Sewing Basics 1: How to thread your machine.

[@LovesVeritas]

I recently got a sewing machine (found it in the basement) and it's the exact same one you're using to demonstrate threading in this video! Can't tell you how helpful this is!!! Thank you!

[@THEBRITTEFFECT]

I know that this video is old, but my grandmother has this sewing machine and when she passed away they let me have it. I’ve had it for almost 17 years now and never knew how to so never knew how to thread it. Thank you so much for this video

[@DrMaryJoArtEd]

I’m so glad it could help!! I make it a long time ago and I’m happy it still helps people :) my machine from this video still works!! They are pretty awesome machines!! Good luck!

[@inesteixeira-dias2371]

Over 10 years later and this video is still super helpful - I'm a first time sewer and found this really useful. Thank you!

[@KaySquared81]

LORDY THANK YOU SO MUCH. IM USING MY GRANNY'S SINGER. SHE PASSED IN 2001. I had NOOOO Idea what I was doing. I did print the original manual. I couldn't see the bar thread guide to save my life. ☺

[@ng3855]

😩😩 found mine at goodwill straight old school lolllllll thank god for this video i was so lost

[@ChippiSweet]

I have an old Singer machine and it's built similar to yours and I was able to completely thread my machine after trying for three hours!!! I was reading the Singer's manual and watching their videos and I just couldn't smoothly and easily thread my machine. Thanks so much for your video. I wish I had found it sooner.

[@DrMaryJoArtEd]

Love this so much!

[@thequeenofmyhomeauntienina4691]

I make Rosaries for my Marine Moms and a friend gave me a sewing machine just like yours. I can now use it!!!! I was buying burlap bags and also glueing them, but now I know how to do them all because of your tutorial. You are the best!!!!! OOH RAH

[@DrMaryJoArtEd]

awesome!!!! :) pay it forward!!

[@Z_MourningStar]

My mom gave me her old machine, taught me how to thread it and I forgot after not using it for a few years 😭 I appreciate this video so much!!! Thank you for helping a different generation 💖

[@anniechartrand378]

DUDE this video showed me what hours of research and downloading a dusty original manual completely failed to demonstrate. THANK YOU!

[@DrMaryJoArtEd]

Annie Chartrand love it!! That machine is a work horse. Mine got a little slow in its old age, But still work!!! Sometimes when you’re learning, slower can be better anyway!!

[@PrettyKittyPaintings]

Finally, after forever and a day trying to wind the bobbin, reading the manual, searching everywhere, rage-quitting, then picking it up again I've succeeded thanks to you. Not only that, but your machine looks almost identical to mine! I have a Brother VX1005 and I couldn't find a tutorial specific to that model. Thank you so much again!

[@rizvialina]

i bought the same sewing machine and i was just confused n frustrated by using it and left it at peace. now after 2 years i found your video that actually helped me and i'm now sewing!!!!! thnkx alot for making this vid!!! ^_^

[@ariniputri]

received a sewing machine from my mother in law which she bought so many years ago and it doesnt came with the manual. im glad i came across your channel! Thank u, instructions were so clear!

[@maggidawson1388]

Great tutorial!! I haven't sewn in years and bought a machine at goodwill to start back up but it didn't come with a manual. This was extremely helpful! Thank you!!

[@jovishark]

thank you so much for making a video for this model, ive been trying to figure out my moms sewing machine for DAYS.

[@DrMaryJoArtEd]

Glad I could help!

[@unipeg4]

No kidding, the BEST tutorial with clear video EVER! thank you, I can finish projects again!

[@RAB554]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I was just about to take my machine for repairs. I know I need to watch my finance. So I decided to do a search on KZbin, and I found you. Hallelujah!!! My machine is working like new

[@linaurlie]

Quarantine 2020 brought me here

[@shevonneseow1874]

Hahaha same here too 😂

[@nlvegasang8301]

Same for me too. Decided I was going to learn how to use a sewing machine

[@Toast_Charms-lm6mr]

Yep grandmas sewing machine got me this time

[@roach8158]

same except its worse now 😍

[@sashamcguigan9981]

Making those masks 😂

[@nadazzler]

I was just gifted a Singer 4525 and I could only find tutorials for digital machines. This was SO helpful, I can't wait to learn to sew!

[@acanadianwoodworker]

We have this exact same machine at home, and every year my daughter and I do a sewing project. And then of course we forget how to thread the machine, and refer to this video - thank you so much for making such a clear, logical and straightforward video - cheers! Yes and on our wishlist is a basic cleaning / oiling video from you - love to see it!

[@irispope3462]

FANTASTIC DEMONSTRATION OF THREADING BOBBIN AND SEWING MACHINE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! TRIED EVERYWHERE TO FIND THREADING FOR MY OLDER MACHINE!!!!!!!!

[@maryjorosania-harvie8506]

You're welcome! I am SO glad to like it! :)

[@artisme1097]

For those of us still using our grandparents machines thank you this is very helpful

[@MakeupHuesAndViews]

Thank you for this demonstration. I've been blessed with one of my mother-in-laws's old sewing machines, Singer Merritt 2118. The other KZbin videos that I've come across are for much newer machines. Your explanation throughout was specific enough for me to follow along with the owner's manual.

[@21B-j6y]

Hands down the best instruction video for the bobbing... Thank you

[@DrMaryJoArtEd]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽☝️☝️☝️☝️woo hooo THANKs!! Did you Subscribe to my channel? I’ll make some more videos soon :)

[@jessicas2780]

BY FAR the best tutorial I've seen! I'm a complete sewing newbie that is going to take my mom's old JCPenney 7057 for a spin! You actually made this make sense! Thanks!

[@MrKelso159]

Thank you so much for showing both how to thread the machine and how to thread the bobbin. I was threading the bobbin wrong. I just picked this machine up and it was a little different than my other. Thanks for taking the time to do this video to help us. Thank You !

[@giorgioo2152]

This was a great video. U were the first video that popes up under me search and it was perfect. You taught a 15 year old (me) how to set up a sowing machine and I figured out the other half, Hahaha. Thank you so much.

[@daveheffner3266]

14 years old and im here learning how to thread my machine. thanks for your legacy !

[@chrisjalilie2252]

Wow this video was so helpful i had no idea how to set my GREAT grandmas machine up but up and running now!! thank you!!

[@KaySquared81]

Right. Too excited!!!

[@julianasalazar242]

Same !!! I just have no clue what needles you need. If by any chance you know that would ge awesome

[@DrMaryJoArtEd]

when you are shopping for needles, it will say what they are for on the package -- it will depend what you are sewing.

[@mayrajimenez3895]

Thanks. Very glad to find a good video where can teach me how to learn good tricks

[@kingofcorona984]

Great video. A lifesaver. I was able to get that sewing machine running properly before my wife got home. Would have been ugly if she found out I had wrecked the machine.

[@lillydarkfire6193]

I know I am wayyyyy behind on this (just a tad under 7 years!) but I wanted to say thank you for this video. It is very well explained and well thought out. The fact that you put it so eloquently, and in such a way to make those you are "teaching" feel like you aren't being condescending is just perfect. So thank you so very much. I have been glaring at my Singer for 2 days trying to figure it out. *laughs*

I just got a new sewing machine. My old Singer is from 1976, so things are different! The instruction manual is almost useless. So, THANK YOU!!!! Now I have a bobbin threaded! Yay! (I took the horizontal and vertical to mean the thread placement, not the spool.)

[@cyndigirl3505]

Thank you so much for this video. My older neighbor gave me an old singer that she hardly used and I have been wanting to learn how to sew. So glad I found your video, just sad you don't have more =) God Bless you very much.

[@xMonsterFieldx]

Great! I own a Capri 20 sewing machine and didn't found anything helpful. Now with your video/tutorial i successfully threaded my machine! Thanks a lot!

[@juliapadilla3622]

Omg thanks so much, a neighbor of mine gave me this sewing machine and I have no clue how to sew, but I want to learn. Thanks for sharing this.

[@LizM93]

OMG i've tried so many different tutorial videos on how to thread this machine i got as a gift and this was the only one that made sense! Grazie!!!

[@CutterCo]

Thanks! I found an old sewing machine from a dumpster and got it working with these instructions. It's different model than your's, but the instructions still worked.

[@sillygirl722]

Thanks for sharing this..I was lucky enough to find a singer machine that was sitting by the trash and had no idea how to thread it, the manual was too confusing for me to understand...This video taught me how..thanks a bunch!!

[@KikaSimon]

I have had my machine for a long time but never used it because I was clueless about how to do this, and the instructions are horrible. Thank you, now I can start a project I am really exited about :-)

[@samanthariecken5836]

i can never remember how to string my singer and this video saves me every time bless you

[@bedi09]

Oh my god feeling nostalgic here . Its the same kind of machine I learnt sewing on, for the first time . Summer vacation at grandma's . Never touched another machine again , now is the time to start doing what i loved so much as a girl. What a coincidence 1st video i play has the similar kind i used about 20 years ago. Good tutorial.

[@tessadaniels6405]

Thank you so much! I received a vintage JCPenny machine from my mother, who received it from her mother, and I had almost no clue how to set it up. It's very different from the modern machines we have today. Your video was very helpful.

[@paigehill9195]

Thank you for sharing this. I have had 2 different sewing machines for over a year now and I haven't been able to use them until now! You are amazing and you made it so easy to understand. Thanks so much!

[@nmarple]

Thank you! Splendid video, eased my frustration with the bobbin, the manual doesn’t really explain it well and has lousy illustrations. You demonstrated it perfectly.

[@cwrobinson6363]

My wife and I use to sew about 27 years ago but, we forgot how to thread our Singer Sewing Machine. Now, I can finishi something that I need for my Computer Room and, his Computer Room. Thank you so much young lady.

[@HorsesRain1]

Thank you for this video! I always battle with the bobbin in sewing machines, and I was just given this older one and wanted to use it-- this really helped me get it set up!

[@jildaizzo4736]

You were wonderful...no one ever said make sure the thread holder cap was not tight or you will not be able to thread the bobbin. Thank You!

[@stewedapple]

I'm a guy and I found an old Singer sewing machine on the side of the road, too good for landfill so I took it home. It was like new but I gave it a good oil and clean anyway. Great to be able to sew up ripped clothing etc and save money at the same time. Perhaps my life has reached a new level of boring but sewing stuff seems kinda fun!

[@nicholasberkley5279]

Thank you... I love you. You saved me... from myself. My friend thanks you too. We were so sad. So sad before you came into our lives, with your magic. You see, my girlfriend is asleep, and has important business lady things to do in the morning, so I didn't want to wake her up. My friend and I really, REALLY needed to finish our chemistry project by tomorrow, and we were so scared we wouldn't be able to fix the sowing machine we borked up. I love you. We love you. Thank you. You showed us the magic of sowing machines. Seriously, thank you, you are awesome, and I wish upon you a thousand blessings. Signing off now. Goodbye.

[@ceekay2754]

You just saved my bacon w/this video. Thanks ever so! So clear, calm, simply done, explicit, dummy proof!

[@kainak5493]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm making Christmas presents for my siblings and had no idea how to use the machine. I'm surprised that some good stitching came through before this video because I had it threaded entirely incorrectly! Haha

[@isabellecabrera1721]

Only video that actually helped me.!!! Thank you soooo much.

[@Kaziklu]

I was given a machine to increase the materials I can play with recently and finally sat down to figure it out. The manual was a touch vague and not super clear... partly because I read it with male eyes instead of reading it. Thank you so much.. I messed up the tension part so everything looked good until I pressed the pedal could not figured out why it was so messed up while testing. This is the first thing to come up when I searched for help. So again thank you for making this video. :)

[@chute55]

I just bought a 1950's trident sewing machine and have no idea what i'm doing but for 20 bucks its cheap to learn on, just buy a cheap one william and that way when your a pro you can get a good one. video's like this help loads, and yes, ignore the potty mouths. thanks for posting

[@MikeH2SWL]

Best one that I have seen, yet! Thank you for your clarity...

[@vesnazelenovic8748]

That's awesome. I have exactly the same machine and was struggling since all videos are with modern machines that already have arrows showing you the way and it was not as simple for me (self-taught beginner). Thanks a lot

[@paulnewman2000]

Thanks, that was helpful. I just inherited a Singer Melody 40, it looks very similar. I have the instruction manual, but it was far easier setting the machine up by following the video. After watching, I sewed my very first project, attaching quick release buckle fastenings to webbing straps, to tie a saddlebag to a motorcycle seat.

I'm using a Singer 4830c, just a bit different from the machine in the video. I was not able to get the bobbin thread to pop through the needle area using the manual crank. Instead I pressed the foot pedal slowly and it did pop up through the spot under the needle.
