Brother CS 6000i 12 Seam Allowances

[@cakesinthecity]

I love the short and clear videos!! Great clear speaking voice as well 🙏🏻❤️

[@josephina4792]

Would you please address how to set the seam allowance when the needle position could be in many different places.

[@susanmiller8261]

Set the needle at the default setting of 00

[@emcbabe]

Finally!! a person who can answer questions about markings on a throat plate!!!!! The most frustrating thing in sewing is to try and guess seam allowances, or guess what 1,2,3,or 5 means in inches!! Bless you!!!

[@jillsauder8340]

Are you using Stitch #00 or Stitch #01 when you are using the lines on the plate as your guide?

[@josephina4792]

Jill Sauder yeah, she never addresses that important detail! And I listened to that shrieking voice for nothing.

[@bsmithuf01]

I tried both stitch 00 and 01 and 00 measured correctly.

[@rachelhobart573]

THANK YOU!!! I was trying so hard to figure where the needle is positioned.

[@susanmiller8261]

The needle position should be the default of 00

[@yvetteconklin4782]

My machine did not included the seam guide and I cannot find it online. The walking foot online does not have a seam guide. Where can I find the seam guide for CS6000i?

[@janinerosenke5463]

This is awesome. Thank you so much for these tutorials.

[@TeresaHence]

Hello may I ask where did you get the decals from

[@kasey1078]

Do you move the needle to the middle position?

[@susanmiller8261]

Needle position will be the default of 00

[@jillsauder8340]

Thanks for the helpful guide on seam allowances! I was especially interested to see that you clipped the thread using something on the machine itself. It was very brief, however and I cannot figure out what part of the machine you used. I have been stopping to pick up scissors after every seam, and would like to use this shortcut. Can you please make a video on how to clip the thread without using scissors? Thank you!

The thread cutter is that small notch sticking out the Left side of the machine. I'm thinking you've found it by now.

[@karentaylor7264]

What a terrific tip! I couldn't do the insert, though. Could you be more specific in the location of the insert. I was afraid I might break it.

[@kimberlyopasina2032]

It’s a black piece and it has a hole in it

[@jilljohnson7670]

I too had difficulty inserting but I held onto the shank with my left hand and inserted with my right hand and it does go in, very tightly though. I am so excited to have found this to help me keep my seams straight. I have been using painter’s tape as a guide all this time🙃

[@brinnyisthename3073]

where do i find a sewing guide? I have the same machine and i had a lot of items missing out of my box.

[@HeirloomCreations]

I would recommend contacting a Brother sewing machine store in your area for the items you are missing or contacting Brother directly.

[@ladory7533]

I don't understand how to get a 1/4 inch seam allowance. I put it on 01 thinking the needle would move over to the middle and I could use the right edge of the presser foot as my guide. However, right away, it cut the top thread. Is there another step involved in moving the needle to the middle of the presser foot? My tension is on 4. Thank you!

[@susanmiller8261]

Use the one for quilt piecing which is 37

[@gypsy00747]

I am sooooooo embarrassed---I just found your "Brother CS 6000i 1 Introduction & Unboxing" video...looked in my box, and found walking foot with--you guessed it---the guide!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!

[@chinewmarie]

This is wonderful thank you for this I had stopped quilting for a while and I'm looking to sew a skirt using a pattern and I did not know which presser foot to use for the five eighths inch seam allowance but now that I know that this is a guide for that!!!! guide I can just use this as a guide however what presser foot are you using with this guide? Rhanks a ton for your videos!!

[@susanmiller8261]

The presser foot to use would be the J foot.

[@gypsy00747]

I am just starting out with this machine and just subscribed to your channel. I am so elated I found you!!! I have learned so much already. I so appreciate you, and your videos, "teacher" :) Where can I purchase a guide as you are using in this video?

[@TheEMC99]

+simply lynn Hi have you found the guide? I was also wondering where to get it. If anyone else knows please give a holler. Thanks!

[@HeirloomCreations]

+Erin Carter You can contact your local Brother dealer for a seam guide if you don't have one. ~Sara~

[@TheEMC99]

+HeirloomCreations Great! Thank you so much Sara! 😊

[@elizabethbush7829]

Omg I love these series, the best

[@valeriehofmann2615]

Wow never knew the guide was for inseams. Thought that was for quilting lines

[@girlflorida67]

My seam guide will not fit. The hole is not big at all.

[@LadyMeilin]

This is so helpful. Thanks.

[@SparklingShinigami]

If you are making something without a pattern how do you figure out the seam allowance?

[@susanmiller8261]

If it is a garment seam allowance is usually 5/8. But if you're the designer you can make it whatever you want.

[@LuzReyesTercero]

Thank you! , Muchas Gracias! , very helpful... fue de gran ayuda! :)

[@d.fenestrator9529]

This video is really helpful. Please make more! :)
