Another excellent video. I appreciate that you take your time when speaking, and provide clear pictures that show exactly what you are speaking of. I have a beginner sewing student who is Spanish speaking, and your videos are still very helpful because I can provide interpretation for her, since I am an interpreter practitioner. One laugh that you gave me, in a previous video you said “the lightbulb went on, ” and I rewatched that portion of that video many times, because I thought you were referring to the lightbulb on the machine. LOL I have of course, interpreted this idiom for my student, and she too, had a good laugh. Again, great videos.

Had my mother’s old Singer machine from the 60s. It finally died in 2004 - I literally finished my last project on it by turning the hand wheel manually to get it done! It was hard letting it go but no one would touch it for repairs. After watching this series, I wish I’d kept it just to give it a go myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you for doing these videos. Not only are we learning on how to repair our machines but I see we are also seeing scriptures as well. God bless you!

I have watched all 5 of your videos and am in the infancy of starting to repair machines. I may do this for others in the near future. I loved your series and found a lot of great advice and think you ought to put you bloopers in ALL of your video sessions; they are fun to watch and help me to learn even more...
Thanks and keep up the great work. Looking forward to your new series.

I found a janome 805 old sewing machine and because of your lessons I was able to fix it.
The rubber wheel was touching belt and it would not wind bobbin, wouldn't stay ingaged.
The tension was off.
Needed oiling.
I followed your steps and now my $20.00 machine is running great.
Many Thanks, my success is your success!

Thanks so Much !! Great information ! I've been sewing for 50+ years and now my first time trying to unfreeze a vintage Kenmore 158-00130 that I recently bought. I'm determined to get it going And I'm much better equipped to tackle this after watching your 5-part course!! Wish me luck!

Your channel is awesome! Can’t thank you enough. Tremendous efforts to put together all these precious videos! Two thumbs up.

Thank you much for showing your videos. I dropped my Brother CS6000i sewing machine yesterday. When I turned on the sewing machine it gave a whirring sound but no power to sew. If I turned the wheel manually I noticed that I could still sew a straight line and a quilt stitch so sewed manually until I ran out of bobbin thread and couldn't wind bobbins. Thanks to your video, I was confident that I could take the cover off and remove about 9 screws and detach 2 computer plugs. Once opened, I could see what that the belt was not where it should be which was the problem. I was so ecstatic to repair my sewing machine which now works with power again. Thanks for saving me from further frustration but mostly the money that I would have had to pay someone to fix and the long wait I would have had to get it fixed.

Thank you so much! I'm like you, people give me machines because they know I sew and I'm fairly mechanically inclined. Our nearest sewing repair shop is an hour away, and my 10-year old Brother had never been serviced, was making some grinding noises, having massive loops on the wrong side of the fabric. I used a different video to figure out how to take it apart, cleaned and oiled everything, and discovered that the arm that holds the tension disc open when the presser foot is up was not closing when the presser foot came down. It had popped out of place. I have no idea how this happened, but got everything realigned and reassembled and I don't remember when it's sewn this good. Thanks for the great content! Now back to sewing!

[awaitingthetrumpetcall]

Thank you for the education...and the scriptures. I watched all five tutorials. I didn't take pictures but I did tape the screws to the holes I took them out of.
My "Huskystar E10" malfunctioned and with the help of your tutorials I was able to fix it.

Thank you so much for your videos! Thanks to you, a problem I had with my Singer Futura (that I had tried to repair for a week!) is now up and running!!! I am so glad I found your site!

[syedsayeedurrahmanzaini]

Quite informative video. Thanks for uploading.

[aprilturner]

Thank you for the videos, they gave me the courage to do some work on my sewing machine. It still isn't perfect but after a new part comes in I think it will be on track!

Another good source to get at least gears for older machines is, using a 3D Printer. I really mean it. You can find the STL files for nearly every type of gear out there, with ease. And if you want to, you can even design custom ones. And with cuurent Printers you can even create replacement belts, that are of higher quality then the original ones. - Never stay still, always learn new things.

Thank you very much for your videos, I learned a lot, I live in France, no French technician, will do tutorials to explain how people can clean and adjust the timing on the contrary they hope that people come to their place to clean and adjust their machines (without repairs), for the price of about 90 dollars for electronics and 65 dollars for mechanics. I'm going to train on my little machine, in case my other machine has a problem, I'll know what to do!
