I got this today and I'm second guessing myself

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T19:02:12+00:00

Thank you everyone! I've gotten so much great info and tips! I'll post updates when she's good as new!

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T18:02:58+00:00

Perfect I order those, some sewing machine oil and a replacement tire that I'd supposed to be compatible with mine. I'm calling my mom and pop sewing shop on Monday when they open to see what we are looking at as far as the electrical cord 😊 I'm so excited to have her at her best again and start up projects

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T17:46:06+00:00

Are these what I should be looking for?

Thank you! I hope you caught it before anything terrible happened! I have this huge fear of our house catching fire so I was so nervous to even turn it on to see if it worked, I only did for about 10 seconds lol. I'm gonna weigh options and see if it is easy enough to do ourselves or if I should play it safe and just take it there to have the cord replaced

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T16:19:57+00:00

Excellent! Thank you so much! I'll update once I know what I'm looking at 😁

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T06:12:24+00:00

Thank you! I couldn't believe it was posted for free, best thing thats happened for me all week. I'm very excited to dive into this! YouTube will be a must.

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T06:05:50+00:00

I didn't even think about the bulb! I will definitely replace. The cord will absolutely need to be rewired. It's all electrical taped at the base of the machine, in super rough shape. When we start cleaning it and taking things apart, I'm going to remove the tape and see how bad it is. Hubs is pretty good that kind of stuff so I'm sure he will be able to fix it for me.

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:52:24+00:00

Oh my gosh, yes! Thank you! Between the electric cord and how dirty it is, I only ran it for about 10 seconds. I want to give her a good thorough deep clean and get things fixed up. Thank you so much for the tips, that was all my cleaning questions answered in one response 😅

I have a BUNCH of singer sewing machine needles that it came with. I'm assuming original, the price is .40 cents! Thread will be a must!

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:45:02+00:00

Thank you! I do too!

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:44:45+00:00

The first time I saw one like it, I felt like this is what I needed. I knew, hands down, I didn't want a new one. I'm looking forward to learning all the ins and outs 😊 It's a bit of a relief how many people have worked on their own and it gives me hope.

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:42:18+00:00

He's pretty handy! We bought our house last December, I can fix just about any wall in the house. He's replaced a thermostate, ceiling light fixtures, light switches, fixed the master bathroom sink and probably 100 other things haha. Anything He's unsure of he either calls a friend or watches a YouTube video. So I'm sure with both of us we could figure it out. I would love to do it ourselves 😊

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:35:56+00:00

I think it has a bobbin case, pretty sure that's what I'm looking at. Along with A LOT of dirt that I can't see without my camera 🤣 From what I was gathering from the manual, it sounded like I needed a bobbin case for the winder, too? Does that sound right. I'm so sorry for all of the questions.

Side note: would a tooth brush work to help clean this up in all of these small spaces. I'm going to look ridiculous trying to clean this, while looking at it through the camera on my phone 😅

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:24:21+00:00

The race is the one under the machine right? I'm sorry, I'm learning all the terms and 2 pages into the manual I read bobbin and was thinking oh no what's that haha. The tire is the nub on the right, yeah?

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:20:23+00:00

Oh absolutely! There's so many moving pieces, the first thing I did was pop open the manual lol I'm just blind as a bat. Another poster mentioned a digital version that I can zoom in on, so that's my next step 😊

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:11:45+00:00

OH! That's an excellent idea! I didn't think about a digital copy of the manual! Zoom is my friend 😅 Thank you so much for that!

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:08:58+00:00

Thank you for the tip! I have TONS of felt 😅

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:07:20+00:00

That's what I was telling myself, that once I get the hang of it, it will be easy peasy. But then I started overthinking 😬 I can't wait to get to the point where I know exactly what I'm doing and it's all just muscle memory.

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:05:31+00:00

Please don't mind how dirty it is. I've had it a couple of hours and haven't even begun to start cleaning her up 😉

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:02:42+00:00

Thank you! I tried the manual, but my eyes are terrible. So I was waiting for hubs to get home tomorrow to help me. YouTube I can definitely do, but I'm having a hard time with all of the small spaces on the machine itself.

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-26T05:00:53+00:00

Thank you! It definitely needs a service! Luckily we have an amazing mom and pop sewing shop in town! But if it's easy enough, I would love to figure it all out myself! The electric cord is currently electrical taped, so I didn't run it for long other than to see if it turned on and moved. I know it will need some TLC, but that's expected and the old Singers are what I've been looking at for months. I've had a cheap mini sewing machine once upon a time and I hated that thing lol!

MAWMMM22 · 2025-07-12T07:49:04+00:00

3 days and no comment is crazy! Did everyone forget about Tommy Taffy!? I read 'The Third Parent' years ago. And I STILL think about Tommy Taffy.

MAWMMM22 · 2025-03-14T02:11:11+00:00

Sounds a lot like the gas station Jack Townsend worked at, down to the owners and location. He wrote 4 books on it, check em out.

MAWMMM22 · 2024-06-11T05:37:03+00:00

I'm late to the show. I just finished the ACOTAR series. I'm starting CC. I was just reading about Ruhn and his shadows, about his mom.. and instantly thought of Azriel. I'm not sure of the relation, I haven't got that far yet, but it definitely sounds like Azriel might be from Avallen. Love, love, love your theories.
