You are going to need a bobbin in this bag is all the accessories for this machine.
There's different feet in here and there's also plenty and plenty of bobbins now I don't think any of these bobbins it
may fit our other singer but most of them will fit only this machine so we'd like to keep this
bag near this machine okay so anyway the bobbin goes on here and the whole bobbin mechanism is
on this side okay to wind a bobbin it's right here in the manual on page 8 and it actually
gives you a diagram with the machine so that's what this is for and the thread comes from the
front so always look at where which direction your thread is coming from sometimes that helps
a lot and like on all machines there's this little circular knob and that always is for
bobbin winding so we're gonna thread that in there and right up to the bobbin and what I do is just
take a long piece and wind it around for a few times okay now you have to unlock the wheel so
this is loose okay old machines the new machines you don't need to do that and very loose and then
you press this down right into the bobbin and I want to hold the tie the the end until it gets
going there it goes so usually you just have to wait for the machine to it does its own thing
but if you find that it's guiding too much to one way you can also do it on your own then first
we're gonna put in our bobbin and when you're putting in a bobbin in any of the machines it's
over the top the thread is over the top and facing you then you drop it in and then you
pull it over to the niche the first niche it'll also show you in the manual and then eventually
the thread is going to come right through that knob there that niche I always call it niches
okay so I'm gonna thread and white and then we'll switch it to brown and it's very simple machine
watch out this this light gets really hot hook when you're going through attention on any of
the machines you need to hold your thread down because you need to get into that hook there and
you can't do it unless you give some pressure to the thread then you're going to pull up your
hook now sometimes this hook will have a look especially on the newer machines this one only
has a hole so you have to go through the hole okay then we go down to this hook this hook and
this machine I want to explain thoroughly that the when you're putting in the needle because a
lot of people have to change needles around here set the needle the flat side goes over on this
side which is opposite of all the other machines that's the way they used to do it and you put the
flat side this way shove it up as far as you can and then tighten as tight as you can with your
fingers you can also use a screwdriver there is a niche here to use a screwdriver if you need to
there's another hook right here at the underneath this screw which I didn't see before so because
this needle is the opposite of what the flat side is this way you have to thread from right to left
rather than left to right which most machines are left to right or the needle is forward and then
you just go straight through which is much easier so as the years went by from 1939 they made it a
lot better so now now a lot of people think I should put the thread in my mouth first of all
it's unsanitary especially when you're working with machines that other people are working on
if it's yours at home fine do what you want but all you have to do is cut a nice sharp cut and
in the wedding of the thread actually swells it especially if it's got cotton in it it'll swell
and it makes it harder to thread so now we're in our needle okay and we put it behind the foot and
now we're tightened over here after that Bob and make sure you're tightened and then we're going
to wheel and bring up our loop and now we are threaded so this machine has something a little
different this flat side so the needle when you are it even says the direction on number nine to
go that way so let's make sure we did everything we're supposed to do number one is up here number
two is going through the tension make sure you put some tension on it and then it'll hook onto this
hook okay which is three and four five is this one no hook you have to go through the hole and then
down here is number six number seven number eight and nine is through the needle now do you have to
go through that every time if you're a good sour you cut it up here because we have a brown Bob
and we want to change to brown okay the thread should come from the back and your knit should
be at them it doesn't matter when it's standing up if this was lying down that little niche from
the manufacturer should be facing the machine so it doesn't get caught okay but your thread should
always come from the back okay so now we're going to tie a square knot if you were ever a girl-scout
it is old which is white over new which is brown so white over brown and then brown which is new
over old it's the opposites it makes a square knot it's actually a circle but it's a square
knot and it makes it really tight not if you just did a regular knot it wouldn't work and
then all you have to do is pull and it should go through everything and the needle sometimes it
doesn't and you have to give it a little tug and if it doesn't and it breaks then you thread your
needle but it went right through okay so let's see if this sews we do just on paul and milford just
fixed it for us and it should so wonderfully now this machine also doesn't have your lines
to measure your 5/8 seam or your half-inch seam so it's always good to have a ruler and
a six-inch wand will fit nicely in the machine because from the center of the needle over we
could also put tape here or lines but we'll do that in the future for sores okay so let's see
if it sews another hint when you're sewing is never put the fabric right at the edge of the
hole where the needles going in because you can actually dig the fabric down into the machine
you want to make sure that hole is covered then you start and over here is our stitch
lengths and it's very hard to see because it's all black and somebody painted it really nice
okay but there's all your stitch lengths and we're gonna go up a little bit it was on a
basting stitch where it's all the way down the bottom the more you go up the tighter it gets
okay and this knob here also makes it where you can keep it stationary okay but right now we're
just gonna go in between stitches and it's sewing very nicely so that's a small stitch
so let's go to a basting stitch now I'll show you this is the longest stitch then it makes them you
might want to use that for leather no it this is an older heavier machine and a lot of people
that make Haven like to use these for leather you want to use like a heavy needle especially
when you're using heavy thread this is normal thread and I have a normal needle in there but
if you are using heavy thread you need a heavy needle which is a fourteen sixteen or eighteen
depending on the leather you're selling but look at it so beautiful thank you Paul and
Milford East's doing all our sewing machines okay and any questions just um have an animator and
you're going to have a quiz after you saw this video so that you will be badge for this machine
