Video Tutorials: How to Sew with a Bobbin Case Sewing Machine

My second sewing machine is a White Model 1755. I received it from a friend and think it’s from the 1990’s, but trying to find information for it online is a bit of a challenge. I rarely use it, since I prefer my ancient Singer.

The White 1755 sewing machine features a side loading bobbin case, so I decided to do a how to video series for it. I have a feeling that I’ll be referencing my own video in the future when I need to use this machine, since I don’t use it very often.

I personally prefer the drop-in bobbin, mainly because it’s the bobbin style of my Singer and the one I’m most comfortable with using. If your sewing machine uses a drop-in bobbin, then check out How to Sew with a Drop-in Bobbin Sewing Machine.
