2142 found it at my neighborhood dumpster

Just what I needed. Inherited 2 sewing machines and was clueless where to begin. Best tutorial I’ve seen. Thanks so much

Touch screen not working what we do

It just so happens that my Bernina model 930 does not have any screws at all on the metal plate where the light switch is. So how do I get it off? I need to see the presser foot lifter because it is not going up to raise the presser foot. It's is hanging up on something.

It could do with an led bright white light too lol

Thank you so much. Makes taking the case off much easier

Mandatory coffee cans in the background. I have some too.

Thank you very much for all that you do/show ❤ very very helpful 🫶

We are planning on rewiring a 158.480 Model 48 Zig Zag Kenmore my wife just got with 16 gauge wire and was wondering whether or not to convert to a three prong with ground or sticking with the factory two wire? Are there pros or cons to doing this considering the age of the motor/machine? Just trying to avoid a fire hazard since there was a slip from a service repair in '97 that noted that the original owner had smelt burning and saw smoke coming from the machine. Figured we'd go ahead and convert the incandescent bulb to an LED considering that the machine shows discoloration following along the wiring from the bulb to the switch for the light with significant discoloration around the light switch. Any suggestions regarding replacing the socket and wiring for the light since the switch feels hot to the touch when switched on? Cars are what I'm used to working on and this will be my first sewing machine rebuild, so I'd appreciate any advice, thanks.

What an Awesome. Amazing tutorial. Thank you soo much for your excellent explanation. I have a Singer 1425 that I bought in 1982. I can't find any service videos on it. I am trying to figure out: why when I remove the bottom cover oil it and run the machine sounds fine. . But when I put back the bottom cover it sounds hard. . ! What can it be? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! God Bless! Greetings from Bakersfield,California 😊

Hi I just bought a Kenmore ym-40-3 21940 sewing machine would you know how to tread this one? Also, it doesn't have a lot of levers and dials. Any information would be great!

Great demonstration. Very competent Jeff In Wales

11:18 NO! Not a Dremel! Just use a fine stone and stone it. Just takes a few swipes. A Dremel is overkill. Otherwise, great video!

Just watched your video, even though I see it was posted 3 years ago. I just got a 158.14301 in a case that I found on eBay. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge, I’m trying to learn as much as I can about my, new to me machine, so far I am happy with it. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. 👍🏼

When I step on the gas, it struggles. I am not sure what to type in for help. When hand turning, counterclockwise is ok, clockwise is a hard no. Your video is great!! You helped me get it apart without breaking it. What am I looking for?

I have a Kenmore machine, the needle break on a pin, now the needle not taking up the thread

mine sew just fine with two layers of cotton fabric. but thicker cotton it is no longer stiching right. if i run the thicker fabric through it skips stiches. it never done this.

Thank you very much . I've followed your instructions, cleaned and oiled the machine but still the hand wheel of my Singer 4423 is moving with much difficulty when it completes a circle, when the needle starts to rise again. What can be the reason? Any suggestions will be much appreciated .

Great closeups. I’m a newbie learner. Can you tell what is difference between the 301 and 301a.

I lubed my machine took it all apart but a little spacer fell out and i can not seem to figure where it goes ??

Thank you so much for making this video! I've been sewing a long time, but I definitely learned some things here! I'm in fact, going to share it on Facebook in a sewing group. I was hoping to see you unscrew the bolt, but I do think I understand that you were talking about the Allen wrench reaching in from the left side and unscrewing it. I'm very mechanical so I'm not terribly concerned, but I'd actually never explored that area. I have a lot of sewing machines because I'm trying to start an upcycling business to support a missionary daughter, and one or two of those machines has been having some skipped stitch issues. So I will visit the obvious things of changing the needle and checking the bobbin tension and the top tension and such... But I especially was interested in the timing. I do know that you can utterly destroy a machine by trying to fix the timing yourself, so I might not be so daring on that, but my teen son is also very mechanical, and he has more confidence and courage and trying the scary things! So I'll probably give it to him to check out after watching this video. You didn't mention if, or how, using cheap thread affects the machine. Do you feel that it really matters if a person uses Gutterman thread versus using unless expensive thread from Amazon?! Do you have a favorite thread type . Also, do you feel that it's much of an issue to use say an embroidery thread at the top but a standard thread in the bobbin ? You seem like such a sweetheart, your wife doesn't really get mad at you for being in your sewing room does she? I sure hope not. But I know the joy is in the challenges of married life! I don't mind if my husband's and my son room, so long as he's not complaining about my mess! But your wife seems to be very very orderly with her sewing room! In fact, I'd love to see a tour of it. Do you think she'd be up for letting us see how she organizes things? Have a great day. God bless you!

I have a 158 13400 kenmore. My problem is I can't get my turning wheel to loses up to back a bobbing I try to take off the knop it won't come off help please

I have a Kenmore 1937 that I just picked up that the zigzag function is not working and probably seized up, if you have some pointers to fix it, I would be greatly appreciative. Great video by the way.

What can I do to reset my sewing machine and where is the reset button. My machine won't pick up the bobbin thread to sew.

Awesome...a genius at Work!

Thank you for this video. I was sewing two 2mm chrome tanned leather together then tried to sew a zigzag stick in a pair of leggings and it would not catch the right side of the zig. I was using a euro shark pro kind like a base singer with more stitches. How do I fix the sewing needle timing?

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing your talent with God bless you always Greetings from Bakersfield California 😊

I just found a singer 306w and I had to take the foot pedal out of the wiring box and I forgot how to put it back. do you have a video showing where the foot pedal wire goes? I want to say it goes in the middle with the motor wire. Thanks

Please, 🙏Do you have service manual singer Overlock Heavy Duty 14HD854 sir?

Hi is the sewing machine high shank or low shank

This video was so helpful and I got my machine working again! I am now having a problem with the stitch selector. When I switch stitches, the spring doesn’t bounce all the way back, so I can’t get to a straight stitch. Do you have a video on how to fix that?

I simply do not know how to thank you. You are a true teacher, very detail oriented and concise , excellent lighting and closeup photos along with thorough explanation , thanks again

I am the original of a Bernina 930. I have a couple of problems. If I don't hold the thread when I start to stitch, it will always create a thread nest on the bottom of the fabric. The other problem is the thread will drop off of the thread take up lever and then does not sew any further because the thread has created a nest on the bottom of the fabric. The machine was serviced at the beginning of this year. The service tech suggested I was not using the correct thread, so I changed to a Superior brand 50 weight. But the problem persisted. Do you think there is an easy solution? I know it may be hard to diagnose if you don't see the problem happening, but maybe there is an easy solution.

What is the name of the lubricant that should not be used?

Juki TL2010Q. It was working great and I used vinyl for a bag for the first time. Now when I sew anything with any thickness it skips stitches.

I have a 158.17010 and another one that is a 158 series but don't know the model number.

excellent way to explain. thanks

haia very insightful. Thank you. Do you happen toe have any knowledge about Riccar machine? It works fine after servicing. Except that the turning wheel goes very stiff. it is a special system . When i put in use the threadwinder with a spool on it something inside is loosened. So the needlebar is not working and the turningwheel goes very smooth.... It still is a riddle i had it as a find in a thriftstore and took it to the maintenance man. (one of the few still around that has knowledge of most brands and immediately he found a problem. But he is a good technician but quite stubborn and says it is good. Strange because my other machine looks a bit like Singer (a Melson form the sixties) the turningwheel moves very easy...

i am an old man 84 trying to learn new tricks lol t fix my sails thnx

Wheres the huge mess?

Great video. I have this exact machine. I had it serviced about a year ago but recently the light above the needle stopped working. It flickered for a while when I moved it around but now does not work at all. Should I check the connection or can that light be replaced? Thanks for your help!

Great tips

It's really help a lot❤

Hi, a needle has fallen into the bobbin part of my brother LS14 machine. It's gone right under the bobbin area and is no longer visible. Do you have any quick tips on getting out please?

hELP PLEASE My Brother SE625 will not reverse when I hit the reverse button.
