I Got A Sewing Machine... How Do I Use It!!?? 

Thanks. I haven't sewed since highschool and I'm 45 years old now. It took a few tries threading the needle, but after eyeballing the needle clasp, I'm a pro now. I'm sewing!

I’ve had this machine for almost 3 years. It works amazing gets the job done!

Wow!! Thanks for this video. I just started sewing and I didn't even notice my machine had a thread cutter. Good to know all the info you gave in this video.

I learned to sew on a Singer treadle sewing machine a hundred years ago! Well, it feels like that long! It was heaven when I bought an early electronic machine many years ago. Now I have upgraded to an all singing, all dancing one and I am in heaven! One important thing you didn't mention (I'm sorry if you actually did and I know this is a very basic introduction!) is, when changing the upper thread to cut it near the reel/spool and pull the loose end down through the machine via the needle. This saves too much lint getting in the machine as you are not pulling the thread back through the machine though it should be cleaned often but cleaning would be another video. It is nice that you have made this video as, for beginners, reading how to do something on a new machine makes much more sense when you actually see it.

Great video. I don’t think you mentioned that it’s super important to thread your machine with the foot up so the thread can correctly sit in between the tension discs.

Thank you. I knew the threading the needle was easy, even though I had a tough time threading. I just kept watching your video until I got it. It really is easy. Thank you.

Thank you for this video! So much better than the instruction book! 🙏🙏

Thanks for the video! I haven't used My machine in over a year and forgot how to use it 😅 and I didn't even know there was a 6th step for the string, thanks again 🤜🤛

such great video. very informative, with no lag time. answered my questions after the frustration of trying to figure it out on my own. thank you!

just got mine exactly the same and I'm learning about it this video helps me a lot thank you..

Thank you so much for making this video, it helps a lot on me as a newbie. God Bless you always.

As a guy I was scared to learn how to use a sewing machine. However, this video made it easy. The calming voice helps also

I just got the same machine, your tutorial was so helpful... I just subscribed, looking forward to learning more and more about sewing 🙌🏼

Just ordered this online! Can't wait to use it! Thanks for the video! :)

Great video....well explained 👏....it really helped me a lot and understood so many things I had no idea...thanks 😁😘

Thanks for making this video. I was having troubles with threading the needle and you made it so much easier to thread.

Thank you. I just bought this machine and your video was very helpful. Great video 👍!

Thanks for the video, I am planning to purchase this same sewing machine. Very informative. 😊

Always a learning day. Thank you ☆

Wow, I about to order one. Thanks for all the tips!

Hi, I came across your video while strolling to see how to use a gx37 machine I just ordered from Amazon. I have used the brother machine before but it's an industrial kind, very different from the gx37. I really like how you explain to use this. Easy and simple to understand. I subscribed! Thank you.

Thank you! Simple easy instructions.

Thank you for this video, because I just purchased this sewing machine, I am relearning how to do machine sewing... It is very helpful...

Thank you! I wish you (and RU-vid) had been around 20 years ago the first time I got a machine!

cool thank you! I just bought this sewing machine at goodwill for $20 and needed to learn some basics as ive never used a sewing machine before.

Thanks for the video! My wifes 1939 Singer just exploded into a bunch of pieces so I told her buy her a new one for her B day and I'm looking at this one. I'm like hey I can do this stuff! No....no I cant.

Thank you! I’ve had my machine for months and today is the first time trying to use it. This video was really helpful.

This video was perfect. Thank you I have the same model and was able to quickly point out how to use. The other confusing part was getting to SS but it was on the far right (length) wheel at end. Thank you!

Thank you for your video, it helps alot for who ever is using first time.

Thanks I just got this machine and have not sewed since middle school. This was helpful to watch before I got started

Thanks. I have this same model and your video is exactly what I need

Thank you Diana!

Very helpful. Thank you!😊

Your instructions are ten thousand times better than the DVD that came with the machine. Thank you.

Great video! Just got this sewing machine and want a little help on how to start and this video was just perfect!

Thanks for another great video!

Thank you for the tutorial.

Omg thank goodness I found this lol I JUST got a machine for Christmas and it looked like something an alien made 😂😂 thank you for explaining everything so clearly. I wish the threading didn’t go blurry, but I’m sure I can figure it out. Appreciate it!!!

U are very detailed in explaining. I’ve seen a lot but learned a lot from ur video. Thanks

Thank you for doing this video. It would be great if you can make it a bit longer, and have someone film it for you, so that all your moved are filmed. One important point is talking about engaging the bobin, which you completely skipped over that very important point. Somehow, I can't get the bobin on my sewing machine participate in the sewing process!

My boyfriend who has been my best friend for 13 years and I wanted to do a "non-prom prom" because we're not actually going to prom but we're doing our own lil thing since we're in college now. I'm last-minute hemming my dress because I'm short but this tutorial saved me!! Thank you! My only critique is that sometimes the camera goes out of focus and it's hard to see. Other than that, thank you!!:D

Thanks for the video! I have this same machine- my 3 year old has claimed it as hers.🤣

great video, Thanks a lot!

I just got this same machine, and I’m totally an absolute newbie to all this. The DVD that came with this got me started with the single stitching with the dial on the top right and I tried to reverse (as instructed by the DVD) and the reverse lever wouldn’t move. So I tried just using a regular stitch, and the reverse lever worked. Does this mean the reverse lever doesn’t work on single stitch setting?

Very helpful thank you

I bought a brand new janome 740dc machine it works great

Thank you for this video. Couldn’t figure it out until I watched your video. Thank you !

very helpful , thank u !

I have a threader on my Brother machine. Tried to used it when I first got my machine. It didn't catch. So, I just thread the regular way. I guess I can try again.

Thank you SO MUCH for explaining the width and length. What I don't understand, so I can play around, is how to choose a "purple" stitch; the ones next to SS. I have this very machine. Can you tell me? AMAZING video. The only one I could find like this.

Well done 👍🏻

Hello new subscriber here. Trying to learn how to sew more clothes for my kids :). Excited t learn!

Most helpful video ive seen so far

spot-on.

Thank you!

Hi I just bought this sewing machine. This is my first time ever sewing. This tutorial helped alot by showing me how to set it up and how to do the stitches. Will be following more videos. Thank you for this. (:

Thanks for helping me get over my fear of pulling my machine out of the box! :)

Hi, Does anyone know if this machine has a presser foot pressure/tension knob or dial to adjust it?

Great video straight forward

Hey I hope all is well. I just had a question. I'm trying to sew belt loops and want to stitch at the very edge of the piece of clothing. Do you think that's possible with this machine? It looks like those two tracks under the needle that moves the clothing are too wide unless I can just lay the piece under one of the tracks and it will still move properly. Thanks!

my mom found this machine on facebook market for $50, and thank you for helping me get introduced to a sewing machine. i dont know the ss on the wheel tho. i dont have the manual so, wish me luck

very useful thanks!

I think it would be good to remake this video because you are off camera during winding the bobbin segment. Also, very blurred at key points. I did love the part on the automatic threader. FYI it wasn't working for me - I finally figured out the thread wasn't thin enough to go through the needle. What needle would you use for thicker threads? When I changed to thin thread, it worked great.

Hello, thank you for the video. How I can adjust the speed of the sewing machine? is going to fast for me

I bought mine through eBay by a big mistake. I think it is as a returned unit. Thanks for your video I'm going to try again with my tension setting between 4 and 5 and do a simple straight pattern.

Thank you so much!

this video was so helpful! i was just wondering what thread do you recommend for this machine? i'm a beginner and i have no idea what's a good brand.

Great video

Thank you for a complete “how to start”! I bought this machine and have been intimidated to start!

Thanks 😍

Very helpful🙏🏻

Thank you!!!

How do you thread the upper auto threadder ? I can't see the needle hole ; so I'm hoping this does it for me . Or can it be removed ?

Nice Video and I just noticed it was posted on my birthday lol

Gee wayyyyy back in 1974 I got a sewing machine for my graduation. It's what I wanted. At that time it cost about $350.00. It didn't have half these stitches on it. I still have it. Only it's too heavy for me to lift. So I'm looking for a lighter weight one to use.

Thank you for the video. As usual, you have on a cute top,what pattern is this one?

Thanks! You have had this machine for over a year - do you use it a lot, and is it reliable? Would you recommend it?

😂 The title is perfect. That's me!😂

just got this today, wish me luck

Hi! Could you make a video on overlock stitch with this machine?

I haven't used a sewing machine since high school. Why do you need both a spool of thread up top and a bobbin full of thread underneath? Trying to learn and understand how this works.

The fabric you used to show us was the same fabric as your dress!

its very wired, my machine is same as video's but the patter is inversed, for example i want to have zigzag line but i only have that kind of line on the bottom side, any one have the same situation? btw vey nice video thanks a lot!

Please help, I got this exact machine today but I can't get the needle to go up and down. The bobbin holder moves around but the needle doesn't. Can you think of a reason why it wouldn't go up and down

I have used a Bernina for years and just got this machine used. I am brand new to Brother and so excited to start using. I'm confused about the SS stitches. Once I turn to SS on the stitch length dial, how do I then choose my stitch length. I'm sure it's probably a simple answer, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I just plug my machine into the wall right no extra cords can be used ?

What would be the most common or default tension for regular cotton fabric?

What will be the numbers we should put for a straight normal stitch? Waiting for your response.Thanks.

is this mechine sturdy enough for making gowns?

When I pull the thread that is sticking out it all comes undone. How to stop this?

Great Video - Thanks! First time sewer here. I found the bobbin kept getting tangled up every 3-4 uses with the needle actually snapping one time, and the top needle frequently lost the thread . I was doing a lot forward and backward sewing. Would that contribute to the problems above or maybe I got a dud GX-73 or maybe it's just me not knowing what I'm doing?

How do I use number 29 stitch pattern?

I cant seem to reverse stitch to lock my stitch when I press that button, am I suppose to hold it down while im doing it?

What on earth is the point of a bobbin?? Didn’t she cut the thread??

How do you get to the purple numbers?

how do i use stitches 20-37?

Bobbin thread is tangled up at back of fabric

On my GX37 how I can use all stitches under ss Thanks

How to adjust to the SS mode?

How do I put the foot up???
