I am completely new to sewing and was just able to buy a lovely 15-91. It smells horrible and is very stiff so I have decided as a 70 yr. old woman to do everything you do here. I love your style of teaching, your sense of humor, and your little chuckle which always makes me laugh. I have already watched many videos several times and will watch them over and over to make sure I get it right. Thank you so much!
Thank you for saving the machine and I know you can do it. No worries. One part at a time easy does it and you're going to find it very rewarding and when you're done that machine will probably sew like a dream. Good luck!
I have been gaining confidence watching your videos, and finally took apart my 1931 Singer 66. It was frozen up and covered with a thick layer of dried oil and dirt. SM oil wouldn't cut the dirt so used orig gojo. Machine clean now, and I am working on polishing all the fiddly bits. Thanks Andy for these great videos.
Thanks for taking care of the beauty. Are you using the 99K playlist I made? th-cam.com/play/PLsCOZgzzaiKIIUgkEujqHc9iNWN9NPW2Z.html I'm glad you became comfortable with working on it and I bet you enjoy it as much as I do. Take care, Gale.
@@andytubesewing1953 So many of the Singer models are similar in the basics, but vary in the bobbin and hook set-ups. I have limited tools and space, so did not tear it down completely, just the needle and presser bars out, the presser bar lifter, the hand wheel and bobbin winder, and the tension disks. Also, the underneath works but not the hook and feed dog mechanism. Took it down far enough that will probably have to reset hook timing. Watching your methodical videos helped me learn the basic parts and their function. I am comfortable with carpentry, plumbing, and basic auto mechanics, but tearing into these old sewing machines was a bit intimidating. Thanks for the excellent lessons you provide in your vlog.
Thanks Andy! I love how easy these machines are to maintain. I really appreciate this series on the 15-91 and hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for another great video, Andy. You are the BEST teacher and I have learned and continue to learn so much from you. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas full of joy.
One of my better efforts. I appreciate your comment. All 17 of my Model 15-91 videos are in this Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLsCOZgzzaiKJftyGwzdDiWa9R6HFEACJo.html Happy sewing.
Thank you, sir, for your patience and expertise in explaining. I got to the end and forgot how the spring went back on and thankful to save myself some aggravation by finding this video. Great tutorial!
Thanks, Joseph. I'm glad the video was a helpful resource for you. Very nice of you to take the time to comment. Thanks for keeping yur machine in service. Take care.
@@josephfinlay2996 That potted motor is a work of art, IMO. Yes, I enjoyed all the machines I restored and repaired. Some of them I documented in the 600 videos of my Playlist page th-cam.com/channels/USPDsHaFtRoz1VA2U1xJ4w.htmlplaylists Hope you keep saving the machines, Joseph.
Thanks so much for showing how to remove the slide plate, too. I couldn’t figure out on my own how to remove it. I really did not want to remove the bat-wing spring. I had to train myself not to grab the machine at the slide plate, else I’d accidentally rip it off. Now, with your method (so easy), its off, ready to be washed and put away until the rest of the machine is finished restoring.
You're welcome, Carole. I showed about that b/c we have a tendency to lift the machine from that area and can easily bend that batwing spring. I've done it a couple of times on the 237 so I was watchful with this 15-91 model. If ever needed the spring can be replaced but the screws are very small and tight so we have to go slowly. Thanks for watching my Ike Series and see you next video for the feed dog system. Take care.
Thank you. I pull out my 15-90 and it’s similar to clean bobbin yet a bit more intense! That first plate is in the back of assembly and two Drew’s in the front of assembly which I still can’t break. But I’m going for it!. This treadle I bought $100 in 1989 down the street where a 90 yo was going to a home. Just now getting to it. Will have to learn treadling 😂
Hi there, we’ll explained video, can you tell me for a singer 281, are there 2 different size of bobbins and a shuttle hook? Can you put in 2 different sizes… one being deeper than the other? I just got a singer 281-1, and it has bobbins that are deeper and also has a deeper bobbin case that has an arm and a shuttle that goes with it… am I able to put this deeper one in the machine? Or does it only use the one size?
I'll start by saying model 281-1 is an Industrial Sewing Machine Model made by SInger in 1964. I only work on domestic models. I did find documents online for parts & service and they show only one type of bobbin, bobbin case, and hook/shuttle. For example here is the bobbin: www.sewingpartsonline.com/bobbin-brother-consew-juki-mitsubishi-singer-272152.aspx You can download a free copy of that parts manual here: www.supsew.com/download/Singer/Singer%20281-1.pdf You can download a free copy of the Service Manual here: www.supsew.com/download/Singer/Singer%20281-1,%20281-3,%20281-21%20Service%20Manual.pdf Hope that gets you farther along the road to an answer. That's all I have for you. Good Luck.
Hey Andy, I picked one of these up, and I'm guessing the timing is off. It operates very smooth, but when I insert the bobbin case, it appears that the needle is hitting it somewhere and the machine almost seems to trap the needle not allowing it to move forward or back until I can fanagle the case back out. Have you any suggestions? Edit: Upon closer inspection, I can clearly see that the tension adjustment area on the bobbin case is getting stopped right at the ramp under the hook. Nothing looks bent especially as the hook(carrier) is as solid as a tank. Maybe the spindle is slightly bent? Did I just get a bad replacement bobbin case? It says singer on it, and it was listed for the model 15.
While most Singer machines have set screws on gearshafts or pulleys to allow resetting the hook/needle timing this model is different with steel pins set into the shafts at the factory. Here is what the original Adjusters Manual states about timing: ""the Shuttle Timing, as set at the factory, is permanent unless the machine subsequently sustains damage sufficient to affect the position of the shuttle driver"". You can see the manual at this link: archive.org/details/singer-15-91-adjusters-manual-en What I have often found in this situation is the height of the needle bar is off, so that is something you might check. Here is my Playlist of videos for this model: th-cam.com/play/PLsCOZgzzaiKJftyGwzdDiWa9R6HFEACJo.html One of the videos is about the needle bar and associated parts: th-cam.com/video/9d_0GkZaPdc/w-d-xo.html I have no way of knowing if you have a bent spindle or a bad bobbin case. Maybe something is not seated right; IDK. My first approach would be to check/set the height of the needle bar. It's a wonderful model and I wish you luck.
Thank you for this! I am the new owner of my 103 yr old aunt’s 15-90. It’s dry and dusty, but it’s still a beaut! I followed your lead and disassemble then cleaned with oil all the bobbin shuttle parts and reassembled it with no problem. I do notice the bobbin case does not sit flush, the little arm sticks out a tiny bit. When I moved the wheel, the bobbin case flopped around and eventually the needle stuck. Do you have any thoughts on that? It seems to be the right bobbin case, I compared it to the picture of the recommended bobbin case on Singer online parts site.
@@cathieproffitt6432 As a matter of fact.... I finally found someone who could help. There are two different bobbin cases for these. They look almost identical, except for the hook. There's a left and a right hand hook. Mine was the wrong one, and I think that's why someone gave up and pitched the machine.
I buy most of my parts, new and used, from sellers on eBay. I've been told other online marketplaces carry more parts now, like Facebook and ETSY but I have not used them. There is also the largest seller of parts in the US and they are reputable but a little pricey, IMO.

So Andy, why so many different bobbin systems through the years? I learned on a black machine like that when in third grade to sew gym bags and the bobbin on that one was long and cylindrical. All the different spool type bobbins that fit one machine and not the other. Some easy to get out others not. On my 503 it's a drop in bobbin, easy to get at but bobbins labeled as ones that fit, don't. Reciprocating, spinning, horizontal, vertical. Any ideas. It seems to me that they all worked pretty well. Thanks for posting.
That first 'Bobbin" you used was called a Vibrating Shuttle. The bobbins changed as the machine changed. Singer called the machines by "Classes", and within a Class could be more than one model, Like your model 503A is a Class 500 named for the model 500A. First there was the Class 15 machines and the bobbin they made for them were class 15 bobbins. Next came the Class 66 machine and the Class 66 bobbin. It was so popular that they used the Class 66 for many, many models. Later the model 301A was invented but it used a hook/bobbin from the Featherweight 221 model. When the Touch and Sew models started coming out they had a more specialized plastic bobbin system for winding in place instead of needing a separate bobbin winder. I've been told many modern Singer models have gone back to the Class 15 bobbins. About your model 503A Bobbins. SInger designed that model to use a Class 66 Front Drop In Bobbin made of Plastic and it is part #172336. That is what it was sold with. You get better results, IMO, if you use Genuine SInger Bobbins and not the aftermarket clones. I buy mine here, but there are other sellers I'm sure: www.ebay.com/p/664504770
@@andytubesewing1953 I've purchased class 66 bobbins right off the Singer card that didn't work on my 503. They were plastic. I bought a bunch from a website you gave me, (I bought 2 dozen) they were metal and work perfectly. The class 66 thing is a puzzler. I've got 12 or so bobbins filled with different colored and types of thread from various projects. As the winter cools down my sewing is warming up as the motorcycle restorations stop because it takes so long for the garage to heat up. The tools stick to my bare fingers. So thanks Andy for taking me and the others through the art and craft of sewing machine restoration. May your holiday season be merry and bright.
@@ralphwatten2426 You're not alone in your bobbin problems on a Rocketeer Model. I've never had problems with Singer Branded Plastic Bobbin but have heard your story before. I've never had a tool stick to my hand from the cold here in Phoenix, but a few have burned. Thanks for the holiday wishes, and for watching my channel.
@@andytubesewing1953 The problem I had with the Singer 66 bobbin was that the arm on the bobbin winder wouldn't fit into the bobbin itself. The walls of the bobbin were too close together so as not to let the arm into the bobbin. With the 66 metal bobbins I don't have that problem. Thanks Andy.
@@ralphwatten2426 Those are the symptoms of the after-market plastic bobbins we have bought in the past. If metal bobbins work for you then I'm happy you found a solution. Congrats and happy holidays.
There are not any screws. The machine leaves the factory with the shuttle driver and oscillating shaft crank pinned to the oscillating shaft. It's permanent unless one of those parts is damaged and needs replacement, which is an ordeal of labor. If the height of the needle is set properly the timing is good. You can download a free PDF copy of the original Adjusters Manual that explains all the replacement steps and other adjustments on the machine. Here is where I downloaded my copy: ia803205.us.archive.org/18/items/singer-15-91-adjusters-manual-en/Singer-15-91_Adjusters-Manual_EN.pdf BTW, asking the same question on two (or more) different videos causes me unnecissary work. Once is enough, please.
@Andy Tube I have to tell you that sooooooo many people in the Facebook sewing groups are happy to hear that you are well and getting back to sharing your knowledge 🙂
@@2ndlife4wanda well that's nice to hear. It's a 90 minute video that took about 4 days to shoot and another day to edit. I just worked on it when I felt up to it. I have to say it was fun but not sure how many I can do. It should go live Saturday
@@2ndlife4wanda Yes, it's long even for me, but not near my record 2:43 long video comparing the trifecta for the 401 class machine th-cam.com/video/Nee9PavxWhs/w-d-xo.html A good in-depth video but it did get away from me, haha.
@@andytubesewing1953 Noted with thanks. Btw, do you keep uniquely one each sewing machine from the country of origin? in terms of its brand names or designs? I am trying to seek Husqvarna Viking 19E from Sweden, Necchi Bu from italy, Berninia 117-K from Switzerland, and Pfaff 130 from Germany.
@@clementihammock7572 My wife is the Keeper of Machines. I'm just a self-taught hobbyist that would do repairs for friends and family. My wife owns some of the machines I restored on my Playlist Page, like Coco, the 301A, Cute, the 99K, Lala, the 221 Featherweight, and Regina, the 403A, and a 50 yo Brother Serger that she won't let me near, haha. The other models on my channel I either gave away or sold to raise funds to buy more machines and tools to play with. I've only done vintage Singer models and none of the ones you have mentioned, although I have seen most of them for sale on the local Craigslist over the years, or Goodwill auctions, except maybe the HV 19E. That one is not ringing any bells.
Thank you for transferring your knowledge and expertise to the younger generations. These machines have been around for many years and with proper care will outlive many more generations.

Hi I'm battling with setting the timing. Don't know where to loosen skrews.
There are not any screws. The machine leaves the factory with the shuttle driver and oscillating shaft crank pinned to the oscillating shaft.

A good in-depth video but it did get away from me, haha.
Hahaha! Have a good one Andy!
Thanks for watching, Jebb.
@@andytubesewing1953 My pleasure Andy! Have a wonderful time at your house! Peace!
That's 11 o'clock bobbin? Lasted only three 15k models?
Yes, the 11o/c "finger" bobbin case. Used on Singer models 15-75, 88, 89, 90, 91, 125, and 126, and models 191K11, 12, and 13.
Thanks for watching.
@@andytubesewing1953 Noted with thanks. Btw, do you keep uniquely one each sewing machine from the country of origin? in terms of its brand names or designs? I am trying to seek Husqvarna Viking 19E from Sweden, Necchi Bu from italy, Berninia 117-K from Switzerland, and Pfaff 130 from Germany.
@@clementihammock7572 My wife is the Keeper of Machines. I'm just a self-taught hobbyist that would do repairs for friends and family. My wife owns some of the machines I restored on my Playlist Page, like Coco, the 301A, Cute, the 99K, Lala, the 221 Featherweight, and Regina, the 403A, and a 50 yo Brother Serger that she won't let me near, haha. The other models on my channel I either gave away or sold to raise funds to buy more machines and tools to play with. I've only done vintage Singer models and none of the ones you have mentioned, although I have seen most of them for sale on the local Craigslist over the years, or Goodwill auctions, except maybe the HV 19E. That one is not ringing any bells.
Thank you for transferring your knowledge and expertise to the younger generations. These machines have been around for many years and with proper care will outlive many more generations.
