Antique Toy Sewing Machine Restoration

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I found this toy sewing machine which is also used as a salesman's model on ebay. It looked pretty rough, but I could tell it would look good after a proper restoration. It jammed up pretty easily when it was covered in rust, but it almost kind of worked a little.
The original paint on this toy sewing machine was beautiful. I really wish I could have kept it, but there was no way it could have been saved.

    By popular demand I am currently looking into a way to restore the original artwork to the best of my ability. I'm also looking into replacing or custom fabricating the missing tensioner spring and bobbin nut. STAY TUNED/SUBSCRIBE FOR PART 2! I will get it all finished as soon as I possibly can

    I watch Marty's matchbox restorations and he creates decals on a computer. This might be the way you can put on the artwork that was lost. Love this little sewing machine:)

    YAY! So pleased you are looking into doing the design. It is absolutely stunning. You will need a very fine paint brush, if you can't get one fine enough, take a razor blade and give a small brush a hair cut! Also, I suggest that you trace off the design onto paper first and have a practice paint. OR, if you know a child who loves to colour in, and stays inside the lines, get them to paint a tracing on paper for you. You may find a budding artist to help you! God bless, and good luck.

    Restoration Station. I notice that you have several queries about how a sewing machine can work with only one thread. You may like to direct them to "How it works chain stitch sewing machines." They have an animated illustration that's excellent. I'm sure you also realise you need a small G clamp to secure the machine to the table too. One last word from me. All chain link machines have one oddity. The last stitch you sew is left with an unsecured loop. Any tension put on the thread as you remove it from under the foot, and you will watch all of your sewing unravel before your eyes !!! Solution: Hold onto the stitches as you remove sewing from the machine. Take a sewing needle and pass the thread through the material, catch the unsecured stitch and then knot it to the material. Do the same at the start. I know that you have inspired a number of people to try restoring old, unwanted things themselves. Ever thought of starting a Q&A session to help others? All the best.

    I agree, it would have been easy to trace off the pattern before sand blasting it. Replacing it would have been as easy as colouring in a picture book. You don't need to be an artist, you just need a steady hand. It might be possible to make a template from footage he filmed though.

    If you plan to paint the design onto the machine, you should find that the front and back are mirror images of each other, so where parts of the pattern are missing on one side, you may find them on the other side. The base plate also appeared to have a design on it, but I couldn't see to much of it. you may need to take elements of the side panel design to create a new one. Hope this helps.

    Restoration Station: We have found photos of pristine art work for this machine on line. The picture can be printed, and the design traced onto the machine. Then all you need is a steady hand and some acrylic craft paint, and the machine will look like new. We have posted the web site name under Deena's comment. Also note that the cotton tensioner is missing on your machine. It is a spring and a nut, and allows you to tighten the thread so that that it will make a proper chain stitch. As you did not show us the piece of sewing completed, my guess would be that the stitches were not properly looped. Hope you do the painting, let us see pictures if you do. Keep up the good work, can't wait for your next project.
