I found this fascinating. Fairly long, (roughly 32 minutes,) but very satisying for this old heart.

Enjoy this 1894 Singer sewing machine restoration! Personal note, my paternal grandmother had an old Singer hand crank machine and I was allowed to sew on it.

1. WOW this is being passed on the my wife and my sister and all their quilting buddies.

Proving if it was first built right. It is worth saving it and restoring it for the next generation.

2. Absolutely! What touched me was the attention to detail from the restorer.

I loved my grandmother's old crank machine, don't know who got it when she passed. I hope they cherish it, it was in good condition.

3. Singer Sewing Machine Restoration

Thank you most-kindly for this excellent posting. And yes, I viewed the entire operation...but of course, you can easily skip-over the too-sexy parts.

4. LOL! Thanks for the chuckle!

5. That took 2 months (per the description)

It was very satisfying to watch this. The making of the film was great too. Must have required a lot of editing. Beautiful!

Nice find.

6. I loved looking at all the parts that went into the sewing machine.

I love my Brother sewing machine, but the Singer sewing machine parts were so beautiful--and no plastic parts. When the restorer laser etched the old filigree and Singer name it was so cool! So much time and effort went into the restoration, it was a labor of love. Hopefully the sewing machine will last another 131 years!

7. Wonder just how much that cost. All of those tools.
