Learning to use your Singer Simple 3337

[@collinbickford]

My friends and I bought one of these on facebook marketplace to learn how to sew. Thank you for this, it was very helpful!

[@rebeccaevans8810]

Just bought this machine today. Have never been near a sewing machine and your video was spot on. Looking forward to watching and learning more from you. Thanks for sharing.

[@cathybeattie5965]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have 7 days in which to finish making Christmas stockings for a niece’s husband and baby. My 40 to 50 year old Singer wouldn’t sew a good seam, no matter what adjustments I made, then the bobbin case came apart (loosened the screw too much and I couldn’t find where it landed). Repair wasn’t an option at this point, so I purchased a Singer 3337 and rejoiced at the thought of having a much easier time threading the needle. Reality struck when quick start instructions and the online user manual couldn’t show me good pictures of how to get the thread through the little bits around the needle. Your video is a lifesaver! Now that I can sew the pieces together, I have a very good chance of having the stockings finished even before the drop dead date!

[@momdoesstuff]

Yay! You got this! You probably won’t love this machine as well as your older Singer, but it can do the job 🙂

[@susannehez4909]

Thanks for the informative video. I just purchased the Singer 3337 a couple of days ago after returning a Bernette b37. That machine was used 4 times, and caught the material in the switch plate every time I used it. I had to remove the plate and release the material each time. The last time I used it, the needle stuck in the down position, and that was enough for me. I have a Singer Curvey that did the same thing, and I'm debating whether to send it out for repair or not. I decided to buy a mechanical machine because my sewing expertise doesn't require anything more. So far, the Singer 3337 works fine. It's not all that noisy, and it doesn't vibrate at all.

[@momdoesstuff]

I’m so glad you finally found a good machine!

[@momdoesstuff]

[@lindataylor7882]

Very clear instructions. My machine does not allow the fabric to run through free handed as you show. I have to assist or the fabric just sits there! I am a complete novice and the machine has been stored away for nearly 3 years. Never sewn anything just practiced on scraps.

[@momdoesstuff]

Hmm. The fabric should pull through on its own. You just guide it to keep it straight. Make sure your stitch length is not set on 0. If not, raise the presser foot so you can see the feed dogs underneath. Turn the hand wheel and see if they move.

[@dc5600]

Thanks for an excellent demonstration, it was helpful. I was donated this machine to use for our sewing group at church. Unfortunately, the bobbin thread won;t come up even when I turn the needle and it goes does into the hole but it doesn't catch the bobbin thread. So it looks good but won't sew!! Any suggestions? thank you. Char

[@momdoesstuff]

If you are using the thread cutter on the bobbin thread, try just leaving 4 or 5 inches of tail trailing out to the left instead. I think sometimes it just cuts the thread too short. Hope that helps!

I have a Singer Simple but older model. Your tutorial was very helpful but I need to find a tutorial for my model as the features are slightly different.

[@carlaevansfarmer5924]

I got it fixed😅I retreaded my machine. I made my first pillow cover, although on my next project the threading got jammed and I had to remove the top plate. My bobbing gets jammed right when I get in the middle part of the fabric. 😢maybe I need to take sewing classes..I'm not giving up this time because I gave up sewing 3 yrs ago. Oh and do you have a tutorial on making a envelope pillow? I'm not sure if I had asked ya yet but thank you so much❤

I’m so glad you got that fixed! I do not have a pillow tutorial , but I will add that to my list for the future. Thanks!

[@carlaevansfarmer5924]

I have watched this over and over and it has helped so much! Although after I cut the thread after sewing I have to redo the bobbin thread. Is that normal?

[@momdoesstuff]

I’m so glad it’s been helpful! And, no, you shouldn’t have to rethread the bobbin every time. Maybe try leaving a longer tail?

[@carlaevansfarmer5924]

@@momdoesstuff but I cut the bobbin thread like u showed after placing the bobbin in. I don't think I can leave a longer tail on the bobbin thread. It is hard to explain it but when I got cut my thread after my sewing project the thread from the bobbin comes out and then I have to redo before I can sew. I' will work with it again tomorrow.

[@Sarahamaral07]

My machine came without the instructions booklet. I did not requested thinking that it was a new style? Till I heard I'm supposed to have a booklet included?

[@MurderCuteSAINT]

Firstly, I just wanted to thank you for this super easy to follow video! I was glad that it showed me that I followed the printed instructions well. However, the only problem I had was with the very final # instruction that came with it. I hoped to find that answer here but I didn't see you do it. So, after you've threaded the needle, How do you get it attached/looped with the bottom thread from the Bobbin so that you have two thread tails? The directions say to pull the top thread tail to the left while spinning the knob and allowing it to go down and up once..but I'm not sure I'm doing that right. Please help! I've never understood someone's teaching like I understand you!! ♡♡♡

[@momdoesstuff]

Hold the thread that’s coming out of the needle off to the left. Roll the hand wheel with your right hand towards you until the needle goes down and then comes back up. When it comes up, the bobbin thread should come up to. Sometimes it takes me more than one turn to pull it up. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching!

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Would you be able to do a simple sewing project video with this sewing machine, possibly? I learn visually, so anything you do, I will pay close attention. : )

That’s a great idea? What would be a good project? Tote bag? Window valence, maybe?

Tote bag would be fun!! : ). I am so excited to learn to sew with my new Singer 3337.....but, my mom lives far away to show me, so this would be great! Would this be something you would have time to teach us "newbies" soon? : )@@momdoesstuff

I just got this machine. I’ve been reading and watching all kinds of tutorials and I believe I’m threading properly, but when I start to sew, there big clumps of the top thread in the back and the thread is jammed in the machine. 😢 What am I doing wrong??

[@momdoesstuff]

I’m so sorry you’re having trouble! Try a different spool of thread. Sometimes you just get bad thread. Make sure you have the presser foot raised when loading the top thread until you get ready to thread the needle. Set upper tension dial to around 4-5. Test with a different fabric, quilting cotton is best to test with. Hope that helps!

I cannot find anywhere how to stop the needle from sewing when spinning bobbin. Problem 2, is there some trick to replacing the top part of the little storage compartment just snapping it down (the lid) before sticking it into machine takes me forever but don't know what does the trick. Hope this makes sense.

[@momdoesstuff]

Is the bobbin winding post all the way to the right? Try flicking to the left and then back to the right. That should disengage the needle. On the storage compartment, I just put up against the machine and then slide to the right

@@momdoesstuff Tried it makes no difference could be not possible with this machine. Might just have to run with the needle but bobbin is very snow spinning. There has to be something.

I just bought the singer m3220 . It is a little different from the one you did video on . Do you do video on m3220 ? I have been sewing all of my life, 80 yrs old . I lost the use of my left arm 6 years ago , so stopped sewing . My kids got rid of all my machines because I wasn't using them . I am so used to the good older machines and these new ones are so different . I am house bound now , and so bored . Thus the reason for wanting to try sewing again . I am doing ok with simple stuff but these new machines are so different . The one I got , m3220 makes a horrible clanking noise when sewing . It sews fine but you said the newer ones are noisy . Is this normal ?

[@momdoesstuff]

I don't have anything on the m3220 yet. It shouldn't be a whole lot different from the 3337 though. I'm not sure it should be clanking. I have a 'clanker' myself. It's a Bernina and I never use it because of that noise. In this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXy2gouieJx9h7M around the 15 minute mark, I ran all the machines so you could hear the noise level. Listen to some of those and see if they sound similar. I'd hate for you to have one that you can't enjoy sewing on. The Brother machines are really quiet these days. You might want to consider swapping it in, unless the noise really doesn't bother you. Thank you so much for watching! I'm going to look for one of those m3220s when I get to town next.
