  • Beginner video! I had to buy a new machine so, I unboxed it for you! I take you through the process of setting it up right from the box to threading the needle. I absolutely love Brother sewing machines! I have been a loyal customer for 20 years. (NO I am not being paid to say that!) I just find them easy to use and they also keep enhancing their models. I have never had a problem with them! I'm not an expert and obviously, I don't know everything but.... I get by. Sharing what I know. I cannot help you with other brands of sewing machines; Janome, Juki, Singer, etc. Hopefully you can find a tutorial on those but I'm a "Brother" gal! Welcome to the sewing world! Your manual would probably have a lot more answers than I do. This is just my experience from having used several of this brand because I sew a lot - often; I tend to stick with them.
    I also have a video where you can learn to fill the bobbin and re-thread your machine -the way I do it. Check them out here: • How to Fill the Bobbin...

    Hi, my name is Sharon, I'm Farley new to sewing, but I've got the basics down I think, I hope. I bought this machine, and knew I'd have to watch a video on it, and I looked at quite a few videos, and still never learned a thing really. I came across your tutorial, and now I can actually thread it. I never knew what foot pedals were, till I watched your videos. To make a long story short, your one tutorial that I watched, helped me learn what I needed to know, in a few minutes. I wasted hours on other tutorials and was frustrated. I truly appreciate how you explain everything in detail, and step by step. Like I said, I'm new to sewing, I'm excited to see what I can do. If you have the time and don't mind messaging me back, I would so much appreciate if you can give me any advice, or if you have tutorials for beginners, I would so much the link. Again thank you for sharing your video, and thank you for taking the time to read this llllooonnnggg, lol, message. Thanks again.

    @2:49. The instruction Manuel is incredibly important . I picked up some lime green gingham baby check curtains , & made a skirt at almost age 12. I’ve been sewing ever since. And I just turned 65. I’ve had 5 Brother sewing machine’s and a Brother surger. After learning I’m a Singer sewing machine. I still find myself reaching for the Manuel occasionally for clarification. Please don’t scare newbies off of using a machine instruction manuel, when necessary. They are invaluable. I always get a new plastic folder, and keep the manuel, and warranty papers together. Happy sewing, it’s a wonderful, satisfying hobby.

      Hello. Thanks for watching. Life long sewing individual, nice! Like you, I love Brother machines. I currently own 4 and 1 Singer - along with a Brother embroidery machine. I, personally, find Brothers easy to navigate and have never had any issue with them. It is definitely NOT my intention to get people not to read their manuals. Adults can read. Everyone can make their own decisions. It was not my intention, nor goal, to tell people what to do. I am just confident with Brother machines since I have taken some apart already! : ) Like purchasing anything from IKEA, yes manuals are needed by some!

    It's Saturday November 24 2019 and I've had my machine for a couple of months now and it just sat unopened the entire time. I think I was a little hesitant because I thought learning how to sew was gonna be harder than I thought. After reviewing your video I can say with confidence I am now I'm ready to get started and although I know I will make a mistake or two I don't mind :-). I have your video to refer back to. Thank you for a helpful, informative, easy to follow and understand video. I hope there are more. I found out this machine does have the automatic needle thread too YAY!!!

    • @SewnByNikki

I have had other Brother products which I loved and they were very reliable. Your continued purchase of many Brother models convinced me to go with Brother. Thanks for a great video. You ROCK !

      Hi James! I truly love Brother. I have had several of their machines, each time, upgrading to a higher machine. I also have one of their embroidery machines. I am self taught so as I continue to sew, I need additional features. There parts are sturdy and you can use universal needles and bobbins in their machines. I have students that have had Singers and they always have tension issues and bobbins are finicky .... I don't like the stitching on the beginner models either... that is just my personal opinion after attempting to fix my students'. Thanks for stopping by.

Learning straight lines is half the battle and I teach you how to master that in some of the earlier videos while sewing projects and looking at the presser foot. Just sew. You will get comfortable with your machine and be able to show your friend what you have accomplished when you mail her a special package!! (Hint, hint!) : )
