Very informative video. I've been sewing with knits for 2 years and didn't know about matching my interfacing to stretch correctly. Thank you.

Thank u, u saved me now

I’m so glad you mentioned doing this with linen fabric. I want to sew a few linen dresses.

You should also test that the neddle clears the foot on the widest setting for zig zag feet. Also, ive noticed that singer put one of their marks on everything, including feet

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 This is gold! Thanks to you I was able to properly hem my jeans today by getting the bulky side seams under the presser foot using this technique. ❤

Ma’am, you are a genius. Thank you kindly.

Bubbling up the thread is my problem right now when i being my project i cant seem to get pass this any advice would be appreciated

You saved my Kenmore 385!! Thank you!!

I have a Kenmore limited edition that has the top load bobbin with the clear plate. I have a Kenmore limited edition that has the top load bobbin with the clear plate. I had been having problems with jamming periodically which were sometimes solved by just cleaning and oiling, but your advice about holding tension in the thread as you get started solve that problem for me even though the machine already had that little tension hook. Thank you

All of these extra steps make me glad I always use woven fabric. I do have a couple of nice knit fabrics inherited from my mother that I would like to use so the knowledge will be useful for that. Thanks.

Thx for the tips! Love that you were able to show what was actually happening in the bobbin area! Very helpful instructions!💕

I have watched all 3 parts of this conversation about Cherokee Freedmen and found it quite fascinating. I research Oklahoma Freedmen in depth and was excited to see you mention the Hildebrands. I know someone who might be related to you as a descendant of the Hildegbrands and also Nancy Ward. I am going to share your video conversation with other Cherokee Freedmen.

The feed dog on my 758 has a rubber component. It needed to be replaced and I had to bring the feed dog to a dealer for a proper fitting of the rubber component. Luckily they had what I needed in stock. So that's another complication surrounding this machine which you didn't mention. Thanks for the video.

Thank you!! Very helpful!!

Great tips. Especially the damp press cloth. Thanks.

Excellent tips especially, for me, bringing along a bandana or other cloth. Using a damp washcloth was not one of my brightest ideas a while back.

Dead giveaway to know when someone is a new sewer when they call the machine cabinets as a table instead of a cabinet. To an old timer it’s pretty funny

The engineering point of view. It is how I think. Thank you!

You solved my problem with out showing my problem. Some how the tread got out of the take up lever. When you talked about it, I realized that I needed to check it.

Thank you very much for your expertise. From newbie

Instead of wasting thread and unscrewing the bobbin ....just snip the loops off of thread sticking out of the bobbin OR/AND sometimes just pull thread sticking out, then put bobbin back in and sew. Also if the edge of bobbin plastic is "splintered" a little use a very fine grit of the nail file for acrylic nails....the white or pink file to lightly buff the edge of bobbin...they are still selling the particular bobbins on line.

In the attachment box was a "finger guard" to attach to shank and with the slow speed option it was "safe" for a kid to chain stitch as she would on a toy chain stitch machine for a kid (or just regular or deco stitching)....the Singer slant needle walking foot sold for about 20$ and there were other Singer sets of deco, alphabetic design cams sold. Even though there is a button holer on the maachine you could still also buy a slant needle buttonhole attachment.

Only the top of the line Golden Touch n sew that you are showing has option of speed. The bottom cover of all these machines look warped...but they were manufactured at another location and the covers were made slightly too big and will not fit around the front bottom edge. where the "gap" is. The new machines were sold like that.

While I have completely restored a variety of cabinets, in contrast, my 301 cabinet looks just like yours. So, I coated it with WATER-BASED POLYURETHANE. The coating was easy, no odor, sealed in the paint, and leveled out the chips. I have a smooth surface with a worn, authentic look! Love the channel! ❤👏❤

Thanks for sharing. 😊 I too am an avid collector of sewing feet and have a similar drawer of antique wonders and mysteries. There is nothing like the thrill of the hunt for more!

Good overview. The all purpose, zipper and buttonhole feet are my most used ones. I need to get out the rolled hem feet I have and practice with them. Thanks.

My, what a helpful and informative video. I always learn something new. Thanks for making these teaching sessions. Love your light pen too. Any suggestion where I might find one?

Thanks, very useful advice.

I learned a lot. Now I want one of these. I already have 4 working Singer vintage machines, a serger and a 3 year old Pfaff. It gets addicting. Such a good video. Love your giggle.

Agreed! I’m a vintage sewist and I use a power strip on ALL of my machines that I switch off when done. To turn off, use the power switch INSTEAD of the light switch to provide a visual reminder. Importantly, the machine can continue to draw amount of electricity and tax the motor. Well done!

I heard that too!!

This is how I was taught too!

Not something that needs to be done often thankfully, but a useful technique to use. Thanks.

That is a brilliant tip thank you 😊

Say what?! Great tip!

Beautiful machine. You can’t get these for love nor money in the UK. Never seen one advertised in twenty years. Thanks for making your video 😊

Thank you. Very interesting. This is high end stuff! Never seen this done before 😮

Thank you. 🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have learned a lot. I have a Model 635 and I'm missing the manual any advice where can I locate a copy of it? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Bakersfield California 😊

Very good video

My clutch release is stuck. I am bringing it to the sewing repair because it is not budging! Thank you so much!

I just love the joy with which you discuss sewing and sewing tools!

Brilliant! Thank you so much!

One of my teachers related a story to us, about when she was sewing at a costume shop in NYC, the stitchers would get very upset if you pinned any way but points towards the needle, along the exact stitch line. They were paid by the piece, and would flick the pins out, using a screwdriver! Any variation slowed them down.

Thanks for such an informative video! This evening I was pinning a pair of knit pants and thought “There’s gotta be a better way.” I was right😂 Thanks for sharing your expertise; it’s much appreciated😊

GREAT TUTORIAL❣️❣️🪡🧵📍✂️YOU HAVE DEFINITELY DEMONSTRATED some of MY many MISTAKES and BAD HABITS!!DEFINITELY HAVE HELPED ME SEW MUCH BETTER❣️❣️Thanks bunches❣️❣️🤗💓💓👌🪡

Safety first! I recently bought a 1960s sewing pattern that still had pins in it from the previous user. They went straight into my ex-dental floss Home for Overused Pins.

I'm starting to sew and this is really helpful 🙂 Thanks for you video!

also the cons about going from the yellow to red zone is that the sewing needle can and will go through your fingers if you are not careful 😅

This was so helpful. I was doing all three things 😬 Thank you so much !
