Introduction to and threading a Singer 20 sewhandy. First time sewing.

How to date my Singer 20 toy/ children’s sewing machine?
In this video I’ll try to show you how to narrow it down and answer the question you probably also have: How to thread the machine. (#Toptip: use 24x1 needles, also known as SY1011 and DHX1)

It’s a short video so if you’re missing some key info: ask, and I’ll get back to you!

PS. The first featured machine has a tension assembly, Singer started with that in 1914. But there are no numbers on the parts (1926 onwards), so that machine is prior to 1926. So: made between 1914-1926.
The other was made in Turkey so: a k20.
I have multiple vids online on Singer sewing machines. Feel free to watch more…
