  • How to use Stitch Selector Brother Sewing Machine If you have a Brother Sewing Machine amzn.to/2dRSToB with knobs or dials to turn to select your stitches, here is an easy tutorial on how to use the stitch selector. Make sure your needle is in the up position. The dark gray dial or knob closest to the machine is the stitch length selector. Use the smaller outer dial or knob to turn to the number of the stitch you want from the stitch selector guide shown on the machine. If you want straight stitching, number 2, turn the dial to 2. If you want the ones marked SS TURN THE GRAY STITCH DIAL TO SS then turn the outer wheel to those numbers. The chart on the machine should show SS in the row of stitches that need to be set at SS. Turn it back to 3 or 4 and set it to straight stitching selection 2 when you are done so it is ready to go next time. The 2 stitch selector dials are easy to use once you understand how they work. The Brother Sewing Machine XL2610 or 2600 is a great basic machine for beginners. Learn how to use your basic Brother sewing machine. Simple sewing tips can help you use and enjoy your sewing machine.

    Granny I watched you in 2020 when I started using my brother 2600. You advice helped me to work with my sewing machine when I was having problems. I started sewing to make face masks for family. Now a year and. A half and 300 face masks and 40 baby bibs later I rewatch your UA-cam and learn more about my sewing machine and sewing to do a more professional sewing job. Thank you for all your help.

      @arimacem 5 років тому +3

      Hi, the SS on this machine stands for Stretch Stitches, technically SS #14 is the straight stretch stitch so that lady wasn't entirely wrong, hahahahaha! You want to use the SS ones to sew on any fabric that stretches, if you don't you will be popping your stitches all day, every day whenever you go to put on that cotton jersey T-shirt you made for yourself as the neckline and sleeves won't stretch properly with non-stretch stitiches used to sew them!

    What do the dials on the top do? I know they have something to do with tension, but no matter what I do the bottom of my fabric (it's a plain, thin, cotton-type one) keeps advancing on its passion for developing birds' nests. I think once the machine sort of began to get tangled (more like loose, though) and hen straightened out but then I adjusted the dials and it failed again...

      @annakramar5088 2 роки тому +1

      Dial on the top left: Upper tension-control dial (0-9). This controls the tension of the upper thread.
      Dial to the top right Stitch Width (0-5): Numbers marked on the dial represent the stitch width. The higher the number, the wider the stitch. Note: When the Straight or Triple Stretch Stitch is selected, the needle position can be changed from left to right by adjusting the stitch width dial.🪡

      @annakramar5088 2 роки тому

      Dial on the top left: Upper tension-control dial (0-9). This controls the tension of the upper thread.
      Dial to the top right Stitch Width (0-5): Numbers marked on the dial represent the stitch width. The higher the number, the wider the stitch. Note: When the Straight or Triple Stretch Stitch is selected, the needle position can be changed from left to right by adjusting the stitch width dial.
      Stitch Length Dial: Depending on the selected stitch, you may need to
      adjust the stitch length for best results.
      The numbers marked on the stitch length dial represent
      the stitch length in millimeters (mm) (1/25 inch).
      THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE
      STITCH. With the “0” setting, material is not fed. This is
      used when sewing a button.
      The “F” range is for making a satin stitch (close zigzag
      stitch), which is used for making buttonholes and
      decorative stitches. The position needed for making the
      satin stitch varies according to the material and thread
      being used. To determine the exact dial position, first
      test the stitch and length settings on a scrap piece of
      fabric to observe the feeding of the material.🪡

    Hi, I have a brother xl2600i and I'm wanting to finish the edges of my dress since I don't have a serger and I saw a tutorial that suggested using the overedge stitch. I have a blind stitch foot that came with my machine which has an L engraved onto it. Should I use this foot and place my stitch setting onto 16 or 17 for overlock stitching? I've never used this foot before but wondering if that will help guide my fabric through and keep it on the edge? If so do you have a tutorial that shows how to use this foot? Thank you for your help in advance :)

    • @AlaskaGranny
      @AlaskaGranny  5 років тому +1

      I do not have that foot, so cannot share any tips. I don't have a serger, either. I trim the edges with pinking sheers, or do a simple zigzag along any edges I think may unravel. I hope you find what you are looking for to help you finish your dress nicely.

      Hi Joanne, You will NOT want to use the blind hem stitch foot for finishing seams. Here are some great videos on how to use the overedge/overcast foot and the proper stitches. One by Singer: ua-cam.com/video/qVczdRK_K6s/v-deo.html (the overedge foot is at 8:41 but the whole video is great to see all the feet and what they do); another: ua-cam.com/video/mc5Y8noP0IE/v-deo.html and lastly, ua-cam.com/video/dUUxIPxHWI4/v-deo.html . Also, Professor Pincushion, here on UA-cam, has several great tutorials on sewing. Here's one on finishing seams with or without using fancy feet: ua-cam.com/video/cfYI2cT7Qwg/v-deo.html I think you will find these useful! Cheers!

    1. Tension Wheel ( upper from left side first wheel) is on 5
    2. Next wheel ( upper left second wheel) : 5
    3. Gray wheel : 4
    4. Outside wheel next to the gray wheel : 2

    • @AlaskaGranny
      @AlaskaGranny  7 років тому +1

      Do you have the front dial set on 2? Is the back dial set on 3 or 4? Take out your bobbin and make sure you have placed it with the thread coming toward the front. Take out the thread and re thread the machine. Make sure you lower the needle to catch the bobbin thread, and pull both threads to the back. Make a long tail on the threads and hold them when you begin to stitch. You have to have both threads from the top and the bottom together for the machine to stitch them together. You can also try rewinding the bobbin and starting over. I have had the machine not seem to sew when I began a project before, and tried these steps. I took the threads out and re threaded the machine. It worked for me to start over. Who knows why, but it worked and the machine sewed fine. Try these tips, and let me know if it works. Good luck!

      I am not sure why your stitches wouldn't change. Try turning it a few times in case it is stuck. I know my machine sometimes sits idle for months, and may need encouragement to get going again. Make sure the needle is raised completely when trying to change the stitch. I wish I had a sure answer. Let me know if you have any luck, and I hope it is stuck in a basic stitch so you can at least use your machine.

    • @AlaskaGranny

      Take the needle completely out, and put in another one. Tighten it with the little screwdriver. See if the new needle will work. The needle may look straight, but was damaged in shipping. Let me know if that helps.

      Dial on the top left: Upper tension-control dial (0-9). This controls the tension of the upper thread.
      Dial to the top right Stitch Width (0-5): Numbers marked on the dial represent the stitch width. The higher the number, the wider the stitch. Note: When the Straight or Triple Stretch Stitch is selected, the needle position can be changed from left to right by adjusting the stitch width dial.🪡
