How to thread, wind the bobbin, set the stroke and sew on a Singer 301: Restoration Series Part 27

Time to test sew! In this video I show how to thread, wind the bobbin and set the stroke on a Singer 301. Then I will show how to test sew for the first time after the restoration has been completed.

Follow along as I disassemble and restore a Singer 301. In this series I will show you how to remove parts, clean, troubleshoot and then reassemble the 301. Here is the link to the full playlist:    • Full Singer 301 Restoration Series
