[@elsiedippenaar]

Finally! An actual beginners kit video. I’ve watched a few now and they all recommend SO MUCH STUFF!! Thank you for keeping it simple and affordable.

[@eileenmc4746]

You have ability to bring sewing skills to the masses especially guys at a reasonable cost. All levels can learn from you.

[@PrincessAloeVera]

I have that machine but haven't REALLY learned a lot about using it. I just discovered your channel today. And... I think I love you ! lol. I'm gonna make more effort to sew more, with your help! Thanks!

[@siag7107]

Instead of the chalk I use aquarell or watercolour pencil - e.g. white on dark fabric. It washes out and I can sharpen it for fine marking 🙂

[@DjAlexGaytan.]

Just finished your vid about the heavy duty singer sewing machine, this is my second video I watch from you. Thanx for helping us beginners, I just order my sewing machine, Don't have it yet but here I am all excited about learning...

[@HellaReckless]

Been looking for a channel like this for so long. You’re the goat

[@barbaraopitz6244]

Learned to sew in 9th grade!! Its a lifetime skill!! You are awesome to keep this skill alive! Your teaching is spot on! Thank You!

[@eszterfabian9379]

Soft crayons are the worst, sometimes it won't come out 😬 Our best teacher used to tell us to only use leftovers of barsoap. It's the best and always works. 😊 Anyway, great video 👍🏻 keep up the good work.

[@mihaelazlate4729]

Finallyyyyyy some reaal useful tips, i wish you the whole good stuff you want in your life

[@kingkazmaag7963]

These videos help so much can’t wait to see what else you come up with, I have really been looking for a channel like this so thank you 🙏🏻

[@HellaReckless]

Facts. I’m so hype

[@stevenml5748]

Thank you, thinking of getting into sewing as a hobby. Your videos are helpful and inspiring. If I make the leap, I will definitely order your kits.

[@genevievebrady1945]

thank you, this is great! I had no idea. Loved the spiral. I am making a Tsuno Bukuru bag next week, and I cant wait to make bias tape. Thanks again.

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

I have alot of old gear and bags I need to fix! Thank you for the inspiration! Need to keep busy in retirement!

[@Its_ceemaxo]

Thanks for the knowledge ❤❤❤

[@tezzniaappels8455]

Love your videos ❤️

[@aldoibarra6464]

your channel inspires me a lot, thank you 🙏🏿

[@GloryAllan]

That's the goal, let's start sewing together 🙏🏻

[@ayishamiller4960]

Great tutorial

[@tomw6535]

very clear and kept my confidence that i could do this and well...thank you

[@pureaquafina4732]

i recently bought a brother ls14 as a first machine. it works easy for heavy duty just a little slow

[@classycaffeinated4846]

Awesome video

[@swiftaccuratemaintenanceof171]

If you have one of those smaller seam rippers that he has, you can add the cover to the bottom to extend the grip!! 2:52

[@kevinmonceaux2101]

Try pins with glass heads. Their heads won't melt if accidentally ironed.

[@M-hc9xm]

The machine is an awesome one. It's not just newbies that like it! It's a workhorse that will do so much and without a lot of putzing. No need for fancy computerized machines for the vast number.of.peoplr who sew.

[@Luci_amana]

Those round fabric rulers are for pattern drawing on paper. It is needed if you are making your own pattern on paper based off your or other people's measurements

[@Mad4400]

My most essential tool is a pair of fine point tweezers. Makes threading the needle much easier and quicker than the jig included with my machine. Also great for getting to those bits of thread that get stuck around moving parts when you've had a jam. Oh, and strong magnet for my pins means I never have to pick them all up off the floor because I knocked the pin container off the work bench.... again.

[@GloryAllan]

The number of times I've knocked the container of pins over and had to pick up pins... smh I need a magnet like you haha good tip 🙏🏻

[@noelmcguinnesssee4929]

What type of tweezers would you recommend?

[@Mad4400]

@@noelmcguinnesssee4929 Some straight superfine like the leftmost ones in this image: i.imgur.com/7y6dghP.jpg

[@dinismartins4431]

[@frederikstr9828]

i did my first good tote bag yesterday :)

[@viviancovington7813]

Very helpful

[@GloryAllan]

Glad to hear that

[@IssaSia]

Do you know what I like best in your channel? ...... it's your sewing studio which is very neat, minimalist and I intend to create my own sewing room as neat as you have! I know how messy this sewing hobby is, and so before I can start my very 1st project with my Singer Denim 4432 (which I intended to copy yours!) I'm keeping my time to research on the essentials that I'll be needing from tools to trash bin!

[@ellerose6835]

Excellent video! I wish I saw this before I bought my other singer 😂. Could’ve saved a little bit on the heavy duty 4423

[@2doorslesswhores160]

Wish i could subscribe 100times Thank you bro!!!!

[@GloryAllan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏻

[@majidss]

can you teach us how to make welt pockets for jackets. all your tutorials are so easy to follow.

[@RLSteffler]

I like how your videos have part numbers 👍

[@geaemilieaa.nicolaysen8011]

A pro tip if you already have a pair of scissors you could use but they are a little blunt, you can just cut some silver foil and they’ll cut fabrics just like butter😊

[@RLSteffler]

Silver foil? I tried with aluminium and saw 0 improvement

[@planetcaravan2925]

​@@RLSteffler i use gold or platinum

[@kazkazzie3906]

Hello, this is a good video on sewing essentials. It would have been nice to know abit more about the Singer sewing machine and why you specifically chose this machine to sew with. Do you use any other machines?

[@romyru.crieta6820]

Thank you for the free pdf pattern. Looking forward to see more video tutorials with free patterns. 💗

[@shellisaunders1438]

Try using glass head pins, don't melt when ironed.

[@proudasiangirl576]

I love your channel. You always get to the BLUF (bottom line up front). None of that nonsense shenanigans like obnoxious music or some dumb dance moves at your intro. You speak in such an easy to understand manner. Much respect to you that you help break the gender barrier and represent for men in this hobby/interest. Sewing should be both unisex although mostly women tend to gravitate towards this hobby/interest. After all, both men and women wear clothes right?

[@taraiza878]

Glass head pins don’t melt. I always use them near the iron.

[@withanelekay5673]

At this point, I'm just here to look at your cute self😍😍😍 but otherwise you're really a great teacher, love your channel👌

[@winebox]

The best thing that I've done is buy a used machine from a local sewing store. I never liked the owner or some of his sales staff but would occasionally look around or buy a vacuum cleaner part. One day a lady that was just hired and really friendly showed me some machines and took a long time with one particular one that they just got in. It was over ten years ago and cost $300 and came with all of it's accessories and instruction booklet. Automatic thread cutting was a life saver when we made a dinosaur halloween costume last minute.

[@dpenny18]

How often do you maintenance your machine? Like oiling the machine?

[@vincentlee5446]

Damn, I might need to get the exact same machine, Singer goes too hard 😳😤

[@GloryAllan]

Upgrade and get a Juki, I'll trade you 😊

[@cance7984]

Let me add a sewing gauge in there for symmetrical hems, evenly placed buttonholes, and more.

[@AllHailMsVandal]

Please review the Butterfly JHQ6032A

[@floridabeardedwoodworker]

Thanks for your videos I am a new sewer and can't believe i am sewing but it is just like wood working just different... I am looking forward to my journey into sewing ... LOOKS LIKE I WILL NEED TO BUILD A SEWING STATION FOR MY EXTRA BEDROOM ANY ADVISE?

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

That's funny! I've been a cabinet maker all of my life and now I am retiring. I've also decided to take up building things out of fabrics. It's cheap to get into and I think I should catch on quickly. No more slinging 4 X 8 sheets around or breathing in dust and paint fumes. Wish I had a spare room to work in...

[@benjaelee]

"I only use inches" 3:40 *uses metric measurement*

[@esther3283]

your Chanel makes me feel like i made it

[@tylercarranza9187]

where do you get your fabrics from?

[@blufaerie]

If you want/prefer to use pins, get glass head pins. They don’t melt.

[@MrsLana92]

"pins are sharp and make me nervous" I don't know why but that made me giggle

[@GloryAllan]

It’s true!!!! They are dangerous 🥲

[@juantartico]

Can you do a review on Ali Express tools?

[@vernamontgomery8987]

What made you want to sew?

[@georgerodriguez1581]

How do you print the patterns ?

[@josethehologram5006]

I like your tool box. Where can I get it?!

[@meribenimozhui165]

What's the size of your cutting map?

[@razaangamieldien1790]

Which size scissor is best 9, 10 or 12 inch

[@ryankernus]

What about thread? Any good all purpose thread you recommend?

[@gdedmonds2001]

The weight of scissors does matter. Just picking them up here and there you can’t tell a difference. After working with them for a while you can feel the difference. I constantly drop my heavy scissors, I don’t use them much.

[@Heirscollective]

I hope you make a tut on a cut and sew T-shirt

[@GloryAllan]

Got a few tutorials lined up but t-shirts will definitely be done at some point 🙏🏻

[@reymartinez1175]

Where did you get the little yellow storage on the left side of the video?

[@GloryAllan]

It's been passed down in the fam, not sure where to get them anymore!

[@buddyholly4672]

That's such a cool thumbnail. One of the best I've ever seen! I'm glad its not that dumb, surprised face.

[@GloryAllan]

LOL sometimes us creators gotta do that surprised face, it helps for clicks (as cringe as it can be).

[@elainneeeee]

what desk do you use? it looks so wide!

[@GloryAllan]

Ikea 😊

[@maxvanhaagen7009]

You could use a bar of soap instead of chalk.

[@joosh_uwa]

man i got that same yellow kit box lmaoo

[@GloryAllan]

Hahaha no wayyy. Love that 🏆
