The "J" is actually the letter that let's you know which presser foot to use. If you'll look on the bottom of each "foot" they have a letter on them. The letter on your display is telling you which foot to use for the particular stitch you have chosen. I am going to hopefully buy a regular XR9550 machine in a few days, and, I've watched a few videos here on YT. HAPPY SEWING !!!
My grandmother bought me my first machine at 13 yrs old. I didn't take advantage of it at that age. Fast forward 30 yrs later I'm learning now...just waiting for my machine to arrive I ordered online. Better late than never. 👍😉🥰 Thank you for sharing and your excitement. ❤
I just want a new GOOD machine. I have had my machine since I was 17 and I am 60 now. Thank you for his nice video and letting us know a month ago you still love it. :)
Wow ...my Aunty loved to see. This is so exciting and lots of goodies for you to use and make some beautiful items. Appreciate you sharing this with us.
I'm glad to see more sewing videos. I have a Singer 301, antique, but meets my needs. I may take a plunge and try one of these. When I get any new appliance or technology, not only do I keep the manual, but I download the manual on my computer. I always know how to find it and usually can search what I need and find it very quickly.
Linda Collins Great idea! Having a backup is perfect. Sometime I find manuals for things that I haven’t had for a long time...lol Thanks for watching, Hugs, Stephanie 🌷🌷🌷
I recently got one of these but haven't used it yet, so this was fun to see. I was reluctant to get a Brother at first as they used to be not so great, but was told that Baby Lock bought the company so their quality has improved a lot.
Laura Buckles I wouldn’t have considered it if I hadn’t seen someone using it here on UA-cam. That’s what made me want one. Baby lock took them over? Now it makes sense! Thanks for watching! Hugs, Stephanie 🌷🌷🌷
I know you’re on cloud 9. I wish I made more time to sew. I have a Singer machine that is very very similar to your new one. My favorite feature is the automatic needle threader.. I hope you’ll share your first project made with it. 😊❤️
Mimi's Mixed Bag I didn’t know how much I would love that needle threader!!! My eyesight isn’t what it used to be! Yes, I have several things to share. Thanks for stopping by!! Hugs, Stephanie 🌷🌷🌷🌷
I’m new to sewing and I have been debating to buy this machine. I have a machine that my mom bought me for Christmas about 5 years ago, but I did fall out of sewing at the beginning of high school. It has been pretty recently started sewing again and I would love to get a new machine.
So glad you made this video Stephanie. The other day when you got the machine I was so curious about it. You know we talked about sewing machines that day. I have all the sewing notions that I've inherited .. I just need a new machine and the ability to figure out how to use it. Thanks!
C Clifton Yes, I’ve been meaning to post this! I love it. I’m still figuring out how to use it. But it’s been a great machine so far. Thanks for watching, Hope you’re having an awesome day! 🌷🌷🌷
ohsusana Good to know! I’m so basic, and I hate reading directions. Lol. But I also love learning new things. I need to watch some more videos on this. Thanks for watching, Hugs, Stephanie 🌷🌷🌷🌷
You would make a great teacher. I really enjoyed this. Lol. Didn’t think I would. Very cool. I have two machines; a regular Singer and a embroidery one. Need to watch utube videos to learn how to use them! Thanks for the encouragement!
Karen Dondelinger Hi Karen, thank you so much for your kind words. That’s cool that you do embroidery. Those machines baffle me!! By I love what they can do. Thanks for watching, Hugs, Stephanie 🌷💜🌷
Hi Hun, Oh I so need a new sewing machine. When my children were small, I made all their clothes, then my machine gave out, I never really got into it again, but watching you tonight I remembered how much I enjoyed it...Hugs..Bella xxx
Beauty On a Budget Oh yes! It’s a fun creative outlet and it’s therapeutic. I listen to books on tape, podcasts and UA-cam while I’m sewing. Good times. Thanks for watching, Hugs, Stephanie 🌷🌷🌷
I love watching Project Runway too. I think the kids version would be great for my kids to watch but it's not on hulu yet. Hey, congrats on your new machine. Looks amazing.
Hi! Loved watching your video! I’m new to sewing and I’m thinking about buying this machine since Amazon has it for such a great deal. I was wondering how your machine is holding up and if you still like it? 😊 thank you in advance!
Amanda McGinnis I love it. It still works just as good as the day I bought it. Good luck and happy sewing! I’d love to hear how it worked out for you. I just finished making a princess dress for my granddaughter. So, yes, I still love it. I posted a photo of it, if your on Facebook. Stephaniefarrell123 ❤️
@@FarrellFocus does this do thick fabrics? Denim, leather, etc.? I can't decide between this one or, the ST371HD. Tough decision. Oh, also can this be programmed to end needle up/needle down?
junglist1soldier Hi there, I haven’t sewn any leather, but I have seen plenty of thick outdoor fabric, no problem. I don’t know about the needle up/down, so I can’t answer that. Good luck!! 😊
Love to see you so excited. That is such a nice machine for the price. I am looking for a lightweight machine as mine is wonderful but heavy to lift. We are in an RV so that would be great for a easy machine to use.. Can't wait to see more of it ..
Hi Linda, I've been using it and I just love it. It's super lightweight. I think it would be great for travel. I added on the hard plastic cover, when I bought it, so that would be good. I would love to see what you make. Hugs, Stephanie :)
opening up a new sewing machine is so much fun. I remember when I got mine. I took my time with it opening every thing and reading.
@@pipermoonshine oh yes!! So fun!!

I just got mine for Black Friday. 117.00 can't wait to get it.. so ready.. and your video is great help..thank you!

Yes!! Still loving it! Let me know what your experience is. 💜

I have had no problem with denim and thick fleece, as well as lots of home decor, including outside fabric. Still going strong. 😊
I just got his can't wait to open it!!
I really like it. It's a convenient size. I think it looks sharp too!
Love my project runway sewing machine! I have had it 5 years and love it

The cover has a piece of Styrofoam. I left mine in because it it tight I figured must stay in. ?

I’ve had for about a year now...and I’m still loving it. For the price, I just don’t think you can beat it. Just my opinion. 🤷🏼♀️💜

Congratulations! I was impressed at how nice this machine is. Enjoy!

On Brother machines the letter on each stitch selection usually refers to the recommended foot to use. The feet have letters on them.
Shelley Clark
Oh!! That is good to know! Thank you. I have a lot to figure out!
Thanks for watching.

J is for the foot, not the needle.
stvnixrcks
Thank you!!! I did not know that. ❤️
Does the sewing machine still work? I want to buy it
Yes! I love it!
