This cute little Model 20 Singer has been sitting for years and needs some help to get it back up and running again.

This video covers the subject of freeing up seized sewing machines in general.

I don't have the required 24x1 needle on hand so I sort out a good substitute.

Chain stitch type machines work differently to standard sewing machines and I show this in detail.

There's also a problem with the tensioner unit that I sort out.
Then it's time to sew test the machine.
