This is Lindsey’s beautiful Brother Select-o-matic HZ3-B1 in beige/pink and gunmetal gray.Īllison from shared these photos of her Riviera branded machine: Here you go, Margaret!Īnd the best part about publishing my dorkiness for all to see? Readers are kind enough to send me photos of their machines! Thank you for sending your photos and letting me share them! Margaret asked for a close up of the tension assembly. If yours is FRONT loading (unlike mine!) this might work, but I can’t personally vouch for it :

Some Select-o-matics were FRONT loading, meaning the slide plates opens to the FRONT. favorite this post Feb 11 Sewing Machine 80 (lkc > Lake Charles ) pic hide this posting restore restore this posting. If yours is SIDE LOADING like mine, I’ve tested this part and it works. atlas sewing machine 200 (vtx > Moulton ) pic hide this posting restore restore this posting. My machine is side loading – that means my bobbin slide plates goes to the SIDE, not the FRONT. Foot Control: Personal preference, but an electronic type is so such an improvement over pedals with a rheostat.It’s bright and it won’t burn the hell out of your hand! Light bulb: 7/16″ LED replacement from the fabulous Brad of Stitch All The Things here: This bulb is a great upgrade.I did buy a second one that was 14.5″ actual/15″ nominal here: though I think that ended up going elsewhere. Belt: I’m pretty sure it’s a 15″ actual/15.5″ nominal lug belt that fit, link here.I prefer reproductions and avoid adapters for “snap on” feet. Any low shank presser foot will do, zigzag compatible preferred. Any class 15 bobbin will do, though the ones I’ve found from Sew Classic are a little higher quality than those in the big box stores. This machine was based on the patents for a Singer 15 so it’s super easy to find reproduction parts.

Next most common question: where can I find replacement parts? Good news here, folks. How about that?! Now you can clean the cams and make everything spiffy and new! And here’s a sneak-peak at what you’ll find under the hood… It should look something like the photo to the right. Now unscrew the top screws which are holding the top on.Twist the top of the Indexer Knob while holding the bottom/flatter part still.Once those knobs are set, the Indexer Knob will release itself so it can be removed.I also think it helps to put the Stitch Selector Knob at #1, but perhaps I’m superstitious.Set the Indexer Knob to zero (do this by turning and holding the Switch Over Knob to the right while you manipulate the Indexer Knob).The machine is sort of a puzzle box, so let’s start with a diagram: The most common question I get about this machine is “hey, how can I take the darn top off?” Such a good question. I also get a fair number of emails about this gem of a machine, so I think it’s time for a little update. And it makes the most charming and satisfying purr when its running. It is smooth, consistent and reliable - every damn time. Every time I use it I fall more in love with it. Last night I sat down to sew on my Brother Select-o-magic (link to original post here: Brother Select-o-matic), and I was reminded how much I adore this machine. If you miss my ramblings, please come join me on instagram! I’m so much better about sticking photos up there! I assure you that I’m still sewing up a storm.
