Hi, what needle specification does this machine use? I would like to order needles but don’t know the type?

I'm wondering what you did with the pocket that goes under the seat base that covers the rear cross bar? It looks like you just cut it off and didn't replace it. Is that correct, and why didn't you replace it?

Saw this car was driving up Regent Street yesterday - 21st August 23

Hi CMR, I am really glad to found your YT video because I am about to get the same machine you are showing here. Unfortunately I am not sure about the machine model cause even the "Singer" name was erased after so many years of machine working life. I am gessing that it is the same model by comparing the pictures I took against your video. In case it is the same model, I would like to ask you to help me to find a place in USA were I can get the TIMING BELT which is the only broken part before agree to buy it, otherwise the machine it will be just a piece of metal. Many thanks for your appreciated support. Note: Apparently the original Timing Belt has 62 teeth cleats (not sure about it). How I can send pictures to you?. Thanks again.

Hi sorry I wasn’t clear on my last message. What I wanted to ask what model number is the needles used in this machine? Can I use a size 18 needle in this machine? Thanks

Hi I just got an old 51W. What size bobbins does it use? What needles do you recommend for leather using 69 or 92 thread. Thanks

Maybe a better soundtrack in the next video? Like Elton John deepthroating a guy...

I’m having trouble figuring out how thread this machine properly! It seems I don’t have enough tension. Can u possibly help me with that? I have a singer 51-54 model

Brilliant work, you can tell that you are an expert with that sewing machine. It would take me all day to make that headrest on my cylinder arm machine and still wouldn't be as good!

Hi, I love your videos. I have the same machine 51w56. I was lucky when I stumbled on it at a shop in the fashion district in NYC. I am new at this, so my question to you is how do you change the belt on this machine?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very impressive!

Excellent video been after a posted for awhile now. Know of any for sale.🙂

Great videos do you know where you can get spares for your machine tia

Awesome. What a nice and thoughtful gift, lucky lady! I’m so glad I found your channel. If you don’t mind my asking, what kind of marking pens are you using? I am a hobby shoemaker (4years now) and the silver pens drive my crazy. The pens never flow and if I mark an area that will be seen (by accident) the silver always leaves a subtle mark and I can ruin the finish trying to remove. Thanks again from your cousin Al from across the pond!

Beautiful, ty. I was looking at a 51w25 for shoemaking. Can you adjust the stitch length?

I keep coming back to watch your vids as I'm amazed how skilled you are on that old sewing machine. Then I look at the background and see a wall piled high with leather hides. Do you use special automobile leather hides or "standard" leather hides

Hi … i have this machine as well … could you tell wat size needles i need to buy for this machine ? Many thanks 😊

You are a wizard

where the heck does one find a sewing machine like that? I use a REX (cheap Sailrite knockoff) and struggle continuously with it. This post type machine looks awesome but finding them new reveals only their unaffordability and searching for used has turned up nothing.

Great video I need one of these machines.

Woow high quality leather which country living for you?

Hi, my son hand stitches wallets and belts etc. I have a chance to pick one of these up for $200. I don't know anything about it except that it is operational. Do you think it's worth the price? Thank you for the video.

its called oil.

My customers are very picky they will do that when they come in with 300 400 and $500 boots summer $1500 that’s very sloppy I’m sorry

What the name of this plastic tool

very beautiful ! I want to paint mine that color. What is this color code ?

Thank you

Amazing work! Very impressive and precise!! How much would you charge for this job?

is it too loud where you can have a convosation in the car or is it a bit louder?

what size is the piping?

What you did in 9 minutes, I'd take hours on! Good on ya mate!!!

Good habits! Just won an auction on a Consew 228.

Hi! I have exactly these headrests on my E30! I have new material (fabric and sides) and am trying to find some contact details for you as it would be great if you could do this refurb as a service for me. Is that possible? (your site seemed to be not working). Give me a shout if possible and i can post the old and new materials, thanks

I have a question I have a singer 51w51 having a hard time threading the bobbin any way you can make a video or help?

I would like to see sewing a pleated welted insert in a car seat

I recognize that road

Absolutely beautiful job. I wish I can add this type of piping on my Rolls Royce seats without complete removal of the seat material but it is what it is lol

It's on a Cullinan now, parked up in Knights ridge near Harrods.

Hi sir thank you for the wonderful video...may i know what kind of material you used in the liner of the edge's of the headrest cover.

I would like to know how much would you charge me to do Camaro seats in a 1986 Camaro I have my own material and everything I have a denim cloth that I want put in on the seats how much would you charge me you did a wonderful job keep up the good work

Great videos. Did you service or clean the mechanism parts as usually they are very tired and barely working after 20 years+? What about the small gas struts, were they replaced?

Hi Again, I seem to have locked in my stitch length wheel when trying to take off the flywheel of my 51 56- the stitch length knob was working fine but now seems locked in with the flywheel.. is there something I need to do differently when I screw in the flywheel grub screw? That seems to be where the problem started. how you can help thanks! Ian

Hi, I have the same sewing machine , I need to get the timing belt , but I don't find it, do u have changed before the timing belt for a new one? Are those made up from rubber material like the new ones that are I'm the engine car ? If so what is the correspondent serial number , thanks

Love it

Lovely machine and thank you.. I have the same one- Can you advise what needle system does it take are these easy to get in the UK or elsewhere- I have an oversupply of M40 thread so needing probably a size 21/22 needle (I'm in aus)? Cheers.

That's interesting about the thread numbering. Here in the states the higher the number the thicker the thread. I use V-69 or V-92 usually for my walking foot machine.

Wow, you have amazing control of that machine! I'd have run off the side or crossed lines or something.

This is the machine that was in Silence of the Lambs that Buffalo Bill used.

I tried this 4 times and failed every time. You make it look so easy! I'm going to keep trying until I get it or run out of vinyl ;(

Can't believe how easy you make this look. You don't seem to use scrim foam on all the panels- is there a reason for this because watching other upholsterers seem to use it everywhere
