The cradle itself is now lined with a spring that holds the shuttle tighter, making for quiter sewing. The whole carrier unit is easy to swap between the machines: behold a large screw on the bottom. In my opinion, the best bits between the two models are the new shuttle carrier and shuttle, the old low mounted bobbin winder personal preference and the new lighter balance wheel less inertia when using a motor. Too bad I cannot easily install the old bobbin winder on my K. Very interesting Singer antique machine history.
They are so beautiful, I mean I love my modern Bernina sewing machine but nothing come closes to the elegance and beauty of antique sewing machines! Like Like. You said it. I think it has to do with the mechanism, not the make. But the VS also can handle high tension, so all together it gives a greater versatility.
Like Liked by 1 person. I never thought about harp space or knew what it was called until recently. I was making quite a few large stiff bags for musical instruments, and getting them done on a regular sized sewing machine was more than a pain — they would get stuck under the arm.
So I just continued struggling. Ditto when making a fur coat of particularly fluffy and dense synthetic fur. And then later when trying to quilt a king size quilt 2. So when I bought my first old full sized machine Singer 66K , which was only very recently, I was completely amazed, awed and overwhelmed by the possibilities of that HUGE harp space!
So I started paying close attention to harp space. I just bought a Singer 27 with Pheasant decals. My singer badge is in the center of the pillar, the bobbin winder is low and the balance wheel is 6 spoke with nickel plating.
It still has the manual release button on the upper tension and the older style carrier. Your machines were 27k and k made in Glasgow. Your machines are very nice. Glad I found yours. I will be making modifications to change over to the shuttle and carrier arm button. This is interesting.
They also had an improved carrier and tension unit, both with release mechanisms, and a better shuttle — all the improvements made in K but done differently, of course. The Singers are nice, but I kept the German machines because of the reverse. I worked out by the serial number that it is a , made in Clydebank. This machine has been in the same family for many years, though not necessarily since Could this have been a wartime repair one or two , though, given the last 27 was made in it seems a strange thing to do… Have you heard of this happening?
Any ideas? Hello My Sister has a Singer sewing machine in excellent condition, looking to see what the worth might be, or if any interest in buying or selling this. It is basically whatever someone wants to pay for it. Another place to look is found at this link , and also at this one and finally this one. In other words, you should have no trouble finding parts for your sewing machine. Or you can try the ball point needles, the size 11 blue tip needles, and more. Check this link out to see the different needle options you have for your model.
If you are still in doubt, then you should check with your local sewing machine repairmen and see what they recommend. Singers were well-built machines and they were designed to handle different sized needles even when they were made over years ago. The needle you use will depend a lot on your sewing project, the material you are using, and how good you are at sewing.
Like Singer sewing machine parts, this is not going to be a difficult task to perform. One of the best locations is at this link. Although 2 may be better if you have newer Singer sewing machines.
Then it is always best to go to the company if you need hard to find sewing machine manuals. Here is the link to the Singer company which lists over different manuals you can download. All you need to do is type in the words Singer sewing machine manual in the search box and you will get more results than you can search through.
The biggest difference between these two machines is their size. They are basically very close to being the same machine with minor differences among them. Their size is what tells them apart. The is a full-sized inch sewing machine while the is only 3. Those differences between the two machines come on a long list and to see them easily, we suggest you look at this link.
Each one has their own special upgrades. Unfortunately, if you own a sewing machine model, you should not expect to get a lot of money for it. Like the , millions of these machines were made and that is good if you want to find spare parts and manuals but not good if you want to see value in your machine.
The value of your machine will mostly be in the sentimental category especially if it is a family heirloom. But do not expect other people to hold to the same sentimental value as you do. The history of the is not that exciting either.
It was first created in about as an upgrade to the But the 28 was still; being sold at the same time and the initial changes were not that great. Like the , records have been lost due to events like WW2 so constructing any history is difficult, to say the least. Basically, there is no real history for these machines.
They were not unique and merely upgrades on very popular and affordable sewing machines. These models also received improvements as technology and further research developed them.
We will duplicate some links here as the same people that have the sewing machine manual have the ones as well. Also, there are so many that came up in our research that we cannot find some of our usual options for our UK readers. The first site to check will be at this link , with the second site to look at is found here. Cast iron and steel, these were built on a slighy smaller scale size, but the same quality materials used inmanufacturing the industrial sewing machines, of their day.
The VS is the same design, in a full size version. Occasionally, you will come across Singer models that look just like the and , but their bobbin winders are lower. These are the 27 VS , and 28 VS, which are older, earlier versions, before electric motors were available, so those models are harder to add a motor to, because the lower bobbin winder works well on treadle machines, but is not configured to work with the electric motor, and belt. My VS has what are called "blackside" finish, which Singer used during World War 2, when chrome, nickel, and other metals were dedicated to the war effort.
Some post World War 2 models also have the blackside decorative pieces, since it took time, before metal became readily available, again. Even presser feet in blackside, are from this time. Notice the textured finish? Officially, Singer sold it as the "wrinkle" finish, but customers, and collectors refer to it as crinkle, or Godzilla. There are other decorative versions of these models, as well, more common on machines made at Singer factories outside the U.
