How to Use a Sewing Machine - With Evil Ted Smith and Tock Custom!

[@annaj1927]

Thank you! My kids and I are learning to machine sew and without your tutorials I probably would have given up when we opened the box- it can be so overwhelming! Thank you for making it simple and enjoyable!

[@TockCustom]

Excellent, really appreciate you watching. Hope all of these are helpful :D Happy Holidays!

I was a seamstress making costumes long before Ted, but Ted's channel and mentorship with foam and fabrication has brought my costume game to a level that 12 year old me would think is the absolute coolest! I owe him. He says I don't but I've repeatedly said I do. I'm having the best time making exactly what I want to make.

[@TockCustom]

He's so damn humble about everything too, he's inspired a whole generation of cosplayers and artists, and it just doesn't slow him down. Quite an honor to work on anything with this dude :)

[@arthurleino]

Good job Ted! Sewing machine I learned on was a Singer Industrial. Learned in the Navy at NAS Whidbey Island AOM Paraloft.

[@TockCustom]

Wow, that's a wild way to learn how to sew! Thanks for watching too, hope you're making some cool stuff this year :)

[@bonniegrace6497]

Because of your video I just bought a brother ST150HDH. Can't wait to get it delivered. Thanks so much.

[@MellieMcK]

I keep threatening to start a sewing project - this is the boost I need to pick back up!

[@TockCustom]

Awesome, I really hope you find something cool to work on. Making something new always gives me a boost :)

[@missrudy500]

As a beginner I love this video. He asked so many questions that I had and you answered them so nicely.

[@JS-lr7dc]

Also me every time I thread a sewing machine: Okay, I gotta pull this ******* thread... Oh for ***** sake!

[@TockCustom]

Hahaha, right!? I wanted to keep this as authentic as possible :)

[@JS-lr7dc]

​​@@TockCustom Jumpcut to y'all unpicking a ******* sleeve seam because the ******* *** **** ***** grain line buckled and now it looks like you've got puffy ******* princess sleeves, all the while you're eyeing the needle and thread knowing that you would be done by now, and it would be perfect if you just ******* backstitched it by hand in the first place.

[@Brandon-zo9ly]

Just discovered your channel a few days ago, loving it. One thing I would love to see are some sewing repair videos. I have a pile of jeans and shirts and other items that I know could be repaired if I knew how.

[@chriseastty2874]

Was gifted a sewing machine a few weeks ago, so far so good with making my cosplay for next month. This channel looks like it's going to help alot

[@TockCustom]

Oh excellent! Thx for checking this out, reach out if you have any questions along the way :)

[@karenbrunette6314]

Great Job Evil Ted!

[@TockCustom]

He did amazing! Thanks so much for watching dude :)

[@bobcromeans9100]

Excellent job. Been watching Tock Custom videos and ready to sew up some nice pieces. Good luck, everyone, and thanks to Tock Custom.

[@dapperprops]

Well this was just a freaking delight to watch! Tutorial power duo here! 😁

[@TockCustom]

Such a blast dude, thx for checking this out

[@WolchBot]

Great tutorial, I know it is not part of using a sewing machine but might have been nice to show how to rip out a seam that didn't go right, which will inevitably happen to sewists of all skill levels.

[@TockCustom]

Thank you so much! Actually, that would be a great idea for a dedicated video. I always like to showcase important tasks and techniques, good thinking :D

[@nava8529]

❤awesome video it really toke a little bit of the fear off … I feel this is a necessary skill to have… thank you

[@ebonysunshine]

Evil Ted's surprise regarding the blade melted me into a big ol' puddle!

[@TockCustom]

He is way too adorable, such a good dude :)

[@Malkycosplays]

Great job, Ted! Hey Tock could you make a set in sleeve tutorial?

[@TockCustom]

Yeah he did great! You mean like, 'sewing a tube sleeve into an arm hole' type of thing?

[@Malkycosplays]

@@TockCustom yeah

[@dogsareawomansbestfriend]

I hope I can get my sewing machine to work now! I wish you could come here and instruct me. What I am taught, I keep it mind. Like dogs, puppies, and squirrels!

[@TockCustom]

Well I hope you give it another shot so you can make all the dog, puppy, and squirrel costumes!

[@WonderflexFosshape]

ENJOYED ....well done by a real dynamic duo...... My mom was a "home economics" teacher back in 50's, so not much for store bought clothes for me as a youngster. Sewing still not my skill set.

[@ke8vga195]

Hey Tock! I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on making a men's suit vest, I've been interested in making some but not sure what fabric to look for would greatly help watching you make one, just a suggestion, thanks!

[@stephanierobbins2538]

❤ I love what you just showed the video helps out a lot I wish I could have someone like you to help me with my searching I'm having problems I have a banana it's a old sergeant but it's mine thanks for the input it would be nice if you could show some more things how to thread a searcher thank you again

[@alexisherrera447]

Could a trimmer be added to the st150hdh? Can adjusting settings to ST150HDH also clean up seams / overlock seams?…. New to this and learning the machine 😊

[@COWBOYPREACHER13]

✌

[@bonniegrace6497]

Help. My st150hdh just locked up. There's no thread tangled. What do I do next

[@christianhernannnnn]

badass bro, greeting from fcking MEXICO CITY (CDMX) CHILANGO LIFE WATCHING ENGLISH STUFF TO IMPROVE MY INGLES JAJAJ SALUDOS MI PINCHE ÑERO!!!!!!

[@TockCustom]

Thanks so much for watching buddy! Cheers to you and hope you're making some great new stuff :D

[@Chezzplayzz]

miss ya on twitch

[@StrahaoftheRace]

Waiting for him to stick his finger near the blade.....lol

[@TockCustom]

Wait... is it actually possible to cut yourself on a serger blade? I've never done it, maybe I should have warned him lol

[@countrycitybeach]

He only used one hand to feed the fabric. He needs to use two hands
