Singer 6268 Sewing Machine - Part 2 - Local Charity Shop Repair - Embroidery Attachment Testing
I decided to try to make progress with the embroidery attachment for the Singer 6268 sewing machine.
I was hoping the embroidery attachment was not reliant on the feed mechanism that I removed from the machine in the last video so I could show it in action.
Things didn't quite work out as planned as you will see.

Easy Thread Changing on your Serger / Overlocker - The Pull Through Method
Переглядів 6463 місяці тому
An easy way to change your serger thread without having to fully re-thread the machine. This is handy if you're wanting to change color or you notice the thread is about to run out. The new thread can be tied on to the old thread and pulled through. If your knots are small enough they will go through the looper eyes. The knots will not go through the needle eyes so they will need re-threading. ...

Surprisingly the cam is in really good shape But I also have the 3d printer files and a 3d printer so I'm good on that. though it didn't come with the power cable so I ordered on on ebay and freed up the stuck knobs with some good ol pb blaster.

    The waer on this machine in the video is visible but it still does the job. I learnt how to sew on my mothers "Crocodile" as we call them here in Sweden and was very sad as she changed is for a newer machine. I have now bough one for myself and it is very nice to sew on. The machine i bought for 35 USD was with all the extras but did not work properly. Some oil later the machine was back in working order with no extra maintenace needed. Amazing quality. The gearbox for slower and more powerful sewing is a feature that i really like but lacks on newer machines. The automatic disengagement of the machine when vinding the bobbin is also one step ahead of many machines even today. I think the quality of this machines is at the pinnacle of machanic sewing machines. Bernina and Pfaff have thier own take on failfree high quality, undestructable machines from the same period, but i find the "anti jamming feature" on the Husqvarna one point above the rest. The only downside is that the Zig-Zag is not especially wide compared to modern machines. But you can´t have it all for 35 USD. (Going rate for a working machine like this in Sweden is about 150 USD.)

    I got this for $10 and the gear is certainly cracked, even worse I broke that oil wick and I would need to replace that I believe or it may not work? Is it worth it for me to try and replace the gear myself? My reasoning is I can’t afford a serger and I saw this broken one for $10 and thought I could fix it. It seemed very taunting

    So, if the bobbin winder spins very slowly, or not at all…is it typically the rubber tire needing replacement? I finally got it to stitch, but I cannot make a bobbin anymore. Tried to remove cover but no luck accessing rubber; hoping there’s a # on it. I cannot find my model online either, for the rubber tire size; Euro-Pro X 7130. Is there a compatible make/model?- they never name mine on Amazon or sewing parts sites. Frustrated.

    Hi, I serviced a Singer 15 nostalgia copy just recently. Your machine here has distinct similarities under the bonnet as it were, even to the position of the thread tension unit. In fact I'd say it was modern coach-work on a 15 copy chassis. Also there's the copyright breach avoider of "The Singer Company" on your machine instead of The Singer Manufacturing Company. Hope this helps. Regards Geoff

I realise too that it was me who destroyed the gear by pushing through some tough material with the wrong needle. I would not have realised that was why without your help.

Unfortunately the needle isn’t bent. Is the needle centering adjustment difficult? It uses a vibrating mechanism arm that I was looking at to see any obvious screws but didn’t see any obvious adjustments. Thanks for your videos they are a help.

    I have my Mom's old White 999 sewing machine from the 80s and I love it. She's an ugly duckling but she's a smooth running workhorse and easy to maintain. I just today picked up this White 534 serger (1985 I believe). I know the looper gear is broken - first thing I checked based on this video - but I only paid $35 USD for the machine, so no big deal. The part is $50 USD here and hoping that will get her running. Will find out when local shop opens if they can do the repair and for how much. In the meantime I will work on cleaning this filthy girl up. My husband said he would just by me a new one - only a couple hundred bucks on Amazon he said - I told him no, thank you though, as I know those will be all plastic and cheaply made. I know if we can get this old solid hunk of steel running again she'll probably out live me.
