@boitumelopula will do! One question, do you reckon I can sew small hermes style silk twilly scarves with this? Is it silk friendly ?

[@Imyourgirlfriend]

Its been so long that i havent used this mini sewing but you describe how to operate this thing so nicely,and now i remember how..thanks

[@boitumelopula]

It’s a pleasure darling. Enjoy your sewing

[@Kobalt-1914]

How do I get the bobin wimder to stick out i can't figure it out it js stays in the machine

[@katlegopapane]

This is so helpful, been meaning to buy this, but I was not sure if it will work for me.

[@boitumelopula]

It will work trust me! It is best for people with no sewing experience ❤️❤️

[@DoreenKeogan-pz6nf]

Another problem,I don't know how to work the lower bobbin,..? Have you got a video? Thank you.

[@boitumelopula]

Hi there. Please check out my video on how to thread a BROTHER JA 1400. It is the same technique - both have a top loader bobbin

[@ewanapieracz2441]

Ładnie tłumaczone jak by było jeszcze w języku polskim. Ponieważ dużo polek zakupił ❤

thank you❤

Good explanation

[@missmissy5170]

I thought this machine was for kids. I have no sewing experience, so am going to have to return this thing...ugh my daughter is going to be so disappointed 😞

[@boitumelopula]

Hey Missy. Are you returning your machine back to the shop? Oh no☹️you can learn so much as a beginner using this machine💜

[@missmissy5170]

Well I had both it for my daughters to use. I don't feel they would be able to use it independently.

[@missmissy5170]

Lol I thought it was for kids! I was able to make it work by watching your video. There is no way my daughters could use the machine though. The box it came in had kids on the front, so I thought it was for kids 🤦‍♀️🤣

[@katelynrenaeoyler7572]

​@@missmissy5170it is for kids.

[@katelynrenaeoyler7572]

​@@missmissy5170it is a beginner machine for kids to learn on. My daughter uses it but I'm only here to figure out how to thread it because I only hand sew 😂

[@RheaTan-p5d]

If i turn it on it suddenly stop and not functioning what should i do?

[@ellianarrikke7929]

Mine too. I don't know what to do about it

[@cupcakesz88]

Its because your thread is getting snagged tangled underneath in the lower bobbin compartment.. this is almost always a thread quality issue which is something ive just recently learned due to trial and error after having troubleshoot for the same issue

[@khataza1]

Thank you so much Tumi this helped so much ❤

[@boitumelopula]

It is a pleasure my darling. I’m very glad I could help

[@deabakKpopersPH]

Is there any switch for light or lamp on the part of the sewing machine??

[@boitumelopula]

@@deabakKpopersPH hey. unfortunately there is no lamp on this machine

[@darlyalvarez]

Excellent video!!

[@boitumelopula]

Thanks a lot!🤍

[@EsToiletPaper]

Everytime I do it the fabric jams or the sewing machine gets stuck

[@boitumelopula]

Hi. Is your machine brand new? Have you tried oiling it?

[@EsToiletPaper]

@@boitumelopula which part would I oil?

[@EsToiletPaper]

@@boitumelopula yes it’s new. Started using it like 4 days ago

[@noneednoneed4209]

Hello! Thanks for the video! Was wondering if you could help: my needle is no longer going up and down. Any idea how to fix? Thanks!

[@boitumelopula]

@@noneednoneed4209 is your hand wheel stiff when you do this? If so, check your tension or open bobbin compartment to see if there’s any thread stuck in there

[@noneednoneed4209]

@@boitumelopula the thread was stuck and i took it out but it’s still not moving :(

[@roseprestridge8027]

I loved that this is prefect for a beginner, I didn't like that there was no reverse for ending all seems.

[@boitumelopula]

Me too hey. Hence I upgraded to a bigger one. But you can try reversing the actual garment to reverse your stitching. Tedious I know but it helps

[@alettachisirimunhu3902]

Thanks a million for the video but I needle isn't catching the thread totally

[@boitumelopula]

Pleasure. Please just check if there’s any step you are missing. It’s not supposed to do that

[@alettachisirimunhu3902]

@@boitumelopula I have gone over it about 5 times ,I will keep trying though .I haven't been use the sewing machine in about 5 months because of this

[@boitumelopula]

@@alettachisirimunhu3902 does it need to be oiled maybe? Can’t think of the cause of the problem. Sorry I hope you find solution though

[@alettachisirimunhu3902]

@@boitumelopula thank you very much

[@cupcakesz88]

Duude...same! I have a similar machine except mine didnt come with the pedal or power cord but has the ports for it if you want to buy them separately... which is ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as the on/off button found on the machine! Fyi....youre loading the bottom bobbin thread in incorrectly... you need to flip the bobbin over and load it in that way... the thread should be coming down from the right hand side of the bobbin not the left

[@Carmenjonatika]

My bottom bobbin wont come up, I'm desperate! I've sewn with this machine before w no issue

[@boitumelopula]

@@Carmenjonatika hi. How is that happening, did you install it properly?

[@DoreenKeogan-pz6nf]

Hi ,as I was sewing the thread seems to have got jammed. The needle will not move. Thank you.CLARA

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. Try move the hand wheel back and forth while pulling the thread OR open the bobbin compartment and check if there’s any threads tangled.

[@DoreenKeogan-pz6nf]

Thank you ,that worked.

[@melisaosagioduwa6021]

I have a question when sewing the threads keep breaking or coming out the needle, what can I do ?

[@boitumelopula]

Hi there. Please check your tension.. it might be too high. Turn the front dial to loosen your tension, also retrieve any threads stuck in machine and start over. Hope this helps🙏🏽

[@vernettajones6509]

Is there any way to lower the bottom feet it's difficult to get material in with the zig zag?

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. I’m not sure if I get ur question. When you say bottom feet you mean feed dog? Unfortunately that you can’t adjust when sewing

[@SteveCash-d5h]

If the battery is there can it work without electricity or there must be electricity supply for it to work?

[@boitumelopula]

Hi there. It does work with only the batteries

[@SteveCash-d5h]

Okay thanks so much for the reply❤

[@tsmoker4022]

I have a question 🙋 Do i have to tie off my end after cutting the string after sewing a line

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. No need. Rather have a long thread before u start the next stitch line, so that it doesn’t draw back when you start stitching

[@elaineison7674]

No, you turn the hand wheel and put the needle into the fabric, lift the presser foot, turn your fabric, presser foot back down, sew an inch or so, and then repeat. It doesn't have a reverse, so you have to do your own 'reverse' stitch.

[@elaineison7674]

See my two comments below, please. Sorry, not very computery! LOL

[@mudgrippmike3489]

great video.... and you need to get another flat screwdriver😏

[@xoamy210]

Now what do I do with the tread coming out after 9:57

[@boitumelopula]

@@xoamy210 hi. Please elaborate. Does your thread slide out from the needle or what do u mean?

[@NIKIWEMJOBO]

Bobbin at the part where you put fabrick not threading please advise

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. Please ensure that you follow each step carefully.

[@JibrilSaka-qe2nl]

nice teach

[@boitumelopula]

Thank you so much

[@lydiakessel6880]

I have the same model it's a different color When I inserted the bobbin and put it in the little thread track it's not catching on the needle thread I have no idea what I'm doing wrong 😭

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. I’m not sure if I understand your question… is your bobbin not winding?

[@Violachinenye2785]

Same with mine. I passed the robin thread manually but the machine can't see on clothes eve when it's whinning

[@Mimi-hy5ri]

How much is it cost in Canadian dollars in2024

[@boitumelopula]

Hi there. Machine was 350 ZAR at that time on TAKEALOT on South Africa. Kindly convert ZAR to your currency

[@imremolnar5302]

Hi.I have a question. Leather materialls can do this machine?

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. I highly doubt. Regardless, I wouldn’t advice to use this machine with heavy fabric as it does not have a reverse stitch

[@angelageorge1234]

Finally I have I got it right😅 after so much trying Thanks dear

[@GladysBrown-g7e]

I can't remove the bobbin holder

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. Did you manage to pull out the holder following the steps on the video?

[@matildanarkikrakue4091]

Is it supposed to be noisy?

[@boitumelopula]

Hey. What is noisy? So you find it too noisy when you sew?

Yes please
