My mother sewed on a treadle sewing machine and I learned to sew on it. I am glad you repaired it and are using it.
You’re so talented Angelina! How clever of you to restore and now be able to use the sewing machine!
Well done Angelina! Beautiful bunting! Will really look good for the events!
Wow Angelina, what a marvelous job you did with the antique machine....no doubt your legs felt the workout by the time you finished 1000m!!!! Well done!!!!
They don’t make things like the sewing machine anymore. I love the sound , it reminds me of my mother sewing , curtains . She was amazing she even made us coats for Easter one year. You are so patient and talented Angelina.
That's one way of keeping out of mischief😂😂😂😂I am making a rag rug🤗☕🍰 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
I remember Angelina restoring the sewing machine. it was very interesting to watch xx
Beautiful bunting, so much nicer than ready made and surely much cheaper. What a huge job it has been for you to make 1000 meters!
Well done Angelina great job at restoring the sewing machine and all that punting wow👏💕🌼🤗
Clever ideas Angelina. Can’t wait to see your lovely bunting gracing the drive.
That’s so amazing that you got the sewing machine restored and working again! The bunting is beautiful with the bright colors.
Angelina, you're a mechanic, too! Your resume is ever increasing with all of your skills learned. Now, sewing machine repairer. By the way, your zigzag scissors are called pinking shears.
While I’ve sewn a on a great number of sewing machines, antique through contemporary, I’ve never encountered that style of thread bobbin. Very interesting. You’ve reconditioned the machine so well to serve your sewing needs,
It's so colourful
Love that old sewing machine. 💕
💖👑👑💖🎬📽🎥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Angelina I love how you just get stuck in to new skills am so impressed that you have got the sewing machine working .I can remember when you first bought this beautiful mashine .I love also you go from doing pretty skills down to getting your wellies on and getting dirty out side cleaning all the leaves you really are super woman .Its made me so happy that you got this beautiful sewing machine working .I bet you wonder what has been made with this sawing mashine l love history well done you really are brilliant 💖😁💖
Great job with the bunting, when i first started working at 16 i was an apprentice in Tailoring and the machines we used were very similar to yours but were Singer and luckily for us they had been motorised so were easier to work they still had the treadle and looked amazing, at home i had a table top Singer which had a handle to work it and that had a shuttle bobbin, lovely machine but so heavy not too sure what happened to it. The only good thing with the treadle it's good exercise for your legs.
Wow 🤩 you must have the patience of a saint! It looks amazing 🤩
I had a singer treadle machine for about 20 years from 1964 to about 1984 when I got an electric machine on to machine number 8 now .and the zig zag scissors are called pinking scissors .loved my old machine made curtains and lots of clothes for myself and the family 🏴✂️👚👕👖👗🧥
I do lots of sewing with the modern machines but I must say this old Naumann is more interesting , imagine how strong these old ones are , you can literally hear it !
`Love love love your machine! I learnt to sew at school on a treadle machine, probably a Singer. Then my Mum gave me a Singer treadle machine for my 13th birthday, and I made all of my clothes on it for many years, drafted my own patterns and thought I was re-inventing the wheel! I loved my old treadle so much, it could sew very heavy canvas as well as very fine chiffon. I'm looking out for one at the moment, they're so reliable and easy to maintain. And with looming power cuts over Winter here in New Zealand, I can always mend or make something if I need to! The bunting is going to look great down the drive! I'll bet you had very good calf muscles by the time you finished that job! Big hugs from a cold, wet and windy New Zealand xx
Love your machine 🥰 Good tip for the roll of binding👍👍👍 awesome job Angelina
You could put parts of the flags in dye, another section in one color an then some in another color etc.
What a great sewing machine! I’m jealous, just a little tip when sewing your project, the fabrics should be on the outside of your throat space. Your doing a great job, love the bunting
Thank you so much for explaining how to make bunting. Will be having a go myself now.
Great job on the sewing machine & I love the bunting. Big job!
Ok, I seem to get small great tips from Angelina. I have seen for a few years but you can always learn new tips from anyone. Love the spool on hanger idea! Works for many other trims, etc.. Would never thought of using any sort of fabrics and bed linens to do this. It looks so bright. 👌🏽
Thats was so cool you using that old machine .
Lovely to see you back Angelina.
I'm a day late to this but I was so glad you showed the bobbin. I've watched several Chateau vlogs and English sewing vlogs using very old machines and I always had bobbin questions. I rather like the idea of encasing the bobbin that way. However, it certainly doesn't seem to hold much thread. Noticed that the sewing foot is not still while winding. Must say I do like that feature on my newer machines. My mother had a treadle Singer machine and made many things before finally using the metal work for a frame for a small table. Not sure what happened to the actual machine, but I still use the table (don't move it much as it's heavy).
Great job with sewing machine restoration and bunting. The zig-zag scissors are called Pinking shears in UK 😃
Lovely vintage machine
Very interesting vlog, and you’re right about the bobbin, it’s called a bullet bobbin!
Angelina, I hope that you were listening to music or had a TV show playing in the background when you did the mundane task of sewing. Sewing those triangles for hours would drive me insane without entertainment playing in the background--hahaha.
Thank you so much for this. I have been debating about making bunting. Explaining how to do this was so useful that I am now going to have a go. Thank you so much 🫡
Nice to see Rick giving Billy a hand.
I loved this! Angelina how many memories you brought back for me in 4H. As a young girl we used sewing on all types of sewing machines. I actually have a 1940s ish sewing machine and as an aging person I appreciate the simplicity and incredible design of these machines. Thank you!
When putting the thread on the bobbin…on the wheel of your machine there is a smaller wheel which you turn counterclockwise. This allows you to do the bobbin really fast and evenly. It also keeps the needle part of the machine disengaged while doing the bobbin. Just be sure to tighten it again when the bobbin is full and you’re ready to move on.
I love the sewing machine! I have always heard that those are the best to quilt on because they do not have any plastic parts. To tell the truth, I have never seen the foot petal worked either. Interesting and tiring!
Well done Angelina it is looking great 😀 xx
Someone gave me an old machine like that with the case that made it portable. It had been electrified with a small motor bolted down to the back with a leather strap from the motor to the machine...sadly even that was so old that I couldn't use it with the electricity in France which is 220, the motor was 110-120 European plug so it was pre-1960, and the person that had originally owned it told me it was motorized during the War (WWII) and she had bought it in 1944 after the liberation of Paris when she was in Fashion School that is now called Esmod. I brought my machine from the states a year later and just got it tuned up so it's waiting for my projects all set up and patiently waiting for me to get off KZhead....
Get it up and running! You don't know what pleasure you are missing out on. Bet your machine would make great bunting for your house too.😊
Well well a trick to learn coathanger 👍🌝
With that bullet shuttle, Angelina, I would be surprised if your machine was only 90-100 years old. Dyeing your pale duvet covers could give you lots of deeper colours for next year. Good luck with all your events.
I learnt to sew on a treadle sewing machine, making curtains for my Mum when we moved house (1968) I was in my mid teens. The bobbin shuttle is very similar to the wooden ones they used in the cotton industry in the C19th . Well done Angelina for restoring this piece of history.
I learnt to sew on an old singer machine with the shuttle bobbin in the 1960’s. They are great machines but I wouldn’t swop it for my all singing, all dancing machine I have now. You’ve made a lovely job of the bunting and thanks for the tip of the coat hanger holding the tape 👍 I’m wondering if it would work for holding bias binding tape if you’ve got a lot of binding to do 🤔 definitely something to remember for the future
That sewing machine is awesome. So nice you brought it back to life. I can't sew at all. No patience and had bad time in junior high home economics class trying to sew stuff. I can knit and crochet but not sew. What are you doing with all that bunting. Decoration for the pub?? Saw Rick today helping at Billy's convent. Hard worker. Enjoy your week. Hugs to Lightning 😘
I thought I noticed him too. How far are the 2 chateaux from each other? Rick gets around. I'd like to know more of his story.
Lovely restoration of the antique sewing machine and mastering the mechanics of it. Beautiful bunting work and choice of fabrics. xx
Hi, Angelina. Not sure if that machine is the same, but on mine, you can hold the outside of the wheel on the right, and twist the center circle and it disengages the foot, so it doesn't go up and down while filling the bobbin. Then after, tighten the center circle to re-engage it. Worth a try. :)
Love the bunting! I'm going to take a stab at fixing your shuttle bobbin issue. At time stamp 11:25 I get a close up of the threading ... Coming from the spool of thread I see a tension disc thingy and the curly guide thingy , technical terms I'm sure that exist..lol....Now does the tension disk thingy sit on a screw ??....If you tighten or loosen that screw does it not move the disks more to the right...What I see at that time stamp is that the disk that the thread feeds through is perfectly lined up with where the thread is currently stopping on your shuttle bobbin...short of it's goal....so in my thinking the disk up top needs to be moved a tad to the right...if it sits on a screw...and that I cannot tell from the video....moving it to the right lining up to where you want it to stop will fix the issue....I hope that makes sense cause that's the best I've got...lol
Whew!
All machines are by the serial number. My singer was 184 sold in the continental united states in 1784. My other is a 1910 Montgomery . The scissors are called pinking shears.
To wind bobbins with equal thread distribution, try to screw the screw holding the little tension discs in about a half turn at a time and see if that will correct uneven winding. I suspect its just a matter of that screws relative location (right to left) above the bobbin.
The knob in the center of the wheel on your right needs to be unscrewed to stop the needle from going up and down when you are threading a bobbin 🧵 - Then tighten it up again.
I have to make them too!!!
It is a Seidel & Naumann Modell E (Einsteiger = beginner) I think. Famous for improving the Singer patent.
Wow
Hi guys!! I know it is way past the fact...... But it you want even spacing between the bunting "flags" if you put a piece of masking tape on your sewing table as an time to add another flag.... when the end of the flag that was just sewn reaches it... stop and add the next flag.
The machine is lovely, and works so well. It is foot powered and not electric needed. I remember my mother having the "pinking Sheers" too, Now I wonder where they went! She lived to be 98. So as old has your machine!
It's probably not supposed to go all the way to the end so it can fit in the shuttle right. I saw the one where you oiled the machine. I've been sewing for 60 years and was always told to not use 3 in 1 oil or the grease you used but to use special sewing machine oil and lubricant. Singer makes them both and are reasonably priced. I was told the others are to thick and oily and will gum up the machine.
👍👏👏
Why is bunting used for decorating?
Years ago I had a similar treadle machine but sadly had to let it go after moving many times.
Love that vintage sewing machine. Great job. My mom calls the scissors that are jagged like teeth, pinking sheers, I am curious what your heritage is Angelina as I hear something other than British and have always wondered. Can’t wait to see the tunnels investigated.
What are those reals called? I've been looking for something to use for bunting. I've been using pre made bias band but it's only available on 3 meter lengths.
