God bless you, sir! I've spent the last three days searching the internet for exactly what you just showed me in less than 5 minutes! Direct and to the point, just the way I like to be taught. Wish I could give you a big ol' kiss on the cheek!

Thank you good sir! I have a pfaff 50 with a tension problem, your video was of the utmost help. For anyone with a pfaff 50 the round pointed washer points toward the machine.

For the longest time, I thought that I had lost some parts of my upper tension assembly of my Singer machine, until I watched your video this morning - and you have the same exact parts as I do in my machine. Thank you so very much for your video.

I was given a Singer 66-18 Crinkle finish machine today. This video was a huge help in getting the tensioner adjusted. I want to restore it to its glory! According to the booklet, it’s a October 25, 1946 model. With 15,000 allotted for production.

Thank you so much for your video! I have a Singer 206k given to me by my husband’s grandmother. It took me two tries taking apart and putting that tension knob together again and adjusting it, but it works now! This machine has been a sentimental decoration for years while I used my Janome machines. I’ve taken an interest in learning quilt piecing at age 65, and I decided it would be more meaningful to use Grandmother’s machine for the quilt piecing and mine for the final quilting. I can’t begin to tell you how relieved I was on the second try with taking that tension knob apart and putting it together again! You’re a great help and teacher! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️🧵 .,

Today I spent 4 hrs trying to get the stitching tensioned on my Singer treadle,... It got just the same " thing" . I took it appart and fiddled with it, , and then put it together again, ... That little ring with the tooth on it was left over, reassembled the whole thing and it looked wonky,...still didnt work properly,... I walked away before destroying it completely... Thanks to your great tutorial, I will succeed tomorrow!....👏

My 306 W has a 3rd flat disc which appears to not belong to the tensioner. Am I correct in this assumption?

@rayelkins7872 5 жыл бұрын
there is a flat plate that sits between two typical tension discs. That is to make the machine capable of running double threads/needle. Two tensioners in one

I own a Singer 201K, when I sew straight, the tension is ok but when I am on the reverse, the upper tension is loose so the thread comes out like dots, what can go wrong?
@rayelkins7872

Honestly, I've no clue what the problem you describe could be since the direction the fabric is being fed is completely irrelevant when it comes to the tension assembly

What part? The 66 and 99 share the same tension assemblies but depends on which tension. There is the old style and the new style (with the numbered dial). I don't know what you're asking

@@rayelkins7872 it’s the old style. And it seems the spring is messed up..I got it it to sew, a few rows but then it breaks. This is my first time taking tension off and putting back on . I’m just learning. I’ve had this treadle over 10 years. Since the end of May I’ve got 2 221 featherweights, a 66 in a case & a 127 in a case.ive adjusted cleaned all of them and love it! I’m learning as I go and truly enjoy it! Thank you for your help!
