  1. Look how beautiful the pictures in the manual are!

  2. Look what i got today! #singer #sewingMachine
    It was my ex mother-in-law’s machine. She sew all the clothes for her children. She kept it so well. I have to learn how to thread it but ex said he found the manual online

  3. For sale at Bolt Fabric Boutique tomorrow, we present this 1960s Italian beauty that sews like new and leaves modern machines in the dust.

  4. Hmm, this is a pretty looking machine someone apparently has on sale (Ventura, California).

  5. Today we learned that one of the big #SewingMachine shops in town not only is declining to work on vintage machines (nbd; it's their prerogative), but also is then encouraging people to give them the machines to take to the scrap metal recycler.

    ‼️

    It makes us so angry thinking about all those well-intentioned owners being duped into scrapping their machines instead encouraged to find another shop to fix them. 😡

  6. Tomorrow's Open Drop-off Day at Sewcial Studies!

    Come on down to lovely Milwaukie from noon-2PM to bring your sewing machine in for the spa day (or repair!) that it deserves, no appointment needed!

    Lotsa parking, near Trimet, and in the super cute downtown of the home of the Bing cherry.

  7. (Singer Touch & Sew, circa 1966, it seems). Zigzag, still in the metal gear era. #sewingmachine

  8. 1966 is calling... pink, lol. Not a bad deal at $35.00, but I think needs oiling. Only 18.00 if you catch this thrift store's 50% discount day on "pink" or "white" items. #sewingmachine #vintage

  9. Checked alignment and timing, all okay.

    Double checked the needle.. backwards, oof. Working now. I think, more caffeine/sleep, less sewing required here.

    Anyway, alignment and timing for a Singer 201 here:

  10. I bought a buttonhole attachment for my Singer 201K, a machine old enough that it doesn't have a zig-zag stitch function. This attachment (the black one) is a little mechanical marvel and moves the fabric instead of the needle to zig-zag stitch.

    Included with it were a ruffler and a tucker foot, a little unexpected bonus and more little mechanical marvels.

  12. Just like people doctors, sometimes machine doctors need to refer out to specialists.

    Today we did that for the first time. This stunning brick red Husqvarna Viking 6460 needs a total disassembly that others are better qualified (and have more time) to do.

    After that work, this machine is such high quality it'll be functional and productive far longer than any of us.

    #Sewing #SewingMachine

  13. Hmm, that's a bargain. Likely just needs oiling, and maybe a new cord. So many around here. Like bicycles. Not enough of us out there who can fix things and make things, it seems, and who have the space for machines. #sewingmachine

  14. Want to avoid the personal shame of your machine looking like this inside?

    (yes, yes you do, and your machine wants you to as well)

    Come to our next class at Bolt Fabrics!

  18. Habe sie gereinigt und gewartet. Sie ist sehr hübsch und scheint nie benutzt worden zu sein. Nach meinen Nähversuchen weiß ich auch warum nicht. 😬 Ich habe sie Marfuschka - Seelchen! getauft. Sie hat viel, sehr viel Charakter - aber ich bin störrisch. 😅

  24. “Hunched over a #SewingMachine, Kil Bae is #hemming a dress inside his Manhattan tailor shop when a new #customer
    stops by with a vintage Tommy Hilfiger jacket he wants taken in.

    The modeling agent paid $20 at a thrift store for his reversible bomber style that’s plaid on one side and red on the other. He’s willing to spend $280 to have it slimmed down. #Alteration requests with such a price disparity would have seemed odd a few years ago, the #tailor says, but are helping to keep the #bobbins bobbing at his one-man shop, 85 Custom Tailor.“

  29. Contrary to this instruction in an old Pfaff service manual, we will not be dousing any machine in any amount of kerosene.

  31. Hmm, is 120 years a "reasonable time" to request a warranty repair? #sewingmachine #warranty

    But I bet you'll find the pulley lines up fine with the treadle wheel, and the base will either fit or nearly fit the treadle base. Those series universal motors are crap, anyway.

  33. @ai6yr
    Our workhorse sewing machine is an institutional Singer from the 1960s retrofitted into a random treadle base. The rationale is that the treadle gives better low speed/torque control.
    The retrofit was surprisingly easy-- evidently the cast iron base plates were nearly standardized.

All details here: ko-fi.com/post/Another-sewing- (free post)
