It's time for an episode of sewing machine archaeology!
This cute little industrial overlocker from the 1940s is just waiting for some love.
A good customer of mine has recently purchased this industrial Singer overedger head and wants me to see if I can get it stitching. The original table and motor is long gone unfortunately but I think we can at least test it by hand to see if it forms stitches.
In part 1 here, I assess the machine head and give it a good look over, lubricate and check the blades.
Subjects covered are listed in the index listing below.
Keep an eye out for Part 2.
