The Singer 191J: A Canadian-made Singer model that threads contrary to most Singer class 15 designs!. But why does it not want to sew?

I have three of these, 2 treadles, and one plotted motor. They are my favorite cast iron vintage machines. And now, thanks to this video, I can start paying around with it!

I discovered the issue of needle positioning and threading direction on my 1947 Singer when I simply forgot which way was which and got a whole lot of skipped stitches. Honestly, google did not help. Figured it out on my own through trial and error, and kicked myself in the end. LOL

I’m new to vintage machines and I have watched several of your past videos for great help. I picked up my second machine to restore this past week, a 191J! There is so little information online so I appreciate your timely video.

To my knowledge, most Japanese class 15 machines use the bobbin case position finger @ 1:00. I have a 15-91 that uses the 11:00 bobbin case. Maybe the Canadian factory got the bobbin assemblies from Elizabeth, N.J. Just a thought.

Now use a 201 K but had a 191 U made inJapan. It had seen better days so it didn’t look nice compared to your client’s fine example but sure produced a beautiful stitch. Very impressive and robust machine that could easily handle many layers of cotton. Threaded from left to right.

The needle clamp type like on 15-88, 221, 201 that means you should place flat side needle at left. Reversed shuttle means you need 11 o'clock bobbin case (easy to compare with classic shuttle). Anyway 15 class machines with 11 o'clock bobbin case have no problem with making stich, because engineers fixed one and only problem of 15 class, but in 60s Singer abandon this idea for economy reasons, but Russians made 15-88 clone from 1946 until 2001.

Well, it is like the class 15... the class 15-88/89/90/91. Those also use the 11 o'clock bobbin case and thread right to left.

Yes, its very similar to other Class 15 Singers, but actually, the needle on this model threads from the left to the right; just like the Singer 221, 301, and 201. That is what thru me off since most other Singers, such as those 15 class models you mentioned, do thread from right to left.

@@VintageSewingMachineGarage I'm a bit confused, as you show it threaded right (handwheel) to left (frontplate).... But nevertheless, my point was - even within the Class 15 there are models that thread fronplate -> handwheel and have a 1 o'clock bobbin case as most of us are used to and most of the Japanese clones are, and Class-15 variants that do it handwheel -> frontplate like the 221 and use the 11 o'clock bobbin case - especially some later versions with reverse. So you can be surprised even within the Singer Class 15 family.

Those Crazy Canadians! Often the pristine looking sewing machines were not used because they had some sort of problem. If a used machine is missing the bobbin cover door and/or the bobbin case there is a problem lurking in there because someone shifted the machine aside to get the job done with a backup machine and never came back to it.

I agree! We are crazy! 🙃 What's with milk coming in bags, eh? I spill it every time! 🤣

I have a Singer 215G, it looks soo similar to this, mine is new to me, looks super new because the previous owner literally didn't use it, and the oils are all gone sticky/totally thick. I still have to find a way to de-stick it and make the needle finally move again.

I have this German made machine too! Mine is in pristine condition. So cool that the feed dogs go down!

That is a tricky little machine! I have a couple machines that thread differently. I put a piece of tape on my machine that tells me the position of flat slide of needle and that it threads from right to left.
@pyotrilyichtchaikovskyii66384 ай бұрын
Isn't the 15M class threaded like this as well? Same frame too but the tensioner is on the faceplate instead.

I have a couple of singer 15k, they have the k style bobbins and the neddle and thread is opposite of our american 15s. Yet i have a 201k that threads from right to left! I think a lot of the kenmores are 1 oclock bobbins...when on a 15 I make sure ifim on a new jersey or a kilbowie machine

This machine, the 191J, threads from right to left. This is common to Singer 15 class machines.
