Love this video. Have had my machine for about 4 years and actually regretted buying anything new because I haven’t been able to do so many things using the manual. So thank you for your time and very clear instruction.
Thank-you sew much!!😁 I literally purchased this machine today as a birthday gift for myself with money I had saved up and got for my birthday.🥳 I have only ever had hand me down machines and goodwill machines before this. You saved me about $50 in class fees by sharing this video. Will definitely be watching it more than once. Very much appreciated!❤️
I purchased my Brother BQ1350 about a year ago and really haven't used it. I'm a visual learner and the manual just didn't help me much. I learned so much from this video (even though it's a different machine). I believe I'll be able to switch from my Juki straight stitch semi-industrial machine now and really hum with this. Thank you so much. I'm excited to run with this baby now.
Please do more Brother lessons. Your videos are so useful! There do not seem to be any instructional videos like your’s on the VQ300. I am a quilter and always looking for ways to take advantage of all the options within my Dreamweaver. I don’t use a tenth of my machine’s potential.
Thank you for taking time to put together this video. I'm borrowing a brother machine and looking into buying the one you are using. Very well done video
I had an old Mong Ward one for 20 plus years before I bought my Brother. Most of the stitches I show on the other machines are on your machine, but I will do more on the P.S. machines when I can.
Love this video! Question: How do you know how to line up a button hole? I never get them started in the right place. Could you do a tutorial on sewing a line of button holes on a shirt?
Enchanting Rose: Good video for Electronic machines but do you have anything on Basic Household Mechanical Machines like my Brother ST371HD I just bought for Home Use?
I have’nt done anything on mechanical machines. Your machine has the same drop in bobbin case as the one I have in the video, you just have to unscrew the plate to get at it. Tensions work pretty much the same. I should do a video on changing stitches and adjusting length and width on a mechanical machine. 👍 good idea.
Great video! I just bought the ps 700 and was having difficult figuring it out, didn’t get much help from the seller. How did take the top off? I want to take my off. Thank you
I am not sure what you mean by top. The lid at the very top of the machine is open on the video but you can remove it by squeezing the part in the middle where it connects. It is not easy because I am always afraid it will break but you can and there are vertical spool pins you can buy to snap on there.
Does your machine make a loud grinding noise while it's calibrating after you turn it on? Also, I was told not to blow or use can air to clean a machine. They said when you blow or use air you're blowing fuzz from the thread onto the oil causing it to stick.
It is loud when it calibrates but not a grinding sound. I would have that looked at. As for the canned air, I have been selling and teaching on machines for over 20 years and although I have heard things like that I assure you canned air is what sewing machine experts recommend. It blows out the bobbin area and the repair tech can clean the inside when you bring it in for your annual service. Regardless of how you clean your machine you will get fluff inside of it and it needs to be cleaned by a technician regularly.
Make sure the take up lever is at it’s highest point by hitting your needle up button if you have one. Pull the thread up and to the right at the top and then to the left and it should drop into the take up lever. On most machines you can look into the space and see if it is in the take up lever.
It is a needle with small wings on either side that causes certain stitches in your machine to create holes in the fabric. Sometimes the needle is called an heirloom needle or a hem stitch needle. They would carry them wherever they sell machine needle.
Make sure the needle is in the up position by pushing the needle up button not turning the fly wheel. Maybe that will help. Do you have a dealer near you who could give you some help?
