Singer 28k manual

After this the height of the shuttle carrier must be checked and the shuttle clearances set. Only when these are all correct can the timing of the shuttle can be checked and if necessary adjusted. Turn the balance wheel towards you until the needle bar reaches its lowest point. If the height of the needle bar needs to be reset, then loosen both screws 'D' in the needle bar clamp and adjust its position accordingly, before tightening them again and then re-checking the gap.

The range of adjustment is approx. If this range is not sufficient to ensure the correct setting, then the needle bar cam and pin should be checked for wear, and if necessary replaced. Insert a needle fully into the needle clamp and then rotate the balance wheel until the point of the shuttle reaches the centreline of the needle.

When my aunt gave up dressmaking about 25 years ago she gave me her old singer sewing machine. I refurbished the cabinet and it has been used as a decorative hall table since then. Now long retired I have decided to have a go at getting the machine up and running again.

The instruction book is going to be a great help and I cant wait to get started. However, due to their sheer weight, most were sold as treadle versions mounted in tables or cabinets. The early treadles used just one foot making a heel-toe rocking motion, but all later treadles, including those offered with Singer 27K machines, used both feet making a left-heel-right-toe or vice versa motion. One complete down motion produced 4 stitches. This in turn was gradually phased out in and re-branded as the 27K with a rectangular base.

Paralleling its big brother, the VS3 underwent several minor modifications, during its lifetime before finally becoming the K. Each time the crank handle turned it produced three rotations of the balance wheel making three stitches, but it did cause arm ache over time!

Hand crank machines came supplied in a small wooden case, making it more like a piece of luggage, rather than a piece of furniture.
