Heavy-Duty Sewing on a Home Machine with Ellie Lum

[@michellehill6166]

I am sooooo mad I didn’t see this when it was live. I’m seeing it two years later. But it was fabulous. I learned so much. I have a Singer HD 6600C. My last few projects were a thick wool poncho/shacket and a leather and jean skirt. I experienced pretty much everything she said. I used a walking foot and that made it better. But next time I’ll lengthen the stitch. And I’ll sure to turn the dial towards me. 😊😊😊. I learned so much.

This was an OUTSTANDING class. I have watched all of Ellie's classes multiple times, but this one took it to another level! Thank you Ellie for being here for us.

Only been sewing for a little while. Just got comfortable and more confident trying the heavy material and thread I had been hoping to use. Was struggling with tension and your video helped a lot. I just learned a bit more from trial and error and talking to the ladies at the shop where I got my machine. Your lesson was kind of the right video covering the exact topics at the right time and really helped all the information click and make sense. Great demonstration and info about how to handle the machine and moving my confidence closer to the limits of what the machine can do.

Thanks for your kind words. It means a lot to me that my info was helpful. I'm glad it gave you some lightbulb💡 moments!

I’m only 15 minutes in to this video and I already wish I could attend an in person class with you! I would love to soak up some of that knowledge! Thanks for this!

[@knl368]

thanks so much! I've been sewing for years, but never had the mystery of the loops finding each other explained! Aha!!

[@brendaeves3236]

SUPER instructive video. I’m quite a new sewer and this has been a wonderful video to have come across better late than never, right?! Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you

[@KlumHouseBags]

Glad it was helpful!

[@teresamassey2162]

I just found you! Thank you so much for this education! Been sewing for years and some of the information just falls in place and make sense of troubleshooting over the years!!

[@KlumHouseBags]

You are so welcome!

[@corgikat21]

I can’t even describe my joy while watching this class. So much fantastic information! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. It is truly appreciated.

[@manaliasaucedo5247]

[@faylees]

I’m watching from Lancaster England Uk I love this channel xx

[@jackieremis6533]

WOW! You are absolutely lovely. Your teaching style and info is so very helpful. PLEASE do more of these type of videos.

[@rotto792]

I have a Singer HD 4423, which I love. Thank you for answering some questions about the HD machine; that have been frustrating me for a while now. I am now going to tackle some UFO's (quilting), so I can make a bag I have been "putting off". Happy new year from Australia.

[@charissecolbert7204]

This has been so informative, Thank you Ellie

[@YannaMichaelides]

Oh.. Ellie. Thank you so so much. That was an absolute academic course. Wish I knew half of those info earlier. I have been nought several domestics. Several industrials. Mistakes of an enthusiastic newbie.

[@rosamolina9879]

Thank you for so much information on heavy duty machines and sewing

[@colettemonaghan8846]

I have only just watched this class, but I echo many of the sentiments expressed by others - very interesting and informative and a lovely relaxed method of delivery. Thank you!

[@diannbrown1505]

Learned so much after sewing for 60 years. Wish I had all this info earlier. You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you, thank you!!!

[@judyscicchitano7906]

First time...loved it! Thank you

[@christinec14cop]

Wow! Just WOW! Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge! I think it’s so important to learn how my machines work. I love learning the different characteristics of the machines that I have. I can’t wait to try different sized needles to achieve better results.

[@dee6241]

Hi I love all the information you gave, I viewed on July 19, 2022. I love and appreciate all your shared knowledge thank you

[@meanodustino9563]

As many have mentioned in these comments. Great job on presenting how to work with canvas. I am wanting to redo my car tent in waxed/waterproof canvas 20x30 i was apprehensive doing this but i have purchased a janome HD3000 and the salesman said “you should have no issues at all as long as you have the room. I think i will do it in 2 or 3 sections. Funny when you mentioned the part about car manufacturers. I am a automotive mechanic and knew exactly what you meant.😅

[@dorothyknox8170]

Thank you! Can’t wait ti try my next bag from Klum House

[@frankhenderson2443]

Should I thread my machine with the presser foot up or down?

I am from NewZealand and have A Janome S wanting to quilt a thick quilt

[@judithheslop9112]

Less amount of holes less chance of tearing

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

“Heavy Duty” is a marketing term to sell you domestic machines with plastic parts. This woman is using a domestic dressmaking machine to sew stuff it was not designed for. Machines going to break. The timing won’t hold up. Those bags void the warranty on a domestic machine.

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

Yeah, she made up some business titles. I’m Liz Claiborne.

[@barb2083]

Great video, great information, but am really disappointed in the language used. I'm glad I watched it without little ones in the room.

[@debbiemorris3587]

I echo Barb’s comment on the language! Was really interested in the content until the bad language was spoken. That’s very unfortunate because you seem to be a great teacher
