Hi Cechaflo. I know nothing about fixing my domestic sewing machine yet but was able to download the maintenance manual. It's great because it tells how to adjust the machine while you show how the parts move in unison. I really appreciated your video on how to fix the Feed Dogs which is my problem. You really have some great angles! I was able to see just how far above the needle plate the dog is supposed to move when in its highest position. You gave me a fighting chance while the manual only describes the feed dog height in mm. Thanks so much!
One of the best if not the very best videos I have watched. This is exactly how these videos should be done. Thank you for the close ups well lit and extremely well done illustration.
Great info and very good camera work just how it should be do, beginners wanting to understand basics and above ` but a must to know about on there machine. This will be appreciate what you have shown in this video and your others , Thank you
It puzzled me when you threaded that first upper thread guide. I checked the manual. It should go from right to left through the upper hole, left to right through the centre hole and right to left through the lower hole. Hope that helps. I will be working on one of these tomorrow and appreciate the preview that you have provided.
En el minuto dieciseis:17 de este otro video se muestra como hacer la regulación de puntada:th-cam.com/video/4ah-sIpRGnA/w-d-xo.html Primero se presiona el boton regulador con la mano izquierda mientras la mano derecha tiene que mover la rueda grande de adelante para atrás hasta que afloje el boton y se hunda. Cuando se hunde quiere decir que está listo para regular. Para adelante da mas puntada y para atrás menos. Aveces se pone muy duro la rueda grande, pero hay que insistir. Alguien puede ayudar a mover la rueda mientras Ud. presiona el botón. Si está demasiado duro, se le puede proteger con un trapo para que no se raspe la pintura y con una pinza de presion apretar y moverlo de atras para adelante hasta que afloje.
Absolutely fantastic...Have the exact Singer machine, and while I appreciate your expertise is upholstery, could you help me understand the oil pump operation? I'm not getting any oil in the window, and I would just like to see oil coming from the hole in that copper tube from a perfectly running 241-12! Again, thanks for your video's...you do amazing work... Absolutely, best regards....
did you figure the oil pump problem? I read in an online blog that the machine has to run at high speed atleast for a shirt time to get the oil flowing to all parts.
@@jnmarin6603 The oil can also flow/run at low speeds lubricating the pieces. The small 'turbine' below' creates a vacuum while sucking up the oil from the 'oil tray'. Of course, these machines are 'high speed' and lubrication will be optimal alleviating friction of the pieces.
@@Cechaflo Thank you. I just got a 241. Trying to learn. It looks like yours doesn't have the gasket? Am I seeing that right? On mine the cork is very dry and brittle. Was thinking I had to replace it. Maybe not? (it's > $40!)
@@paisley436 I do not remember if it had it. I do not have this machine anymore. I sold it. Regularly, these machines are used in clothing manufacturing and shoemaking. It was used in the past to do upholstery with some limitations though. I used to work with this kind of machines many years ago. Double and triple transport machines came to replace them. A roller foot is adapted to hadle it much better. I have a related video: th-cam.com/video/V_IYfp7zBfI/w-d-xo.html
One of the reasons the needles fall out is the little pressing bolt has its thread worn off or stripped. Check out the little bolt. If so, get a new one same size to replace it. On the contrary, the nut could be stripped. In this case you would have to buy in a hardware store a tap to make new thread. The new little bolt and corresponding tap would be a bit thicker.
Hi sir`why have you feed the thread in the first hole then deliberately mist the middle hole then you threaded the third hole when first threading the machine, Would this be to ease the tension on the thread from the spool or due to a nother reason
+wow dude the machine was threaded beforehand...at the beginning I took off the 'lateral fender' to have a better view and show how the eccentrical mechanisms work and how 'thread lifter' also works up and down pulling the upper thread...if I missed one hole I did not do it to ease tension, nor for another reason.
Cechaflo Ah okay,as a newbie to sewing machines I watch carefully and I am curious when some thing has been done different from what I seen from it being done befor, That answers my question thank`s again
+wow dude That's a good way of learning a new field...curiosity is mother of science and trial and error is the best master. thanks for watching these videos!
le agradezco sus videos, muy explicitos, adquiri una maquina 241-12 en muy buen estado y la he ajustado a la perfeccion, como se puede rematar la costura al iniciar y terminar?
+jaime alberto araiza Muy buena pregunta, considerando que este modelo no tiene la 'reversa'. lo que hay que hacer es iniciar una puntada (hacerlo manualmente, sin presionar el pedal que mueve al motor), luego levantar el 'pié de presión' ligeramente y jalar el material hácia adelante y 'volver a repasar la puntada inicial'...con este 'remate es suficiente.
the needle bar in my machine started moving right and left; which made the straight stitch not right, and it doesn't sew zigzag and all other stitches when I turn the dail wheel.. what's the problem?and how to fix it.. I bought it only a month ago..help please
Hi..thanks for your great tutorial video. May i know what size of needle and thread did you use to sew the upholstery? My Singer 248 model only allowed me to use maximum needle of size 90/18 with combination thread for sewing jeans. I always have top thread break.
+fairiehan For light materials I use a 120=19 and 140=22 for heavier materials. Maybe, you have to change the needle plate for one with a bigger 'little hole'.... or widen it with a drill bit...a 19 needle would do much better with a 92/138 thread...try out...adjust tensions up(on the disks) and down(on the bobbin). th-cam.com/video/rJENXLRhXQI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for following us on our channel!
hi cechaflo, i ask you before i have the same machine the stitch lenght i can not change it to different size nothing is broken or missing ,is there any way you can make a video on this issue how to fix or set the system right,,i try dog feet to adjust it, it did not work.it i thank you for that John
+asghar dastanai Hi John, I suppose you have checked from min. 16:17 to 18:20 th-cam.com/video/4ah-sIpRGnA/w-d-xo.html If it does not work, it means the pin of the button is not reaching or catching the groove of the mechanism below...check min. 19:01 to 19:38 same video.
To avoid confusion the better adjective word would have been 'lower'...sorry...I hope so. It means the upper mechanisms of a sewing machine are 'coordinated' to its lower mechanisms. Thanks for watching the videos!
Hey man my sewing machine has a bad stitches sometimes it worked properly then again go back to his defect i I already tried several step to repair but still it didn't work well.
@@reymartbaradillo9057 Trying to figure out what would happen. What is specifically the issue...skipped stitches? tension problem? Your machine is a Singer machine and these machines are very strong and rarely disadjust.
@@reymartbaradillo9057 It seems the machine is sewing but badly. 1. This issue would happen when the hook point is catching the upper thread loop late and for more you tighten the upper tension nut it will not have enough tension to pull the needle upwards. The lower tension gains and pulls the thread downwards causing the mess. 2. If the machine is correctly on time it would be that upper tension assembly is not working good and need to be replaced for a new one. Sometimes the nut is not tghtening the plates enough.
I suppose you are referring to min 15:00 of the video. The upper thread does a complete turn around and passes through the 'gap' between the 'little protuberance' and shuttle. If this 'gap' is too close it causes to jam thread between. The shuttle can be regulated (there are two/three bolts that keep it fastened to a central shaft. Loosen the bolts and move it backwards a little bit. It also depends on thread thickness. If you were sewing with a thin thread there was no problem to pass through the gap.

It should move if some force is applied! While one person is pressing the button on top you could be trying to move the big wheel back and forth until it is released. Sometimes, these big balance wheels get stuck. If necessary carefully use a pair of pressure pliers to move the big wheel. Do not forget to oil the axis of this wheel.
Buenas tardes cesar. Tengo una maquina industrial plana y no consigo regular perfectamente la tension, dado que cada vez que creo el patron para tapizar un volante, al unir ambas lineas de puntadas me sale por la parte de arriba el hilo inferior. (A simple vista esta la puntada perfecta, pero a la hora de tirar y unir ambas lineas me ocurre). Muchas gracias de antemano)
En todas las máquinas de costura recta hay dos tensiones que regulan el paso del hilo...una superior que es la mas conocida...y en la parte inferior esta se encuentra en el 'portabobina', sea para el que va fijo (caso de la máquina pfaff 1245) ó el que es quitable como el de la Singer del video. Para regular la tensión de el hilo de la parte inferior, hay una ´laminita acerada' con dos tornillitos en miniatura...uno en la parte de atrás que sujeta la 'laminita' contra el portabobina y el otro tornillito está un poquito adelante que es el 'regulador'. Hay que tener mucho cuidado de desenrroscar muy poquito, porque se pueden salir totalmente y perderse. Debe quedar ligeramente presionado, lo suficiente para que al jalar con la mano corra libremente, pero no debe quedar muy suelto. Regulando la 'tension inferior' puede luego regular la 'tensión superior' que es mas simple y basta con enrroscar la tuerca de ajuste lo necesario.
Cechaflo muchisimas gracias cesar. Una gran ayuda. Pdta: podria ver sus videos en Español? Cuando explica mediciones detalladas para tapizado de volante o cualquier otro trabajo, se hace dificil entenderlos. Gracias
min 17:47 (in the tray) It looks like water but it is not. It is oil which lubricates the internal parts of the sewing machine. It is pumped upwards by a small turbine below on the right when the machine is turned on.
I always pause the screen to read and absorb before carrying on. I found after a few videos the quiet becomes normal and helps me to focus? He said his english isn't good enough when I asked for speech too :)
Ya le mandé el video donde se muestra como hacerlo. Es parecido a la máquina que muestro 241-12 Este es elmanual: s3.amazonaws.com/a.teamworksales.com/SINGER+SERVICE+MANUALS/251.pdf
La polea de la máquina es la que da el movimiento hacia adelante o hacia atrás. El motor de la máquina se mueve en un sentido y transmite el movimiento en ese mismo sentido. Si la corriente está invertida da el movimiento en sentido contrario y los 'dientes de arrastre/peine van a moverse al revés. Sería asunto de invertir la polaridad del motor para solucionar el problema.
