🧵BROTHER SQ9285 SEWING MACHINE REVIEW🧵

[@calledtobeadaughterofzion892]

You say you're not a professional, but your teaching review was fenominal. Better than the pro's. I thank you so much for taking the time to show all that the machine can do. This is the machine I've been looking for. Thanks and many, many blessings.❤❤❤❤

[@stinkbugdesigns]

Thanks so much! I had the Project Runway for over 9 years, and used it frequently. It was getting a little touchy, so I found this new version on marketplace! Thanks for the instruction. I do love Brother sewing machines! With good care, they really can last a lifetime. I love the tiny, subtle visials such as the bobbin loading photo and the arrows that it needs threaded. My favorite thing about the machine is the needle threader. Because of the needle threader, I can still sew, even though my eyes are really bad. Hahaha Ok, and that was my TED talk for this week! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marcelacota85]

You seem so so sweet! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this sewing machine:) I have this model and I can’t wait to learn!

[@apolo691]

Me too I just got my Yesterday and I am very excited about it.😊

[@raymondsnyder1968]

I've been doing some homework looking for a great sewing machine for my Wife. I looked at every modeI.. checked out reviews, etc.. Then i got down to this model and another model.. But this one was my #1 pick. Then by watching your video you confirmed my choice. Thanks.! Great job explaining everything about this model.. I'll get it for my wife, her birthday is coming up.! Thank You again.!

[@Scrappinology]

What a nice thing to do for your wife. Happy birthday to her. Glad my video was able to help you with your decision. I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoy mine, now that I have had some time with it. Thanks for watching~ gina

[@lindamiller4755]

I got one this morning and I love it

[@MiVidaJugosaMVJ]

I'm so excited I just bought this machine. Thank you so much for showing how to use it and y the work you've made so far. Thanks!

[@Scrappinology]

You are so welcome. I have been using it a lot and I really am glad this is the one I purchased. Have fun with yours. ~gina

[@msjaye00]

Thank you so much for this video. I have this same machine but haven't used it yet. Loved how you explained all the components, you did a great job and inspired me to try my machine. Would love to see more videos as you learn more things. TFS.

[@marysews1]

I have the prior version of this machine, SQ9185, and I recommend this machine all the time.

[@irenestotelmyre2524]

the free hand; is called stippling: usually found in quilting videos. again find an instructor you like. when entering a design make sure you you use the right foot, or press the needle button; and or use the quilting, embroidery foot. and special attention to unplugging the foot pedal chord; AND WHEN TO LOWER YOUR FEED DOG!!! there are so many wonderful teachers out there; that will give you great tips, and or short cuts. with the internet check them out and definitely give them a thumbs up! be careful thou; there are those that share their bad habits; just remember: safety 1st! give it a try, and have fun! you need a challenge, go for it.

[@tatianaterriesmith8471]

I love my SQ9285 so easy to use and love the decorative stitches I use in my final quilting❤😊

[@cocot3662]

I am picking up this exact model tomorrow. I am so excited. Thank you for your wonderful video.

[@tamilapp4944]

My daughter just bought me this machine for Christmas. I am so excited to use it! It's been years since I have sown anything. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@Scrappinology]

How awesome is that Tami! I use mine mostly for paper crafting and an occassional felt project but I am still as happy with it as the day I got it! I hope you will feel the same. ~gina

[@vickiec5573]

Your video is the first I’m watching. I purchased 3 heavy duty singers this month and had to return them all because the needle positions were off and the bobbin timing also. So I’m ditching singer for a brother. Thanks for the video

[@annraysunkcaj1903]

I'm standing in front of this machine while watching this very informative video. I will make this purchase. Ty.

[@scrapeahappy]

Wow! Great review Gina! All the stitches you have are amazing and will be great for your beautiful paper crafts!!! Thanks for the honest review!

[@pixiedustmama3]

Thank you so much for this review. I been researching a new machine and I too was thinking about the project runway but now seeing your video I think this is one is perfect for paper crafting and those stitches you showed on the paper made me giddy ❤️🧚‍♀️

[@royalcoachclassics7818]

Thank you, Gina, for the demonstration. My Brother PC6000 just died and I'm going today to pick up my SQ9285. The only thing that I will miss is the automatic thread cutter. Otherwise, it looks very similar. I really loved that Bro, and know I will love this one also. Oh, and thanks for showing that we can sew on paper! That's great!

[@darlenenelson215]

I just got this one for Christmas. I to love all the different stitches. Thank you and have fun.

[@nrcg2317]

Excellent presentation. I'm trying to learn everything. I'm new to this hobby.

[@platinumdiva75]

I have this sewing machine, also. I love it! Have fun creating! 🤩🤩🤩

[@cathyb2281]

Wow great machine love how it does alphabets tfs

[@purposelycraftingthedivine9932]

I’m so mad at myself for watching this video 😣 I’m also mad at you for waiting until now to buy a sewing machine. 😆 I bought the project runway back in April and I really like it, but this one is awesome. I’m already scheming how I’m gonna get it 🤫 😂 wonderful review!!!

[@gracebeckwith1256]

😅

[@ginaholt7844]

Thank you for your most informative video. I bought one and look forward to using it soon.

[@jesiperez5830]

THANKS FOR THIS!😊

[@irenestotelmyre2524]

some teachers would claim that the paper would dull the needle. but!!! looks really good!

[@sadieconnolly1977]

Nice tutorial! I am grateful for your work in putting it together. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@shannonamell7102]

I got a Brother Project Runway, I got it back in 2000. I have had it right at 21 years. Absolutely loved it, but it was old, my needle threader and reverse button wouldn't work all the time along with the changing the stitches . I figured it was time for a new one. I have the same Brother sewing machine you got. I am loving it! I don't like how you thread it the top or to wind a new bobbing, it is a tiny more difficult then my old one. But I am just used to the old one. A far as threading the needle and changing the bobbing, it is the same on both machines. And the thread sits sideways on the new machine. 4 reasons I wanted this machine, 1 it had a ton of stitches, 2 it has the letter fonts and 3 it is a brother and 4 it had a walking with the arm attachment. I haven't had it very long and still trying all the stitches. I broke my left wrist in May and haven't been able to sew for 2 months, because I messed up my ligaments and tendons. Still not 100%, but I am getting there. At least I can do l some light sewing. Trying to learn free motion quilting and thread painting! I hope you enjoy your machine as much as I do! Happy Sewing! :)

[@calledtobeadaughterofzion892]

I pray healing in your wrist in Yahshua name. AMEN!!👍♥️♥️♥️

[@shannonamell7102]

@@calledtobeadaughterofzion892 Thank you so much! It's a lot better now, I still don't have 100% movement, but you lear to work around your limits. My wrist gets stronger every day and that helps :) . I will always accept prayers, thank you again! :) ❤️🥰 🙏

[@Plantsforme989]

Thank you for the review!😀

[@Crafticakes7]

Great review!! I will not buy another machine… I will not buy another machine!! 😂 no seriously 😂 I really shouldn’t 😂 thanks G

God Bless You're Awesome Teacher" Thank you

[@gracebeckwith1256]

Thank you so much! I just bought this and I’m excited to use it!

[@donnarehrig5808]

I am excited as well. Please let me know if you find out how to enlarge the letters and numbers. I would think its possible. thanks

[@ngeleloembete2956]

I'm happy with how you explained

[@RARenni62]

Wow! Great machine! I have a brother but, don’t remember the number. It doesn’t drive itself to Wendy’s and back though...lol. Enjoy using it! Let me know if you find any good patterns to try! Hugs 🤗

[@constancejones6718]

Thanks for your review. I recently purchased same model, was hoping I made a great choice and looks like I did. Hoping to make my visions be put to the test💖

[@Scrappinology]

You are most welcome....I have had it for a bit now and I am really glad I got this model....hoping you feel the same way once you play with yours. Thanks for watching ~gina

[@raquelflores9088]

What a fun sewing machine. Tfs

[@CreateInMePs.91]

Hi Gina, You did an awesome purchase. You are going to love it. I have the model SQ9000 . It looks almost the same but its alittle more rounded on the top. It is a gem and so easy to use. I'll share a pic on IG. Enjoy and Tfs Carmen

[@smurray7433]

Thank you. Much appreciated

[@patpollard2882]

I just bought a brother sq9285 & my reverse does not work. Any advice?

[@fauxurfancy]

It’s been a year, do you still like the machine? How is it holding up? Does it offer suggestions for tension? Do you ever get jambs? I love to know your thoughts now.

[@loriessing5275]

Thank you for your review. I just bought this same model.

[@Craftpurge]

When you did the different fancy stitching did you have to switch the foot petal between each stitch?? My project runway u have to switch the foot probably every 10 diff designs

[@Scrappinology]

Hey Toni....do you mean the pressure foot? If so, it seems like many of the fancy stitches use the N foot (even the alphabet) although there are others that require the different feet. It is just so easy to switch them out on this machine. I hope that helps..if not just let me know.

[@bette-annflood835]

I am wondering if the thread stays on the spool holder. Because I have one that lays down and the stupid thread comes off sometimes. I don't understand the concept if it doesn't work that great. Lol. And another question is if the thread pulls out of the needle can you pull the thread and retread or do you have to unthread it back to spool and start over again. These are two problems I have with my babylock melody sewing machine. And I hate it for those very reasons. Have been looking at this machine but don't want to invest in it if it does same type things as the one I already have. Thanks for your answers I hope

[@Scrappinology]

The thread holder has a sort of cap that slides on it after you put the spool of thread on ...it holds it in place. In regards to the thread coming out of the needle (first of all, in all the time that I've used it, it's never come out of the needle). So I made it come out so I could see. And yes you just re thread the needle without having to go through the whole threading process. Hope that helps. I still love this machine as much as I did when I first made the purchase and did the review.

[@bette-annflood835]

@Scrappinology thank you so much for responding. I will be going to Walmart tomorrow to get one. Thanks again.

[@bette-annflood835]

@Scrappinology my husband bought this machine for me on Friday it seems to work nice. The thread even stays on. My other machine it just pulls the cap off. Way to much stress at that point. So far I'm happy with this new one. Thanks for your input. Makes me more assured I'm not wasting money this time.

[@patriciahartnett4885]

Hi, I recently bought this model and liked all of the features as you mentioned. I am having trouble quilting! It seems that the platform can not handle the bulk of the quilt sandwich as I stitch???

[@constancejones6718]

Hope you have luck, I hadn't unboxed mine yet. I'm hoping to quilt as well.

[@CrystalJohnsonPinkPurseLady]

Are you using the walking foot?

[@myselfstar8019]

Thanks for your review. Can it sew through 4 layers of cloth?

[@elzadiasdearaujo9396]

Bacana👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽que material é esse que vc usou pra bordar?...acabei de me inscrevi,estou querendo comprar uma máquina que costure e borde ,que não seja cara.

[@Scrappinology]

Hi, In this video I used felt and paper to sew on. I do paper crafts so that is why I got this machine. It cost $199.00USD which I think is an great price for it. I am sure it could be helpful for what you want it for. Thank you

[@tinaivery8962]

Awesome review

[@debrafillingim7093]

I learned a lot on this video-have not had my machine long. I am searching for a video about using the alphabet. I can see how to choose it but not how to make it do it.

[@Scrappinology]

Glad it was a bit helpful Watch this video at 21:27 on the time line kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5vMe5qjmdClgqM

[@irenestotelmyre2524]

the letters and numbers do not change in size. you have to practice free hand, or hoop embroidery to manually get a desired length. it will typically be a straight stitch. there are videos on thread painting. be patient; and find one that is right for you. remember; have FUN!

[@tykeriaharris4181]

So I won’t be able to change the font size. ?

[@luzdarycuellar6354]

Buen día está máquina se puede usar en telas gruesas como jean ?

[@Scrappinology]

Yes, you can but you need to use the proper sewing needle and sew at a slower speed. If you plan to use these types of fabrics often you would probably do better with a heavy duty machine as this one is mostly for quilters. Hope that helps (sorry I can read spanish I just cannot reply in spanish)

[@calidazeable]

I just came across your video, Hoping you see my comment since it’s been a long time 😊 I’m considering purchasing this machine ... now that it’s been a few months of using it, are you extremely pleased or would you consider another style if you could go back Thank you kindly 😊

[@Scrappinology]

Hi...thank you for watching....for my needs I am very pleased with the purchase. It is so easy to use and having owned 3 other machines prior, this is my fav. Thanks for asking

[@calidazeable]

@@Scrappinology Thank you for responding! ... This is wonderful to hear you still are very pleased you bought it ... I see a really good deal on this machine, had hoped I could find a respective review.. This has given me good faith to buy it .. and give it a try Thank you so kindly again! 😊🤙🏼

[@frankjanvari8650]

hello very beautiful sewing machine please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal and how to operate the sewing machine using only the start stop button being used to sew please ok?please kindly reply back ok?thank you very much

[@randyc8171]

There are and were dozens of different Project Runway models. So that means nothing.

[@Scrappinology]

I'm not sure what your message is implying.

[@Toptoolreviewer]

How do you do a back stich on this machine?

[@Scrappinology]

It is right above the sewing button looks like and upside down U 9:13 on timeline

[@Toptoolreviewer]

@@Scrappinology thank you, yeah I did finally figure it out. No idea why it doesn't mention it in the user guide lol

[@janetbaccus9358]

How many and which presser feet were included?

[@Scrappinology]

10 PRESSER FEET - Zigzag foot, Buttonhole foot, Button sewing foot, Overcasting foot, Zipper foot, Walking foot, Spring action quilting foot, 1/4″ piecing foot, Blind stitch foot Monogramming foot

[@lirioconcepcion9662]

What’s your project?

[@Scrappinology]

Not sure what you are asking....this was just my review of this machine

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

Does this machine have a light ?

[@Scrappinology]

Yes, if you look at 7:09 on the time line when I switch it on you can sort of see it come on, but because of the lighting I use for filming you cannot see it as well as you can in person.

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

@@Scrappinology ok. thank you.

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

@@Scrappinology I see it.
