    Excellent. I accidently turned the knob to far while cleaning for a neighbor and the knob and nut popped off. Your trick to get the nut out was great. Model 7021 Brazil. Thanks!

    Just FYI, I bought my 6217c new around 1975? It was made in Brazil also… looks exactly like this. And almost 50 years later it’s still going strong (even though it fell down a flight of stairs!) I need to adjust the tension so thanks so much for this instruction!!

It doesn't have a bobbin winder on the top. So glad I found this video ! :)

    Thanks for this informative video. Because of it I am pretty certain the tension release cup is my issue with my Singer 6105. Lift the release but tension doesn’t release. The tension assembly is working fine. You mentioned you changed a lot of them. I have been unable to find just the cup. Looks like I have to buy the entire tension assembly to get that one little part. Is that the case? Thanks!!!!!!

    This video was very helpful as I have the same sewing machine. I am unable to find anything anywhere on how to operate this sewing machine. I would really appreciate it if you could upload a few videos on how to operate this sewing machine, how to thread the bobbin, how to do all the patterns shown on the machine etc. The machine is old so I can't find the manual anywhere so I would really be grateful if you did this. Thank you again for this video. Hope you consider my request.

    Thanks Burly Sew! I have what looks to be the same machine but it's called a Sonata 6606. I can't figure out how to remove the top cover due to the adjustment knobs sticking out of the front. My machine is running slow and I just wanted to examine everything and make sure it was well lubricated. Any suggestions?

      Hi Susan I don't know whether you ever got the top cover off, but I have a similar machine (a 3105) and also had problems getting the top off with those levers in the way at the front. I realized that the bobbin winder thing that sticks up through a hole at the top was in the way too, so the way I did it, which may or may not be correct, but I've done it several times now with no damage, is this - when you have unscrewed the two screws at the top, lift the cover up and ease it gently up and over that bobbin thing and then you can also get it quite easily over the levers.

    Mr Burley - I have a National 625 sewing machine that has an oscillating hook type shuttle. The machine is about 20 years old and worked great until today. When sewing some thick fabric I have created a hook timing issue and can not find an adjusting screw to get the machine back to normal. Do you know anything about these machines? I would like to try to fix it myself.

    hi there! I have a similar machine, the 6212c, and the "feed regulator knob", which I thought was a reverse button, fell off when moving. This is the button in the middle of the stitch width dial on the right, which you adjust toward the end of the video. now when I put the button back on, it is loose and there is nothing to hold it back on. Do you have any information on what is behind this button? Did I lose a piece? thanks!

    Thanks for this informative video! I have a similar tensioner on my 1983 Canadian-made Singer 6136, but I never knew the tension was supposed to be released when the presser foot is in the "up" position until I heard you mention it! I've been hand pulling extra thread from the tensioner every time I end a seam to prevent it from pulling out of the needle (what a hassle)! You say the center tab on the "+ | -" ring controls this function, so I checked mine, but it looks intact. Is there something else I should check? Could either of the following be the cause?
    1) I somehow broke the tiny tab stop on the inside of the "+ | -" ring (this tab prevents it from rotating by catching on the beehive spring). I haven't bothered to replace it because it didn't seem important --or is it?
    2) The tension disks are corroded. Can I buff them clean or will that change their shape and affect their function?
    Thanks again!

    What is the type of Bobben that goes in the singer Merritt 4530? The thread breaks every eight stitches it breaks on the Bobben. So every threaded it 60 million times in nine months and only stitched 1 inch. So many videos but no one ever shows the type of Bob and actually goes in this specific machine and how deep it supposed to go or if it's supposed to be rounded or a flat bobbin. I've never had this issue with any singer so fro or Elna or Hysqvarna machine. OK so I was again spending the entire night looking at what type of Bobbin case I need for this machine and it did say Apollo and I redid the search a couple hundred times with 4530 Merritt and it still came up with Apollo which didn't make sense because I was looking for bobbin case that said Merritt 4530. Yeah I'm kind of bummed I have the skimpy plastic handle so it must be newer than the one that you're showing in this vid.
