The most common cause of sewing problems on a vintage sewing machine

The most common user mistake on all sewing machines. But with vintage the direction of the needle is different from machine to machine which makes it more tricky to solve... Especially if you don't know this.

What causethread to bunchup on the babin

What model 15 is this? I have the same upper tension on mine but have no idea which model this is. Just a 1936 15. I can’t find any manuals with this same tension assembly. It was found under a house in western Washington state! I have cleaned it up but the thread doesn’t move smoothly through the tension unit. Any ideas would be helpful.

thanks!!

I had no idea that the thread leaver arm had to be in the up position before lifting the foot.

I could help my mother with Your video . Thank you so much

Hi, I recently purchased such a sewing machine, but I can't find any details about it 😥

Thank you. This helped very much. Now to replace that loop thingy on the head plate where the thread goes down to needle hoop.. looks like a singer part will actually fit mine. (70s Russian hand crank)

Thank you!

Wow, the most simplest thing! I was getting pretty frustrated. Thanks for this tip!! Fixed my problem.

Your video has saved my project within 20 seconds of watching it, thank-you very much!

Thank you! I’ve just spent a FRUSTRATING whole day trying to figure out why my machine wouldn’t sew. I come here to your channel and it’s solved in one minute!!! Again thank you.

I’m trouble shooting this exact problem with my vintage singer treadle. I’ve already checked that the position of the needle is correct but it’s still doing the same thing. It will sew about an inch and the stop just like in this video. Do you have any ideas on what to do since I know the needle is in correctly?
