Thank you, everything is well explained, but I guess I am doing something wrong because the top thread is getting out of the needle, any suggestion? Thanks.

[@queenlibra104]

Your instructions were beyond perfect!!!! You are a life saver ♥️

[@amandaconner8623]

My grandmother’s mind is that what it used to be, so I’m glad that you made this video so that i can use her machine to carry on her legacy of amazing sewing

[@SingerSewingCompany]

Aw, Amanda! We're delighted to be a part of your journey in carrying on your grandmother's legacy. It's a beautiful way to connect with her through the art of sewing. Happy sewing and keep up the good work! 🧵✨ -SR

[@Yesbee-q7l]

I got my Singer Start 1306 machine today.. And this is my first time sewing using an electric machine.. Thanks a lot for your tutorial.. Lots of Love..❤️

[@SoulTooBeautiful]

I am very new to sewing period! lol Decided it was time to pursue a new hobby and bought this sewing machine on Amazon. I have to say I am very happy to come across this video in getting started. Are there any videos on what newbies should buy as in supplies? I have absolutely no clue where to start and I would like to practice by fixing the bottom of my pants and a few shirts that have lost the thread. Super excited to start experimenting! :D

[@joeldcanfield_spinhead]

I've been intimidated by sewing for my entire life. Rebuilding car engines, building with wood, landscaping, construction, sure, fine. Bought this machine a few years ago so my wife could teach me how to sew, and somehow, it always ended up driving me mad. She'd go up and finish the project for me. TURN THE WHEEL TOWARD YOU. You say it at least 4 times, and to an experienced operator like my wife, it's obvious and intuitive and she simply forgot to mention it to me. Last project I abandoned was travel pouches for my 7 fountain pens. And now they're on my desk, done, being filled with beautiful fountain pens. Thank you sew much!

[@secondspring3478]

This is an excellent video on the Singer Start 1304 Sewing and Embroidery Machine. Thank you very much.

[@bobmurphy2811]

Thank you thank you thank you. I've never sewn before and I bought a singer sewing machine and was quite frustrated at the instructions on how to get it set up. I came across your video which is excellent. Very calm step by step and I was up and sewing before I knew it. I'm very grateful for your video. Looking forward to more of your videos.

I'm running two different colored threads on top and another color on the bottom and I love the way the bobbin is set up facing toward the user I know some of them face the other way and it's just as good but I like that bobbin other than the 99.. the only thing I would rather have is a vibrating shuttle but I have a machine with that that's 1900s technology but it works good

How about a trouble shooting video for this machine ? I recently had a bobbin issue and after I would sew something, I couldn’t pull it out enough to cut it. Also I bought the same thread ( so I thought ) and not sure it was thicker or what but my machine wouldn’t sew it. I had to adjust the bobbin tension but then ended up using a different thread all together.

[@merliealunan5017]

I.ve been using the machine for half a year now with no trouble. I decided to clean the area of the feed dog and so I had to remove the metal plate that covers that area to remove the lint that had collected. I oiled the machine light once I had brushed away all the lint. My trouble began when I screwed everything back. I must have broken ten needles thereafter. I made sure that the needle was where it should be. I made a few good lines of stitching then the needle snags and breaks. How do I correct the needle alignment? Where have I gone wrong?
