    Thank you so much for the excellent video! I just picked up a Bell Sewing Machine yesterday at an estate sale for about $35. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I believe that I have all the pieces except the clamp and the original manual (though I did buy a download.). The black material on the bottom of the machine has disintegrated but other than that it seems to be in good shape. Thanks again for taking the time to provide such a great explanation of this cute little machine.

    What an amazing find!! The manual AND the attachments! Someone loved that sewing machine. Thank you for sharing this beauty.

    Thank you for this video! I’m looking around for one of these, and this video will be a great help if I can’t find a manual. The bobbin and bobbin filling looks so convenient, but I’d have never figured it out on my own.

    Thank you for this video I just won one from eBay and its going to need a little love. But I think I can get it. if not Ill take her in. Im very excited, I m hoping the Manuel will have maintenance instructions, I think at the very least she needs a very good cleaning and oiling .

    It is not an all metal machine. It has a large cylindrical plastic cam inside the raises and lowers the needle bar. These machines do require oiling.

    Thank you for your video -- it was very timely. I just bought one of these machines from a Facebook seller. It arrived today and sadly, it's not in as good a condition as yours -- and I paid $15 more than you did! It only came with an accessories guide, but no manual. I have learned a lot already from watching you demonstrate bobbin winding and threading. The lever on the back to raise and lower the foot is in the wrong position on mine, so I haven't gotten that part to work yet. And the wood sections in the case are missing, so there is no place for the metal tray to rest. I am sad. But if I can get it working, I will be a little happier.

      Complete running ones are often $200 - $250 now. I am looking for one I can take back and forth for babysitting.

    Certainly different but WHY would anybody have preferred this over a Singer Featherweight? Clearly the Bell wasn't much of a success. Excellent video -- you are VERY patient.

    I have one but I am missing the Critical bobbin case and bobbins. I never saw this working so thanks! It was cleaned several years ago but the old oil in there is gunked up. (I read online it was never supposed to need oil!) interesting there is a “lifetime guarantee” printed on the back of the manual but obviously that’s useless. Amy idea where I could find that bobbin case and bobbin? Thanks again for the demo !

      Tiny Bobbin uses Singer 29. But the bobbin case has to get another Bell sewing machine used for spare replacement. Check on eBay or FB marketplace group of vintage sewing machines. Thank you and good luck, have a good day.

    I just bought one of these and I am wondering about oiling it. There is no info in the manual concerning oiling.

    Wow, it's cute! I love how compact it is. Growing up we had two old sewing machines in our house. They both had a pedal connected to a large wheel with a leather strap. No electricity. They worked though. But they were SO big. I use a white plastic $99 Singer now 😂

      @@markofashion1790 It is fun isn't it! I had so much fun with it as a kid. I believe my mum still has two and my nan has one. They are all Singer and they fold up into a cabinet. They look beautiful closed, but don't have a lot of storage though. I just looked up the free machines and they are beautiful. Like works of art.

    Hi Marc, fantastic video, helped me a lot but do you have the instruction book of this little Bell published anywhere?
    Thanks from France Florence
