Thank you Mom's! You Brother SQ9285 videos have been a God send for me. I'm an old man who pride's himself on being able to do anything, fix anything but sewing is a brand new hobby that has me feeling a bit humbled. Lol. You have saved me hours of agrivation just getting my new machine threaded. Thank you and any new SQ9285 videos are appreciated.
I have watched multiple videos from the machine company itself and got absolutely nothing from them. This video explained everything and why I was doing what needed to be done. Thank you so much :)
Excellent video. I've been reading the manual but still couldn't get the auto-threader to work, now, I see how it's done! Thank you for such clear instructions and close ups that I could not see with my magnifying glass!
If I could have enough words with my limited English knowledge to say more than thank you I would do that. This machine had been with me for a little over a year but had difficulty of understanding how to use it. I can use the machine for ordinary sewing but as you know when we get older our body system doesn’t function as used to. I tell you, you are the best teacher for me on line or on physical class I took, not saying my previous are not good instructors. Thanks to technology I find it easer to use the automatic threading the needle with your help and with my best attention and patience. I will certainly continue to watch your instructions on sewing. Let God bless your hands, keep you healthy to continue your good work and let him splash you teaching floor with diamond and gold. I was so happy after this class and what I comment was from my heart.
Thank you SO MUCH Mom's! My husband just got me this machine and your video is so detailed and made it so easy for me to thread it for the first time! 😀💕👍
I'm so intimidated about using this machine. I've watched 4 other videos on this but your video has way more information and steps. I really like how you explain how it's supposed to work instead of just running through the guide steps. It helps me to fully understand how the machine works and hopefully it will help me recognize problems as I learn. Thank you so much!
Thank you SO much. I’m borrowing this model from a friend and had no idea how to work it 🤣 I normally sew on a Singer, and learned to sew on a cast iron Singer from the 1950’s! This video was extremely helpful
Thank you! Almost a complete newbie here (about 30 years ago a dear friend helped me sew a couple of simple projects, but unfortunately, she now lives across the country and everything she'd taught me is totally forgotten), and this video was a crystal-clear, step-by-step explanation, with great close-ups, so I really feel like I have a handle on what I need to do.
My Brother SQ9285 sewing machine is just like the one in this video and comes with the "fast bobbin winding system". I am new to sewing and relied on the instruction book and online videos. I was under the impression that you don't thread the tiny hole on top of the bobbin if your Brother Sewing machine comes with the "fast bobbin winding system". I have never put the thread through the little hole in the bobbin to wind the bobbin thread. After I put the bobbin in the winder seat and push in to the right, I turn it clockwise for the spring to click into place. Then I manually wrap the thread around the bobbin 5-6 times in a clockwise position and trim excess thread with the built in bobbin thread cutter. I hope I am doing this right. I've not been sewing long and am learning via these types of videos. I thank you for uploading this video and look forward to learning more from you.
I don't think I would have known what to do if not for this amazing tutorial. As a complete beginner this made it so easy for me to thread my machine!!!! Thank you so much
I just bought this machine for my daughter that started a beginner sewing class. This video is perfect! Now she will know how to set it up on her first day in class. Thank you!
I just bought this machine today. I haven't sewed in 30 years. I used to sew with my mom. Thank you so much for showing me how to thread machine and bobbin. The auto threader was a little tricky but i got it! It took a few tries. Do you have a video, how to change the different feet and how to use the button, zipper and quilting attachments? Thanks again! :)
I definitely Subscribed! 😊 What a great tutorial. It's bee 40ish years since "Home Ec" and I'm surpirsed how some of it came back to me as you were explaining. I barely made it through then, but with you as my teacher now, I think I'll be okay haha. I'm working on quilts not only for friends/family, but to donate. Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial - when you said U turn, I got it right off! :) EDIT: I did it! Then I did a test and it looked great! Then I did a few decorative stitches that I could use my J needle on. They're beautiful! My only issue is not knowing how to end them evenly. Wish you had a video on that - hint hint LOL Thanks, again :) God Bless.
This was the best threading and bobbin winding video I have seen on this machine. You answered all my questions. Thank you so much.I don't sew as often as I like and now now to follow. Yesterday morning I got up, tuurned on my computer and my dislay screen was upside down. Finally got that fixed and I needed to remove a screw on something. The handal was loose so it was useless. I needed to repair old baseball uniforms for my nephew and the snaps were plastic and had a washer on them that was glued to the fabric . He is a coach and he needed these uniforms to snap or close shut. These uniforms have to last til next season when they will get new. These were hidden snaps and both sides would not come off. My machine kept knotting up and I knew I was messing up somewhere. Finally went to JoAnn's and bought fabric stick on velcro dots and placed them strategically and they seem to work great. Bought extra dots and safety pins and if that doesn't solve the problem it is his problem lol. Teenage boys should be able to attach the stick on dots if more snaps break and even a baby can use a safety pan. Well, that was more than you needed to know but I sure needed to vent. Thank you so much for this complete tutorial!
Thank you so much for posting this! I’m a complete beginner and this helped so much. I am a stay at home mom and I’m trying to find something fun to do that’s just for me! I’ve always been interested in sewing since I was a kid. I’m now getting to try it out!
I have had this machine for three weeks and just today got the nerve to learn how to operate it. I’ve had several Singers and had to have the repairman out for a minor fix. He suggested I buy this machine if I just wanted to upgrade. I spent several hours today manual in hand attempting to learn how to thread it and wind the bobbin. It was frustrating. In my frustration, I turned to UA-cam…there you were. Thank you for making such a detailed video and going slowly enough that you didn’t leave me wondering what to do next. I am definitely going to save this video until I’m more comfortable with my new toy.
Thank you for this, I was missing the part where you are supposed to turn the handwheel toward you (not away from you) to catch the bobbin thread! Saved me a lot of frustration. ❤
Thanks, i am new to a sewing machine and this video was great. Up close, i can see everything, clear, and precise on how to string upper thread down and around. That was tricky. You made it very simple. I will look for more of your videos so i can make my own clothes for now on. Starting with curtains. 👍🏾🙂
Thank you soooo much. I just got this machine and wanted to double check that I was doing it right. And you made the automatic needle threader so much easier to understand. Thank you!
Everytime I load a new bobbin, it pulls across the top of the bobbin. I do exactly as you show in your video. Your videos a truly the best. Thanks. Let me know ifbI am missing something. I just do over and over an Eventually it works but what a hassle every single time.
❤ Thank u soooo much! I watched several videos of other people with my exact same model of machine. But when I watched your video and it was close to my model of machine. Point being, you thought me more than any others. Big thanks to you 😊!
Thank you so much! That was way more helpful than the steps honestly I’m super excited to make hats and cool patches for my nieces jackets when she gets a little older
I bought this Sunday. I used the machine loaded with my own thread and Bobbi n thread. I started a new project today of just sewing some cotton pieces together for a cool square. The machine does not sew properly on the straight stitch. The Bob and thread can be easily pulled out with just one yank. I have threaded threaded, threaded unthreaded threaded un threaded threaded un th threaded threaded unthreaded so many times that I’m ready to put it out on the curb. I’ve watched every video. I followed the instructions. Explicitly, I’ve been sewing for 45 years. Never had such a problem with trying to get a good straight stitch. Very frustrated. Ready to take this thing back to Walmart.
Ugh. I hate this for you because it’s usually a great machine! However, defective ones do roll out sometimes 😢Must be a tension issue. Have you had any better luck yet?
Ugh I’m stuck Did everything as instructed and my top thread is extremely loose and weird noise when I sew I cleaned everything up changed thread increase tension decrease tension changed needle nothing has worked I’m sewing a puff quilt thought maybe it was too much for this machine Any help would be greatly appreciated
Planning on getting this machine today… have you done a tutorial on the letters yet? Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve only used mechanical sewing machines… Worried about error messages and also it not working after a few months
Brother are reliable, depending on how often and what you plan on making I use an SE630 which is an embroidery/ sewing machine, you can do quite a bit but some designs can be quite time consuming However there is a big learning curve for the embroidery software, I’m not sure if there is any required for this machine but if there is that will be your biggest headache I imagine. Otherwise it’s pretty simple once you’ve seen it done a few times!
Hey could you please film looking down into the bobbin well - as my thread is running back over across the top of the bobbin.. it looks weird as if its missed its 'channel' it looks wrong- so can you show us straight down into the well through the clear plastic cover so we might trace the thread pathway thanks
Mom, I'm going to make dog collars and I'm using double sided tape to adhere the ribbon to the nylon webbing and then I have to make a few folds to secure the hardware. I'm worried about the needle being strong enough to go through the webbing and adhesive tape. Any advice? Will it be alright?
Hi Mom. I was just wondering...well, two questions. One, which did you prefer the Brother or the Singer(I watched that video)? Well, two I just wanted to know which thread you're using if you don't mind sharing. Thanks for the videos 😊
I haven't had time to do much sewing with either one, but I'm really liking the Brother. I just love the way all Brothers sound 😂I don't remember exactly which thread I was using. My favorite brand is Aurifil. Thanks so much for watching!
I have the SQ 9185. BUT its about 10 yrs old. I have trouble with the bobbin case. Have had to replace it 2 times and now it is popping out of place again. Causing the machine to stop.
I could really use some ideas how to sew tulle and sequins material I have a little nice I've been trying to make a doll dress for and it keeps getting caught in the needle or the thread in the sewing machine I have to rip it out of the machine

Oh you’re fine doing it that way! I just like to use the little hole. Either way will get you a bobbin😊

It never will really sew right. If you have a receipt take it back and get a different machine I could never get it to sew right. 3:43 3:51 .
Hope you get it to work I had that problem too. Never got it to work took the machine back got another brand.
I’m going to shorten a dress with my sewing machine, thank you for the great detailed video! ❤
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I'm making a quilt for my first grandchild.

That’s a lot of layers. I would use a denim needle and go really slow. Maybe turn the wheel by hand a few times to test it

My bobbin isn’t turning, why?
It only turns as the thread is being pulled by the fabric moving forward. Is it sewing?
❤
I keep getting E6! I’ve re threaded several times and it still not working
Oh no 😢 are you still getting it?
Thank you so much!!
