How to Set Up Brother CS6000I Sewing Machine | Easy Step by Step Tutorial

[@mindynguyen9443]

Lin, I hope you are still reading this comment. I have had a sewing machine for years, but felt too intimidating every time I opened the instruction manual. I tried to follow the instructions in the manual, but lost and then gave up. With your clear, precise instructions, I had no trouble setting up the sewing machine. Thanks so much for your instructions, I was able to make pillows for my children. I put back this project for many months. I like the way you showed step by step slowly, repeated the methods several times. The zooming in was extremely helpful for the beginner like myself. I wish you have more videos about sewing. Thanks again for being so kind to share your knowledge and patiently guide all viewers through the process. Your voice is so calm and sweet. I hope for nothing but the best for you. Wishing you lots of happiness, luck, success in achieving healthy goals, and good health in the coming days.

[@MrMartinWebVideos]

I'm a retired guy who has never used a sewing machine before. I just followed your very clear instructions and was sewing within 15 minutes. Thank you so much for your wonderful video.

[@tbriglia01]

Same here Martin but I lasted about 3 hours and then watched the videos! Lol😂 typical guy, we don’t need instructions!😂

[@Ammeta]

Omg I don't know how to thank you. I wanted to cry looking at the instructions. I freaking hate setting up machines..it makes me not wanna sew cause setting up the machine and thread is such a hassle but you made it look so easy and you were so clear with your explanations. I feel sooooo damn happy about setting the whole thing u. Thank you so much, you're truly an angel

[@birdmaster091]

I agree!!!! This was extremely helpful, straightforward and explained simply. I have been avoiding trying to figure out how to use my machine and now I know how to in 15 minutes.

[@anonymousjag7431]

You should start some sewing tutorials for beginners. It would help so much, especially since you're so good at teaching. I bet others would agree.

[@vannasgran6176]

I know this video is old. I have always wanted to learn to sew. I’m 53 years old. You made this so easy to set up sewing machine. Thank you so much. I’m so happy. I have never used a sewing machine.

[@simmytheegiant]

This is the best tutorial of probably anything that's ever had a tutorial lol. Very easy to follow along

[@wokwithrayRecipes]

Finally, I found a video on this threading the needle made so easy and close up. Thank you for making this video where the hands and or captions are not blocking it.. You are a good teacher. Thank you again and I just subscribed. I hope you make more sewing videos. :)

[@donnafinch131]

Very good, easy to follow video. Thanks!

[@a.k.carrigan3821]

Wok with Ray how’s to thread a brother cast-600i

[@ursulapanikowski5065]

The best show.

[@jeremielockhart4705]

I have watched a lot of "how-to" videos for this particular machine and not one of them comes close to your video! In fact, I learned more in 10 minutes from watching this video than I have in the past 5 hours that I have been trying to teach myself how to sew. You are so good at teaching!! Thank you so so so SO MUCH!! I cannot tell you how invaluable this video is to me now. Keep up the amazing work and I think you should really look into becoming an educator. You are an amazing teacher!

[@olivettelomax5821]

Lin, you have to come back and do other sewing tutorials. Your instructions and illustrations were so clear, amazing, and easy to understand and follow. Please come back and do more....PLEASE!!!!!

[@salinahattley4232]

Excellent! You saved me hours. Thanks!

[@hokuspokusIiI]

8 years up, video just helped me. Nice job!

[@vanessa-2365]

I just used my bc-2500 for the first time in probably 8 years. I needed a refresh as I originally learnt to sew on much older machines and I had a complete mind blank when I sat down to use this model. This was such a straight forward instruction video so thank you very much for the help!

[@talkingbird7529]

You are a lifesaver..thank you so much! Been asking my wife to hem my trouser legs for a week and finally got the machine out and did it step by step. I know she’s been asking me to fix something for the last six month but that’s another story.

[@ocsurfgirl]

Excellent video!! Just got my machine today and was sewing in 15 mins thanks to your clear demonstration and explanation.

[@barbie7034]

Do u like this machine

[@leslie-reagan5219]

Excellent job Lin! Thank you! I took my machine out of the box and started watching your video. You are great at this! Felt like you were in my sewing room with me! That manual was not an easy read- but your tutorial was very specific- clear shots of the machine, and just the right pace. Brother should hire you! Thanks Lin!

[@user-jh8cx4jf7u]

R Gandy just got one myself and first thing I did after unpacking it was search for a video. 🤗

[@ShantallPirie]

This was such a clear and easy to follow video. I'm an elementary school teacher and I LOVED how you explained this. The repeating of directions and close ups were amazing. Thank you!

[@SpiralDown2077]

Thank you so much! I was overwhelmed to tears looking through the manual (I was comforted to see I wasn’t alone in this, fellow commenters). My great grandmother was a children’s clothes designer from the 1920s to the 1970s. I have a lot to live up to, your video gives me hope 🤩 thank you!!!

[@TaprootLady]

This was perfect! I’ve never used a sewing machine before. Only hand stitched. So I did a google search of best sewing machines for beginners and found this one. I took one look at the manual and was completely overwhelmed. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@gailburns6024]

I've had my machine 2 months and have gone though every tutorial and still could not use the self threader... UNTIL your tutorial.... Thank you... thank you!!!

[@Merrlin]

I just want to say that this 7 yr old video should be the main tutorial for how to get started with this machine. It’s so well put together and you voice is very easy to listen to. Great job! Thank you again for the video!

[@jasmineb2859]

BEST demonstration on how to thread the needle! I was threading the needle without the help of the little self threading device for a few weeks now! This is fantastic! I am so glad I finally learned this little trick. Thank you for posting this!

[@Logan61912]

You are the best teacher I've ever met on youtube. Even your voice and accent are so lovely and pleasant to listen to.

[@stitchbritt]

I've had this machine for years and never known how the needle threader worked. I just always do it manually. It took a few tries with the threader so I'm not sure if it's any easier for me but I'm glad to know how now. Thanks for the close ups.

[@BisayangdakusaChicago2227]

Hello! New Subscriber here. Thank you so much for your clear and so much patience explaining everything. After 10yrs of just hiding my brother 6000i sewing machine I get to finally use because I just learned how to thread from you. Thank you!

[@SRena.piscaries]

PERFECT! Had this machine 4-5yrs & never touched it. This was the BEST!! I've already made my first project within 5mins of watching this video--a pillow from my tots old tshirt. Thank you SO much!!

[@cathiparish5149]

I haven’t sewn in 10 years and a friend loaned me her machine. Your video made me confident to try and I only had to do the needle threading twice! Thank you!!!

[@judymontanez6812]

Lin, your instructional video is better than many I have seen on KZbin, Clear, concise and your close ups are great. Most instructional videos do not use close ups with repeated instructions, great idea it made it so easy to follow you. Keep up good work, & thank for helping me.

[@allisonbart5010]

Hello! I'm a first time sewer and just bought this machine. I absolutely hate reading instruction manuals and it is so hard to understand something without seeing it "live". I loved this video and it was so helpful! I'm up and running because of you. Now I need to learn how to actually hem pants and other things. Make more videos!

[@wendyward8634]

You are fantastic! I just spent 2 hours reading the instructions for my new Brother CS6000i and gave up when it came to using the guide to thread the needle. Of course KZbin has everything and you were the 2nd video I watched. If only I had seen your video first, I would have saved myself 2 hours of struggle. Thank you so much, I can't wait to get back to my machine and start sewing.

[@donnalear1918]

Lin, Thank yo so much! I read and tried to follow the written directions 100,00,000 times and couldn’t thread the machine. Watched your video and 10 minutes later I’m sewing!!! Your a great teacher... I’m glad I didn’t throw the machine away, haha!

[@BritClips]

I have seen for 45 years plus but never had a self threader. Your video was immensely helpful!

[@TameTheMind]

Thank you so much. This is one of the rare youtube instructions that makes sense ! That it happens to also be about the CS6000i sewing machine is a plus. ( It's either learn how to use this machine or donate it, secretly --as I don't want to hurt the feelings of person who gifted it to me.)

[@dorcasbyrd9384]

What a sweet person you are to make this video for the public. I am getting my machine in a few weeks and wanted to start learning some of the basics. Thank-You so much!! I hope I find more videos from you!!

[@wren8362]

Thank you Lin. You are very kind to share what you know and help others. I have had this machine for over a year, and I was afraid to even get started because of all the new features. You have really helped me. You instructions are clear, and the close-ups were perfect. You are a good person and you have a sweet voice.

[@felisamccolligan3226]

Hi Lin, thank you for your clear and concise tutorial. You speak slowly and show close ups so that those of us that are beginers dont have replay 5 times to catch the action. You dont treat your audience in a condecending manner.We want to learn how to sew, that why we are watching these tutorials. You are a good Teacher and it is clear that you care about your audience. Thanks

[@V10lette579]

I had watched your video a couple months ago and loved it!! I went to use my machine today and forgot how to thread the needle. I was so relieved I had saved your video. You did a great job on this video easy to follow perfect camera angle. Thank you!!

[@eileenbirzes3639]

I bought my machine 4 years ago and gave up on it because it intimidated me so much. Now I've signed up for a quilting class and can't put it off any longer. Thank you so very much for breaking each step down- you are my savior!

[@msnatty]

I literally picked up this machine from the back of a truck and I had no idea what to do with it. I had it up and running by the time this video was over with your help. THANK YOU so much! You're a lifesaver!!

[@betsyadkins4658]

Oh my goodness! The needle!! I have watched many many videos and no one explained how to thread the needle the way you did! I can thread it now with no problems. Thank you so very much for the way you teach and the close ups!!

[@nadiaarment6593]

You are the BEST!!!!!! Thank you so much. After 4 years of having this machine in my closet I finally took it out. So here I am.

[@stellapryor8652]

Thank you for being so very clear with the instructions. I like how you show different angles of what you’re doing. THANK YOU. This is my very first sewing machine and you’ve made setting it up very simple.

[@1027layla]

This video was extremely helpful. I felt so lost reading the manual. You did an excellent job.

[@joseph-israel]

IS THERE any amateur like me that held his breath to the end and been like... "WEEEW.... I FINALLY GOT IT!!!" Thank you Sunshineshare! Subscribing!

[@jyamaka]

The only demonstration for the needle threader that I could actually see and understand. Thank you so much!!!! Excellent video!

[@ShroomFairy]

Bless your soul, this video was so helpful. I just took the machine out of the box and was feeling overwhelmed with a previous video I watched. Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you!

[@marialampariello1380]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! you have no idea how much I appreciate you taking the time to teach the internet how to set up their machine! I was so intimidated that I put off using mine! thank you so so much!!!!

[@loganguzik]

I just got into sewing and this is my first sewing machine. I tried following the instruction booklet but I just couldn’t understand what exactly I was doing. You made it incredibly easy to set up and really see. I think I can do it on my own now thanks to you! AMAZING video!

[@thesubmissivehousewife]

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! You did a wonderful job explaining this!!! I wish I would have found you sooner!!!!! Please make more videos using this machine!!!

[@brentkapicic675]

I bought this machine for my mom, she is loving it. Oh, I found a great deal on Brother cs6000i here plus.google.com/u/0/108517582443785927045/posts/1JRtF8nzqMg .

[@nadeenrobinson4281]

Yes I agree she did well. I am looking forward to do same so you all can look and learn. Take care and be blessed :)

[@tracyjcollier]

Thank you sooo much! Your video saved me. I was scared of my sewing machine b/c I always felt intimidated by the threading process, but you made it so easy to understand. And that replay....fabulous!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

[@rootedpineshomestead]

Perfect video! I recently bought the cs7000i and couldn't find any good videos on youtube, but this one was PERFECT! I love that you redid parts and zoomed in so we could see it better. My machine is all set up and ready to use now! Thank you so much!!

[@DebsTubes4u]

I agree with R Gandy who said: Excellent job Lin! Thank you! I took my machine out of the box and started watching your video. You are great at this! Felt like you were in my sewing room with me! That manual was not an easy read- but your tutorial was very specific- clear shots of the machine, and just the right pace. Brother should hire you! Thanks Lin!

[@deecee8984]

Nice... One of the best professional, non-professional videos I have seen. Straight to the point, detailed, the close up views (perfectfly on point) and instead of music all throught the video you just play it on example views... The best... And language etc... Was not an issue. Easily understood... Appreciate the fact you took time to make this video to help those who needed it. Clapping... Handshake, hug etc...😊😎

[@Ranakade]

I am super happy with the fact that you included different camera angles for each step. I am an absolute beginner sewer who bought this machine. Million thanks for this tutorial :-)

[@glennmcnair2004]

This video is awesome! I’m a guy who has never even turned on a sewing machine before so I was pretty unsure of myself when I unboxed the machine. You made this so easy to understand. I really appreciate the closeups and explaining each step more than once. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@123worldclass]

You're a GENIE!! The calm and clear explanation on how to approach this machine is absolutely helpful in every way. Even though the steps are numbered, your patient instruction enables a confidence for viewers to not get hung up on the technical aspects. Thank you so much!! 🧞‍♀️💫

[@x.y.1215]

Thank you! I gave my mother my machine to use and ran out of time to show her how to thread it. This is perfect! Thank you for making this really helpful tutorial.

[@johnnymorris6978]

WoW....Thank you soooo much Lin. I started reading the manual and got so frustrated. I was a watchmaker for many years and for all the people who think a watch is complicated, a sewing machine is 10 times more so. Your step by step is so easy to follow and the video is excellently done. So happy I found your tutorial. My headache is gone thanks to you. I look forward to more of your videos. Now, if I can just teach myself how to sew!

[@kellyberkey7609]

OMG thank you so much. I had NO idea what I was doing and I was scared that I was going to make a mess of it all. I bought my first machine and I don't have anyone to really teach me any of it but I'm determined to learn. I really appreciate this video.

[@tinamoran4294]

I am very new to sewing: your video was very thorough and I REALLY appreciated you taking the time to explain. You also showed different views which made it very helpful. Best video for newbys to learn to thread their sewing machine! Thank you

[@kingsmill9751]

Lin, you are an excellent teacher! Perfect pace, crisp, clear closeups! Could not figure out how to use the automatic threader, but you made it so easy. I'm a first time sewer and you made me feel confident. Please keep the videos coming!

[@beepboop449]

this was so helpful and didnt even feel like almost 10 minutes. THANK YOU. i will be using this as reference again when i thread my machine for the first time

[@TTM1755]

Thank you so much Lin! I got the machine for my mom for Mother's Day but she hadn't sewn in such a long time that we had to KZbin a tutorial on setup! Excellent instructions!

[@nikkiflowers4241]

Great instructional thank you so much! I've been sewing for years but just picked up this machine today! Yours is the first video I came too, I don't think I need to look any further! Thank you again so much. Nice, clear and perfect instruction!

[@pepperpotts5859]

Oh my gosh!!! You saved me! I was looking at the instructions and thought my head was going to explode!!! Thank you so much! You made it so simple!!!!

[@pamelafarrell2065]

My machine is to arrive tomorrow...I haven't used a sewing machine in over 30 years and only minimal use. Thank you very much for this AWESOME tutorial as I am sure I would have been struggling with the manual. Thanks again!!!

[@Brnsuga71]

Thank You!!!! Finally a close up video explaining how to thread my sewing machine. It's been sitting in the box for 3 months!!!! Ready to get started now!

[@Mrkatfox]

I just wanted to thank you! I was getting so bummed out because I wasn't understanding the manual with this sewing machine. This video made starting SO easy! The multiple angles was so perfect. I just really appreciate you making it. Now i'm hoping to make a whole bunch of masks for the hospitals during this scary time. So thank you!

[@jennystanford4695]

Thanks for this video. I had my sewing machine for so many years and haven't done much with it. With this video, I know how to do the basic set up and now to make mask for myself.

[@cherishedowl421]

Thank you , I have poor eyesight and have the most difficult time threading 🧵 my needle, my eyes are so grateful for your tutorial. You are worth your weight in silver ❤️

[@gwenbaptiste6500]

This is my first time using this machine, and yes, within 15 minutes, I was sewing. Thank you, thank you.

[@janiegallart1841]

Wow, I just want to say thank you! You are a wonderful teacher! I just bought this sewing machine to be able to make some face masks, for the Covic-19 pandemic, and I was so frustrated because the instructions were not clear and I was going nowhere with the machine because I never use one in my entire life, so before return the machine I decide to see if I could find somebody, who can teach me how to do it, so I follow all your steps, and I did it, I was able to do everything the way you did! Thank you very, very much for your tutorial!

[@chilibonze]

I love all the close up shots to show exactly where the thread is going. It helps a lot. Thanks

[@patriciadanna7433]

Thanks. Easy to understand. I liked the way you repeated each process. You made threading the needle so easy. You are a good teacher.

[@carolonius11]

Thank you so much for this! I have had this machine - a gift - for a year and a half - in the box. I need to sew a mask for my husband tonight. I just it got up and running in 20 minutes. Thanks sooooo much!

[@danikeebler1662]

My cs6000i arrives tomorrow. This video was verrrry helpful. It was slow and complete of what I need to know to get started. Thank you!

[@maryodell2896]

Thank you for such a detailed and thorough video! Editing takes just as much time as recording the video… so thank you for such dedication to help others.

[@jahtibacollins9454]

Very detailed and clear instruction. Fantastic use of multiple camera angles and going over key step twice. Thank you for helping to get me setup!

[@whereisthebeto]

I need you to do tutorials on EVERYTHING! Thank you so much for the perfect tutorials!!!

[@me.6917]

I was literally in tears reading the instructions and you just made life so simple 😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@elemon3284]

One of the best tutorials I have seen. Great closeups when you need them. You put a lot of thought into this tutorial.

[@thequeen3037]

OMGGGGGG! You are the bomb dot com!!! This is easily THE BEST tutorial on setting this machine up. I couldn't get the self-threaded to work no matter how many times I tried. Your clear and close-up instructions -- on every step, but particularly that step -- made using this machine an absolute breeze. Thank you so much for taking the time to create and edit this video and share it with all of us. You are amazing! Make more sewing videos, please. ---Your Newest Subscriber!

[@aaaaaaaas67]

2021 and this videos still better then anything on you tube about the cs6000I, well done !

[@DonnaLansburg]

Thanks so much! I am a complete beginner and this is the first machine I have owned in years! I have forgotten everything I once knew so all instruction videos are appreciated ! The only problem I encountered was threading the needle. I finally got it! LOL

[@dagsd7063]

This is my go to video. Every time I forget how to use my machine, I go watch the video. Best video out there.

[@lorainecummings2448]

This is an excellent explanation of what I was finding difficult to understand from the manual and other's videos. Thank you so much for the very detailed explanation and close ups. I hope that you will make more videos. I will watch them for sure!

[@jacquiemcevoy4509]

I LOVE YOU!!! I've owned this machine for a year and had to hand do the thread through the eye of the needle but after your video I finale threaded the needle using the machine!! You rock!! Thank you!!

[@mjm-7418]

I whole-heartedly agree with the positive comments from the others: best video, helpful close-ups, excellent angle shots, etc. I just unboxed my machine and immediately looked for a start-up video. The Operation Manual should make more sense once I finish watching the rest of your video. Aloha from Hawaii!

[@Altazmuth]

Understand the time stress of trying to squeeze in everything you want to do. I thought your sewing machine demonstration was excellent, greatly appreciated, and leaving me wishing for more from you.

[@montiralei]

Thank you for this. I understood the process better from watching you do it than I did when I tried to read the manual.

[@mariaarcuri2723]

Thank YOU for this. I have watched a number of Brother videos, and yours stands out. I love the close up (second teaching) you do each time. And LOVE the quality of your video. Its non-blurry and I can really follow along very easily. Thank you

[@sadiareza9893]

This was SO HELPFUL omg thank you so much! I hate reading instructions and I probably would never have been able to do this without your video so thanks a lot!!!

[@SandyCampbellHemet]

I am in the process of purchasing this machine and I simply loved your demonstration!! Very easy to follow your instructions! Thank you so much!!

[@cosign360digital6]

Thank you so much! I just followed your perfect instructions! It worked! I threaded my first bobbin, darned my first needle (couldn’t get the automatic threader to work), and made my first sew! Yayyyyy!!!🙌

[@calistaprince3834]

great tutorial and still standing useful 4 years later. i'm a beginner and never in my life ever even touched a sewing machine, but this made things so simple and easy.

[@avapappas3650]

I’m getting this machine in 3 days and I wanted to figure out how to use it before I got it so I wasnt overwhelmed and this was so helpful, thank you so much I feel slightly prepared to start learning how to sew now 😩😩

[@jroseme]

Back hear again after a couple years to remember how to use this thing lol

[@Fam52011]

This set up is the only reason I’m purchasing this machine. Thank you

[@AddieKJ]

This was perfect! Thank you so much. I just opened my sewing machine today, and yes, it did look way too complicated. That's actually why I put off setting it up for over a week now! This was awesome though, thank you!! Have fun sewing too :D

[@eil3354]

Thank you so so so much! During this COVID time I finally took my brand new sewing machine of out storage room ... and after watching your video I am good to go! Thank you thank you thank you!
