Thank you!!! The wheel on my 46 year old Kenmore machine seized in the middle of a project. Your video saved my machine.

Your focus, commitment, and perseverance are an inspiration. The narrative is constantly reassuring and infuses the viewer with the needed confidence essential to success. Good Job young lady.

Thank you for teaching us on this machine

You are a resourceful lady get in there and see what happens that is what your attitude looks like excellent work

I’ve had this Kenmore since it was brand new waaaaaaay back in the ‘70’s! It’s still going strong! Keeping it clean, and free of dust accumulation inside, has meant I’ve only needed it maintenance-serviced 6 times in all the years since. Great machine!

That was awesome. So many good pointers. I found myself following along with your tutorial. Especially was impressed with the loading up the gear cavity to the max. I had done mine already, but decided to remove the cover and jam some more in there.

Thanks! I need a copy of the 148 13110 manual. With your video I will be cleaning my machine.

I also have an old kenmore that I haven't used since 2006. When I put her away for a bit, she was clean, freshly oiled, well timed and running well. But, I learned that some oils tend to gum up and solidify. Thanks to you, i began to clean her up. She too was stuck and wouldn't move. Ive got her soaking in WD40. I'll mess with it more tomorrow ant take a brush to clean the joints and get rid of sticky gunk. Your vid was very helpful. Thankyou.

I figured it out? When I saw you move that switch above the stitch wheel thingy I did the same to mine and BOOM! We are in business, baby! I think I used the whole bottle of sewing machine oil, though. 🤣 You should have seen the GOB of grease in this thing, it filled the entire cabinet! Thank you so much for this video.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm about to try to resurrect my Mom's old machine, 148.15600, and it's quite similar. I exclusively use Triflow oil on my machines so that the Wd-40 isn't needed. I just found out Mom has faithfully used her same tin of 3'n'1 oil (the worst!) for the last 40+ years.. Thank you again!

Thanks so much, for the excellent tutorial, your energy is awesomely contagious. Great job!

I loved everything you did with that machine you do wonders with them. You really know how to clean them and work with them. I’m amazed, keep up the good work I enjoyed every second of it. God bless.

Thank you for this great video! I picked up this exact same machine today and it was frozen solid. So I just followed your vid and holy cow! the machine works like it is brand new! YaY! I will let it sit overnight & get some new grease in that gear box. I am sew happy. This seems like a great machine.

Excellent tutorial I oiled my machine, but I’m gonna do it again it’s a all metal Kenmore. Thanks.

Steel wool. Gasket. You're welcome. lol. And thank you for this, it's incredibly helpful.

Thanks for the vid. I have an 80's Viking 6690 and the wheel does not turn freely. The machine sews OK, but I have not lubricated all metal gears and shafts. After I do I'm sure it will rotate.

Huge help, thank you!

I rescued a 148.13110 that the Needle bar eccentric screws at the top and bottoms were accidentally moved - can you show how to adjust needle bar position and zig zag sweep?

This video is extremely helpful, it would be even more helpful if you could find a way to keep your hair, hands and whatever you might be holding at various times from blocking what you are working on.

Great job, thank you

Ok, I’ve oiled just about all the pieces I can reach on my Kenmore 158.14101. If I crank the wheel by hand everything moves now. Until I plug it in and press on the electric foot pedal. I can see the needle move up a little, then down, and then… nada. Any suggestions on what to check next?

Question ❓ Do you have any recommendations for training if someone wants to repair sewing machines? Thank you, I enjoyed your video. This model was the same as my 1st sewing machine.

I have a 148.13100 that will not do a zig zag stitch. The needle foot moves when pushed with no issues but it is not moving in that stitch setting. Any advice?

Gasket I think you were trying to think of from oil leaking out 😊

I have this machine and started sewing on it Today. It was straight stitching and then I changed it to zigzag and now I can’t remember how to turn it back to straight stitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated

What kind of synthetic grease did you use?

What kind of oil did you use? Thanks!

My clutch will not turn towards me to use the bobbin maker. It sews perfectly. How do it get it to turn towards me? I’m the only owner and it’s not put together wrong since I’ve never had to open it.

hello do you know where to buy belts for this machine, sears no longer carry them. thank you

Help. I have a 148 Kenmore and 158 Kenmore . Both sound great. But both are doing 2 stitches forward then 1 stitch backwards. Only tight stitches (straight and zigzag . Any idea how to correct this ?

You have to clean the old grease and it happened the same. When the threads get tangled inside

Ania. looks like you really know your business! But why not use a pin-point oiler rather than dipping?

Windex is bad use warm soap and water.

We are frustrated enough with our machine problems and I wish people that make videos would set up properly before with tripod and in an angle that we can see completely instead of looking at someone's arm, hair etc !

Your audio is hard for me to hear.

Frustrated that I can't hear what she is saying with that soft voice, I've turned the volume as high as it can go.. so soft.

Wear rubber gloves.

In state you live I tried to repair my machine but it can.
