Geez, just go pick up a 1970s era Kenmore 158 with all metal gears and a 1.2 amp motor for $50. Now THAT is "heavy duty."

wish you had also removed that handwheel cover next to belt and large gear

are you still working on machines and do you have a course to learn to fix them?

Hi! Thank you!

15:28 not like there should ve much torque going through there anyway.

This was so helpful in understanding the Pro 5 DC my in-law recently gave me! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.

I was so close to throwing the sewing machine in the trash. After completely following step by step and about 2 hours, a new needle it is like a miracle. Thank you SO much!!!!!

You can put a drop of vinegar on the metal you want to test. If it bubbles, it's a magnesium alloy.

I really like AvE style reviews

Thanks a lot. A real depth review.....nothing like someone that repair a machine to review it

I got an old pfaff 487 and i'm installing a servo motor from sewmaq. Where do i screw to groundig cable onto that is coming from my sewing machine ?

Excellent review. I have toyed with the idea of drilling holes in the top and bottom covers to make oiling access simple instead of tearing covers off.

You've just captured my rapt attention. I have a Husqvarna Viking sewing machine just like yours. A lot of bird nesting . My one issue right now is that in threading the upper part , is that I've been threading the Viking much as you do with the exception of after coming from the take-up lever I've been drawing the thread against that little curved wire then down to the needle . Only to get birdnesting . Very frustrating. To the sewing machine store I go . Figured I would have to ask for a cleaning. $ . I was helped by a very gracious woman who threaded my machine drawing the thread from spool to the first curved like thing , DOWN to the small guide , which I thought was used in needle threading the bobbin - up to the second hook thing , then down to the slot in the machine, up to the take up arm then down through BETWEEN the small curved wire and the machine case then slid the thread into a clip then to the needle. I see by your tutorial that the thread over the first guide then down to the small guide ( notch on the top and notch on the bottom ) then up to the second guide then down to the space for the take up arm was wrong. I'm assuming that the final small clip however was correct. I have the owners manual, and the technical illustration only shows half of that . Will follow for more tutorials on Husqvarna Viking machines. My machine seems to be older than yours , but identical. If you address the issues I've brought, it should be most helpful. Grateful that I found your post . Many thanks.

I have d frst prob u showed but sorry to say i did all kind of things still my sewing does shit like dis...i dnt know wht to do

I love my Singer Heavy Duty machine, but the tension seems to have gone...something's wrong and even on the highest number there's no tension. How do i repair it? Can i get another tension unit spmehow? I live in a country where these things are mostly not available.

Hello, please i urgently need video on feeddog timing on singer 4423 heavy duty type of sewing machine. Thanks

You should make a video of the type of needles to use with what material. You will get lots of hits and help a lot of people. 🎉

An advantage to the computerized machines that was not mentioned is that many are universal voltage. Something to be aware of.

Thanks for the video. What was the model number of this machine?

I know how to adjust the tension but the tension is WAY out.

My Heavy Duty Singer is making nests underneath but it's on the highest tension, no. 9. How do i adjust it?

Could you tell me why my Singer front load bobbin keeps unthreading my needle? Thank you

You are the ONLY one out here who actually solved my problem. THANK YOU SIR! I kept doing everything ... and the problem was that I completely missed the tension path for my thread!

if you have a 206/306 can u mod them to be walking foot machine ive looked at an old 31k 47 with a walking kick foot i rekan the parts or simliar part cud be fitted ???

Thank you, my machine is no longer at the end of its life. Great videos I even managed to do this myself.

No need to ever change pulleys or belts on a servo motor, just turning the speed dial on the servo motor does everything you need. Servo motors are only around $100 these days and you will wonder why you didn't switch sooner!!!

I just purchased the 4432. It was cheaper on JOANN and it was on singer. I haven’t unboxed yet, but I will be trying it out.

Thank you sooo f***ing much!!!!!!! I couldn't figure out how to take it apart! I have the Star wars version also 🙂

here we go again: proselytizing

acts 2:42-43 what the ? stop proselytizing

thank you for a very convenient program,watching,here inthe Phillippines.

Only after those two were kicked out of eden for handing over earth to Satan.

What model Singer heavy duty is this please ?

Did you know there is nothing in the manual for this machine about oiling it?

Another video advised to be careful with alcohol. It can ruin some of the parts.

Nice video! Thank you

Watched your video while taking the machine apart. The “taped” screw got taken out🤦‍♀️. What problems would that create?

Thank you. I will try to give this a go and see if I can fix it :)

where are the parts 2,3,4 and 5

I just subscribed

It's very rare thing when you search for something as broad as learning how to fix your own sewing machine on KZfaq and you find the exact thing you were looking for. Not only, but this is not a single video, it's a course: I couldn't have asked for better. I will pay you for this either via PayPal or Patreon. Thank you.

Why so violent

Thanks For you nice clarification

I’ve had my machine was cleaned last weekend. Would you. Know anything about Viking designer 1. My sensor on bobbin not letting me know when it’s near empty anymore.

Very revealing of how these current machines are here for a good time, not a long time.

Can u do a machine continue to sew in reverse with this same machine problem?

Hello, in your video (Husqvarna Viking Designer SE Flashing Light of Death Repair) you show repair putty in the minute 5.20 what you need. But on your link to the etsy sale I can't find these parts included. I ordered this putty but I'm not sure?

"When you have people over, and they can look at your machine.." 😄

I have a singer C7290Q. I can Not find anything much at all about this one. I wish I had purchased the Heavy duty one instead. I have been watching you and love your in-depth videos like this one on the singer Heavy duty one. I purchased my C7290Q new from singer but I truly don’t think that little tiny wire was even on my self needle threader. But never the less mine doesn’t work. I don’t know if I broke it or not but I would love if you would do some videos on this machine Thank you so much for you info giving to the world. I just seen the video on you retiring! Good luck and enjoy yourself and family cause life goes so fast here on this side of earth😅

When my timing was out of wack...you could not sew at all ...the needle kept hitting the metal..
