Thank you for watching and taking care of the grandmas. Really amazed that these machines are still sewing quite well.

Update, i did manage to set the timing on my featherweight. I still like the 128 more though :)

Wow. You did it! Congratulations 🎉

Wow. Congratulations! I still fo back to this machine and crank it. There's something about the rhythm that I find very soothing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks John. You put a smile on my face when you mentioned 'my technique'.

Wow❣So happy for you and it was your great grandmother's! Very special. Thank you for trying😊

@@vintagetall6152 ❤️ thank you, your calm positive attitude was just what I needed

How are you making out with the 66 , i know it can be frustrating but dont quit,,,,,,look up Bob Fowler on youtube , he has videos walking threw it all , and maybe you will fix it , if i was close to you i would look at it for free , love solving old singers issues ....good luck hope this helps....

@@4486xxdawson I didn’t quit! I got it working, and it’s lovely! Doesn’t miss a stitch. Bob Fowlers videos have been really useful too - this 66 is a beautiful machine

@@launchingmonsters7398 Thats awesome and knowing its passed down is even better , im care taker of many machines that i was told were peoples grandparents and it some times makes me sad they dont want it , but i know im saving it from scrap or sitting in a corner of a garage rusting away and giving them new life makes if better , i hope you have someone in the family you can pass it down to one day and they appreciate it as well .....

What a great story! It is meant to be for you. It was as if it was wanting to be under your care. So happy that you will try your best to restore it. Your 201 sounds special😊.

@@vintagetall6152 Yes, it was as if the 128 was left out especially for me. The 201 is very dear to me indeed. My Mother was gifted the machine when it was new, she had started garment sewing when she was 13 years old and went on to become a tailor. With the 201 my Mother made her own wedding dress and clothed our family including making my Father’s suits. It’s more than just a sewing machine to me, it’s part of the family and it’s my duty to use it and to take care of it. I’m glad to have found your videos.

Reading that and all I can say is WOW ! Both to your mother's talent and to the hardworking 201. So true what you said about being more than "just" a sewing machine. We have become stewards of these machines for now. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking notice of the 1953 Singer. It will run better after you take care of it.

Thank you. Yes, it is quite special😊

Thank you very much!

Thank you.😊 Am very happy for you❣️ What projects are you going to do with your Singer 127?

Thank you! 🤗

Congratulations on your 128K. Enjoy unveiling its beauty. Thanks for sharing the news❣️

I am glad you liked the video. Yes, I will do more machines on this channel. Thank you.

Thanks Coleen. I will try Gojo on another machine that I have to clean. Will update you how it turns out.🤓

For anyone outside of the US, it looks like Gojo is just orange oil cleaner.

Please make sure your Gojo does NOT have pumice!

@@robinr6399 Correct. I used the original formula, no pumice. I just posted a video about my experience with it.

@@ColleenMarble Colleen, I just found your KZfaq channel! Great videos! You've got another follower here. Thanks for pointing me your way!

Hello. Oh I thought of putting pressure foot down as practice in sewing mode. Good point. I have another one to clean and I will take note of that observation, Thanks.

Hello Daniel. Yes, I bought Organ brand needles and use them for all my Singer vintage sewing machines and does the job. Hope this helps.

I will try to look for my files. I know I bought it on Ebay. Just moved so my things are still in boxes. Will update you.

Oh this takes a regular or standard Singer (or Singer compatible) bobbin tire for vintage Singer sewing machines. It's my 28K that takes the bigger one. Regular sized Singer bobbin tires are available in Amazon too.

Hello Dan. Perhaps checking on Ebay and how much they are going for can give you an idea on pricing. You can check FB marketplace too to see what they are selling for. Good luck.

Привет за сколько вы продадите назовите цену, но я мечтала купить ZiNGER если есть возможность продать скажите я Зуламне 68 лет живу франции

You are so right. Confidence & Courage. That will be my mantra. I will build mine up as I discover and learn more about my vintage sewing machines. Thank you. 😊

@@vintagetall6152 REALLY nice job on your 127! Depending on age and condition, you may not have to take a machine completely apart. It might be wise to confer with Andy or Bob about that before taking anything apart. There are some things that only experts should attempt. I've been refurbing a recently acquired 201-2. At least one of its gear assemblies should not be taken apart because they were calibrated in the factory and one might not get them back together exactly as they should be. Bob Fowler has been incredibly helpful and I'd ask him about such things. Rods and linkages on the underside can be wiped down with alcohol to remove old varnished oil, carefully cleaned with a small brass brush, then brushed with a light coating of sewing machine oil (and artist's brush is great for this). Bob has lots of wonderful videos about removing, cleaning, oiling and replacing balance wheels. I had to build up confidence too. I now can take a motor apart, clean and reassemble it. I can disassemble and clean the bobbin assembly on various machines, I'm learning how to time a machine and I've learned what tools and products make the job much easier. So check out videos from the experts: Bob Fowler, Andy Tube, the Vintage Sewing Machine Garage and others - there are many - and learn the right way to do things. Those guys are WONDERFUL!

@@PibbleMom297 Thank you for all the tips to build up confidence. Yes, I have a lot to learn. But wow, You can now take a motor apart ! Thanks again!

@@vintagetall6152 Thank you, but please don't be too impressed, I have a great deal to learn before I can even consider myself an apprentice (for lack of a better word). It was watching those videos that gave me the know-how to disassemble and clean a motor. I've watched many of them over and over again. The people who make the videos are very generous with their time and expertise. I particularly like Bob Fowler's videos. His explanations are very clear and if you have a problem, he will respond. He's very gracious that way. And if you choose to watch some of his videos, you can help him too by subscribing. And by the way, I know you can do this if I can; I'm 71 years old.
