1968 at USN Parachute Riggers School in Lakehurst NJ as an 18 year old recruit part of our schooling which included jumping from an airplane also had this machine for each student. You not only learned to sew, but the graduation test was you'd sew a perfect straight stitch, then entirely disassemble the machine, the reassemble and sew a perfect straight stitch

Thanks for that knowledge! So just like a gun you had to disassemble and re-assemble and show it worked! You're the 2nd USN Vietnam era guy I've talked to that sewed throughout the war.

@@derekdoeschannel Yes.... My senior year in high school I had bad grades, and the Tet Offensive happened. I knew I'd be drafted so joined the Navy for a guarantee of Parachute Riggers School. Today at 73 years old sewing is therapy 😀

I'm getting a 151k1 (like a baby 111w), and I reckon I probably will go crazy with the paint at some point, honestly... Great video!

I have a 153 that I absolutely always have to hold the thread for the first 2 stitches or it will bunch up the thread and make a mess.

Older machines are sometimes finicky, but at least you know the secret to get yours to work.

do you use only industrial machines? and all Singer?

@derekdoeschannel 6 ай бұрын

Mostly all industrials, but Singer, Union Special, Merrow and Bonis. And I still have my Singer 201-2 that started it all.

the only vintage machine I have is a 1917 Western Electric that I converted to a hand crank with a truckers knob lol I call her Weezy. I am in the market for an industrial though. I am making a lot of bags and wallets right now.@@derekdoeschannel

sorry I can't help on this, I'm an okay mechanic but not enough to guild someone. Maybe someone else can help on here?
