How to Use a Sewing Machine ✔️ Basics + Overview | Brother CS7000i

[@melaniec1118]

Just got this machine and you did a great job explaining the basics plus having a visual is a definite must for me. Your demeanor is calming , reassuring and you don’t use any verbal fillers ( no “Um’s”or “likes”. Very clear and concise. Really appreciate your channel. Just subscribed! Thanks again!

[@StayStitching]

I've had mine for five years, and it has never let me down. I, too, have a selection of machines, I always recommend this machine for beginners.

[@KKLTTL]

Hi Stay Stitching which machines would you suggest if I plan to start making clothing to sell? I also already have a serger that I purchased for inside seams of clothing

Thank you so much! I'm just getting back into sewing, and I've been excited to use my new machine, but every time I go to open it, I find a reason to procrastinate. This video helps make it feel much less overwhelming to get started.

Having problem with sewing machine coming unthreaded while sewing

[@dizzydezzy1895]

@@eileenthieken8471 pull the thread further out before threading your needle, the extra thread will give it more time to sew before trying to dethread. Hope that helps and makes sense!

Hi Jen! I’ve just purchased the Brother 7000i. It’s out of the box and ready for me to begin sewing. I had a Brother 8450 and it gave me such apprehension I never sewed a stitch. I’ve also owned a very old White and a Kenmore with cams. I wore out the Kenmore! Enjoyed it immensely and turned out clothes for everyone in our household. Your demonstration was very easy to follow. It did make me want to pop to my sewing room and get started even after midnight! Thanks! I’ll watch more tips on this machine and fashioning fabric.

[@owvicreationztv.8471]

Thanks dear i think you're the only one doing a video on cs7000i and it's really helpful, this is my first time buying a sewing machine and I needed lots of information on how to start the machine and how to sew, your video is really helpful thank you so much

[@michaelreitz6838]

My wife just bought me this sewing machine for an anniversary gift. I've always wanted one but have never used one. Very helpful video. Thank you!

My machine arrived today! Unboxed, threaded and practiced already. Thanks so much for this video as it was extremely helpful. I will continue to refer to it. Let the sewing begin!!!

Where did you purchasse your machine? I'm having hard time locating one online. :(

[@angelasandoval1236]

After ordered CS7000I my first computerized machine from Amazon and found your video, I'm so lucky! Looking forward to this series. :)

[@Kiwithebirdmommy]

I just received my new CS7000i, huge upgrade from my be loved JX2517. I am so thankful that you featured this machine as it was hard to find any video about it during my pre-purchase research since it is a new model. I am happy I picked it! Looking forward to more of your videos featuring CS7000i!

[@LindaHalik-f6i]

I have a 30 year old Husqvarna Viking that weighs 26 lbs. and needed a lighter machine to travel to my quilting class. I just purchased the CS7000X machine and found your video very helpful since I have never used a Brother machine before. Looking forward to your helpful hints.

[@MissGill219]

Fantastic job explaining the machine, you articulated and displayed everything beautifully. This is my first time sewing (this machine kept popping up as highly recommended) I will def continue to watch your videos as my "go-to" while learning. Thanks!

[@jsth2breethe]

Thank you so much for your videos about the CS7000i. They’re the only videos on YT right now. Mine was just delivered today and I’m off to have fun 😊

[@servicedevelopment3573]

Thank you I revived the machine for Christmas and I still have not used it but after watching you I think I may have a little more confidence to give it a try

[@SewingReport]

Glad I could help!

[@tonyaw543]

I am so thankful to have found your videos. I have always sewn by hand and decided to buy this machine after watching your very informative videos. Setup was easier than I could have imagined. My first use consisted of mending 7 pieces of my “holy” clothing while taking a break from writing. Looking forward to doing more with this machine. For those looking for a great machine for beginners - I highly recommend. If I can do it anyone can - I have never used a sewing machine in my 49 years of living. Don’t be intimidated.

[@cassandrabissett5056]

I just got this as a birthday present and I have never done more than hand sewing buttons back on pants and shirts. This video is so helpful. Thank you!

I just ordered this machine and I should have it by next week. Probably paid too much for it on eBay, but didn’t want to wait till August when they are back in stock. I’m looking forward to following your videos as I learn my new machine. It’s be a loooong time since I e used a machine.

[@rosemarythyme8595]

I was considering buying the CS7000i and after clicking videos in the search bar I found this video. Soooo happy I found you and this video. Def going to buy it around Black Friday. I love your videos! Looking so forward to learning more about sewing and getting my own CS7000i.

I've had it for close to a year and it's a great entry-level sewing machine!

[@Aquarius-216]

Sewing Report Thank you so much for this series on the Brothers CSi6000-7000 series. I’ve been machine sewing for 50+ years. This is my first computerized machine. I have a heavy duty machine and a Baby Phat serger. I chose this machine for supposed “ease of learning and use”. I’m feeling a little anxious about learning and operating properly. I really love sewing & crocheting. I think you’re just the person I need to get me up and running with confidence. The machine is shipping now. Wish everyone success 🥇🌟.

[@richricks78]

Hi Kathy... I have a question do you know the difference between the CSI600 and the 7000 series.. I'm a biginer I'm not sure on witch one to get.. thank you

[@Aquarius-216]

RYKZ 78 Hi yes the 7000 series is just a machine with 70 stitches & the 6000 series is with 60 stitches. Check out the different stitches if you want more. I doubt I’ll use them all lol.

[@lineywatch5921]

It would be nice if you can make a video like "Go shopping a sewing machine with me" or "How to choose a sewing machine" and then show us the process of you choosing a machine based on your own criterias. Show us different machines in different price classes. Do a comparison... there are so many people that wants a new machine but dont know which one is good. It took me like months to do research and look for machine reviews to finally decide.

I have this little machine and love it. Brother manuals are great and very clear. I have a Janome S5 but for piecing I use this one for accuracy.

I finally got my first sewing machine after saying I will buy it past 5 years :/ thanks for this video. I think I have threaded my machine wrong it is skipping stitches, thanks for mentioning which way the thread is winding in steps. I think I might have messed up something. update: following everything here the tension wheel was on 6 i guess that caused it. thank you!

[@KrisAshMommy]

My love just bought me this machine and it's on it's way. I'm a bit nervous as I have only used Singers. At this current time I have a Singer Simple that was given to me. I'm so happy to let that one go. I'm hoping this one is good for quilting.

[@frances6827]

You're one of the few who mentioned about the manual because I have a a Singer from 20 yrs ago and even then the pamphlet manual was poorly written and that's why I was considering Brother sewing machine instead (but of course you can always search for manuals online and get to check it out before the final decision.

Hey! I really love watching your videos... They are really nice for beginners like me... I just wanted to say, for the European watchers : i *think* the European equivalent of this machine is the Brother CX70PE. Would be cool if anyone could confirm my suspicion.... Xoxo!

[@TAFbond7]

I’ve been using a CS6000i for 1-1/2 yrs now & I rewatched this + the one on presser feet. I definitely agree with Brother’s quality for these economical machines. I wish there was an adjustment for presser foot pressure (for heavy fabrics, multiple layers, thick batting, etc.) but I guess being able to drop the feed dogs is good enough. Your advice (& Leah Day’s) on the FMQ foot is essential-viewing for quilters in my opinion. My wife & I have an old Brother LS-217, too, and it’s 100% mechanical action seems to stitch more strongly through tough fabrics. However, all the functions of the CS series make it easy for beginners to stay enthused. It’d be great to have a wider throat space for quilts but for

SO I just ordered this machine and received it the other day. I tried it out yesterday and today and I noticed that the bobbin thread has gotten jammed a few times. I think a couple times were my own fault, but some of the other times I wasn't doing anything crazy that would have caused it to jam...I saw some people in the reviews say the same thing. I'm just wondering if it is something I am doing or if it could just be the machine

[@elenagreen3068]

I have a weird question... does the machine cover snap on somehow or does it just kind of lay over the machine? It came with styrofoam inside the cover and it wouldn’t easily come out so I thought maybe it’s supposed to stay in there. No instructions on this so thought I’d ask you! Thank you!

No denim or leather yet but I plan to sew lightweight vinyl soon. Most regular sewing machines struggle with heavy fabric / layers no matter how expensive. If you plan to sew a lot with these, go industrial (Juki) or something like Sailrite.
