This was really instructional and easy to follow. I am not mechanically inclined but i love the older sewing machines but I didn't own one until I found one I thought from around the 1950's (Davison's of Dixie) at Goodwill with the built in sewing table for $25 and it worked but groaned a bit but i knew it needing oiling but no idea how to do it. I cannot find any info online for the co that made it. It's so old doesnt thread like new machines but your video will enable me to use it :) Thanks
i found 4 vintage segner and edson sewing machines in the dumpster and were froze solid after some gun cleaning solvent and a lot of penetrating oil and a little rapping on the needle cam they all broke free now i just got to get them retimed and a few missing parts and they are all ready to go i just love the old treadle machines i found
Thanks soooooo much for this video, I just recieved a vintage 50s / 60s sewing machine needing oiling! I have never had to oil a machine before but now I do!
Hello, thanks for the video! I am interested in starting to sew and would like some advice on buying a vintage machine. I would like a singer w./cams, but can't tell which one would be the best. I see lots of touch and sews, but keep hearing bad things about them. Also I have inherited some of my grandmother's old sewing accessories, a black singer buttonholer and a few different presser feet. I would love to find a machine I could use these with since her actual machine has been lost. Thanks!
great video, I found my machine at a thrift store for $19.99 its a 1944 montgomery ward . I love the vintage machines just for the fact that they are power houses. I was given 2 $50 machines that were half the size of this MW machine, both broke within a month of use, not that i was not keeping up with maintanace. but i need the power from my machines. Love the video.
Wow, thanks for this video--I have this very machine, which I inherited from my grandmother years ago. I do need to oil it more and your video has inspired me. I noticed that my instruction manual for this machine doesn't say anything about taking the cover off--I didn't even know you could do that! I will have to try it. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video. I am very new to sewing. I have a new sewing machine, but it's in the shop for repairs. I was given a Necchi 523 months ago and had no idea where to apply the oil. Your video was informative and detailed. You took the time to explain everything. I've oiled my machine and now I am using my Necchi :)
Thanks for your advice. Are you going to be doing some sewing instructions on youtube? There are quite a few good ones already, but not very thorough. I am a beginner. I just can't rip fabric and voila create a dress like some of those creative people.
@Saffron49 I've actually done quite a few instructional videos on youtube. I don't have any planned for the near future. They take a tremendous amount of work..... I love making them but sometimes the return is a little lackluster.
@Saffron49 I find my necchi machines on craigslist or local ebay. I really try not to pay to have machines shipped and risk the damage. I'd say not to pay over $100 for most vintage machines....

Do you every sew vintage patterns? Sometimes, I just think it is hard to find things on youtube. Your videos are fabulous and educational.

Where did you find your necchi? I have seen some on youtube, and they all seem to go through lots of fabric.

Marvel oil is actually a red color and smells like peppermint. It does not seem to leave any residue after it evaporates.
