@@KendallScavella906 I wish you a sucessful treatment and speedy recovery love ❤ I probably did write it just for you because in some way or the other you needed to see this and know you're not alone 😌 I hope you enjoy sewing up a storm
I'm a self-taught sewer. In 60 years, I've made bridal gowns, men's suits, drapery, and upholstery. After that, let me say that your tutorials are the absolute best. How I wish your lessons had been available before. I enjoy every minute, of watching you. Thank you. And you are so charming.
I've been going around like a headless chicken trying to find sewing course and the one I found are not up to date with information or answering on time. So now if this lady's lessons are as effective as you say then I've found my teacher. ❤
Learning to use a sewing machine was one of the smartest and most economical things I've ever learned to do! People don't realize how important the fit of your clothes is! Thanks for the great videos!
I've been watching "sewing for beginners" videos on and off for years, and always get so frustrated as the teachers use terminology that beginners wouldn't know as they don't sew yet. I always feel lost and learn nothing. This is the first video I found that ACTUALLY speaks to beginners! I love it, thank you for the simplicity and detailed explanations!
Just because 'teachers' are experienced and may have numerous certificates and be brilliant at what they do, doesn't mean they are good at imparting knowledge and information to other people.This is a brilliant video, well presented, and easy to understand. Thank you.
I'm so poor in a lost village in a poor country but thank god I can speak English , I decided to learn sewing and have my own small business one day or at least make my own clothes . I decided thu, oct 26 , and I'll start soon with a course and your videos . I wanted to have this comment here so I will never forget it . I'll come one day here and tell u how it went .
My mom used to be a seamstress. Sadly she died when I was 10. I never realised how LUCKY I was to have my own clothes stitched by mom. I miss her a lot and I want to learn this just coz I feel I'll be more closer to her. I miss her so much and I wish I had her.to teach me.
So sorry to hear that, sending you lots of love. I am sure you will be able to connect with her taking up this hobby and I am certain she would be proud of you for doing so. Big hug! Aneka x

I failed my sewing course in highschool becuase my teacher just told everyone to follow instructions from the textbook. She never showed us how to sew or use the sewing machine. So alot of my peers and I struggled. I now have the confidence to learn sewing again. I went through so much anxiety being in that class room. Thankyou so much!
I failed my high school sewing course even though I was already making clothes at home, because she had us going round in circles making table mats with different machine stitches, and I was bored to tears. Sometimes it's more about bad teaching than being bad at something.
I'm here in September, 2024. Thank you for this opportunity. I have always wanted to learn how to sew but being a single mum with 4 children really took some of my dream. My last son just got into college. So, I think it's time I live my dream. I can't wait to start sewing 😊😊😊
I have just purchased a sewing machine for my daughter for her birthday. I know nothing about sewing and thought her and I could learn together. your tutorials are so easy to follow and understand!
Thanks for the great explanation on how to use a sewing machine! Learned so much. as I am a beginner. You are a good teacher! Please recomend a nice sewing machine for a daily home use. Thank you again and going to watch all your videos on how to learn to sew! 😉😉😊
Thank you for your excellent tutorials. At 56, male, and can do literally everything in the house including complex DIY, sewing and the sewing machine have eluded me. I hope I could master the basics before I turn 65 ! I have more confidence now with your help. Thank you again. Subscribed.
I'm starting a new business, and have never used a sewing machine in my life. Your video is so well done and explained, that I'm feeling confident in my ability to do this!
I absolutely love that these are videos for actual beginners. They don't assume I know anything at all (which indeed I don't), so I'm loving this. I had no idea about the thread or the needles or any of it, and I love that you're going through everything bit by bit. A lot of "beginner"-videos I see sort of assume you already know how to thread your machine, so I cannot stress enough how helpful these videos are. Sod the haters and keep at it. Oh and also, English isn't my first language, and while I am pretty much fluent, the spoken language can occasionally be hard to understand, but you are speaking clearly and are well articulated, so thank you for that too.
Wow, I've never seen someone explain something with such clarity. It's so easy to follow. Great job. Thank you. I've picked this up as a new hobby. Can't wait to actually make something.
I'm going to learn to sew because my granddaughters clothes are too expensive and not cute enough, so I'm going to make them myself. Thank you for helping me
I have been seeing for 50+ years and will be helping someone else to learn to use her machine. Your video is excellent! I know I have picked up shortcuts and maybe even some bad habits over the years, so you have helped me to prepare to teach the basics to someone with no experience. I believe that EVERYONE should be able to sew enough to accomplish some basic mending and alterations and have a basic machine at the ready. Knowing how to sew has been a tremendous blessing in my life and the lives of my family, and the ability to create clothing and other items to keep or gift to others is an empowering and creative experience. You are doing a great job and I am thoroughly enjoying your accent too!
I was searching for a very good channel to teach me and give me advice in sewing. Nice voice, nice personality, plain explanation, understandable English … I found all I was searching for, thank you a lot!
Made to Sew Thank You very much! Just got my first new sewing machine in 30 years and this tutorial will help me to fill the bobbin and know how to begin sewing with my new Brother "Project Runway" machine. Technology sure has improved! Peace and Health to all who enjoy sewing out there! Great fun!
Really pleased you enjoyed the tutorials Helen. I wish you all the best with your sewing & new sewing machine. Thank you for posting such a nice comment. Aneka
Beginner here! I have struck gold with this site! I purchased Viking Emerald 116 a couple of years ago and have been struggling to get information. This is hands down the best, most detailed, easy to follow instructions I have come across!
Hi Robin :) Thank you for your lovely comment and words. I am so glad you found my tutorial useful and easy to follow. There will be lots more coming soon! Aneka x
Thank you, very clear and precise video, no blurry or jerky camera shots. Wonderful..! If you ever have a spare moment in the day, the back seat of my Harley is available, and lunch is on me. Keep'em coming. Best regards.

I’ve just finished my first sewing project and feel so damn proud of myself… I also lost count of how many times I had to rip seems, re-pin, and re-sew things 😅. So like I learned a lot! But maybe I don’t have to learn it all the hard way, thanks so much for these videos 😊
I am enjoying watching your video. Although I'm no beginner, it never hurts to watch and to have a refresher course now and again. It helps me to relearn and to do a recap on the things I already know. Incidentally, I especially enjoyed this first video for a special reason. I own and use the exact same model sewing machine as you used here, the Husqvarna Viking, Emerald 116. These are true mechanical sewing machines, which is exactly what I need. Moreover, these are real workhorse sewing machines with plenty of power to spare. I found early on that if I am sewing thick or heavyweight fabrics, owning and using an even feed walking foot really does the machine wonders. Having that added motion that works in tandem with the feed dogs of the sewing machine really makes life a lot easier and far less complicated. I occasionally need to repair my denim jeans or my work pants, and the dense layers makes the machine struggle and bog down. The Even Feed Foot eliminates most of the struggles and really cleans up my work. I'm just a novice with the sewing machine, but my skills seriously borders on those of a beginner. I subscribed to your channel in the hope of learning a little bit more about my sewing machine. Very well planned and a very well thought out video demo and presentation, thank you. Oh, and I really love your beautiful eyes. Greetings from Homer Alaska.
Hello! So lovely that you have enjoyed this video. Wonderful to hear that you have the same sewing machine too. I use this machine in lots of my videos. I had 4 of them (still do) in the UK for my classes; they are great work horse machines. Happy to tackle pretty much every fabric! Wishing you all the best in Alaska. I hope you had a nice summer. I am currently living in the North of Australia, tropical weather so it’s hot all the time! Missing the colder weather.
I just got my Emerald 118 and this will be the first time on sweing. I've loved your tutorial and the way you explain and position the camera. Lucky me having met you in UA-cam. Thanks a lot!!
Hi Mary, wow thank you so much for your lovely words. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you in some small way. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing machine. Aneka x
I learned to sew from 6th grade to 11th grade, but it's been decades since. I've always wanted to sew again, but never had the time. Now I've lost my sewing skills. Thank you for the refresher. So mamy memories. I subscribed!
Wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for your support. Your advice has helped me achieve 8 consecutive wins - a huge milestone for me. Your guidance has given me the confidence to keep pushing forward
I want to start my own business and I was going to pay for a class to learn how to sew but I thought I should start with these free courses online first before going to them. I just want to thank you so much for this free course!! I am so grateful!!
Miss, you're truly doing God's work out here! Very much appreciated. Also read that I'm not the only one doing this for mental health reasons.. Happy to discover this community 🙇🏼♂️🙏
You are a blessing . I just bought a new sewing machine. The instructions on the manual showed me flames . Your video helped me from step 1. Thanks a lot
Best sewing tutorial for beginners ever! I've never touched a sewing machine a day in my life, and I was fully engaged and aware throughout the whole segment. I may be able to do this. :)
Omg... these tutorial videos are absolutely the best for all newbies. Now I know how to sow in a machine, finally. After many years of putting it in back burner, bcz I just didn't spare the time and was afraid of spending the $ on a machine and possibly not going through with it, I did it. These videos are extremely detailed and at a good speed for someone like me, who knew nothing about sowing. My machine is Singer so slightly different in only a couple of things, but with the manual at hand and these videos, wow, im just beyond words. Im so thankful for your videos. They are professional, clear, detailed they are the most helpful I found.
I purchased an Emerald 116 sewing machine four years ago and was having problems with the stitches. In this class, I learned I was not threading the machine incorrectly. I forgot most of what I was taught in the class when I purchased my machine several years ago. Your class was exactly what I needed.
So glad I found your channel. My mother used to make EVERYTHING for me but never took the time to learn and she went home to Heaven and now I’m lost. 😩 BUT, I AM DETERMINED to learn. I know she would be proud. Just subscribed 😊😊😊 And, going to keep it a surprise and show all my sewing sisters once I am able to make something on my own.
Such a lovely sorry Liz. Thanks so much for sharing. I am certain your mother would be proud, how lovely that you are following in her footsteps. I wish you all the best. Aneka x
This is my first time viewing your videos and I am thrilled at how clear, precise and descriptive you are in your instructions! I am excited to begin this sewing journey with you along with me! Thanks for posting these.
Debbie Thomas Hi Debbie, thank you for your lovely comment. I am so pleased you like the videos and my style of teaching. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing journey, I am so pleased I have been able to help. Aneka x
Just received a sewing machine as a gift however have absolutely no experience with operating one whatsoever !! Thank the Lord for your wonderful beginners tutorial !!! :) :) :) Have been viewing it over and over again and seem to be getting it !! :) :)
I've been sewing since I was a young teenager and I'm now 62 and yet I've still learnt things from this video, thank you. As for the Gutermann thread, I've been using them for years and never clicked about the colours.
I've always wanted to learn how to sew, but never had the opportunity (they don't offer it in school anymore) or the time. Now with an open summer and quarantine, I am excited to have access to these videos and finally learn. Thank you so much, Aneka!
I bought a sewing machine a couple of years ago that I’ve barely used. Not confident as yet, so this is a great start, thank you! Love vintage style clothes, and I’d love to make my own dresses, skirts, bags, headscarves, etc! 😊
I have been using this machine for about a month now. just found the thread cutter, first time managed to use the auto threader. easy as. I come back to your videos to guide me. the original 1923 singer sewing machine. i learned on. also had a thread cutter. the new machine. all machines. good to know i remembered the basics. I only just found the button to push that raises the feeder plate. You dont mess about. Your Channel is a great comfort. Thankyou. I love seeing everyone's creations on Facebook. so much talent. Thankyou for sharing x
My granpa was a tailor. Before WWII he traveled around the area to learn the craft oldschool way. It's sad that he passed away long before I was born, so all the experience and the legacy of his practice was lost. Thanks to my meemaw as a young boy 30 years ago I've learned some basic things with grandpa's old manual Singer machine. And today I feel that I want to connect with my grandpa by sewing. So I'm trying to learn everything from scratch. Thanks for your great advices!!!
I recently acquired a Husqvarna Viking Scandinavia 200 and know nothing about it. I'm more comfortable working with my Husqvarna Forest Axe than a sewing machine and so I turned to UA-cam for some basic instructions. I appreciate the introductory lesson and look forward to learning more. All the best. -Tripp
Hi Tripp, I am really pleased that you are enjoying the videos! I hope you feel more comfortable with your sewing machine after watching them. I wish you all the best with your sewing, good luck! Aneka
Just bought my first machine with a vertical thread post. Thank you, this video saved me from having thread issues regarding stacked vs crossed threading.
I discovered your channel just two days ago. After watching your two videos of Beginner sewing course I just love your lessons. I will keep rewatching your lessons cause if I dont sew everyday I forget the basics. 😂😂
Holy nuggets! Why can’t the manufacturers make these sewing machines simpler? Having said that, THANK YOU so much for your help! Finally I can thread that thing! I love hand stitching, but its impractical with my gnarly hands and big dreams lol! You did a great job of doing is calmly and clearly. Stay well and safe 🤍🙏
Thank you! Even though I am following the instructions to my manual closely, it is quite helpful to confirm that I’ve done each step correctly by watching you. I was about to become discouraged while trying to raise the bobbin thread! Again, thank you!
This is fantastic , thank you! I thought I vaguely knew what I was doing but was getting increasingly frustrated when things didn’t work, it turns out I have been doing it wrong for a long time! I learnt a lot and I am sure this will improve my sucess rate...on to the next tutorial!
I watched this video to get a better understanding of sewing basics in preparation for learning my new machine which is coming in soon. This video was very informative and easy to comprehend. I appreciate this, thank you! I aim to check out the rest of this series.
All the cool things these newer machines have! I've got an old Singer 401A. I'm always in awe of what I see the new machines doing, they look so user friendly! Automatic tension and needle threading, touch screen displays that give you more options than you know what to do with. For beginners, I think the simple machines are easier and less daunting to use.
Hi Jenna, it is true sewing machines can be very fancy nowadays and you are correct that sometimes this is too much. The machine I use in these tutorials is a basic 'modern' machine, it isn't computerised and bar the needle threader nothing happens automatically. There are lots of positives to this, you can make the machine do what YOU want! Rather than working with a machine that thinks it knows more than you!! Your Singer sounds fab, I do most of my own work on an industrial machine so this is VERY basic too! Good luck with your sewing. Aneka x
Can not thank you enough for this! I was in a right pickle and at the verge of throwing the machine out the window. Now I’m sewing (with the help of magnifying glasses to thread the needle!)
I must say that this is one of the very best and most informative tutorials that I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so well with all of us.
I haven't sewn (on a machine) in over 35 years. I just bought a new machine (baby lock brilliant) which is by far different from my Mom's old singer i used when i was 16. Figured i should start with the basics. I watched several other videos but this one by far was the most useful to me. Between this video and my new machine's manual i was able to use my machine within minutes and with more confidence than previous tries over the years. I truly can't thank you enough for doing this video! THANK YOU!
I am luckily given a sewing machine from my mother in law two years ago, I totally have no ideas how to use it. Recently we decided to renovate my boys' bedroom into space theme and I wish I can get some space, fabrics to make them some cushions for the reading nook. I found your channel and all of your videos are very useful, thank you so much for making such a great channel xx
Hi Maggie, thank you for your lovely words. I am so pleased that you have enjoyed my channel and videos and found them useful. Lovely to hear your sewing story... the space theme sounds amazing! Aneka xx
Just want to make some beautiful gowns and dresses for myself, and hopefully others! Ive been really curious about sewing and everything related and this is a good way to go! Hopefully, I'm able to follow this one hobby, thank you ♡♡
Recently I've started learning origami, which led me to think "why don't I learn how to sew!" Now here I am, hoping I can learn something. This video is excellent! All the basics are explained efficiently _and_ effectively. Thank you!
I’m learning to sew because the online cosplays that are available are made from awful materials and the colours don’t usually match the character’s outfits, so I’m gonna make them myself. Thank you for this video, it was very helpful.
Your tips are so helpful. I’m completely confident in making my own garments after watching this. Not sure if I’m alone in thinking this but shopping has become so frustrating the older I’ve gotten. I’m ready for custom made pieces.
I've benefitted from your other tutorials and so decided to listen to this one when it popped up on my feed. So glad I did. I've learnt stuff I didn't know and it is very easy to forward through the stuff I'm certain of. Again grateful thanks for your time and generosity of knowledge sharing.
Hi, I'm glad to have met your channel. First time here. I have no idea about using a sewing machine, I have one which is sitting beautifully in its box in the cupboard and I don't feel confident to use it. So, I decided that it's about time to watch a proper video for beginners because I do all the fitting of my clothes by hand and learning how to sew, it will save me time and make my life easier. I hope it's not so difficult to learn 😊
Super! I love this channel. I would say along with a good sewing machine invest in a nice light. Friends recommended me the Lumiy Lightline LED lamp... stunningly bright so I can really see lots of detail, compact, and affordable.
Hi Andrea, thank you for your lovely message, that is so kind of you. Love your idea of the light (I will check it out) and thank you for the recommendation. I am sure others will find that useful too. Thank you! Aneka X
I’m a man who collects tools and does a little of everything. Thought I’d pick up a sewing machine and just start hacking away. Nope. Looks like my first day was spent just learning to thread the needle. If not for your video, I wouldn’t even know the dials right now. I’m trying to create a wrist band with a magnet.
this is a really lovely video, not too slow, not too quick, very easy to understand. i'm picking up sewing again, used to in childhood. i'd forgotten i could pop the hand wheel out when winding the bobbin. anyone can benefit from this video. thank you!

What kind of business did you start? How is it going? :)
Best course ever. I knew nothing about machines or sewing but wanted learn, I can happily confidently use my machine.
THANK YOU
Thank you so much Chantel. So pleased. Aneka x
Joining the chorus of folks who appreciate your instruction. Very clear and demystifying. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Aneka x
I absolutely love that these are videos for actual beginners. They don't assume I know anything at all (which indeed I don't), so I'm loving this. I had no idea about the thread or the needles or any of it, and I love that you're going through everything bit by bit. A lot of "beginner"-videos I see sort of assume you already know how to thread your machine, so I cannot stress enough how helpful these videos are. Sod the haters and keep at it. Oh and also, English isn't my first language, and while I am pretty much fluent, the spoken language can occasionally be hard to understand, but you are speaking clearly and are well articulated, so thank you for that too.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Kira. I am really pleased that you have enjoyed the beginners videos. Thanks VERY much. Aneka x
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Wow, I've never seen someone explain something with such clarity. It's so easy to follow. Great job. Thank you. I've picked this up as a new hobby. Can't wait to actually make something.
Oh I am so pleased you have learned something from this series of tutorials. Thank you for your lovely feedback and good luck with your new hobby!
3aayushhh hey did you give it a go? And I agree she has done a wonderful jobs at explaining everything. 👍🤘🙆♀️
That is so true???

I’m starting to sew at a young age and hopefully I become a very good designer in my early adulthood. ☺️
Thank you! 🙏
Lovely to hear, good luck. Aneka
I'm going to learn to sew because my granddaughters clothes are too expensive and not cute enough, so I'm going to make them myself. Thank you for helping me
This is wonderful, so pleased. Aneka :-))
This is how I feel for me.
MUDU REKHA is a good teacher too
Did you learn how to sew??
I have been seeing for 50+ years and will be helping someone else to learn to use her machine. Your video is excellent! I know I have picked up shortcuts and maybe even some bad habits over the years, so you have helped me to prepare to teach the basics to someone with no experience. I believe that EVERYONE should be able to sew enough to accomplish some basic mending and alterations and have a basic machine at the ready. Knowing how to sew has been a tremendous blessing in my life and the lives of my family, and the ability to create clothing and other items to keep or gift to others is an empowering and creative experience. You are doing a great job and I am thoroughly enjoying your accent too!
Hi Susan, thank you so much for such a lovely review. I am so pleased that I am able to help or support you to teach others. Huge thank you. Aneka x
Hello Susan
I was searching for a very good channel to teach me and give me advice in sewing. Nice voice, nice personality, plain explanation, understandable English … I found all I was searching for, thank you a lot!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very pleased that you have enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy sewing.
I love the University of UA-cam
😃
Made to Sew Thank You very much! Just got my first new sewing machine in 30 years and this tutorial will help me to fill the bobbin and know how to begin sewing with my new Brother "Project Runway" machine. Technology sure has improved! Peace and Health to all who enjoy sewing out there! Great fun!
Really pleased you enjoyed the tutorials Helen. I wish you all the best with your sewing & new sewing machine. Thank you for posting such a nice comment. Aneka
MUDU REKHA is also an experienced teacher that teach for free youtube
Hello
Hello, how are you doing my friend
I have really struggled to develop my sewing skills. Your beginner tutorial made it all make sense. I really appreciate all of your tutorials.
Thanks so much Lauren. Really pleased. Aneka x
Hello Lauren, how are you doing?
Beginner here! I have struck gold with this site! I purchased Viking Emerald 116 a couple of years ago and have been struggling to get information. This is hands down the best, most detailed, easy to follow instructions I have come across!
Hi Robin :) Thank you for your lovely comment and words. I am so glad you found my tutorial useful and easy to follow. There will be lots more coming soon! Aneka x
Thank you, very clear and precise video, no blurry or jerky camera shots. Wonderful..! If you ever have a spare moment in the day, the back seat of my Harley is available, and lunch is on me. Keep'em coming. Best regards.
Thank you.

I’ve just finished my first sewing project and feel so damn proud of myself… I also lost count of how many times I had to rip seems, re-pin, and re-sew things 😅. So like I learned a lot! But maybe I don’t have to learn it all the hard way, thanks so much for these videos 😊
I am enjoying watching your video. Although I'm no beginner, it never hurts to watch and to have a refresher course now and again. It helps me to relearn and to do a recap on the things I already know.
Incidentally, I especially enjoyed this first video for a special reason. I own and use the exact same model sewing machine as you used here, the Husqvarna Viking, Emerald 116. These are true mechanical sewing machines, which is exactly what I need. Moreover, these are real workhorse sewing machines with plenty of power to spare.
I found early on that if I am sewing thick or heavyweight fabrics, owning and using an even feed walking foot really does the machine wonders. Having that added motion that works in tandem with the feed dogs of the sewing machine really makes life a lot easier and far less complicated. I occasionally need to repair my denim jeans or my work pants, and the dense layers makes the machine struggle and bog down. The Even Feed Foot eliminates most of the struggles and really cleans up my work.
I'm just a novice with the sewing machine, but my skills seriously borders on those of a beginner. I subscribed to your channel in the hope of learning a little bit more about my sewing machine. Very well planned and a very well thought out video demo and presentation, thank you. Oh, and I really love your beautiful eyes. Greetings from Homer Alaska.
Hello! So lovely that you have enjoyed this video. Wonderful to hear that you have the same sewing machine too. I use this machine in lots of my videos. I had 4 of them (still do) in the UK for my classes; they are great work horse machines. Happy to tackle pretty much every fabric!
Wishing you all the best in Alaska. I hope you had a nice summer. I am currently living in the North of Australia, tropical weather so it’s hot all the time! Missing the colder weather.
I just got my Emerald 118 and this will be the first time on sweing. I've loved your tutorial and the way you explain and position the camera. Lucky me having met you in UA-cam. Thanks a lot!!
Hi Mary, wow thank you so much for your lovely words. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you in some small way. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing machine. Aneka x
Hi Mary
I learned to sew from 6th grade to 11th grade, but it's been decades since. I've always wanted to sew again, but never had the time. Now I've lost my sewing skills. Thank you for the refresher. So mamy memories. I subscribed!
Wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for your support. Your advice has helped me achieve 8 consecutive wins - a huge milestone for me. Your guidance has given me the confidence to keep pushing forward
I want to start my own business and I was going to pay for a class to learn how to sew but I thought I should start with these free courses online first before going to them. I just want to thank you so much for this free course!! I am so grateful!!
So pleased I could help. I wish you all the best starting your business. x
HunniCoco -. Good for you!!!! Best of luck.
Oh boy.. this is a lot more complicated than I anticipated
Ikr 🤣
Keep at it dear, after all Rome wasn't built in a day.
I said the same thing. I give up
I know right?? 😰
Anything worth doing rarely is my friend.
Miss, you're truly doing God's work out here! Very much appreciated. Also read that I'm not the only one doing this for mental health reasons.. Happy to discover this community 🙇🏼♂️🙏
Lovely to hear from you, sending lots of love. I hope that sewing can help you through any difficult times. Thank you. Aneka
You are a blessing . I just bought a new sewing machine. The instructions on the manual showed me flames . Your video helped me from step 1. Thanks a lot
Aaw thank you. I'm so pleased that the video helped, and you can now enjoy using your new machine.
I have just unboxed my Viking Husqvarna Emerald 118 machine. First time ever touching a sewing machine but I am absolutely excited. New hobby.
Amazing news! Good luck.
👍👍👍👍👍👍I am self taught with my machine an sewing classes are so expensive. Thank you so much for these lessons 😀
Georgette Sledge did it go well on self learning so far?
MUDU REKHA teacher teaches for free in youtube..
Thank you Georgette. 💖
I've just watched the whole 5 day course and learned so, so much. Thanks for this series.
Thanks so much Grace. Glad you enjoyed it and learned lots. ❤️
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Best sewing tutorial for beginners ever! I've never touched a sewing machine a day in my life, and I was fully engaged and aware throughout the whole segment. I may be able to do this. :)
Thank you so much Amerie, really pleased you like it. Aneka x
This comment just made me confidant. Thank you.... I cant wait to Begin!!!!! ;-)
Thank you so for being so kind to share this free sewing tutorial. My wife was very thankful; because she is a beginner and wanted to learn...🙏
So glad I could help your wife. Thank you.
Omg... these tutorial videos are absolutely the best for all newbies. Now I know how to sow in a machine, finally. After many years of putting it in back burner, bcz I just didn't spare the time and was afraid of spending the $ on a machine and possibly not going through with it, I did it. These videos are extremely detailed and at a good speed for someone like me, who knew nothing about sowing. My machine is Singer so slightly different in only a couple of things, but with the manual at hand and these videos, wow, im just beyond words. Im so thankful for your videos. They are professional, clear, detailed they are the most helpful I found.
I purchased an Emerald 116 sewing machine four years ago and was having problems with the stitches. In this class, I learned I was not threading the machine incorrectly. I forgot most of what I was taught in the class when I purchased my machine several years ago. Your class was exactly what I needed.
I am so pleased I could help Cleo. They are great machines; my original one is over 10 years old now! 🤩
So glad I found your channel. My mother used to make EVERYTHING for me but never took the time to learn and she went home to Heaven and now I’m lost. 😩 BUT, I AM DETERMINED to learn. I know she would be proud. Just subscribed 😊😊😊 And, going to keep it a surprise and show all my sewing sisters once I am able to make something on my own.
Such a lovely sorry Liz. Thanks so much for sharing. I am certain your mother would be proud, how lovely that you are following in her footsteps. I wish you all the best. Aneka x
This is my first time viewing your videos and I am thrilled at how clear, precise and descriptive you are in your instructions! I am excited to begin this sewing journey with you along with me! Thanks for posting these.
Debbie Thomas Hi Debbie, thank you for your lovely comment. I am so pleased you like the videos and my style of teaching. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing journey, I am so pleased I have been able to help. Aneka x
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Just received a sewing machine as a gift however have absolutely no experience with operating one whatsoever !! Thank the Lord for your wonderful beginners tutorial !!! :) :) :) Have been viewing it over and over again and seem to be getting it !! :) :)
I am really pleased I can help and that you are finding the course useful. Thank you for your lovely words and good luck with your sewing. Aneka :-))
I've been sewing since I was a young teenager and I'm now 62 and yet I've still learnt things from this video, thank you. As for the Gutermann thread, I've been using them for years and never clicked about the colours.
What a fantastic resource - free - excellent course. If you want to learn to sew, this covers all of the basics. Many thanks 😊
You're very welcome!
I've always wanted to learn how to sew, but never had the opportunity (they don't offer it in school anymore) or the time. Now with an open summer and quarantine, I am excited to have access to these videos and finally learn. Thank you so much, Aneka!
So pleased I could help Alaa. Thank you. Aneka x
Hello, how are you doing my friend
I bought a sewing machine a couple of years ago that I’ve barely used. Not confident as yet, so this is a great start, thank you! Love vintage style clothes, and I’d love to make my own dresses, skirts, bags, headscarves, etc! 😊
So pleased I could help. Good luck on your journey. ❤️
Hello Karene
I have been using this machine for about a month now. just found the thread cutter, first time managed to use the auto threader. easy as. I come back to your videos to guide me. the original 1923 singer sewing machine. i learned on. also had a thread cutter. the new machine. all machines. good to know i remembered the basics. I only just found the button to push that raises the feeder plate. You dont mess about. Your Channel is a great comfort. Thankyou. I love seeing everyone's creations on Facebook. so much talent. Thankyou for sharing x
Thank you Phyllis, really pleased I can help you when you need it. Thank you for your kind words. Aneka x
My granpa was a tailor. Before WWII he traveled around the area to learn the craft oldschool way. It's sad that he passed away long before I was born, so all the experience and the legacy of his practice was lost. Thanks to my meemaw as a young boy 30 years ago I've learned some basic things with grandpa's old manual Singer machine. And today I feel that I want to connect with my grandpa by sewing. So I'm trying to learn everything from scratch. Thanks for your great advices!!!
This is so lovely to hear, your granpa sounds amazing. Glad you are following in his footsteps now.
I recently acquired a Husqvarna Viking Scandinavia 200 and know nothing about it. I'm more comfortable working with my Husqvarna Forest Axe than a sewing machine and so I turned to UA-cam for some basic instructions. I appreciate the introductory lesson and look forward to learning more. All the best. -Tripp
Hi Tripp, I am really pleased that you are enjoying the videos! I hope you feel more comfortable with your sewing machine after watching them. I wish you all the best with your sewing, good luck! Aneka
Just bought my first machine with a vertical thread post. Thank you, this video saved me from having thread issues regarding stacked vs crossed threading.
Really pleased I could help.
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
This was a great refresher after learning the basics in high school many years ago. Great pace and clear instructions, thank you!
Thanks Ellen. Really pleased I could help. Aneka :-))
Hello Ellen
I discovered your channel just two days ago. After watching your two videos of Beginner sewing course I just love your lessons. I will keep rewatching your lessons cause if I dont sew everyday I forget the basics. 😂😂
Holy nuggets! Why can’t the manufacturers make these sewing machines simpler? Having said that, THANK YOU so much for your help! Finally I can thread that thing! I love hand stitching, but its impractical with my gnarly hands and big dreams lol! You did a great job of doing is calmly and clearly. Stay well and safe 🤍🙏
So pleased I could help. Thank you! And yes, you would think that the sewing machine would have improved and become easier over the years! 😃
Thank you! Even though I am following the instructions to my manual closely, it is quite helpful to confirm that I’ve done each step correctly by watching you. I was about to become discouraged while trying to raise the bobbin thread! Again, thank you!
So pleased Adrienne. Thank you. Aneka x
Absolutely first class, classic tutorial. Well paced and Chrystal clear.
Thanks so much.
Thank you for this video! I'm a crocheter but getting bored with it so now I want to learn to sew. Again THANK YOU☺
This is so exciting. Good luck!
Omg savana that is me!!!!!!!!! Im getting machine tomorrow
Same. I found a singer one at the thrift store fingers crossed i feel lost.
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
This sister is good at explaining things. She is by far the best one I've ever heard explain it
Thank you for your lovely, kind words. So pleased that you like my explanations. Aneka x
I haven't done this in 30 years. I bought my first machine for Christmas. I wanted a new Hobby and found your tutorial very very helpful. Thank You
Hi Theo, good luck and thank you for your kind words. Aneka
I love how you explain EVERYTHING! I am new and have been struggling to learn from other videos! Thank you!!
Thanks so much Kayla. Aneka x
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Cannot wait to start sewing. Very excited to start new projects with your tutorials.
You are so welcome!
This is fantastic , thank you! I thought I vaguely knew what I was doing but was getting increasingly frustrated when things didn’t work, it turns out I have been doing it wrong for a long time! I learnt a lot and I am sure this will improve my sucess rate...on to the next tutorial!
Thanks so much Emma. Really pleased that I could help with the issues you were having. Aneka x
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
I watched this video to get a better understanding of sewing basics in preparation for learning my new machine which is coming in soon. This video was very informative and easy to comprehend. I appreciate this, thank you! I aim to check out the rest of this series.
All the cool things these newer machines have! I've got an old Singer 401A. I'm always in awe of what I see the new machines doing, they look so user friendly! Automatic tension and needle threading, touch screen displays that give you more options than you know what to do with. For beginners, I think the simple machines are easier and less daunting to use.
Hi Jenna, it is true sewing machines can be very fancy nowadays and you are correct that sometimes this is too much. The machine I use in these tutorials is a basic 'modern' machine, it isn't computerised and bar the needle threader nothing happens automatically. There are lots of positives to this, you can make the machine do what YOU want! Rather than working with a machine that thinks it knows more than you!! Your Singer sounds fab, I do most of my own work on an industrial machine so this is VERY basic too! Good luck with your sewing. Aneka x
Thank you for all your hard work, and for uploading this for free!
Glad you have enjoyed them. Pleasure. Aneka x
I am new to sewing so I appreciate your clear, precise instructions. Thank you so much!
Thank you Carol. So pleased I could help. Aneka x
Hi Carol
Hello Carol
Man, I thought I knew these basic things, but I learned a lot from this video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my goodness. I are a great teacher. From the voice tone, speed of speech, information put forward etc. Thank you for these videos.
That is ever so kind of you. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am really pleased you enjoy my teaching style. Best, Aneka x
Thank you, Ma'am for teaching us. I am so lucky to found you on you tube. Please keeps teaching us.
I will. Thank you for your kind words.
Can not thank you enough for this! I was in a right pickle and at the verge of throwing the machine out the window. Now I’m sewing (with the help of magnifying glasses to thread the needle!)
So pleased Michelle. Good luck with the needle threading! :-))
You are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!! never heard such a precise and clear instructions 😃 amazing, thanks you.
Thank you SO much, very very kind of you. So pleased you like them. Aneka x
this was perfect!!! I just purchased a Janome HD3000 and I followed this video and my very first attempt came out perfect. Oh the feeling!! Thank you!
So pleased that I could help and you enjoyed the video, thank you! Good luck with your new machine. Aneka :-))
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
I must say that this is one of the very best and most informative tutorials that I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so well with all of us.
Bless you Tina, thank you for your lovely words. Aneka
Hello Tina
How are you doing today,hope you are safe from the virus?
I haven't sewn (on a machine) in over 35 years. I just bought a new machine (baby lock brilliant) which is by far different from my Mom's old singer i used when i was 16. Figured i should start with the basics. I watched several other videos but this one by far was the most useful to me. Between this video and my new machine's manual i was able to use my machine within minutes and with more confidence than previous tries over the years. I truly can't thank you enough for doing this video! THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for such a lovely message Candy! Thank you and good luck with your new machine. Aneka x
I am luckily given a sewing machine from my mother in law two years ago, I totally have no ideas how to use it. Recently we decided to renovate my boys' bedroom into space theme and I wish I can get some space, fabrics to make them some cushions for the reading nook. I found your channel and all of your videos are very useful, thank you so much for making such a great channel xx
Hi Maggie, thank you for your lovely words. I am so pleased that you have enjoyed my channel and videos and found them useful. Lovely to hear your sewing story... the space theme sounds amazing! Aneka xx
Hello
Just want to make some beautiful gowns and dresses for myself, and hopefully others! Ive been really curious about sewing and everything related and this is a good way to go! Hopefully, I'm able to follow this one hobby, thank you ♡♡
Wonderful!
I am a beginner and I totally enjoyed this video. It is very clear and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment, glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your sewing!
Recently I've started learning origami, which led me to think "why don't I learn how to sew!" Now here I am, hoping I can learn something. This video is excellent! All the basics are explained efficiently _and_ effectively. Thank you!
Ahh same! I will get into both too😄
This tutorial has been helpful. I like the simplicity with which you explain the various steps. Love from Uganda.
Thank you for your kind words Jeremy, I'm pleased that it is helpful. And I love reading that you are using it in Uganda.
I’m learning to sew because the online cosplays that are available are made from awful materials and the colours don’t usually match the character’s outfits, so I’m gonna make them myself. Thank you for this video, it was very helpful.
So pleased you are starting to sew to make your own cosplay. 😊
Your tips are so helpful. I’m completely confident in making my own garments after watching this. Not sure if I’m alone in thinking this but shopping has become so frustrating the older I’ve gotten. I’m ready for custom made pieces.
So pleased I could help. Thank you so much and good luck! Aneka x
I've benefitted from your other tutorials and so decided to listen to this one when it popped up on my feed. So glad I did. I've learnt stuff I didn't know and it is very easy to forward through the stuff I'm certain of. Again grateful thanks for your time and generosity of knowledge sharing.
Thank you very much Ann, really appreciate that. Aneka x
Hello Ann
I’m a mother that has 5 children I’m caring for. This is life changing and such a great help to my craft. THANK YOU , GREATLY!!!! 😍😍😍
Such a pleasure. I am so pleased I could help you. Aneka x
Hi, I'm glad to have met your channel. First time here. I have no idea about using a sewing machine, I have one which is sitting beautifully in its box in the cupboard and I don't feel confident to use it. So, I decided that it's about time to watch a proper video for beginners because I do all the fitting of my clothes by hand and learning how to sew, it will save me time and make my life easier. I hope it's not so difficult to learn 😊
Super! I love this channel. I would say along with a good sewing machine invest in a nice light. Friends recommended me the Lumiy Lightline LED lamp... stunningly bright so I can really see lots of detail, compact, and affordable.
Hi Andrea, thank you for your lovely message, that is so kind of you. Love your idea of the light (I will check it out) and thank you for the recommendation. I am sure others will find that useful too. Thank you! Aneka X
So happy to see that you have the same swedish sewing machine I have, was not expecting that! :)
Pleased I could surprise you! Thank you! :-))
How much mashine
I’m a man who collects tools and does a little of everything. Thought I’d pick up a sewing machine and just start hacking away. Nope. Looks like my first day was spent just learning to thread the needle. If not for your video, I wouldn’t even know the dials right now. I’m trying to create a wrist band with a magnet.
Really pleased I could help. Good luck!
this is a really lovely video, not too slow, not too quick, very easy to understand. i'm picking up sewing again, used to in childhood. i'd forgotten i could pop the hand wheel out when winding the bobbin. anyone can benefit from this video. thank you!
Excellent video! Greetings from Honduran living in Germany
Thanks very much. 😄
Love this class! Thank you so much for doing this series. I am trying to learn how to sew and this is the best series I have seen out there:)
+Nitu Mathew Bless you Nitu, thank you for your LOVELY message. I am so pleased you have found the series useful and informative. Thank you for your kind words they are greatly appreciated! I wish you all the best with your sewing. Anika x
