Brother Domestic Sewing Machine Tutorial

[@ggolds5]

I never thought as a man I would be sewing. My fiancé works, cleans, cooks, irons, takes good care of me and is 20 years younger. I'm really not bragging. She's just amazing. My point: Although many of our roles are traditional we broke the mold in the sewing area. I like machines and I like crafts. When I was 10 I learned how to knit with my grandma. I loved watching her and one day she taught me how to make baskets from yarn and hemp. We have a lot of things around the house that needed mending so I decided to buy this Brother machine and try to fix some things that need sewing. My mom threw out our 100 year old Singer many years ago, otherwise I would be using that. I'm pretty mechanical but after reading the manual I was totally stumped on how to use it. I bought this 2600i because it was so inexpensive and appears to be able to do a lot more then I'll ever need it for. It's a fun little machine. This video was EXTREMELY helpful and I think I can finally use it tonight and start sewing. Thank you!.

[@kassie2k4]

What a lovely voice and gentle accent on the narrator, so pleasing.

[@ray_c_yuen]

today, they would just say 'AI' artificial intelligence voice.

[@AmiDee_]

Despite the robotic voice over, this is a very direct and helpful tutorial on the basic use of the machine.

[@tictock700]

Forget about everything else, in the end this video saved my life I was so confused before I found this video and now everything is so simple!!

[@Calgary24682468]

Very good intro. I definitely rather watch the video than reading the manual. Appreciate it. Thank you.

[@mastinomama8939]

Thanks so much for loading this up. Very instructional and soooooo helpful for an absolute beginner! Can't understand why so many people complain about the voice. There are many narrators with much worse speaking voices! She is clear and inexactly the right tempo. And BTW..... this is a free and very good tutorial. How about a bit of gratefulness?

[@charlottedeshotels2788]

It sure helped me. The instruction manual left off a vital step, and the video included it!

[@TheFergious]

YAY! I opened the box with my new Brother sewing machine and my heart sank. I have a Mac and can't play DVDs so thank goodness for this youtube video. Now I can start using my machine! PS It works just as well as a visual aid memoire, so you can ignore the sound track if it impedes your understanding ;)

[@CaressLorthaya]

Some of these comments smh....ppl are so weird on KZbin ugh. Anyway this has been the MOST helpful video I've found!!!!!

[@halaluja101]

My new machine (HE120) is still in the box. Because I tried to handled it like my old machine and failed. Your video has incouraged me to take it out and try it again. Thank you for posting this.

[@StepIntoGodsLight]

this has saved me because even though this video is old, it has shown me how to properly use my Brother machine, and with examples too 😃

[@IXXIGABARI]

Have you states using yours?

[@mariclark9059]

I can't say thank you enough the voise didint bother me at all!!!! This video helped me so much!

[@SLRist]

I absolutely *love* the muzak on this video. Takes me back to when I used to play the original Sims a decade ago.

[@tarataoum766]

i just bought a brothers sewing machine and I lost the manual sooo glad I found this video

[@Alexis-ge5re]

same

[@FR3IH3IT25]

I have a brothers machine that I never use because I don't know how to use it. I'm gonna give this tutorial a try. Thank you!

[@faithlilis]

This is my 1st sewing machine and glad it came with this dvd. So far for me as a beginner i am happy with this machine overall

[@jasolo1000]

Very useful information, I was having trouble with my brother sewing machine. After watching the video, I was able to sort it out. Thanks

[@TheCristinebaby]

I like the narators calm and easy to understand voice.. She did verry clear and clean tutorial. I want to get brother than singer After watching this .. :) thank you for uploading.

[@Ksatrian0243]

me too

[@Ksatrian0243]

I agree

[@Jennrrrs]

wow that was very informative! I haven't received my machine yet but I am much more confident about using it now. thank you!

[@mmmoor8]

Many thanks for posting this video. When I must do something with my hands, I really need to see it being done. The instruction manual that came with my machine is very good. I am glad to have been able to see what I couldn't understand just from reading. Thank you!!!

[@doloresgarcia3706]

I u 8j

[@GoddessProductions]

this is the ACTUAL dvd tutorial from Brother that comes with the machine! I just watched it lol... then went searching for more info and found this... at least it's very informative regardless of the "voice"

[@485451564654]

i love that everyone is complaining about the cheesy music and annoying voice as if the uploader had anything to do with it...its clearly a dvd and most instructional ones are obnoxious....regardless very helpful for those machines that do not come with a dvd like mine

[@shadeylady8993]

thanks for the video. I'm so lost when it comes to sewing machines.....and sewing

[@robynconnor1370]

thank you so much for posting this, very helpful and easy to find what I was looking for through out as I just needing help with button holes! Very much appreciate the effort that went into making this!

[@nosillakm]

This machine is supposed to be an entry level machine. This video (as well as the printed manual that came with the machine) are very good at explaining how to thread the thing and get started but that's pretty much where it ends. I have been sewing for over 30 years on a VERY basic Singer machine and decided to get one with some built-in stitch functions. Threading the bobbin and the upper thread was the easy part. My question is this: My machine has 27 built-in stitch functions. The dial is numbered 1-14 on the outer ring of the dial and 15-27 on the inner ring of the dial. I can change the dial to any stitch numbered 1-7 and all works fine but I have no idea how to use numbers 15-27. And I cannot find any clear description on how to use them. I now suspect that it has something to do with the needle position a.k.a. stitch length but I really don't know. In my world, I would call this less than straight forward for an "entry level" user. Can anyone help? PS - I agree that the music and the voice on this tutorial is a bit hard on the nerves.

[@mexicansoutherngirl]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am now realizing I've been doing some stuff wrong.

[@callycatus]

Thankyou so much for this..all machines differ slightly so even as a trained machinist it was helpful...but it must be difficult for first time sewer's...i would advise them to have a try with a friend machine of any make to get the gist of sewing machines..if they still find it difficult.. or just take it one step at a time... before learning the rest

[@marleybu7984]

Thanks for a very informative video. I'm new to sewing and I learned loads! 😀

[@ReligiousZombie]

In her previous job, the narrator read fairy tales to kindergarteners.

[@9thd4z]

Thanks & keep these Videos coming, APPRECIATE!!!

[@shelbyperkinson2533]

it really helped me with my sowing machine thanks for every thing, but can you do more videos on how to sow something like a bag

[@SewVacuumIdahoFalls]

Actually a very helpful video showing you how to get he best use out of your Brother sewing machine

[@dimitria1273]

love this video! obviously i found it very helpful and blonde-friendly! oh and don't forget to make sure the ac power button is turned "OFFFFF!"

[@TonOfLau]

This video was very informative and I felt like I was watching sailor moon with some transformation music in the background haaha

[@saringongin]

hahahaha I know right!!!

[@TheLeiaOrgana]

I thought the exact same thing, then I saw your comment and the reply and felt relieved that I wasn't the only one XD Haha

[@martaosiecka2751]

[@nancyfeldman8360]

thank you! better than my lesson I paid for.

[@caterina._.tubiii]

The voice it's funny and the video it's perfectly useful!!!! Ty ty tyyy❤️😄👍🏻🌈

[@charleswidjaja3568]

I can't stop LOLing watching this video... the background music & speaker looks like in the 90's... also almost the same annoying music found in PS game "Fishing Bash" or "Harvest Moon" during my childhood

[@alaizabelcray9744]

Did Chii from Chobits narrate this video?

[@BestGuideable]

Thanks for the video. Well it helped me in some way to understand my sewing machines.

[@creativehearts1]

The wire thread guide has come off and unable to fix back on above the needle? Have I broken it as there does not seem to be a place to secure it back on. The machine is a Brother XL 5021. Thank you

[@acey850]

thanks for this. I'm excited to have my own machine soon.

[@SolarVilla]

I'Ve bought a used Brother XL-5130 (discontinued), the Buttonhole lever part is missing, where can I order the part to repair it? Any advice is appreciated

[@sarinafatma9146]

AaP please singer elctronic machine k parts set use khol k btaye

[@simanisha2532]

Hi. I have a brother domestic sewing machine, I want to sew some of my project where vinyl/leather is used, what can you recommend for me to do so that i can sew some vinyl project. Please I need your or someone please.

[@yayalover123]

I cant do 6:52 to 7:08. I keep doing it but its not working for me. Ugh! Its so fustrating because, I just got this sewing machine today and I want to start sewing already!

[@mexicansoutherngirl]

I hear ya. I must be doing something wrong because my thread keeps coming undone....

[@mexicansoutherngirl]

Take the time to learn your machine. It took me a day to learn the machine and then to start sewing.

[@LetxiaC]

Soooo helpful, thank you!!! :D finally was able to stitch something, you are amazing lol

[@monaliza4536]

If the needle was broken, can i use any needle or it needs special one. Please reply

[@gallifreyanrefugee7982]

Thinking about getting a brother sewing machine. If I sew anything its by hand only. I want to make cute things easier. However I would think it would be easier to just hand sew the buttons on.

[@OhLiverpoolLou]

The button I want to use is too big for the foot! Any ideas on how I can work around this? Also, this lady's voice and the music?! Really, Brother? Great video but I am amazed that the audio was left in this freaky state!

[@spermdonar]

+Louise Sinclair-Jones I usually sew buttons on by hand anyhow,so go with a hand job this time

[@Hugglechi]

I have the JX2517 yet it doesn't have the smaller dial to set to SS. Is that fine?

[@marriedmommacallcenterlife8534]

I did a search for Brother 885-V67 and this is what came up. This is NOT for the 885-V67 aka XR1335. Right away the cord looks different and the spool pin level is shown as perpendicular which it is not on the 885-V67 aka XR1335. I'm not saying that this video won't help, it is very similar as the DVD that came with my machine but it is not for specifically for the 885-V67 aka XR1335.

[@iblubplawv]

About sawing a button, is there a different type of darning plate for different Machine ? I have a Brother CS-6000i

[@karmachick2656]

Some machines have special button stitches but several online sellers offer various universal darning plates for freestyle sewing to suit a variety of machines including your Brother CS-6000i. Maybe you already found this out from searching online. Hope this helps.

[@navifaiz]

hi..autualy when i stich my thread had a long gap..what should i change

[@lolazimmerman9779]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@davidhancock6110]

I'm stuck on the SS (straight stitch), but my model does have an 'SS' sign on the dial?!

[@lauujerez6394]

hola tengo 934 d brother necesito instrucciones, gracias

[@CleverEwe]

Thank you for this informative video.

[@bpaulsen6701]

I'm having a HORRIBLE time controlling the speed of my XL2600i. Maybe it's because I've been using a 45 year old Necci for 30 years, but practicing doesn't seem to help at all...I've tried stitch guides...everything. It's just too fast to even stitch in a straight line, rendering it completely unusable at this point. Any suggestions you can offer would be great. Thanks! :)

[@piggywinks204]

Use your big toe to press down on the foot pedal that's how I get the machine to go slow

[@jaimeekhan9375]

great!!thank you!!I didn't mind the background music at all

[@pjlewisful]

Very helpful and easy to understand, but I have to agree that that little voice was weird.

[@NastassjaFilipowna]

can you please tell me what sewing machine do you use?

[@meganrodriguez9210]

Has anyone else had the issue where the needle keeps hitting the presser foot?

[@rtyuioalimn284]

Hi help me plz my brother machine motor is not work circle show me pepair

[@siesiechampion]

Only mature people will get past the music and her voice... JS

[@chicfrancisco6845]

Thank you for this video tutorial. God bless :-)

[@zahidiqbalzahidiqbal9433]

I am baying da brother sewing machion 2120 plz preview this machion in urdu

[@ceebz13]

The thread in my machine keeps snapping. I've tried new thread and I still snaps. I lowered the tension and the bobbin kept tangling under the top stitch. O

[@maviskwoodathome]

I still haven't heard about a quarter inch presser foot for quilting. I wasted a lot of time watching what I didn't need to know. I want to know where you get a quarter inch foot.

[@rehenaaminforsha5588]

What model is this machine please?

[@maviskwoodathome]

The music I could hardly hear, but the lady's voice really irked me. I came to this site to find out about different presser feet. Some of my students have Brother sewing machines and are using a very wide presser foot. It's almost impossible to get a quarter inch seam for quilting with that presser foot. What else is available? I didn't find anything on the video about them.

[@maryperkins1907]

Like the two machines in this video my "Brother CP 7500" uses "Snap On" style feet. I use the "Brother SA185 1/4 Inch Piecing Foot with Edge Guide" For Brother machines that use a high shank foot there is the "1/4in. High-shank Foot with Edge Guide P60611".

[@maviskwoodathome]

Mary Perkins I'm sorry, now I found the answer to my question. I think you have to buy the 1/4 inch foot separately. Since I think most of the machines sold in this country and maybe in the world are used for quilting at this time, why don't the machines come with one? I also like the Singer foot that has an eighth inch leg on the basic foot.

[@AceGreene]

Exactly which Disney princess is narrating this? Or is it Ariana Grande's character in Sam and Cat? (I know this because I have a 7-year-old daughter!!!!) Lol.

[@rosemarymcbride1583]

Really? I would rather slit my wrists than listen to this. You need to turn the sound completely OFF!

[@michellemitzel1140]

I thought the same thing! I keep expecting birds to fly through the window and do the sewing for her.

[@dimitria1273]

+Rosemary McBride Make sure to that your speakers AC power button is turned OFF!

[@SusieQuhNOT]

Omgosh! I KNOW! Right?! 😂😂😂

[@thebestgirlsever100]

I agree with you about the elevator music, but c'mon, you don't know what race the lady was..

I'm going to have to start reading manuals when I buy things. I didnt know this machine had a needle threader. I didnt know what that thing was for...smdh!

[@unuo_cz]

skvělé šicí stroje :)

[@kpoulos42]

The video is helpful, but the music is driving me nuts.

[@thrillionairess]

I wasted a lot of time waiting for an elaboration on how to put in the pressure foot after I have removed it. I am having problems with it right now. The needle will hit the plate if I do nothing. So my project is on stand still again. It has been on stand still because I kept breaking needles because I have very little experience with knit fabric and needed someone to tell me to buy different needles. Now the needle will break because of what I said. I have nobody to show me.
