I'm not as active as I used to be with sewing machine groups on Facebook, that's where I've gotten most of my manuals. I would recommend searching for vintage sewing machine groups, join them and then look for the manual. I would always make sure it would fit in a 5 x 7 photo album, which I bought on eBay, so that I can make my own manuals. If the manual didn't have enough pages I would assemble a couple of photo albums together by sewing them together and they turned out pretty well. Here's the photo albums that I purchased the only ones that really work well doing that. They were easy to pull apart and sew together at the spine.

I just pulled my mother's out. It's been probably close to ten years since it's been used. She told me it worked, but it was too heavy for her to move around, so she had bought herself a new one a few years back. Well, I plugged her in, she hums so prettily.

Hello! This is such an informative video! I just got this exact machine today. But I don’t know why the fabric doesn’t move while sewing unless I pull it while sewing what can I do?🙏
What moves the fabric are the feed dogs. And length of stitch. 1st check pressure foot, it must be firm without too tight for whatever fabric. 2nd check your stitch length. 3rd the feed dogs could be stuck they move in a circular fashion. If they are stuck they won't move fabric along. Try spraying WD40 under machine where those dogs are and run with pressure foot up no fabric on longest stitch to break loose. My go to is lighter fluid as it will remove all gunk. Problem is you have to follow with oil or can jam up it cleans so well. But for 1st timers use WD40 and then use lots of oil to clean it up. Because you don't want fabric to become oily. Never ever use anything with alcohol it will eat your paint. Hope this helps 🙏.
No it's a Janome New Home. With that being said it's a badged machine. Badge machines were all made in Japan, there were several manufacturers and they would build a machine to a specification that American stores would resell. This was a very popular machine so it would not surprise me if there were other names on the same machine. About the only brand that were built in Japan that you will not see a different name on were Brother, And Kenmore. They were such huge volume buyers that they would not allow those manufacturers to replicate their models for anyone else. Pretty much any other vintage machine that was sold in the United States other than Singer were made in Japan. The exception would be German and Swiss machines. When you turn over a Japanese badged machine, you will see a letter and number underneath. That was the manufacturers model number. There are so many Facebook groups dedicated to vintage sewing machines. That's your best source for information, manuals, parts, etc
th-cam.com/video/3csqOrZAVQ4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t9jtNy1bXcYu7J7p The sewing machine uses standard needles for household sewing machines. The size of the needle depends on your fabric and the thread you're using.
Hello! I just purchased this machine, and though the motor works and the belt spins, the needle won’t go up and down, do you have any idea why this is happening? Also do you happen to have a pdf of the manual? Thanks!
There is a clutch (chrome knob) in center of handwheel. Tighten turning it away from you, once tightened then try moving the handwheel towards you and see if needle moves. The clutch is so that you wouldn't have to remove your work to wind new bobbin. It stops sewing so that you can wind the bobbin. You definitely need a manual. I am out of state right now. Let me see if I can locate. If so either I can Email to you or find me on Facebook and I can send in messenger. Name is Dionne E. Holford Pray.

I have one that is the same yet has cams too. These machines are fabulous. You will have no trouble sewing on any household fabric. If you have the manual it tells you how to clean the bobbin area and dust out the machine best use with compressed air (outside of course) and where to oil it with sewing machine oil. If you ever run across the model with cams you will want to pick it up. This machine is one of my top 5 machines. I have about 50 machines.
@@jenniferd9038 fortunately they are really easy to find. There are several different sets, I got the set with the most cams and the case that matches the machine in two tone green.

I couldn't find any in the two tone tin, which is unusual. The second set I sent you not only is complete but cheap too.
O boy you're asking a lot! There's 2 ways to time the sewing machine. The 1st way the easiest way is to loosen the needle bar and time it that way. Trying to time a machine using the bobbin is much more difficult. There was 1 Bernina 125 that I had that I did time but I still felt before I sold that machine that I needed a professional to make sure that I had gotten it right. And he definitely made additional adjustments so that the machine hummed correctly. I would not recommend your timing the machine yourself! What you need to do is find a good sewing machine mechanic and I have found that Bernina stores usually have really good sewing machine mechanics that work on all types of machines not just Bernina's and that's my go to guy if I feel I want a second opinion so to speak. Good luck.
OK since I made that video couple years ago I thought I would watch it and see where I had mentioned it being in time I mention that twice firstly I mention that the machines timed well not that I timed it because I did not time that machine what I was talking about the 2nd time about timing was when you're using that sliding width lever. Depending on whether you want block then you do a quick move from one number to the next and that will keep it more of a block if you want more rounded like moon shapes or whatever then what you want to do is have a smooth movement from 1 number to another and then smooth movement back again instead of an immediate cut from say number 3 to number 5 and back and its timing how much time so during the videos counting in my head like 123 123 123 and you keep the length of the design the same so you need something to keep time so stitch will be the same design as you go along and it takes practice to do it in a way that you like because basically that's what cams do they move the width to create a design, hope that helps.
I have a My Excel 4123 New Home Janome and it has decided to not sew. Needle goes up and down and the feed dogs are moving up and down but fabric won't move forward. What is my problem?
The feed dogs are what makes the material move. So even though you see them move are the moving all the way which you should see them move almost circular. They move down then come up in forward position then move to the rear before dropping again. First I would spray some WD40 or better use lighter fluid and soak all mechanical parts under machine that are part of feed dogs. Then oil well and wipe clean. Next make sure pressure foot is touching the fabric. There could be a disl to loosen or tighten tension on pressure foot. Do you have the manual? It should say if there is a pressure adjustment for the pressure foot. Also does it move up and down smoothly? This has nothing to do with the needle. But do make sure you change it every 8 hours of sewing. Hope this helps. If I could see your machine it helps. If this doesn't work find me on Facebook and private message me, and we can go from there
@@aymanalimad8500 it's been a couple years since I sold this machine. The condition is very important. Also how you Market it. I think it sold for 175.00 plus shipping. I serviced it, and adjusted for perfect stitches.

Actually Janome isn't English!! It was a brand established and manufactured in Japan. The way I pronounced it in the video is how it's pronounced. New home is an American company that utilize Japanese manufacturing to make the product. But the name comes from an American company that bought these machines and branded them their own. We call them badged machines. There's many many stores such as Sears with their Kenmore brand now those are the absolute elite of the Japanese manufactured sewing machines at that time. When these machines are manufactured Japan was not necessarily viewed by Americans as quality today anything manufactured in Japan is considered high quality. All these machines of that vintage era that were manufactured in Japan, are absolutely amazing quality. Today we're kind of going through a similar situation with China. Except China products are definitely not up to scruff. It's like one of my favorite embroidery machines is the Husqvarna Viking and they're now made in China and there's been a lot of problems with them because of it they used to be of course from Sweden.😢
I don't know, if you do not know how to fix it, then you need to take it to a sewing machine repair facility. For these mechanical machines it is very reasonable usually 60-100 US Dollars to service and repair.
