@achu8708 2 года назад

I agree! I could see what you were oiling too! Great video! One suggestion if you are worried we can't see... Try using a headlamp? Still, no complaints! This fixed my machine problems!

@purrldeaf-girl2850 2 года назад

Thank you for your generously detailed video. I have been sewing since the age of 5 and started on a cast iron, hand crank Singer (still have it), moved on to a 1904 Singer tredle with Pheasant head, then an electric Singer featherweight, a Kenmore, a Bernina and now a Brother sewing machine. But...I had no idea how to do maintenance on these new, computerized machines. My Brother machine started making a horrific "knocking" sound. Every time I tried to sew, my Spouse complained that the noise was unbearable. I watched your video and felt at least 10 IQ points smarter. No more knocking noise and you 100% probably saved my marriage. You rock! Thank you again.

Even I know a lot of sewing and most of the things you show, I always learn something new. Your explanations are calm, you show step by step so even beginners can learn from it. No music which would make it hard to listen. The videos are so helpful and you can clearly see everything. Thank you so much, I'm watching every video (even the old ones) and I'm looking foreward for new videos :)

I truly appreciate your positive comment and feedback. I've been out of the studio for about a month, but I'll be back to making new videos from now through the rest of the year. Thank you so much for watching, let me know if there's something you'd like to see in the future (although it sounds like I could learn a lot from you!)

I continue to be thankful to all those that do tutorials. I've been sewing for many years (mainly mending actually) & have been lax in cleaning etc... I keep thinking I need a new machine, but I actually may need to just clean my machine so it runs better. Thanks to this video, I'm inspired to really do a much needed cleaning & tuning (so to speak). Thanks again for taking time to do this how to.

Recently bought a machine just before lockdown started here. Unable to take up offer of a couple of free lessons the store were running for novices. They recommended your site. Found your site so informative to understand as a complete novice and gave me the confidence to push myself a bit. After numerous novice errors and cotton and lint everywhere this was helpful. Back to a clean machine and now back to the face mask and scrubs bags production line. Big thanks on behalf of all us novices out here.

@eugeniaread2724 Год назад

I just discovered this tutorial and am over the moon about it because I have been experiencing difficulty with the tension. I learned a couple of things from watching this video: confirmation that I have been cleaning it properly, the location of the bobbin tension screw and how/where to oil my Brother SQ9050 machine which I have never done since it was purchased in 2013.

@bethrose509 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this video! I inherited my grandmother's sewing machine and have been using it, but I really didn't know much about the maintenance. I just equated the squeaks and knotted threads to the age of the machine (it's about 40 years old) and thought it was just something I had to deal with. After seeing this I plan on buying some new needles and sewing machine oil and giving it a thorough cleaning!

@ronalddevine9587 4 года назад

Great advice. BUT BE AWARE with vintage machines, the flat side of the needle may go to the back, right, or left. Pay attention when you remove it.

Now I also know how to minimize the bobbin birds nests. I didn't realize that having 4-5" of threads pulled to the back would minimize those, so I will make sure of that from now on.

I am so happy to have found this. I was told that my brother machine NEVER needed oiling. But I knew it must need a little oil here and there because I sew A LOT! You have validated my concern and I am going to take that end piece off and oil that one on the inside as my machine sounds scratchy….and it’s skipping stitches when I sew slow…..does pretty good when sewing fast, but has the worst time sewing slowly. Hopefully by oiling that little wheel on the inside will help! Thank You

Thank you for this simple video on basic sewing machine maintenance. It has saved me so much frustration and money. It is amazing how cleaning the lint out, changing the needle or simply rethreading the machine can fix most problems I've had. Before I'd get so frustrated. I was afraid to trust myself with trying to fix problems so I'd take it to a repair guy. He charged me a lot of money and all he probably did was clean or oil the machine. Again, my sincere thanks for giving me the necessary skills. I actually enjoy cleaning up my machine and taking care of it.

@cherrylperez4777 2 месяца назад

So my son in law fixed mine today. We had to take out the part that hides what you just oiled because the thread was stuck tightly in there. He gently pulled towards him the bottom part (where the thread loops back around and up) then carefully lifted the part upwards, releasing the plastic part of the machine. We then were able to safely remove the thread, and I could clearly access the piece you were oiling at 11:23 point of the video. Whew! He sure saved the day for me.
