shocked to find that not only was the original instruction manual included, but there was also 2 black metal boxes with a purple interior (one reads "ATTACHMENTS" and the other "ROTARY") filled with a variety of accessories (one matched up to a fragile piece of paper tucked up into the lid explaining what the one attachment was and how to use it!) and the other metal box had a variety of old cleaning tools. And then in another drawer was the original treadle belt rolled up neatly as well as an additional paper envelope with even more accessories and more modern cleaning tools. WOW!!!!
Here I thought I was simply buying a beautiful old treadle that I literally knew absolutely nothing about at the time that I purchased it (other than it's a human powered machine, gorgeous, and I just had to have it), but after doing some research into what it is that I've actually bought, and then exploring it's condition, the model, the brand, etc, I've discovered that it does indeed have the spool can with it (extremely rare to find if missing from what I've heard), all the parts are there except needing a new treadle belt, and I'll need to give it a good cleaning and oiling everywhere.
And then to find all these accessories and cleaning tools and even the original users manual?! I'm pretty sure I got this for a steal btw. I paid less than $200 for all this and so far in my observations and research, the only things I need to purchase to get it working is sewing machine oil and a new treadle belt totaling about $20.
So for approximately $205, I will soon have a functioning (1913?? - that's the last patent date listed on it) National/Eldridge Two Spool Treadle Sewing Machine with extra attachments, cleaning tools, and the original user manual. Simply incredible!!
Once I get it cleaned up and the belt on, you better believe that I'm going to learn how to use this beauty. What good does it do to just sit there and look nice? The real value comes from knowing how to use such an amazing, gorgeous machine.
Oh wow! That is absolutely incredible!!!
It certainly sounds like you found an amazing machine with a veritable treasure trove of extras.
I'm going to have to do some reading on your two-spool machine now. I'm hugely intrigued.
Thank you for sharing such a fascinating story and for feeding my own hunger for knowledge :)
@24Washington
No problem and that'd be great! Maybe you know of some resources about treadle machines that I don't and haven't stumbled across just yet. Up until a few weeks ago, I never realized they ever made machines that didn't use bobbins but instead you use two spools to do the sewing. (That seems the better way to go unless it was too expensive to purchase more thread than a project needed?? Or it made more money for the company to sell extra pieces like multiple bobbins you could have pre-wound and ready to go??)
My machine model is "H44664". I haven't been able to find anything out about my specific model, so I'm relying on videos like yours to teach me what similar machines and available attachments can be used for.
I just got the new belt put on a couple days ago and then got the sewing machine oil in the mail. So far I've given it a good cleaning everywhere with the oil but did NOT have time to oil it properly yet. I only tried out the treadle function long enough to make sure the belt was tight enough but don't want to risk parts & gears rubbing metal on metal until I oil everything. I plan to get to this part next week so I can practice figuring out how to keep the machine running with the correct rhythm before putting any thread or material in it (I heard you say to keep the presser foot up so the dogs don't get damaged)
Thank you so much for this video! I have acquired several antique and vintage machines - the oldest one in my collection is 121 years old - and most came with several of these wonderful gadgets but no instructions for using them. What few instructions I have are often scanned and found online, or they are incomplete. One of my machines has no documentation at all, online or otherwise. But it seems the attachments were basically universal, so this is helpful. Plus, I learn better from videos than from written instructions for stuff like this. So thank you for the well-presented video!
Wonderful! I'm glad to have been able to help.
I hope you can put the information to good use :)
Thank you for your video on sewing machine accessory's. I recently got my roughly 120 year old Standard brand sewing machine going and have yet to try out all of its mysterious accessory's. Your video was very enlightening and much appreciated. I only just happened upon your channel for the accessory's subject and have had to watch quite a few more of them. Your very engaging in your presentation. It looks like you had been taking a bit of a break from your channel. Being I have a UA-cam channel I realize its quite a bit of extra work for the reward. In my case its just a nice way of sharing to a few more people than immediate friends. I hope you continue your projects and sharing them.
I really enjoy your exploring the world of the past.
- Ed
Thank you for such a lovely message, Ed :)
I'm so glad that you are enjoying the videos and how wonderful that you are giving new life to your Standard sewing machine! Congrats.
I am a very busy homeschooling/gardening/working-from-home mother, so unfortunately I do not have the opportunity to present videos as frequently as I might like. It is very meaningful when people like you offer their kind words of appreciation.
Thanks again.
Awesome video! This is very useful information and I really appreciate the clear demonstrations.
Excellent! Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm so pleased that it has been useful to so many people!
Thank You for the most useful information yet.
You're so very welcome!
Thank you for the presentation. This video has for sure motivated me to use the attachments I have been collecting .I usually find them as a bonus when I buy vintage or antique sewing machines. One attachment I did not see you using was a darning foot,I found a couple of them in the drawers of a singer model 101 a purchased about a year ago.I was told they are somewhat rare and expensive if they are original.
I have a separate video at ua-cam.com/video/MEC4GVOfLs8/v-deo.html about using the darning tool that Singer made (though I don't use the Singer made darning foot).
I think I've seen a two different variations (though they may be more) - one with a smaller eye at the base, and one larger.
Best thing is to research the stamped part numbers to verify exactly what they are.
I love finding attachments in drawers. Each new machine is an exciting new opportunity :)
Спасибо! Удивительные гаджеты!😊
This is the most informative presentation on sewing machine feet I have ever seen! Well done and thank you. Kind regards from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺🦘
Thank you so much for your very lovely compliment!
I'm so pleased that the information was beneficial to you!
Excellent. Also, we will see if I can follow your perfectly clear demonstration and actually use some of these things. I have my great grandmother's treadle machine, a Singer No. 27. And what seems to be a nearly complete wooden box of attachments. Looks like I am missing the screwdrivers. I even have a very ancient-looking paper packet for Singer sewing needles (price 5 cents, needles long gone).
Wonderful! I wish you the very best of luck.
Thank you - This was so useful with the demonstrations ! Excellent !
I'm so pleased that you found it useful.
Thank you for taking the time to comment :)
@@24Washington Looking around I found that I have an edging foot, adjustable hemmer, binder and tuck marker that I didn't know how to use ! GREAT ! Thank you !
Thank you very much. I am new too sewing and just received a vintage machine. This has helped me understand the attachments and what they are for. I can now try to use them. Great clarity on the pictures/video.
Thanks for the comment. It's excellent to know that this video helped provide you with needed information.
Good luck with your sewing experience! Vintage machines are wonderful :)
An outstanding video in every way! I have a Singer 101-3 machine on a library table that I am restoring and it came with a bunch of attachments that I have no idea what they are or how they are used, I did see several of them in the video!
One other attachment I have is a buttonholer in a green plastic case with a manual from 1960
Thank you for this comment!!
Button holders are such amazing devices. They have an interesting progression in design development all of their own.
I also found such a green Singer case, but it appears to an industrial sewing machine walking foot, no manual yet. Is your buttonholer functional?
Thank you so much! This video alone is worth a subscription
Thanks for the comment and subscription!
So pleased that this content was useful to you :)
@@24Washington It most definitely was, thank you. I have a herd of Iron Ladies and tons of attachments. I was using them but not efficiently. Excellent content. More more more xo
Absolutely great and clear video.
Thank you :) I'm so pleased it was useful to you
@@24Washington Did you see my question on the next post.
Good presentation on youtube. Dont usually respond to likes and dislikes. This is the one time that deserves to be commented on. Excellent and as advised was not a repeat of someone else. Not to slow, not to fast, but explain just right and was very informative. Out of 5 stars this is rated 5
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad that I met my objective and that you gained some insight.
All the best.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm so pleased that the video gave you some help :)
@@24Washington It sure did Thanks again
This video is totally excellent! I got a treadle machine off NextDoor and spent a few days refurbishing parts and oiling. It has all the attachments you go over, but I had no idea what most of them did (I usually weld, not sew - LOL)! I took them to a local sewing machine shop where they give classes., They only knew what a few of them did, but they were too busy to show me anything about them. No one knew what the Tucker did! Other videos showed what some of the parts were, but did NOT show how to use them. Thank you for such a great video; nicely filmed and expertly narrated. Kindest regards -
Thank you so much for your comment.
I, too, had seen videos where they talked about the attachments, but didn't actually demonstrate them ... so I'm glad that my video could address this!
So wonderful that you have been able to do a refurb on an old treadle, and I hope you can enjoy it even more now with knowledge of all of the add-ons!
I always wondered what that half moon plate was for. Thanks for the video, very helpfull
So glad you found it helpful :) Thank you for taking the time to comment!
@@24Washington i have lots of feet but don't know how to use half of them. The instructions that shows how to use some of the feet was written by someone who knew how to use it, expecting everyone else to know what they were talking about, and the illustrations are terrible, lol.
Haha. I hear you loud and clear.
This video helped identify some of the metal bits that came with my hand crank singer's
Excellent! I'm so glad that you know what some of the bits are, now.
Fabulous video. I am excited to go to the flea market this weekend and see what I can find!
Good luck!!
This video is so helpful , I ‘ve found a Singer 15 dated 1914 with all these “strange” objects and I really was curious to learn how to use them. So really THANK YOU from Tuscany.
How wonderful that this video can help people all across the world!
Thank you so much for your comment and I hope you enjoy your machine AND attachments!
Many, many thanks for this clear explanation.
You're most welcome :)
Thank you! After wanting one for some years, I finally picked up a treadle powered machine (an improved high armed Windsor) last week at an estate sale. And while I haven't been able to find much information on it, videos like yours have at least been pointing me in the right direction on how to care and use it
That's so lovely! Thank you for taking the time to comment. It's great to know that my videos can reach beyond Singer machine users. :)
Wishing you all the best for your sewing machine adventures.
@@24Washington Pretty sure Singer folk like you are going to be the best source of information for me, so thanks again for such a straightforward and clear video.
While some of them were obvious, like a second presser foot and bobbin spools. Others escaped me until your video, the seam edge guide and five different binder attachments. Of which are not separate feet, but attach the same way as the seam edge guide and I can't wait to try them. Now to find a hemmer foot....
VERY interesting tin Singer set in the intro with the Johnston ruffler. I have some other and one of the "style 14"
The accessories are so diverse and so fascinating.
@@24Washington I have been keeping an eye out for the Singer tin sets and helping another with researching them. I have the 1887 peerless button hole attachment for the VS2 and keeping that eye out for the peerless embroidery attachments, would love to find either a single or double spool one for the VS2. Love to see them work. I think i have most of the rufflers.
Yes, i love this video show, it the best ever seen, you are a talent and proffessional teacher, thank you to share it, may God bless yiu and your love'ones🙏🌹🙋♀️,
Thank you so much for your very kind comment :)
I am so happy that the information was useful to you!
Thank you.... Some of my attachments were disconnected and now I feel I may determine what parts go together.
Excellent!!! I'm so glad that I included this information :)
This video is so fab! I have so many of these attachments and not withstanding trial and error I am never really certain I am using them properly. Thank you!
Thank you SO much for taking the time to comment ❤️
I hope some clarity was afforded by the content of this video, but practice is always a bonus!!
All the best.
Beautiful Singer 15 RAF
Thank you! It's my treasure :) (especially having grown up around the corner from the RAF Museum in London!)
@@24Washington I bet thats something to see! Mom was in London during the Blitz and throughout the war, many stories about it, very, very scary times. She brought her Singer 15 RAF to the states after the war, we still have it, a wonderful machine!
Amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this story. There's so much history in that decal, isn't there? Moreso, I think, than any other that Singer produced.
Thanks for the explanations. I'd often puzzled over the mystery items!
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to have been able to shed some light on them :)
