Vintage Sewing Machines Blog

This machine was my Mother’s old sewing machine, she thinks she bought it in 1953, but I think according to the series numbers it is from 1958. There is a round space where the power cord plugs into the side of the machine, looks like an antique type of connection. Everything else is in case, foot pedal, etc.; everything but the power cord we need. Help??

My mom just gave me my grandma’s old sewing machine. Ive been trying to figure out how to thread it for a while now and i just cant figure it out. i don’t know the model or anything but its really old, light green, and it’s a singer. If you could help me that would be great!
shes with me. haha. its a lot different then the newer sewing machines that ive used before. i know how to thread those. this one looks nothing like the sewing machines they have out now.

Go to http://www.singerco.com/support/model_number.html
and use the photos to locate the model number. You can then go to http://www.sewusa.com and find a threading diagram to help you.

If sewusa doesn’t have that model, look for models with close-ish numbers and see if those diagrams make sense. Or google the model number and "manual" Or call 1 800 4 singer and ask for a manual.

PS: if it’s been sitting around for awhile, the first item on the agenda should be a good cleaning (use a vacuum, not compressed air) and oiling (with sewing machine oil, not WD-40 or 3 in 1)

An old electric sewing machine in working order, Jones Model D66, has lost it’s instruction manual. I would like to find one so that I can use the machine.

Here’s a website where I found a manual for one of my old machines
relics@sewing-machine-manuals.com
or type in "sewing machine manuals" in search box on your toolbar.
There’s another one called Allbrands.com…they have parts and manuals.
Also try to do a search by brand name and model no of the machine.Good luck

A Singer shuttle bobbin shows how it sews. See the old girl show her stuff as she sews like she always did. This is a 1920’s Singer K model if I am not mistaken. I got it for $10 at a Habitat store. It had thread in and ready to sew after decades of sitting.
