How to Thread the Singer 6215C Sewing Machine and Troubleshooting Tips

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I recently picked up the Singer 6215C for a whole dollar at auction. This machine is from the early 1980s, but it's still sewing like a champ. In this video I'll show you how to wind the bobbin and thread the machine, plus I've added some troubleshooting tips for what to do when you have skipped stitches while zigzagging. This is another #craftcoreDIY Sewing Machine Showcase! Part 2 is filmed and coming soon, and will feature how to fix the timing on this machine, so be sure to subscribe if you want to see that video!

The foot pedal was included ( a near miracle ), but of course, no accessory box, just the general purpose zigzag foot screwed on. I do need to change the bobbin (thank you!) and adjust the tension. I love that the overcast stitch is included in the machine. I just subscribed. Your presentation in this video is very professional!!

On the 4:49th second of the video, the button right next to the stitch selection panel showing two different kinds of zigzags (at the very right of the screen), is that used for buttonhole stitch balance? Or what? Any video I watched till now , unfortunately skipped that information everytime. Thanks in advance.

    You are a lifesaver! I bought this sewing machine from a kijiji seller with no manual, but a video is much easier to follow than a diagram. I only got one bobbin with the machine, so I followed your link to purchase more. There are two types that look very similar, one is part number 312956 and the other is the same number with -S after it. Can you tell me which one is for this machine? Thank you so much!

    Hey i have this Samba 5, and the size of the stitches feels much to short. The fifth size is small, and * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 * 0 are useless to use. I rather need larger stitches for certain types of sewing like heavy fabrics. ..do you know why it is like this, and if it is possible to adjust the setting somehow? Do you have the same problem?

    Yes! You'll need the Husqvarna ones that are compatible with this series of sewing machine. I like the Sewingpartsonline because you can search your model and the accessories are guaranteed to fit. www.sewingpartsonline.com/viking-1070-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?sort.ss_cat_sort=desc&index=88. Unfortunately it looks like both the clear and metal bobbins are out of stock right now. ☹️ I bought my bobbins for this machines from my local quilt shop, Ultimate Sewing Centre in Oshawa. I brought my machine in and they were amazing to find me the perfect match! Of course that was before Covid. ☹️ Good luck!
