Brother LX3817 Sewing Machine- How to Fill and Load the Bobbin

[@jorgecastellanos4310]

I don't comment much, but you are a lifesaver. I was about to return the machine, now I can sew masks for my family. Thank you.

[@coolcalmapril6850]

Your welcome! What materials are you using for the mask? Thinking about a few for my family too.

[@jorgecastellanos4310]

@@coolcalmapril6850 All cotton, heavy canvas for the outside, soft cotton sheet for the inside. All prewashed. HEPA vacuum bag cut to fit inside the two layers. God speed and blessings.

[@deistite1]

Jorge Castellanos the vacuum bags are made with small fiberglass particles that can damage the lungs so you don't want to use that (I had to cancel my amazon order after finding this out). Use air filters instead. 1500 or 2200 Filtrete. There's a video that shows how to get the filter out. You'll get a ton of filters out of it!

[@sammyreina1645]

I also have to sew masks for my family. I feel you

[@metalstock99]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO 🫶 More helpful than the actual Brother video.

[@korneliahartwig5542]

Thank you, very good instructions. I've been a lifelong seamstress, but I never had a machine where the bobbin lay flat. Again, great job.

[@TanyaJohnson-op7np]

Thank You so much. I always forget and I love coming back here. I never comment. But you definitely deserve to know how helpful this video is. Thanks Again.

[@ShaylahMonet]

Girl thank you!! I was following the steps in the book and wasn’t successful but you made it a lot easier for me to follow!

[@coolcalmapril6850]

You're welcome! Glad the video was helpful to you.

[@FoodNerds]

The book is bad. There’s a CD but I don’t have a CD player.

[@Hen685]

This was by far the most detailed , and informative way to make and load a bobbin for a beginner that just started 20 minutes ago! 😂 thank you ❤

[@shirleyamot89]

It has taken me 4 hours to try to get my machine's bobbin correct and I know how to sew! This is a new machine and nothing helped until this. So appreciated

[@jadeevink5768]

Thank you so much!! I go brain dead reading/listening to instructions but this was extremely helpful and made the process so easy!!

[@jessicaprosser6332]

I was rusty on using my brother sewing machine and this video brought me right up to speed! I also learned some new things 😅😁 thanks for posting this video!!!

[@beautythebum980]

Just know that 4yrs later, you’re still saving lives 😮‍💨🤞🏿🤲🏿

Come back to this vid every time I gotta refill it’s a classic thanks

[@catlover2223]

Glad you’re cool and calm April! You definitely calmed me down!

[@cynf4666]

Thank you so much!! Every other video on KZbin I couldn’t understand they were moving so quickly. Yours was very easy to understand !

[@mandycarter7094]

Hello, I am a granny ''new bee''...first time using a machine. My LX3817 was delivered today and I wasn't sure how the bobbin was to be inserted properly. The manual didn't help at all and the DVD won't play in my outdated laptop. Thank you so much for this video. I will come back to it whenever I am unsure of installation. I, know eventually things will begin to flow...once I become used to utilizing my machine. New subscriber, God bless you.

[@roseelf35]

Literally, the most in-depth tutorial I have found! Saved me literally hours

[@madsgamelin1621]

I’m 14 and trying to learn how to sew and you just saved my life thank you so much

[@glynnisthatch6234]

April you are so cool! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I haven't sewn for over 30 years, and had forgotten the basics of threading the sewing machine & the bobbin.

[@coolcalmapril6850]

You're welcome!

[@dm4938]

Thank u April for your video! So easy to follow for a beginner like me. Amazing! You’re a lifesaver 😅

[@sandi9659]

I prayed God would help me find someone who was easy to understand & explain. I am 75, have arthritis & neuropathy in my hands, & have had a stroke, which slows my thinking down. I haven't sewed in years. I had a seamstress friend, & when I had to move, my dtr did my mending. She doesn't anymore. BUT!!! God answered my prayer & gave me you!! So calm. So patient. Bless you!

[@miaballarina]

This is my first experience with sewing and if it wasn't for this video I would probably be returning the machine in the next days. Thank you so much for explaining to me exactly what to do!

[@madisonzamora4125]

It’s my very first time using a sewing machine and this video helped me so much!!

[@kimwilson9638]

Loved your tutorial. Your delivery is very informative and not full of a lot of "fluff". A bottom line, chill kind of lady. Just what is needed by this "newbie" who hasn't touched a sewing machine in 50 years. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@jakestyles002]

Excellent video, very clear and concise, with close ups of the important steps. Thank you.

[@kaylabright3617]

Thank you so much!! I was trying to follow the instructional DVD that came with my Brother machine and it was so confusing. They should include your KZbin video with every machine. I appreciate you more than you know! 🙌🏾

[@richardmendoza6895]

This tutorial was EXTREMELY HELPFUL especially with personal touches like "shape like the letter P" really made it easy to visualize what it should look like! Thank you!!!

[@gardenwonder7977]

LIFE SAVER. I could not find any up close videos and this one is so great. Thank you.

Your welcome!

[@traceyhoover]

I'm not even two minutes in but I have to comment just to say I freaking love you, lady. You're a Rockstar when it comes to composure behind that camera. I hope sincerely you're still making videos. I needed this. You're so kind about teaching and making sure to be slow, steady, and clear. It's great. Are you a teacher? You absolutely live up to your handle. Cool, calm April. Thanks so much for this.

[@scotcrego]

Thanks I needed to sew my wife's shorts and my thread broke and I couldn't for the life of me remember how to thread it. Your a life saver!

[@sheilahowerter9925]

Thank you for creating and sharing this video! I am a hands on/visual learner and this was so helpful! I received my first sewing machine/LX3817 for Christmas (2020) and it has been sitting in the box for 2 months. I had a friend show me how to sew some simple pillows on her machine before Christmas. I just drug my new sewing machine from the spare room and I am going to attempt to make some curtains for the windows on our front and back door this week. Hopefully you have some tutorials on how to make simple pocket rod curtains. I will definitely be looking for some of your other sewing tutorials! Thanks again!

[@rosemarywaddell4120]

Thank you. You showed me what I was doing wrong when I put in a new bobbin. Now I have to figure out the 1/4" seam. I may holler at you for more help. Again Thank you.

The absolute best memories I had with my mother was when she would sew the most beautiful outfits for me. I would buy an outfits from the mall and she would recreate it to a much higher quality and then I would get my money back. I wish I had asked her to teacher me, but I was only her mannequin😂 I bought a sewing machine around 1992-93 and the front-loading bobbin kept jamming up. I only made a vest and then a co-worker asked if she could borrow it, and I never saw my machine again. Now 30 years later I'm about to buy this machine from Walmart for only just $88.
