And here is my 1950s Singer sewing machine. This is also an old photo, but she was missing her bobbin, although I think she had nearly everything else. Like the others in my collection, she is a hand crank sewing machine.

This song has been an earwig in my brain for the past couple weeks, and this idea was too silly not to doodle up.
Currently up on my Threadless as apparel and accessories!

This came in to work today:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/428e86345d9984e0bc102fd424d6638d/fc545070275e5eba-af/s640x960/6fbfad571518067937ef3ac6ac66b27d6f743113.jpg)
My boss guessed '50s or '60s based on the sewing machine (it has a weird flat bobbin and to wind the bobbin you put it in the bobbin compartment -- there's no bobbin case -- and then the needle winds the thread around the bobbin?) but based on the cover illustration I'm guessing very late '60s, possibly even early '70s.
Thoughts?

I am so happy right now. That first line of stitches is literally the first thing I ever sewed with this machine, and they were just... perfect. Immediately. No adjusting of tension, timing, nothing. That's after I took the needle assembly out to clean and put it back in. Not sure if I'm lucky or if it's just hard to fuck up the timing on these machines.
Anyway, I'm so happy she RUNS cuz I rewired her ENTIRELY because all of her wiring was rotted through. I had no guarantee that I did it right until I could put it all together and plug it in. And everything works!!!! :D This is a 96-year-old machine that according to the woman I bought it off of Facebook Marketplace from for $40 said she didn't think it had been used in 30 years.
And it showed, of course, though she was in pretty good shape overall. I had to do a lot of cleaning of old varnish, but she didn't have much rust.
Before:
After:
She will do 30 STITCHES PER INCH, which if you're wondering what that looks like, it's the stitches on the right:
Even my 50s/60s era machines don't stitch that tiny.
Her motor sounds good too, not loud or laggy. Amazing that a 96-year-old motor can run so well. But that's how they made shit back then.
Anyway, next plan of action: redo the cabinet. I want to take off the veneer on the top of it and put new veneer on. This thing was not taken good care over the course of its life, which is sad, cuz this machine would have cost a shit ton of money in 1928.
I'll probably sand down the rest and restain it. And maybe do a French polish on both machine and cabinet, to protect them for another 100 years. :3

My second time attempting machine mending, and I don't think I'm going back to doing it by hand, even if it is a pain to thread the machine with matching thread. A giant ember had burned a hole in my new comfy pants back when I went camping, but now they're all better, and since they're my Camping Pants it's not like they need to look perfect. Thank you vintage sewing manual, you have justified your shelf space.

hey I'm stupid can somebody help me?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5888ff21289df1a6221e8d0e1e04e38f/8fa0428614e3e709-05/s540x810/7fce707b2d6cafad8accc67a435720bd798ee12a.jpg)
I'm experiencing failure at step 3. the bobbin thread WILL NOT show up through the slit. I've used a video. ive used this manual. according to both, ive reinserted the bobbin correctly. I'm trying to get into sewing using an ancient machine, and I get that. but god.
if it helps, it's a springer model 132q made in 2001, if the decal is to be believed. i know the top spool is threaded correctly, as the machine WAS functioning earlier
i would really appreciate any advice

Do you, or someone you know have a sewing machine, with no idea how to use it or where to start? Look no further!
This guide will help you with most domestic electric modern sewing machines, that are "mechanical"
I go through parts, threading, bobbin and needle info, to help you get started!
