First Steps: Threading Your Sewing Machine

[@janicehill1689]

Dude FYI: next time there is a "tricky part" we should slow it down and zoom in.

[@eellss7253]

exactly. some closeups would have been nice.

[@randyconn1183]

Great free video tutorial! Thanks!

[@deescarboroughcorton8608]

My 7th grade Home Ec teacher, Mrs. Darling, instilled a sense of fear and failure in me regarding sewing. At 51 I am finally ready to learn to sew and I LOVE the fact that your site shares the name but has already helped me to believe that I can make friends with my sewing machine and experience success with needles and threads. Thank you!

Very true

[@yvettemabins9027]

I've never sewn before ...let alone threaded a sewing machine. This tutorial was perfect and very easy to follow! Thanks for making it simple and easy!

Thank you so much for this... I am helping my terminally-ill mother thread a sewing machine tomorrow to teach some neighborhood kids how to sew. You saved the day; it's been 16 years since my home economics classes.

[@nyliramfashion8366]

Jason Featheringham Prayers for your mom man, take care of her

[@JawsoneJason]

Nyliram Fashion Thank you. She passed away just a few days later. She was never strong enough to get to sewing again, but I'm still glad I learned just in case.

[@nyliramfashion8366]

Sorry to hear that man, my mom passed in 2004 so I know exactly how you feel, its something you never get over, you just get use to it.

[@guxccifruitsnx]

This video helps me out so much. I can finally get back to my passion. My uncle bought me a machine for my 16th birthday but nobody ever taught me how to thread it and so I looked on youtube today and i found this video and I figured it out in 20 minutes!!! THANK YOU

[@Smokethemonsterout]

You went too fast you didn't zoom in enough so I could actually see, you didn't explain enough. This wasn't helpful for a true beginner.

[@user-sj9ow7qr5q]

For me this was my first time ever touching a sewing machine and I found it very helpful.

[@shine2762]

Deanah Anderson Same with me I had never used a sewing machine and I found it very helpful.

[@sunnyday7699]

Exactly because when I press the gas it moves the needle.. What do I do to even get the thread moving? Is there a bobbing filling option I need to choose?

[@rlancin]

Not every step was explained. Learned some things but overall not useful

[@ciannariley9823]

@@rlancin kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZLVYWNmfdN2h7M try this vid

[@psdennis25]

I played the video like 2 billion times but I finally got my machine threaded. Thank you!

[@amandarobinson4793]

Thank you for this. When I bought my machine after never sewed before it was pretty daunting , it has helped a lot. I don' t understand why people need to be rude. If you watch the video closely , it's actually basic common sense. Try watching the video once or twice then go through the threading process step by step, whilst pausing at each step. So thank you again for showing this.

[@matthewwilhelm1131]

WHERE DO YOU THREAD THE THREAD THROUGH THE NEEDLE YOU BLOCKED IT WITH YOUR HAND C'MON

[@bahbah3762]

I KNOW RIGHT???!!

[@roguearrowcosplay6386]

if you look closely at the needle. there a thread hole just at the tip.

[@annedennett7974]

Is she threading the needle left to right or right to left?

[@juliegolding3563]

Lol

[@nipshardaf]

It doesnt matter.

[@cindywalker63]

Your video has been the Only one that has helped to see the light! Thank You!

[@catarinaclarkson1924]

It took me 2 videos plus trying to remember memories of being explained all of this in person over 10 years ago to finally do it right! This video helped a lot! Thank you!!!

[@ArjanaeOrianwo98]

At first i was struggling with the bottom part because i don't have the same model, but i finally got it some kind of way. Thanks for helping throughout the entire video. I feel soooo accomplished !! :) :) :)

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

I am so happy you put this up I need a little refresher as I haven't sewed in awhile.

[@SurrealSteph1]

Me and my sister sort of understood the instructions that came with our Singer. We both hadn't touched a sewing machine since high school/4 years ago. When I finally suggested we pull up a video, we went to this one first and got it in a snap! Thanks for the vid. (:

[@lizlavender3931]

I think I'm more confused after watching this.

[@matthewwilhelm1131]

ikr

[@DanDan-bn5si]

Hey liz lavender if your stuck why don’t you go to the library and go to the arts and craft books and you’ll find plenty of books about sewing to help you

[@noenaefrandall1794]

I know me too 😓

[@hanineoub5467]

Thank you so so much. Very clear.helped me a lot. It's been 1 week I keep staring to the machine afraid to start using because I don't know how to thread..now I can finally make a good use of my husband gift. You are amazing thank you

[@DeltaAsherHill]

every video looks like its missing a HUGE step

[@mizz_jenks]

Thank you so so much for this tutorial!! I bought my sewing machine months ago and could not figure out how to thread it. I was able to thread it in minutes while watching your video!!!

[@seashellmac1968]

I have watched many videos on how to do this, as i'm a beginner, and yours is the absolute best! Thanks so much for doing this.

[@hollymarieimage]

I have had a sewing machine brought for me and I could t get my bobbin to wind on properly. After watching other videos and getting frustrated, I came across yours and I instantly was able to thread my machine! Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial!

[@gvndual84]

I would like to suggest deleting this video and doing it again. Every time I needed to see something specific, the camera-person cut away to a full shot of her instead of keeping it zoomed in (like putting the bobbin into its holder-thingy). I'm a 50-year old male trying to teach my 8 and 9 year old daughters how to sew, and the last time I did any sewing was in the 7th grade. Basic camera-work for an instructional video gang.

[@terryteed1903]

There may be a specific tutorial for that elsewhere. I thought it was quite a good video. I wasn't bamboozled by it and it's made me a bit more confident with the first bit. I can spend more time on the finniky bit now.

[@unclearnuclear]

I agree. Most of the video, I thought "WHAT is the camera man doing?" the zoomed out shot doesn't even have her centered. If she were any lower, her hands and the machine would be off the screen. Additionally, the last step where she wraps the thread around something one final time before putting it through the eye of the needle, we have no way of telling which part she wrapped the thread around. There are several intricate pieces in that space and the camera is way too far for us to tell what is going on. I don't think it's a bad video by any means. I can get by. But as a complete beginner, more detail and specificity would have been appreciated there! Thank you anyway for the video.

[@Viendork]

This was one of the most helpful, simple tutorials for this. Thank you so much, you beautiful goddess you!

[@andreekelly632]

oh my goodness. Thank you for your awesome video. I just got a new sewing machine from my sister. Haven't sewn since high school so now I'm going to do my own alterations. Thanks again you're the best.

[@davidmarks509]

The bobbin in a tricky beast. I hope to tame it soon I have sewing home work to finish by Thursday. Thanks for the video

[@MorticiasTwin07]

As a sewing machine novice myself only purchased my machine last Tuesday threading the machine and bobbin takes just a bit of practice!

[@SSHeart82]

why when it's time to show the how the spool goes in the bobbin does the camera zoom out? that's a critical part that I can't figure out or see in the freaking video.

[@monicatoler1503]

For the new sewer...This was very helpful...Yes, you may have to stop the video to check yourself, but If you have your manual open to what you are trying to do and you follow the video, you will find this VERY helpful. I had to make an adjustment to a Halloween costume within hours of the party and this video saved me precious time...Thank you!!!

[@Tatkitten]

Oh my... You have no idea how much your tutorial just saved my sewing Mahoney a trip out the window. The bobin thread has always been a problem on mine and it's the check kind where the instructions are useless. Thank you

[@athenalynn8190]

I feel like a "noob". Five years ago, I took a Sewing Class & Fashion Designing Class. I had so much fun and I loved it. Unfortunately my sewing machine broke and I couldn't afford to replace it. I got one this Christmas (five years later) and I can't remember how to do anything but hand sewing :( I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I am doing something wrong! Thank you for the video, I am going to keep practicing :l

[@prettycool4real]

Such a helpful video!! I've never got any more perfect advice than this! Ps: I'm not an early beginner nor am i a professional tailor...... just knw the parts of d sewing machine especially the parts where the thread goes

[@carline2carline]

yay thank God for this channel, I can learn how to sew on my machine

[@sanganpatil2731]

Its really a wonderful video for a beginner. I really liked it.

[@heidiaseek8069]

I don't know how other people are saying they couldn't see what was going on! the only thing I could see was you threading the needle, but anyone knows how to thread a simple needle!! It helped me a bunch. I have been needing this video!!

Thank you for a clear and easy description.

[@thatvintagechick2923]

Thank you I just got a singer for Christmas and this really helped me.

[@tiahsays]

Thank God for this video!!! I was going insane trying to read my owner's manual which only confused me further. This made it so much simpler (though there is nothing simple about what you actually have to do! lol)

[@sophiapartylikeahenderson9843]

omg this video really helped . u wer the best at explaining and dont listen to the negative comments. all other videos wer hard to listen to and understand but urs was amazing so thank u so much

[@elysiab2453]

thanks so much...i had been using the reverse function to thread the bobbin...it was always hit or miss...so at your word I used the handwheel and it came right up...this was an area I struggled with for the past 2 months (new sewer) Thanks again! E.

this video was so much simpler than others. thank you

[@65jonnec]

Very well explained, managed to follow instructions and successfully threaded my bobbin 😀

[@joannet123]

Thanks for saying and showing what you do with the thread after the threading the bobbin i.e.. how to catch it with the needle. Others sewers on here leave the step out, or don't say what they are doing while they use white thread that cannot be seen. Thanks again!

[@dididu1021]

Thank you, thank you, thank youuu so much! I was literally losing my mind trying to decipher the instructions on the stupid manual, this was so easy to understand, thank you for keeping it so simple. :D

[@trogdoress]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video with such easy to follow steps! Really helped me get going on my project :)

[@STILLDecibel]

Thanks a lot, this video for novice like me it is lifesaver. I gotta a question, if you have a self thread machine but somehow you cannot get to thread the needle., i tried like a week, i decided i wanna do it manually. so do i just put the thread trough the hole from the front? Thanks a lot. I bought a sewing machine cuz i want to learn sewing but it won't thread , maybe im duing something wrong. no idea i followed the instruction , watched even a demonstration on my machine, still nothing and i am frustrated, i never done this before i don't wanna damage the sewing part, but i really wanna start sewing.Thank you.

[@evelyncabrera5747]

How to thread your machine and yet you literally block when you do it 😂 very helpful

This was a great video. Great vocabulary used, good quality of the image and clear instructions. Fantastic Job!!

[@sergeylukin24]

Thanks! The instructional DVD that came with the Singer completely glossed over these details. It was like watching the "Plumbus: How They Do It" clip from the Rick and Morty show.

Good lord threading a machine is difficult. Lord help!

[@ColinLeeP]

every machine is so different, don't feel bad!

[@STILLDecibel]

Tell me about it/ I just bought a sewing machine for the first time. Totally novice at mechanical sewing, i need to learn all the parts and the threading seems so difficult i have been looking at the machine not having the gut to touch it Lol Now i found this video and she explains it so easy, im glad i found it.

[@stargazer9798]

angela westbrooks not if ur younger I'm 13

[@yonatanmorantikshoret1890]

Winding a bobbin and threading the machine is actually pretty simple, once you get the hang of it. But I have to say that I used to get frustrated sometimes with that bobbin casing. So now Singer, Janome, et al. make sewing machines with *drop-in* bobbins. It's so simple! Is there some advantage I've never been able to detect to having a machine where you have to deal with the bobbin case like this?

[@annogbe7986]

Really helpful. Thanks

[@leonhoward7967]

I have a singer Rumina 3380 so would the method be the same as your demonstration?

[@tatiana-mm1by]

i have a problem with my sewing machine i don't know if it's my machine or the thread,my thread is keep on breaking everytime i sew.though it is properly place on my machine..can you give me some advice?thanks.more power to you

[@anafonseca8748]

Do you put the thread thread the hole in the eye?

[@christinaw.4626]

Appreciate your video and taking time to explain for "beginners", however, I fully agree with some of the comments in that zoom feature would have been most helpful!

[@bpalmento3468]

The spool part.. I noticed from another video that it has that top thing to hold in the spool. Does it matter which way is the top thing goes in?

[@jtmjtm2001]

I finally concord the "scary sewing machine". Thank you!
