Brother Boutique 751 Maintenance and Operation (Bobbin - Threading - Sewing)

[@sewing5197]

I just bought a Brother Boutique 751 at a yard sale and couldn't find a user manual. I don't have much maintenance experience with sewing machines so I was so happy to find your video on KZbin. Not only did you show me the problem so that I could fix it, you also explained maintenance which was a plus! Thank you!!

[@RedBarnHomestead]

You are welcome. I have a few other machines I need to shoot videos for, it’s just finding the time.

[@didikohen455]

We have a Brother 791 that seems exactly the same. It's been a while since I last threaded it, so I got the first tensioner wrong, but thanks to you, it's now sewing like after I fixed it!

[@RedBarnHomestead]

That’s great news!

[@SherenePutusRAB1120]

Omg...Thanks so much I have a Jones 771 machine inherited from my mother hadn't a clue how to thread it watch uour video sane threading pattern help immensely. Thanks a million ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Very glad we could help!

[@ellieblack8028]

I just got one of these from the thrift store for $13! Thanks for your video!

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Great Deal!

Hi, I just used W5- 20 engine on my sewing machine and it is so quiet now and it runs like a dream, but use a needle nose squeezer and go easy a few drops goes a long way.

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Yes, most of the time noise and smoothness can be enhanced with a bit of oil.

[@anitamunyama9974]

This was soo helpful ❤️💐 thanks a lot

[@soheilatavangari9601]

I just bought a brother XL 706, I don't know what the function of the small key on the work screen that has a red mark is. Thanks for video

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Glad it helped. My wife is a sewing machine master, I can't make these videos without her.

[@kathytangren3275]

Very helpful

[@lindabrown7374]

Wonderful video! I just bought this at a barn sale for $19. I haven't tried it out yet. The lady I purchased it from said it works, but runs slow. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thank you.

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Sounds like a lubrication issue.

[@daisymay6290]

Hi, I just acquired a Brother 781 sewing machine from a friend. It looks like it needs maintenance but I'm not able to find any instruction/ user manuals for it. Please, can you help with some pointers on where to find the manuals, use and maintenance? thank you!

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Dig dig dig some more on the internet, you may find a model close enough to your unit.

[@katherinebosquez1464]

Thanks! This was a great help!

[@khinekhine613]

Is that brother comparable to Sears Kenmore from mid 60s? which one would you like more?

[@RedBarnHomestead]

They can be, but it depends on the model as to who Sears contracted to make their sewing machine.

[@sandrawillard5690]

Is there a place to adjust the thread in the buttonhole. One side does nice and the other doesn't. Thanks for your help Sandy

[@RedBarnHomestead]

I’m honestly not sure, I’ve never had that problem, and no longer have this machine!

[@telminhahora3976]

Obrigada! Me ajudou muito. Deus te abençoe!

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Você é muito bem-vindo.

[@jonathansamonte8447]

Working with a brother galaxie 8015 on loan from my professor. Absolute life saver

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Glad it helped!

[@rhondamercado7527]

I have the 431 and I cannot get the clutch knob to loosen up so I can wind the Bobbin. I’ve put wd-40 in the area and used a hair dryer but it hasn’t given yet. Any suggestions?

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Here you can use a bit more force to free things up.

[@Potatocustom]

i know this video is over 2 years old, but wanted to ask if by chance you know what the bed size of the 751 is?

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Not off the top of my head, when we get it out of its storage spot we’ll try and update this comment.

[@gregoryroberts3949]

Hi i have a similar model that was given to me so no Manuel or info at all. It has a few more stitch patterns . It ran great for a short time . But now bobbin thread continually breaks or upper thread tangles around bobbin assembly immediately on start. Any suggestions?

[@RedBarnHomestead]

That could be a couple of things - the tension could be off, or the timing could be off. Make sure you have good quality thread, threaded correctly, and try adjusting the tension (both on the bobbin and the upper tension). If this doesn’t help you may have a timing issue.

[@germainehouse7504]

How old is this sewing machine? have the xl795 and very similar in style. A tough machine! Thanks for this video as I can now oil properly.

[@RedBarnHomestead]

I’m not 100% certain of the age but I believe it’s early 80’s. They are very tough machines! Glad to help!

[@wendylarochelle4258]

Where do you get the belts for this machine

[@RedBarnHomestead]

eBay or Amazon.

[@WorldRandomVideos]

I have the same machine, do you know how old is it ?

[@RedBarnHomestead]

I would guess mid 80’s, but I don’t know for sure

[@illus5]

Anyone know how to get a manual for this

[@Bert-xi1dn]

Referring to 7:53 "I have to make sure it's gonna come out like this": My manual explicitly shows that the bobbin has to be put in the other way around, i. e. with the thread pointing away from you, to the right when looking at it sideways, then pulling it back through the slit. Feels a bit counterintuitive, but there it is...

[@RedBarnHomestead]

I believe the bobbin thread should be coming off counterclockwise (that should be to the right as you said) I very well might have had it backwards, it doesn’t ever seem to be a deal breaker if I get it in wrong.

[@shyndalcrane359]

How do I aim for a satin stitch?

[@RedBarnHomestead]

I believe the satin stitch would be wide and short, so adjust the width until it’s the width you’re looking for, and shorten the length to almost nothing.

[@RRE769]

It would have been really helpful if you had used some sort of pointer to show what you're talking about, but still helpful.

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Good idea for the next video, thanks!

[@maria13corvette]

Great video but hope you would show threding.

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Holy crap, that one slipped through. Would be similar to the singer 237 we thread.

[@Table484]

My bobbin isn’t spinning :(

[@RedBarnHomestead]

You mean to wind it? Might be a bobbin locking or clutch issue.

[@Fatimagaming9999]

Aoa Bhai is machine ka belt mil sakt hai

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Yeah, you can make your own which might be easier.

[@rhondamercado7527]

I forgot to also mention that I cannot get the little white button for darning to loosen up. The turning knob to change from straight stitch to zigzag is also stuck. Apparently the machine must’ve sat idle for awhile. I guess it’s just gonna take a lot of patience, oiling and heating. any other suggestions would be appreciated.

[@RedBarnHomestead]

I think you are in the right path with lubrication. I’d say use pliers to help but you need to be careful not to break anything.

[@renaldarobertson9924]

En francais svp

[@RedBarnHomestead]

Désolé, nous ne sommes que l'anglais pour le moment.

[@d46512]

I doubt if my new Brother has half the skookum factor of this old girl.

[@RedBarnHomestead]

These ones are powerhouses for sure!
