Cleaning a 1964 Vintage Singer 600 Touch N Sew Sewing Machine: The Bobbin Area

0:00 - I’m continuing to work on my new-to-me Vintage Singer 600 Touch N Sew, but you can use the same principles to clean any machine (although you might skip the moments that I pulled pieces out of the machine that didn’t want to be pulled out.) You could also call this video Don’t Skip This: The Most Important Thing to Clean on Any Sewing Machine! 00:51 - Tool 1: a nylon cleaning brush. These used to come with machines, but versions of them are still available for sale. You can learn a lot more about why I love them in our previous video, This $2 Tool Keeps Sewing Machines in Top-Notch Condition! -    • This $2 Tool Keeps Sewing Machines in Top-...   01:06 - Tool 2: an attachment for your vacuum cleaner. 08:34 - You might need to use both. 11:01 - Or maybe even just whatever you can find around the room. 13:04 - A few words about sewing machine oil and how to oil the bobbin area for Touch N Sew Machines. 15:53 - Inspect the bobbin case, since you have it out. This one is in good shape, with a little staining. 16:40 - Thrill as I struggle to re-assemble the position bracket I pulled out to remove the bobbin case. 23:57 - Re-install the slide plate. (Again, I had to figure out how, so I hope you enjoy watching that process.) This does take a little time, attention, and experimentation, but I hope I’m showing the importance of cleaning the bobbin area of your machine. Don’t panic if your machine needs a little more attention than you expected. You can do it!
