I have had and worn out quite a few ‘modern’ sewing machines and my present one is a high end Janome, it’s good at dressmaking but is fussy about thread but when it comes to thicker layers it isn’t interested. I have just bought a Singer 201 for a 1/10 of the price and it manages layers much better , I’m delighted with it.

The Janome ( I had loved them but ), will cost $250.00 yearly for cleaning and oiling, plus the integrated circuits will not last forever. Do we need all those stitches ?? The wider zig zag stitch is nice and very controlled speed is good, but… I sold mine on eBay..

The super wide zig-zag is the only reason I put up with the unreliable and limited life-span of the newer machines. If I had to chose, though, I'd keep my really good mechanical serger and stick with my vintage machines. Some of the zig-zag adapters for them offer almost the same width and far greater reliability. I work in a technical profession, so annual maintenance isn't a problem for me to carry out myself, just the new ones need it!@@1953childstar

Ive been a tailor for over 30yrs and only ever had one brand new machine I got in 1978 which ended up being useless plastic crap. I have 11 machines right now and the newest one being 1992, all the rest are between 1958 and 1967 with the exception of my singer serger from 1983. They are all heavy metal body machines, all with zig zag and built in decorative stitches or cams, and most with built-in buttonhole. Most of them could sew a bumper on a buick...lol They sew through anything without hesitation. I would never own one of these new 2023 pieces of plastic that sound like they will crap out at any moment. I have done all maintenance on my machines and even repaired them myself. I love my vintage machines. 👍

Vintage all the way. The smoothness and reliability, along with the beautiful straight stitch just can’t be beat.

Through 50 years of making my clothing, I use a zigzag stitch to finish seams on almost all garments. I have a serger, but only use it for knits. I have owned a Kenmore/janome for 30+ years, made around 1990. It looks like a "plastic fantastic", but has all metal gearing. These usually sell for $35 - $40 on craigslist - up to $150 on ebay ($275 during Covid-price they sold for brand new). They do stretch stitches and a variety of overcast stitches and have one basic built-in buttonhole. I would recommend a brand new $200ish plastic machine for anyone trying to teach themselves to sew - unless someone can give you a good, working used machine and teach you to care for it. But if you want to make Jean's or winter coats or reupholster your furniture occasionally, start your hunt for a good vintage straight stitcher ASAP, if for no other reason than to lessen the load on your machine with bells and whistles. Also remember: no amount of special features on any sewing machine will ever take the place of good sewing skills. Absolutely never.

While the heaviness of a vintage machine is a disadvantage if you want it to be portable it has its advantages too if you don't need portability. Heavier machines (especially if mounted in a treadle table with the heavy irons!) are steadier and don't go walking or skittering about when you're sewing something heavy (e.g. curtains or a winter coat). I see that at least one brand (Pfaff) has got a model now that deliberately has a heavier base. I totally agree about the straight-stitch being the most used too. I've got a fancy computerised machine but find it easier for most of the sewing I do to just grab the hand-crank (no fussing with setting up the foot pedal and finding somewhere close enough to plug the machine in - just sit and sew!). :-)

I take my 100 year old hand crank vibrating shuttle machine with me on my summer holiday, so I can stitch sitting in the sun outside without having to worry about access to electricity. Also, it runs smoother than the 1953 Singer 15k88 that I have on loan from my mother. For most sewing on wovens I do use my Singer 319k, but I can't get it to be truly friendly with stretchy fabrics and knits, so only for that reason I also have a new computerised machine and a serger. But if I ever have to buy another serger, it will be a pre-loved one.

My very first machine was a Brother XL-2600i. It was loud, not very user friendly, poor stitch quality, but I didn't know any better. Just by accident, I encountered a guy that was liquidating his inventory of vintage machines. Got an Ella 62C. WOW - all the difference in the world. I now have several machines - the newest was manufactured in 1976. Vintage is the way to go. You are correct - 99.9 percent of the time it's either straight or zig-zag. I can produce a stitch that looks like a row of little ducks with my Elsa. That is the only decorative stitch I have ever used.

As someone who sews exclusively on vintage sewing machines, but who has dabbled from time to time with new ones, I agree with all the points you've included in this video. I just don't get the appeal of a computerized machine -- to me it seems like an exercise in almost constant frustration, not to mention the cost of near-yearly professional servicing. Great video!

Really a useful video and confirms my feeling on computerised and new, versus vintage. I love the vintage machines. I can jump over to the computerised for a one-step buttonhole as desired. But the stitches and satisfaction of using my Singer 201K for clothes, or Singer 222K for quilting, is just unparalleled. The Bernina fills in where a Rolls-Royce with features is required. And on the side a Janome 8077 portable for back-up. If you love to sew it's all interesting. But certainly the vintage are indomitable and beautiful to look at. If I had to choose it would be vintage with attachments. Eventually they'll all go to my granddaughter who I'm teaching just now on a 221K.

You are correct about what you say about pre 1960 machines though I'd add that besides hire/purchase Singer became well known because its advertising manager was a pioneer in sales trchniques which are still in use today. You are correct about the use of plastic parts in cheaper machines. Anyone who sews more than the very occasional mending job will tell you those machines aren't worth it. If you plan any regular use you're looking at starting around $1200 (US). They do not have plastic parts. My last one lasted 25 years of hard use before I replaced it. That's just the really cheap ones which are garbage. Oh . . . And you're way out on cost for the top-of-the-line models. Well over 10 grand (US) but you really don't need all those bells and whistles. We totally agree on looking for a used machine. Huge savings for a great machine.

Lovely video. I have my grandma’s then mom’s vintage treddle convertable to electric singer. I have the cabinate and a crazy button hole gizmo attachment. My personal favorite is my 1970’s Elna. Also have an elna lotus. My old Viking is a sturdy workhorse. When I bought it the salesman sewed through a wooden yardstick.! Those machines still purr. Now I own a few modern machines, Janome & Brother. They do embroidery, have speed control, self thread, cut thread, feet that walk, knot thread, stop filling bobbin when full, wash dishes, dust and vaccuum! Everything! 😉 next I expect a machine that will follow verbal commansds. What do you think? Thanks so much!

I payed 65 bucks for my singer 66, and 2 days ago I sewed a leather camera bag with it. I have no experience in sewing, yet it was not a problem to get good results. I used 1,6mm cow leather and had to do 2 layers most of the time. I do not recommend this, especially not on a daily basis! But there is no way a basic modern machine at that price could have done that, especially not in decent quality. These old Singers are probably the best offers on the market if you really need a capable machine.

The advantage of a modern control is it's generally a PWM so you get maximum torque at all speeds. The voltage at its peak is electronically clipped, tapping only what is needed. Motors run cooler. The vintage reostat gives maximum torque only at full speed, anything slower also powers a resistive circuit that only turns the unwanted speed into heat in the pedal. The resulting voltage drop also heat the motors windings. My machines are the 500 and 503 with the 500 as my portable. With the exception of stitches requiring reverse feed dog movement, my vintage run rings around modern desk hammers. Note that half the stitches in modern machines are reversed. You get the same effect on vintage by sewing in the other direction😂.
