My mission is to reinvigorate involvement inward erstwhile Singer sewing machines, in addition to aid those already using them. In this historic menstruation of plastic junk, it's incredibly satisfying to role an all-metal machine that was made over 50 years agone in addition to yet runs similar it was build new. A well-cared-for or well-restored Singer volition run forever in addition to create its chore amongst excellence. If you've e'er seen the beautiful straight stitch set downward yesteryear a well-tuned Singer in addition to therefore y'all know what I mean. If y'all don't know what I mean, y'all volition subsequently I populate this weblog amongst plenty entries.
Singer would receive got twenty- or thirty-pound chunks of cast atomic disclose 26 in addition to precision-machine them into refined, powerful in addition to versatile tools. They dominated the global sewing machine marketplace from roughly the belatedly 1800s to the 1950s. They made the best stuff, designed yesteryear the best engineers, manufactured using the best techniques amongst the best materials. That's why the machines are yet around. I receive got an expensive fancy-schmancy jail cellular telephone outcry upwards that is state-of-the-art, in addition to chances are I won't receive got it inward 2 years; it volition intermission or transcend obsolete. Similarly, the reckoner you're reading this on is non something you'll give to your grandchildren. But I've fixed upwards thrift-store Singers that I know volition yet live sewing subsequently I'm dead.
The machines I've fixed volition final non because I'm simply about kinda super-mechanic, but because they are designed incredibly intelligently in addition to built amongst durable materials. You don't receive got to live a rocket scientist to perform the basic operations necessary to acquire them running, therefore I promise y'all volition non live besides intimidated to seek out them. The basic mechanical principles they operate on were worked out inward the 1800s. With simply a lilliputian seek out y'all tin give notice plough a frozen-up boat-anchor Singer into a lifelong machine, in addition to I desire to aid y'all create that yesteryear sharing what I larn equally I transcend along.
I could non receive got learned to role in addition to develop these machines without the generosity of many individuals on the Vintage Singer Yahoo Group, the Featherweight Group, the WeFixIt Group, the sewing machine repair instructor Ray White, in addition to a disclose of real patient individuals. Sadly I've never fifty-fifty corresponded amongst simply about of these people straight in addition to at to the lowest degree 2 of them passed away earlier I e'er had a direct chances to give thank y'all them for their generosity.
So hither I would similar to give thank y'all simply about people. I create non hateful to claim these people endorse me, in addition to if I accidentally give out wrong data I desire it to live clear the error lies amongst me. I desire to give thank y'all (in alphabetical order) Barbara L.G., Bill E., Bill H., Bill R., Chuck G., Dave M., Ed L., Graham F., Graham F.'s "Singer motor guy" indirectly, Jenny G., Leo K., McKenna L., both Ray. W's, everyone from Ray White's NC 2011 class, in addition to many others whom I'm certain I receive got forgotten to list, for their fourth dimension in addition to knowledge.
