How To Set Up The Brother A150 Sewing Machine From Scratch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- So I tried to read the manual that came with this machine and for a beginner sewist it made no sense to me. So I went back to Echidna Sewing and got the lovely Rhonda to give me a walk through from start to doing buttonholes and using that cool keypad it has.
The Basics Covered;
Setting up the Buttonhole
Tension Setting
Automation settings for sewing - OMG they are cool, you're going to save so much time, I'm saving so much time. I think I am really going to love sewing on a domestic this time.
We are curating a list of sewing hacks and going deep in all of our patterns, so that you can use the same base pattern to make other versions and we are collecting those versions too. It's going to be nuts but I write it here to make sure I do this great idea, I want it, so I can't be the only one.
The art of sewing is another element of freedom when you don't fit the mould of designers but you still want to be funky and let's face it, having basics that you made for you in your wardrobe means you can have more style with less pieces.
That's the goal.
To help you get started I have put together an awesome beginner bundle that will show you how to do Buttonholes, 2 x of basic pockets, a super simple Zip and how to cut fabric and sew straight every time. There is 7 patterns in this bundle and by the end of it you will be ALOT more fearless when it comes to sewing.
For Students each year we will be doing Lives and other online sewing adventures from May - September so you can get ready for #memademay for the following year and flex your creativity at any upcycle fashion events.
Why blend in when you can stand out. xx
Thank you and get started, you will save money and time and maybe even find a style that completes your wardrobe or makes you feel more you.

Impressed with this machine and live in Australia? I saw the guys at Echidna Sewing for mine, they offer ZipMoney and AfterPay with 6 months interest-FREE. Start with the right machine and you won't need to replace it for years = smart sewing. They ship Australia wide: bit.ly/2VwdSmr-youtube
Very comprehensive and clear.😊
I have had my 150 for 3 months and love every day I have sewing with it. Nearly 60 years ago I started on my nan's treadle and have used many different machines but this one is amazing. Lovely informative tutorial 👍
This is such a wonderful video! My 150 is arriving tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited! I've been battling with my trusty very old Brother innovis 15 that I lent to the school where I teach and it came back totally messed up! Stitch regulator gone, bobbins won't wind and feed dogs slip down in the middle of sewing! Tomorrow is going to be a lovely day! You are a great teacher! Thank you!
Thanks Sarah, I am still in love with this machine and I it's year 2 now, no regrets!
I absolutely loved this tutorial... I find it so hard to understand the manuals so this is such a great help... I used to sew a lot now after 25 years I am giving it a go again and just got this machine... I feel like I have to learn all over again but this helped so much
Thank for sharing, I hope you can Share more of your projects using this machine. Godbless♥️
So beautiful illustration..... soothing voice, no background music, knowledgeable about the machine....what can someone ask for more! Want to get this machine because of how well you have explained which is important for new user......

You are a total gem. Wish you were my sewing teacher when I was a kid...I would've listened!
Thank you for having done this video. It is very helpful to me. I think about buying this machine and I like it I think. V. from Paris, France :)
Thank you Thank you, I tried reading the manual.... You made it so much simpler!
That's the whole reason why I did this, my brain couldn't make any sense of that manual. It wasn't made for creative people!
Thank you for uploading. I am thinking of buying this machine. It is so hard to choose one when there are so many machines out there.
Good tutor.
Clear step by step tutoring.❤
Greatly helpful! Thanks a ton!
Hi, watched your video earlier this year. Everything was well explained. Your video helped me to decide on the A150 instead of a mechanical sewing machine.
Thanks.
Sweet Darcy, I am so glad you did. I still love mine just as much as the day I bought it.
Thankyou so much ..your video help a lot...wonderful tutorial..just got my machine yesterday...thankyou again
Extremely helpful - thank you.
You're welcome anytime.
This is fantasic, I was hoping to just learn how to use my new machine, though have learnt so much more little bits that will help me in general :)
Fantastic thank you so much
Thank you for sharing, very informative!!! :) It helps A-LOT!!
Thank you for the video, I just bought this machine today. This will be my first computerized sewing machine, I am excited and nervous at the same time.
what do you think of the machine?
I think it is great! I have only used electrical machine previously, this makes everything faster 😊
im haine serious problems with the tension - i cannot get it right, no matter what I do..
Fantastic!
Anytime Daniel, we are ramping up some sustainable sewing tutorials for 2020, just getting all the fantastic teachers together.
@@WeMadeItSewingSustainably Sounds great, looking forward!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this lovely introduction video to the A150 sewing machine. It's highly appreciated and a lot better to understand than the manual 😃 Now I only need to figure out why my stitches don't look clean and the tension is hardly right. Maybe our old sewing machines are not that picky if it comes to the threads I'm using.. Any idea?
You're welcome. You have to make sure the top tension is set right, that's the key piece of the puzzle on the stitch length. Also keep your bobbin clean, it makes a huge difference.
Madam can u please to do tutorial on how to use the memory and the letter together with decorative stitches? Please madam thank you 🙏
@@WeMadeItSewingSustainably has this tutorial been done? I can't see the link anywhere as I am interested in the lettering too
@@RedBloodyDog2023 Hi Colleen no it hasn't I will see if someone else has done it and then put a link here. COVid meant my day job got hectic, I am looping back to these tutes again soon.
I have just received this machine. I have been playing around with it. I have noticed that when I am sewing decorative stitches or the alphabet and I’m not using my foot control I am not able to adjust the speed of the sewing. Is this right? The speed control slider works fine on the utility stitches without the foot pedal so I don’t think there’s a malfunction with it. I have looked in the manual and I can’t find anything mentioning it in there. Tia
Great advice, just out of curiosity with top loading machines they are more convenient, but can you access to retrieve needle if the needle drops down the feed dogs gap and into machine? Or is it an engineers job really? my older machine I had to take apart, ooops in future I will use paper under feed dogs. Also do you know if the Brother A16 or any above are ok for small quilting and cushions etc etc I’ve been looking at so many machines I’m totally, Confused.
Thank you Irene I did think of that after I did it and could kick myself, I just did not think, I wonder how many people have done the same, you learn by your mistakes I suppose, ooops. Thank you for your helpful reply, much appreciated. Happy Sewing from Dorset uk.

By any chance would u be able to show the monogram stitch in this machine? In which of your creation you've used that?
Ahh haven't used that yet.
I bought this machine and I am having serious problems with the tension. Do you have any advice for me?
Did you solve your problem? I'm facing the same issue and tried a lot of things like changing the material and threads I was using. But unfortunately the sewing doesn't look clean. My old machine (which was very cheap compared to the A150) never had this issue.. 😟
How to do darning on pants on innovis A 150.
Do o you get CD with this machine.
Can this sewing machine sew with elastic thread?
Fiddly but yes.
Does it sew through heavy fabrics like denim,velvet, leather etc?Is it a heavy duty machine? Which one is better brother or Juki industrial machines or this one? I'm really confused!!
@@WeMadeItSewingSustainably can it sew wool,sequins?
@@WeMadeItSewingSustainably tysm for replying. I'm into wool and denim. Could you please name some good machines (industrial or domestic) that are good for these fabrics?
@@WeMadeItSewingSustainablytysm for replying. There are a lot of domestic machines that shake a lot while sewing at high speed mainly because they're made of plastic and are very light in weight. what about this one? And, for sewing woolen, knitted, denim, tweed do I have to buy single needle or lock stitch industrial sewing machine. Actually, I'm new to sewing so that's why I don't know the difference. Any, specific model(that can be available in second hand easily) that you'd like to recommend. i'll buy this one for sure but as you said I need one-second hand industrial also. can old Juki industrial machines do the job?
@@WeMadeItSewingSustainably tysm for helping ❤️❤️... Looking forward to your videos.
@@WeMadeItSewingSustainably I would love to see videos on sewing heavy weight fabrics.thankyou so much for helping.
