  I can’t explain enough how grateful I am to you for making this video. My grandmother passed in 2022 and the only material item I insisted I wanted of hers was her vintage sewing machine. We had bought her a handful of “new”, techy ones over the years, even an embroidery one, but those always stayed in the box. The Sears Kenmore vintage machine she learned on was what she used to make all of our Christmas stockings, including my infant sons the year she passed. She used it to make all of my Christmas play costumes, all of my special outfits over the years, as well as my sisters and the rest of our family. I have finally gotten the courage to try to use it myself, still with the red thread she had threaded herself two years ago. Unfortunately almost as soon as I started, the thread broke, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get it back on. I felt so lost because she was the only one in our entire family who knew this machine like the back of her hand. Thank you for being here and helping me. I know I’m just a random KZread comment, but this is one of my favorite videos of all time now just for the connection I felt with my grandma ❤ thank you

  Can you chain stitch on this machine? ( free hand embroidery or quilting)

  Love these videos! I found you when I won the auction for a Singer 401a. Actually made sure i did after seeing your video. I've been saving and sewing machines for 30 years but only until they break. Then I march them off for repair. Until recently! Bought my 7th serger, a Bernina Bernette 334d, only because someone said it was better then the two Baby Locks I successfully acquired. The Eclipse and Evolve is no longer manufactured, but still great. If you ever want a challenge figure out how to repair the air thread system. My chain/coverstitch will not thread. I digress. I purchased a new metal gear for 334d, replaced, and working on fixing the timing and such. This is a thirty plus year old machine. A couple people have taken one apart, and I begged and someone put a video up on replacing this gear. I would love to succeed in this quest. (Note they do not oil Baby locks at all, and Berninas very little. I was absolutely shocked at that Singer 401a cleaning. I've ordered my Tri-Flow. I love to save machines! I have at least four beautiful Singer's in the attic, 66's or 99's. I forget. Also two Bernina Nova 900's. An industrial Singer 234(I think), making my son help carry it to the sewing room today. Giving these to kids and grandkids. My three-year-old granddaughter helped thread the 401a yesterday.). Would love if you could research a Bernette 334d.

  This might be a longshot since this is an older video, but I need help with mine! I have my mom's machine from high school, and she had it serviced before handing it down to me about 15 years ago. It has since stopped zig zagging and I need help! Not sure I have the funds to get it serviced, so hoping someone else has experienced this and maybe has a fix??

  I just rescued a 9W from the garbage! I read it needs a 127 x 1 needle but they are hard to find. I read that a MY1014B is a good substitute. What needle do you use and where do you get them? Also can you reverse stitch by lifting the presser foot lever on this machine like the Singer 99?

  Stevie, thank you for a useful discussion on Riccar Sergers. I have no knowledge of sergers but would love to get one. I like the look of the Riccar! If you had to pick a vintage serger of high quality, mostly or all metal, which would it be? They look enormously complicated. I love all metal vintage sewing machines and like to clean them up and use them. Hard not to collect them! They are so fabulous in design and quality, mechanical gems. I found an old 1957 - 1962 Japan model called a Simon, but made under Universal, Dressmaker, Remington, Alden labels too. Like a vintage Cadillac, all metal and just gorgeous. Cleaning it up and restoring it as well as the Stradivaro Mahogany cabinet it came in. Newer machines are easy but just don't have the heft and durability of these older tanks. Mine weighs 33 lbs! I also have an Elna Lotus SP, and a Viking Husqvarna 6030, and an older model vintage Kenmore - cannot remember the model. Such beauties.

  Worse Case you got 20 dollars of alum Breakage you could recycle or a parts machine to sell to some one needing stuff to restore theres. But oil it up well most likly it will work just fine.

  I found a 401a for $50 but I spent good money getting it un-frozen and set up by a good technician. I use this machine exclusively over my older Kenmore and a more recent Janome my mother used. It sews beautifully the heavier fabrics that I have to sew, it's the best machine I have ever used, it's my favorite!!! Just a few weeks ago I also found the buttonholer for $5.00 at a thrift store too.😀
