How To Thread The Brother SE400 Embroidery and Sewing Machine (beginner)

[@anitathomasmiddleton5285]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I bought this sewing machine after not sewing for 20 years.... Any you've been AWESOME!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@melissadaniel437]

Just used this to thread my se600. Spent so much time trying to understand the threading but this video made it so simple. Thanks much.

[@Lolly2times]

Great video! So simple and easy to follow. I was so frustrated I wanted to throw my machine out the window but you saved the day. Thank you,

[@melissadaniel437]

You and me both

[@eldajackson1]

I still want to throw the brother machine out the window. I only use it on rare occasion to embroidery. I have a Husqvarna for regular sewing. I fight with this brother machine every time I try to thread it. 9 easy steps, my big toe!!! I always have to get out the instruction book & watch Burley Sew over and over and over . . .

[@JennyNiblock-jh5ru]

Thanks for your easy-to-follow directions! i just got a Brother SE 400 at an estate sale and am excited to sew with it!

[@robertacruz9170]

Thanks so much for your easy to follow videos. It's been 38 years since I had my own sewing machine and now that the kids are all gone and on their own, I decided to get a new one and my have sewing machines changed. You make it look so easy. Best wishes to you.

[@MissDaisyDesigns]

I just bought this machine, and received it today from Amazon. Thanks for the great video, much more clear than reading the manual!

[@melissaarteaga5332]

I'm 24, but this is my first time ever using a sewing machine, and this visual was so helpful versus the manual! lol thank you so much!

[@Latindyva]

Great video, I will try to thread my gift, a Brother SE400 machine. Thanks so much

[@dixonnegron1083]

I'm thinking of getting this sewing machine. I've never had one so it's new to me. I've been looking at lots of videos of this model. You make this very simple and it's very clearly explained. Thank you so much.

[@annalejandro1]

Burley Sew--You are just the BEST teacher! I am new to Brothers, Bernina broke for the first time in its 20 year life right here in the middle of my Christmas sewing!-- but I bought this Brother for my 11 and 9 year old nieces this summer, and although they have NO sewing experience, they are able to follow your instructions very easily and so am I! Nice great machine but man with 5 granddaughters and living 90 miles away from the city, I AM SORELY MISSING THE RUFFLER AND GATHERER FOOTS! Thank you for the work with really clear videography. You are doing lots of us a huge favor, and I'm so very grateful. I have all your videos re. this machine in a ""my favorites" list. You do a great job and you're a great teacher!

[@sarahvice6326]

Great detailed video for someone like myself. I'm purchasing the brother se400 machine and watching all of your videos over and over on this machine. Thanks again!

[@nooney818]

Dude!! I struggled before this video. Even the Brother website wasn't as helpful. Thank you!!!

[@cathymorrison4193]

Thank you so much for this video. I have never owned a sewing machine and your video was done very well. Easy to see, I was also grateful for your review of the steps and your patience showing this. What a blessing this video has been to me.

[@nimocone]

I am also a burly man who is just getting into sewing as I am single now. I'm looking to purchase the Brother SE400 and am watching all the videos on it I can. I appreciate you keeping it all simple and encourage you to do more videos. My only critique is to make sure your right hand doesn't pass in front of the camera to block the view. On some of your videos it happens. Otherwise, excellent tutorials.

[@jeannemarie9466]

Thanks for your effort & time. ‘Gege to 12’ & a bit of time required since touching my machine caused a need for a refresher. And this solved my problem. HappySewing!

[@cherylsteverson6603]

thank you so much!!!!! I just got this machine and I don't know anything about machine embroidery yet so this is so helpful to me. You are clear and a very good teacher!

[@markhamby755]

Simple and concise. Thanks for taking the time to help the rest of us.

[@sheilamortensen9029]

I just got my machine. I am so hooked on BurleySew. You just make everything so easy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@lilcouponbug2963]

TYVM for your help! It was soooo easy with your video and now on to threading and doing my 1st hem on some jammies for the hubby :) I was soooo excited about getting my Brother SE400 yesterday and intimidated at the same time and you helped me get over that! *hugs* Jaime

[@angiethomas9226]

A million thanks! You made it so easy!

[@mdhresources]

Hi! Thanks so much. You made threading the needle appear to be easy.

[@joycegalay8995]

Thank you, I kept trying but could not get it but doing it with you was easy. Thank you so much!!!

[@BurleySewgoogleplus]

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad the video helped. Have fun with your new machine.

[@dawnbuck607]

Thank you for your video. It definitely will help me with threading my Brother sewing machine!

[@makadalibert9516]

Thank you soo much num.6 and num.9 didn't get. But I followed you and got very simple you made it look thank you.

[@tmcd1826]

Thank you for the video! Sewing machines have always intimidated me and I'm taking the plunge...and watching all the videos I can! Good job and looking forward to watching others.

[@carryokie9502]

Ok thank you best ever explanation maybe I can practice sewing now that I know how to thread my machine thank you thank you! You don't know the frustration I've had after 2 classes and pulling my hair out yay! I can do it!

[@FerrelCordle]

Nice job of showing the steps and physical locations on the machine. Many have their hands in the way and you cannot see what they are doing.

[@toshiakimball300]

Very very helpful for a beginner. Thanks so much

[@annettegay8839]

Thank you! I just ordered my machine and can't wait to get started. I'll be watching more of your tutorials as I go.

[@maureenchandler2287]

Thankyou it looks so easy and I think I’m doing it right but for some reason I’m doing something wrong. Ive watched you about 6 times. I wont give up even if I have to watch you 20 times. Must be cause. I’m old. Lol lol. Thats my excuse. You couldn’t teach us any better. I think its hard for me to get my neck down there to see properly. Thank you. I might be back. Lol. Maureen

[@Paula-vr5rm]

very thorough, and clear and slow video! Thank you, I subscribed to your KZbin only because you were, as I stated above. I've got to get my new glasses and I was having trouble seeing how to thread so I searched it on you tube. Great Job!

[@sethjohnson4513]

Great video! I just got my Brother SE400. Your video was a helpful introduction. I'll check out the rest of your videos, too!

[@barbararogoff7917]

Thank you so much for your instructional video! I was having trouble with the 8 - you made this very simple. YOU ROCK!

[@Annettefern]

Thanks again your an excellent teacher! I look forward to learning more!

[@lalalalalalalove9402]

Thank you for this video! Very well explained and not went through in such a fast pace.

[@pamelaeaves1852]

Hi, your instruction for threading the machine is very helpful, I am anxious to see you embroidery something. I have the SE 270D machine.

[@bubber5551]

Nice Job! Loved what I saw and so much more helpful than the manual.

[@rachaeldelvaille3886]

Thank you for this-- I was in tears at step 6 re. the needle bar thingy grr! I'll try again. The SE 600 threads exactly the same. Thanks again!

[@nickbuakaew]

just bought the machine, thanks for the tutorial.

[@lossofanation]

Very great video!!! Thank you!

[@rudyvela7933]

I was jamming up and my my wife said i was doing something wrong. Your video showed she was right. hahahahaha Thanks

[@mariannerichardson9601]

wow. thanks. I could not see step 7 on my machine. The pictures in the book were not clear. Thank you for helping.

[@ellenroddy4465]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. I made my first frame and put initials in in using the resize and repositioning instructions you put in the other video.

[@josephnguyen7335]

That was an awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@samanthamitchell6142]

thank you for making this video I'm interested in buying one of these machines and know nothing about sewing or anything so this will definitely help me!

[@loniriley7417]

Thank you so much for this! Helped me a lot!

[@debgehrke]

This was super helpful - just got the machine

[@9thd4z]

Thank you for this video & helps a lot.....Looking for all the help can get & yours shows it very good!

[@briannabauer7534]

This was wonderfully helpful. Thank you kindly for this video!

[@654Bearcub]

Thanks so much for the video, I just received the brother se 400 as gift from hubby and am a visual learner, I appreciate you took the time to make all the videos with all the close ups and different explanations too, have a great day, how does one get other patterns for the embroidery to do some low cost

[@alexwinstead6640]

Hello! First thank you so much for the videos, they are very helpful. I am having problems with the threading. I have followed the steps over and over again and for some reason it will not take the thread. Do you have an idea of what I am doing wrong.

[@dianemoore5985]

Same here

[@MykiWms]

I have this machine, i call her "Beauty"and my Brother serger "Beast" I love them both.

[@narrowgate528]

Your videos are the best instructional ones out there, I find them clear and easy to follow. My only request would be, please dump the music! It is intrusive and competes with your voice. Otherwise, the video is perfection.

[@abenaabedonstv2763]

God bless you... This was awesome

[@lindaveres6620]

Thanks you made it so easy!!

[@appleseedscrafts]

Thank You!!! I needed this video. :)

[@jgkiske1]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@BurleySewgoogleplus]

Thanks and Thanks for the tip. I am working on some new videos with better light and better camera angles. This is a great machine it does just about everything.

[@miscancioneslocas]

Perfect!!! Thank you!!

[@elizakasau2634]

first of all thank you for Ur videos they r very helpful.if i have a large image can i transfer direct from pc or do i have to use an external storage device.thanks in advance

[@1BostonTerrierGirl]

I super LOVE your videos. I have this machine, (the Brother SE400). I know how to thread the machine, but I can't. I have to thread it manually because the needle is too far over to the left hand side, above the throat plate. The needle itself is constantly rubbing against the throat plate, sometimes breaking off needles...It's a mess trying to sew like this! Is there any way I can 'set' the needle to the middle of this machine and 'save' the settings once and for all? Thank-you so much in advance.

[@Spirithorse11]

I have been trying for awhile to figure out how to adjust a stitch for a regular satin stitch or embroidery stitch without a hoop. Just for my own applique designs. I don't know if I can do that with this machine?

[@darlenenelson215]

Hi Tim, thanks for all your videos. I just got the SE400 my ? is, the needles that came with it, are those for embroidery or machine sewing? It didn't say on them.

[@sweetgirlythingstemmis1073]

Thanks for making this video. It's clear and easy to follow. I do have an issue though, my automatic threader is not threading my needle. I did change the needle to a ball point needle, could this be why?

[@BurleySewgoogleplus]

Check to make sure your needle is inserted all the way. Also make sure the needle is in the up most position of it's stroke.

[@amberharris6176]

Im curious if you can answer my question i have threaded everything as you demonstrated and done my bobbin as your video but i think my bobbin thread just doesn't work right it keeps coming on top of my bobbin any suggestions would be great. Thanks

[@10671067yt]

Should the needle threader move up and down with the needle bar when sewing. Thank you.

[@bellamujer85]

Hi can you do a tutorial on embroidering initials on men's button down cuffs

[@Mystdragon]

Any suggestions on how to get the thread that's wound UNDER the bobbin winder lol.

[@elizabethgeorge9280]

Do you have a clip on setting thread tension on Brother se400

[@leticiahernande2201]

Like your video ( course I am a beginner , question , I am trying to use the sawing machine and it keeps telling me to change the speed controller mode to off ? Please help , I don't know what to do

[@ronbrooks9519]

My needle threader won't thread my need. le and I thread it myself and start to sew my thread breaks . please help

[@alihussein-ll1ug]

Thank you for all your videos . I just have a question when I want to start the machine is show that on screen (The safety device has been activated. Thank you again

[@MalVerc]

Do you have any videos that show how to create your own image using SewWhat Pro? Or at least just add stitching (not text or another image) just adding additional lines or something

[@michellefleck1676]

Can anyone let me know when I'm using my brother for embroidery do I use the bobbin at all? i didn't see in the video of him talking about it. .just got my brother so setting it up and already advanced on just a normal sewing machine. thank you much appreciated

[@nookofknowledge]

omg that's all I had to do? Just pull the lever down? lol thanks for the video

[@cmccall522]

Any thoughts on my metallic thread would keep leaving the needle? I have it in a cup behind the machine and I was working...now it constantly comes unthreaded!

[@aime10e]

videos r great. does any one else who is starting with this machine feel a little bit overwhelmed. As I have no problem when it comes t wifi systems or e-print apps; this machine set up for some reason Is really overwhelming. It's been a long time since I have sewed...does any one have any tips? Would greatly be appreciated

[@edrielbodden17]

can u show us how to put the bobbin in the machine so that the thread can attatch

[@kerlinepierre1156]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lilliestyles7741]

I'm curious as to know whether or not this machine is good for making iron-on patches. I'm relatively new to embroidery using machines but I am in the market for one that can embroider iron-on patches. Is threading the machine for sewing basically the same process as threading it for embroidery with just a different foot? And do you think this machine is good for making patches? Thank you for the video! :) Subscribed.

[@deannadenney3933]

I have a Brother Disney sewing and embroidery machine and can’t find a video on how to thread it! Can you please direct me to a video about this machine please

[@amieann48]

What would make the thread keep coming out from under the thread guide right above the needle?

[@VRUAN]

+Audrey Lennon There are tension wheels that a thread has to go through. The wheels are inside the channel between step 2 and 3, when the on/off switch is red, wheels are open; green, closed. To open the tension wheels while threading the machine is a correct procedure. Do not close the wheels while threading because you will lose your tension and cause bird nesting underneath the bobbin when sew. You thread keeps coming out from under the thread guide because the wheels are open. Check to see if the on/off switch is red. If so, the thread has no tension. One way to prevent the thread keeps coming out is to turn the switch to green by lowering the presser food level. Be mindful when the switch is green, the machine is alive. If you inadvertently touch the on/off switch, the machine will start sewing and might cause injury.

[@dmedina0206]

Thanks... all that was pretty easy but i keep getting this message "The bobbin thread is running out" would you know why?

[@RAPPLE421]

same. ever figure it out?

[@salmairfan7220]

What kind of thread we use on brother 600

[@janetdry5241]

Thank you.

[@SomeoneHasMyName2]

How do you thread the bottom part?

[@bettycastillo8496]

Hi, I just bought my new machine a few weeks ago. I'm using it for the first time because I've been sick., When I first started using it, I had no problem getting the thread to go through the needle on que. I recently changed the needle because it totally broke for no reason as I dropped my needle to begin sewing and since then it does not seem to line up and therefore will not thread for me. I have followed every instruction on doing it but still will not work. Any idea what may be the problem?

[@mariangies]

thank you... what size hoop does this machine use?

[@cartoonboysluver23]

Maris Rios 4x4

[@kaylacruz13]

My bottom thread is loose and get tangled... What should I do?

[@ivorykeys1566]

I bought one of these machines at a sale but can't figure out how to set the stitch length & width..HELP 🙈

[@ZuesRG]

Every time i start sewing it says that the bobbin thread is running out, how do i fix??

[@tabbolenobridges8413]

Can anyone tell me how to thread the embroidery thread it don’t seem to be the same way

[@HazelHammond1505]

thank you thank you

[@vegasvancitygirl9251]

Ohhh my gosh!! I’ve had my machine for 3 years and I’ve been threading it incorrectly !! I have 4 machines so I haven’t used it that often but still I cannot believe I’ve actually been sewing like that duhhhj🤣😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️-that’s what I get for thinking I KNOW!

[@BurleySewgoogleplus]

Yes you thread the the machine the same way as you would to sew. Make sure you pull the thread through the hole of the embroidery foot. Check out some of my other videos, especially the one on how to thread the machine and maybe some of the ones in the embroidery playlist. What is or is not happening when you try to embroider?

[@Paula-vr5rm]

I have watched this video and I am doing everything you show, but my machine still won't thread, could it be my needle us in wrong, it acts like it want yo thread it but it doesn't, I need help!

[@skimplordfoo]

Paula Chesney same! I can't figure out why the thread won't go thru the eye of the needle.. somebody??..

[@michelleandrews1148]

I just purchased this and I thread it and the button with the arrow stays red and the screen won't change what am I doing wrong I can't get my machine to work. Please help me

[@sandeepgour9859]

Kitane ki he ye mashine

[@skimplordfoo]

Like a few others in the comments, I have completed all of the steps successfully except for step 9 (pulling the lever to actually THREAD the needle). I've accomplished this several times successfully but now it simply won't cooperate. I see the same question unanswered from years ago. Some1 please give me an alternate solution, my situation is time sensitive.
