HOW TO SEW | SEWING MACHINE BASICS FOR BEGINNERS | BROTHER CS6000i

[@KayleighYoung0]

i just bought this sewing machine on facebook marketplace after not touching a sewing machine in 10 years. thank you so much for the clear explanation

[@yemiolawale]

Hello, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Hopefully you make amazing stuff with the new machine.

[@RaJay-yj9fz]

Thank you thank so much for this video have search the whole you-tube for this I have a machine like this and did know where to start your such an awesome teacher keep up the excellent work this means alot to me

[@silva7493]

You made this seem not so scary. I just got the Brother CS7000X, well I got it a couple weeks ago but I just opened the box. My whole life before I've been sewing with a machine my mom bought used in 1950. I'm 65. It's not so complicated and scary! :D It's a great machine, but I have to take it to a repair shop. It only goes in forward and reverse though, so now I'm trying something new. I appreciate how calm you are, and you have a very gentle, kind voice, and your camera shots are wonderful! I feel much better after watching this, I should be okay. Thank you so much.

[@yemiolawale]

You spoil me with kind words. 😊😊 Thank you. Wow 1950 is a long time...I am glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching.

@@yemiolawale I totally agree with silva7493. Im 75 and decided to update my 50 year old Sears machine (weighs a ton). Your video was excellent!

[@courtneyblair2062]

Thank you for making this video! I’ve had a hard time finding a clear, simple video for beginners and this was so helpful! 😊

[@yemiolawale]

Thank you, glad you found it helpful

[@phyllis262]

This is a great sewing machine. I must have about a 100,00 miles on mine, lol, since I purchased it for $124 in 2016. Its tough enough to sew through blue jeans, 2-3 layers. I highly recommend it. I make dolls for the shoe box ministry with Samaritians Purse, and there are 2 stitches that I use for the face, the eye brows, and they eyes, which save me so much time, on these handmade dolls. It is still performing at peak. Thank you, Lord for my sewing machine.

[@yemiolawale]

Wow, making dolls?! you do a lot with it, that's amazing.

[@spiraldown2710]

Thank you, I’m so new, I’ve only ever hand sewn a few buttons; terribly. I appreciate the step by step so much, as I thought I threaded mine wrong, but I actually did it correct! 😁 thank you!

Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I'm going to set up my machine tomorrow.

[@cbar65a]

Me too, but months later. Lol. My first sewing machine will be delivered tomorrow. This video is very useful!

That's great, creating clothes is indeed fun, thanks for watching 😊

[@hanshi3831]

I have a couple of questions about backstitching, if you dont mind helping (complete beginner here): Does it matter if you use the foot pedal at the same time as you push the reverse button vs if you use the button alone without the pedal? I don't want to mess up my machine or my finished product. I'm not sure if it makes a difference either way. Also, when you did your example of backstitching, it looks like you sewed past the fabric and then backstitched back onto it again. Will the seam stay put after trimming the extra thread off as long as the backstitching overlaps the seam? Thank you for the video. You're a good teacher!

[@yemiolawale]

Hello, thank you for watching and the compliment 🙏 For your first question, if you are sewing with the pedal plugged in, use the pedal, hold your backstitch button while you use it- I mostly sew with the pedal on, for easier control and also, my hands are free to manipulate or direct the fabric. second question, I usually sew past so it's easy for me to trim and cut. it usually happens when I remember to backstitch a little late or the stitch isn't too long, like in the video. As long as the new stitch overlaps the old one, it should be fine.

[@cbar65a]

Thanks for sharing this. I've never used a sewing machine before. Ordered a Brother cs7000i. Did you say that bobbin thread is a different type from the thread on top of the machine?

[@yemiolawale]

Generally, you use the same type of thread for the bobbin and the top except you are trying to sew something different.

Do you know where I can buy the accessories that should come with this machine. I bought mine used they were not included.

[@yemiolawale]

Hello, apologies for the delayed response. It depends on the parts you need, amazon is the one place you can find similar parts, you can also check eBay for parts.

[@cathoffman2769]

Hi. Thank you for this video! I just got one of these machines and needed some guidance. (I don't know if the thread holder is big enough for your large spool, but it does pull up a bit.) 🧵

[@yemiolawale]

It's not big enough to hold it so I just let it pass around it

[@joannelandry8323]

HELP! Do I need to oil my brand new CS6000i sewing machine? I am very excited to start sewing!

[@yemiolawale]

Please don't,

[@yemiolawale]

If you want to service it, take it to the repair shop, all you need to do is clean the dust where the bobbin is, when it gets dirty, no oiling

[@RaJay-yj9fz]

The thread keeps bundle up underneath the fabric how do i get reed of that

[@yemiolawale]

Thanks for watching. For the thread issue, it usually happens when either the top or bottom thread is too loose or too tight. By top, I mean the thread coming from the spool and for bottom, the thread on the bobbin. You have to check either to see which one of them is causing it. If you use the machine to thread the bobbin, the issue is less likely to occur

[@cindyh.3017]

Wonderful video, thank you for this

[@yemiolawale]

Thank you

[@stopmotionf.official]

Thank you, your video helps so much 💕

[@yemiolawale]

Happy to help

[@deborahdurst]

The metal pin for larger spools of thread actually moves up and down depending on the size of your spool. Just pull up on it. No need to set the large spool on the table to thread the bobbin.

[@yemiolawale]

Thanks for watching. Mine can only go so far up when you pull, maybe newer models have longer pins.

[@coarinejones260]

[@yemiolawale]

[@rajbhangu9029]

When you cut the thread after sewing, what do you need to do to reset the machine to sew again? I see the long thread is hanging out. Do you just continue on with your next piece? nice video by the way!

[@yemiolawale]

Yeah, I continue with my next piece...I leave the enough thread hanging out so I don't have to thread again when I attempt to sew again(sometimes it escapes from the needle hole when you turn the hand wheel). Thank you for watching

[@yemiolawale]

Hi, I don't know what you mean by sideways but you can always adjust your fabric in the direction you want to sew.

I’m having a problem while using the walking foot. If I speed up a small amount the stitch length becomes incredibly small. Why would that happen?

[@yemiolawale]

I would be honest, I have not used my walking foot yet...but I would check my stitch settings as well as my upper thread..just incase something is holding it or preventing it from moving smoothly (this happens with my other regular sewing feet), other times, just removing the foot and putting it back will do...let me know if this helps...I will try doing a video on walking foot soon

I just wanna say it was so frustrating when you got to the bobbin part you did not explain anything that you were doing, and it was impossible to see what you were doing because of the quality/the way you filmed it and I couldnt follow along. I now have to watch a whole other youtube video to figure this out.
