    Right off the bat, you cleared up two points of confusion for me! I had no idea I could pull up the spool pin and was wondering why they put such a short pin in! DUH! I have actually been sewing with this machine for a couple of months now...with the pin down, LOL. The second thing that was throwing me was whether to put the thread under the small metal bar on the top of the machine, or leave it over. I've been struggling to put it under. It doesn't do any harm having it that way...but it's frustrating to do it! I had the rest of it right, thank heavens! You probably won't believe this, given my amateur mistakes, but I've been sewing since I was six and making my clothes since age 12. Of course, machines were a lot different back then...I'm 74 now...but I've learned two valuable lessons here. 1) You're never too old to learn (LOL), and 2) It pays to be internet savvy. The biggest lesson, however, is to always, always, watch tutorials by April before attempting anything new :) Thank you for being here!

    I’ve been sewing on this machine for over a year, and for some reason today I am having so much trouble getting it threaded and having the two threads work together. You have taught me more about my machine in this video than I’ve ever known. I learned about six new things, just from this video.You’re a fantastic teacher and I hope you keep making videos. Also brother sewing machines should be paying you….. because you are the best instructor I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.

    GREAT close-up views! Thank you. I haven't used a sewing machine since I was in my 40s and now, almost 40 years later, I found this most helpful. I especially liked the close-up of that little wire "spring" within the thread-guide groove. Very clear directions. Nice voice btw!

    @5star.riyah-bby 2 роки тому +1

    Absolutely THE BEST VIDEOS ON this machine on UA-cam , Tysm, I’ve watched a few..and still felt lost before coming across your directions which is so very clear, easy to follow and just takes the whole stress of setting up the machine away. The way you show details in every step is greatly appreciated. I’m very petite and looking forward to tailoring my own clothes as paying for that service adds up when basically everything you buy needs to be tailored.

    Hey again! Once again you saved me! Got lower threaded & it wouldn't pull up! I knew I followed your instructions exactly, but it was the bobbin. When I got my flashlight I could see right away that the end of the thread was just laying there on top off the bobbin, so I watched your bobbin threading tutorial, & prayed! I have to use a needle threader, so all this takes a while,but it pulled up s smooth as a whistle. Now I start with a straight hem. Love yea, cool,calm April!!

    Thank you so much for this video.Just bought a Brother LX3817G and is still in the box. I need a lot of courage to open it up and start sewing. I had a really basic, straight stich mini machine that my daughter just broke the power cord.I get scared when I see the fancy machines with touch buttons,screens and so on.I'm not so much into technology,so I always go for easy to handle,plain,basic things.This Brother machine seems close to what I'm looking for.
