Despite the cheesy production of this video, it is by far one of the most comprehensive and best sewing machine tutorials on youtube. I've gone through so many lame videos of people completely skipping over steps and/or having poor video footage of what the hell they were doing.
When I first turned on this video, I thought, “what the hell am I watching?” Luckily I fought through my urge to turn it off and successfully threaded my machine and sewed my first stitches. I bought the machine to create bandanas to donate to the local dog shelter, and maybe a few collars for my own dogs. I’m a guy who forgot everything that was taught in middle school home-ec class so this was amazingly helpful. Thanks!
Same and I figured out I had it threaded wrong the first time because of another video 😤 may all your bandanas be flawless and the dogs all be adopted 🎉
Me 10 Years Ago: In the middle of Afghanistan, dirty, freezing, tired, blowing up targets, starving to death, being told by the doc I'm gonna be dead from my injuries in two weeks. Me Present Day: Learning to use my new sewing machine while being transformed through music into a magical Sailor Moon girl to battle the forces of evil. This has been a very strange journey...
LMAO. Me 20 years ago: Taking too many drugs, raving and mixing with the wrong people. Me today: Learning to sew along with so many other hobbies I've found after buying my own home and enjoying Sailor Moon commentary. My Brother machine arrives tomorrow and I'm looking forward to learning yet another new craft to add to my welding, plumbing, plastering, programming, electronics, latex clothing manufacturing, carpentry, gardening, and general DIY. It has been a busy journey and I live every day like it's my last.
Me: 15yrs ago, Writing 20pg research papers all night long, refusing to quit because I could still hear that useless high school guidance counselor say I should go to secretarial school because I was 'not college material.' only now I was getting a masters degree. Me now, so overwhelmed I'm in tears trying to understand a damned sewing machine that a woman in 3rd world country can use blindfolded. Why can't I get this??
As a single man, I'm able to make some simple repairs and alterations thanks to this video and my Brother LX3817 sewing machine. I have two dogs and non of the clothes in pet stores fit on them. I also make or alter their clothes and now they enjoy long walks when the weather is cold.
I was chuckling because this video reminded me of the 90's or early 2000's in a classroom. Cheesy (yet calming) 90's styled music, calm light voice, but easy as pie instructions that far make this the best sewing tutorial on youtube I have come across. in perspective, I can't sew, but after watching this, i feel that i actually have a shot at sewing. :3 Love the video, and thank-you.
Probably late letting you in on this, but you are a magical girl. You should have been provided instructions for controlling your powers by now, but it might have been for your own protection. Please be careful and have mercy on those who are unaware of your awesome capabilities; they have no idea.
Out of all the sewing videos I've come across. This by far has kept my attention. Seems very easy to follow and provided step by step instructions. I'm looking forward to using my Brother's sewing machine this wknd.
I sew several times a week for my decorating business (custom drapes, pillows, bedding, upholstering, etc) My old machine was giving me fits this morning. So frustrating! I just needed to walk away and do a bit of retail therapy. Hit Goodwill and lucky me, just happened to find a brand new Brother GX37 for only $40...seriously, I don't think it was ever used! Such a deal! Unfortunately, the user manual was missing. RU-vid to the rescue! This video helped me become familiarized with my new machine quickly and I was able to get back to work on my projects. Yay!!
I am so glad this video is on RU-vid because I have the DVD and rewinding and replaying it is a hassle.I hope I find other videos from the Brother DVD on RU-vid.
Thank you for the video! I just bought a Brother sewing machine and the instruction manual was beginning to take over my life. This made it a ton easier 💜
Looooove it! It is so useful! It's been a while since my mom taught me how to use a sewing machine. I have a brother sewing machine that I have never used, today I did a couple of practice tests and did alright. Hopefully with practice I will get better!
I had my machine over a year and just started sewing. You tube videos save my sanity. I’m new to sewing and I made many mask. I just now ran across this amazing video. And I didn’t know to lay the needle thread on top of the fabric. And I have watched others sew. So I was learning from their videos. The way I was sewing was working. I did occasionally have the thread come out extra from the bobbin area. This might be why it was doing it. And my Bobbin wasn’t always working, thanks for that info.
Here's the timestamp for the steps in case you want to skip to a specific step. Happy Sewing ! 😊 0:43 Setting up the sewing machine 1:13 Winding the bobbin and lower thread setting 4:58 Upper threading 7:26 Start Sewing 8:54 Reverse sewing 9:59 Thread tension 10:34 Satin Stitching 11:25 Buttonhole sewing 14:45 Zipper insertion 15:32 Replacing the needle and maintenance
i can not give this video so many thanks on how to do your thread it vid was sooo helpful after looking at other vids this one help me a lot and i just want to say thank you
I just about cried when I actually got this machine to work lol. IM SO HAPPY! I had a sewing machine before, but I just could NOT figure the damn thing out so I gave up and have been hand sewing EVERYTHING. Through the process of moving a few times I've lost parts of that machine, so I thought I would try again with a new machine. I saw the price of this sewing machine and read the numerous glowing reviews and just bought it even though I had no real hopes of actually figuring out how to work the thing. BUT I DID!! And it works BEAUTIFULLY! This sewing machine was so easy to set up with the help of this video, so THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!
My nana gave me an older one that i never used because i was young. I decided at the age of 23 to start a hobby and this video helped with the brother sewing machine i just bought today! It’s very informative!☺️
I feel like I'm watching a harvest moon sewing tutorial, but the dub is bad. I like it a lot it's very calming. Thanks for the very detailed explanations!
This is the easiest tutorial I've seen by far and it's nearly impossible to miss steps. It feels like it was made for people with short attention spans (like me). Thanks for the video!
I've just got hold of rhe lx25 so really looking forward to using it and learning all how to use it properly looks interesting how the bobbin cases are at the top on these machines looks easier to clean out also with a brush, I had an old brother window matic sewing machine and I've just re oiled it all and done the bobbin case brushed out and replaced the needles sorted the timing out which it's sewing much better now than it did really pleased with it now spent the day doing it but don't do zig zag so ordered a new brother sewing machine so looking forward to using the new bobbin feed
I would have done well to watch this before trying to sew. I was trying to use the written directions. Something went clonk. The machine made a funny electrical noise. It scared me. Until I watched this video, I felt it was just possible my sewing machine was possessed. But I found three crucial things I was doing wrong, and how to fix the clonk. Still afraid of my sewing machine. It goes too fast! But I am entertaining the thought maybe the machine and I could be friends.
this was sooooo helpful, my sewing machine was passed down I LOVE IT i get to make clothes and pillow cases for my daughter thank you so much for this video
Thank you so much for this video, after not having a clue how to set it up I now have a working sewing machine on my first attempt. The instructions are very clear and very well demonstrated.
2020 and making masks.... I have never sewn anything in my life but went and bought a sewing machine with no idea what to do with it. Thank god for youtube and people like you who are willing to share knowledge.... thank you so much, this was super easy to follow and now I am sewing!!!
Bought this machine a few days ago. Choose this one for the price and self threading. I couldn't thread a needle with powerful glasses. Windows 10 has decided it will not play any DVD making the instructional DVD that came with this machine useless, so here I am! THANK YOU so VERY MUCH for this video! I couldn't use this machine at all without you! That self threader makes zero sense to my peanut brain, but I got it to thread by watching you.
My mom and brothers got me a sewing machine for Christmas because I do a lot of hand sewing. I'm still nervous learning how to use the machine but this video is extremely helpful!!
Thank you so very much for this video. My neighbor moved and threw out this exact machine. I picked it and plugged it in and it works 100 percent. This is helping me with set up and to see if I'm missing any pieces.
I love this video! Although many of the instructions dont fit my model, The (Brother Bs-2450) i am grateful my Auntie has given me my first ever sewing machine, and i wont give up trying to use it. Yesterday i did cry in frustration but i finally figured out how to properly install the bobbin, Thank you for this cute video, the music is relaxing and peaceful 🥰🌸
I have watched a few and picked up a few pointers here and there. I know nothing about a sewing machine but after watching this I’m confident and ready to sew my fringes on my garments. This video gave me life
I keep expecting a jumpscare with all the vhs style horror nowadays. This is such a good video though, I started a tailoring project without ever having sewn before and now have experience in both hand stitching and using a sewing machine
this video comes when i bought brother machine since i never be around and new for everything this video was my best teacher to learn by my self even i feel like have a problem with the machine i call for this company and told me i can change it easily to the store where i bought it so i did as fresh this is thev best one thanks a lot
I just bought one yesterday. My question is what number should each of the setting knobs be set on? I sewed a sample piece and the top looked good but the back was clumpy
People disgust me to no end. Stupid comments......atrocious music, woman's voice etc etc. You don't like it? Do your own video and watch all the stupid comments that you receive. People have no class and are not cultured. This girls voice is her voice. NOT YOURS. It's hers. She did an excellent job. As for the music. I love most all kinds of music if it is orchestrated well and performed well. The "music" you hear on the majority of FM stations here in America is junk performed mostly by people that call themselves "musicians" ...just a voice that some talent scout discovered with a pretty face and made millions. That's it! It insults great music and fine musicians who paid a lot of money to study with fine teachers and then practiced their asses off to become fine musicians. What do you know about music? People here are experts on every subject. You tube is a wonderful thing but like everything else in this world it is abused by idiots with foul mouths and hideous comments. Remember: "When you point your finger at someone, there are always 3 pointed back at you. Get a life people.
Thank you for a concise, specific and helpful video. Between this video and the sewing machine’s instructions, I am good to start using my new machine!!I
