Right off the bat, you cleared up two points of confusion for me! I had no idea I could pull up the spool pin and was wondering why they put such a short pin in! DUH! I have actually been sewing with this machine for a couple of months now...with the pin down, LOL. The second thing that was throwing me was whether to put the thread under the small metal bar on the top of the machine, or leave it over. I've been struggling to put it under. It doesn't do any harm having it that way...but it's frustrating to do it! I had the rest of it right, thank heavens! You probably won't believe this, given my amateur mistakes, but I've been sewing since I was six and making my clothes since age 12. Of course, machines were a lot different back then...I'm 74 now...but I've learned two valuable lessons here. 1) You're never too old to learn (LOL), and 2) It pays to be internet savvy. The biggest lesson, however, is to always, always, watch tutorials by April before attempting anything new :) Thank you for being here!
i always come back to this video when i haven’t used my sewing machine in a while, it’s so helpful!!! you explain it in such an easy way to understand, thank you!!!
I’ve been sewing on this machine for over a year, and for some reason today I am having so much trouble getting it threaded and having the two threads work together. You have taught me more about my machine in this video than I’ve ever known. I learned about six new things, just from this video.You’re a fantastic teacher and I hope you keep making videos. Also brother sewing machines should be paying you….. because you are the best instructor I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.
Mary, saw your comment on this video I dont seem to get any response from April so I thought I would see if you see my comment. Hope this is ok just need some help. Thanks Susie. trying to learn myself.
Thank you so much. You have the best tutorials for this Brother LX3817, I have viewed a few and I totally prefer yours's. Very clear and easy to follow instructions!
You gave a wonderful tutorial but you're moving too fast for me to keep up so I'll just keep hitting pause till I finally get it but you explained it very well thank you oh f****** just find the sewing machinery where you didn't have to do this it would be great
Your video was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I took up sewing at age 10 and now 74 but there were years and years of gaps through my journey A few machines had bobbins jamming to the point of tossing them out. When I got this new machine a year ago and anxiety kept me from trying it. a friend asked if I could hem her curtains. The real reason it decided today to bite the bullet. Right off the bat I could not figure out how to thread I was so gravely disappointed. You made it simple and easy. I have subscribed. You should be a teacher.
I watched probably 30 videos & this was the most simple & to the point and made so much sense! my sewing machine has been sitting on a table for 2 months because i was afraid to mess something up... now I can start sewing!!!!! i’m so excited thank you!
I've watched so many tutorials and yours is the best by far! The visuals and instructions are so simple and clear. You saved me a huuuuge headache, thank you!!!!
IDK if you are still reading comments on this video, but this was immensely helpful! I just got this machine about a month ago, I've watched other videos but you explain it better for me than others have. Plus it helps it was well lit and I could see your machine nicely.
GREAT close-up views! Thank you. I haven't used a sewing machine since I was in my 40s and now, almost 40 years later, I found this most helpful. I especially liked the close-up of that little wire "spring" within the thread-guide groove. Very clear directions. Nice voice btw!
Thank you for this video. My mom is 97 and still wants to sew. We were having all kinds of trouble until we found this video. We can't thank you enough.
Thank you much, my mom doesn't let me use her other machine and this simple tutorial helped a lot with the brother. I had to turn the handle a few times to get my bobing to come through it worked perfectly. Thank you dor making it easy to follow.
Hey again! Once again you saved me! Got lower threaded & it wouldn't pull up! I knew I followed your instructions exactly, but it was the bobbin. When I got my flashlight I could see right away that the end of the thread was just laying there on top off the bobbin, so I watched your bobbin threading tutorial, & prayed! I have to use a needle threader, so all this takes a while,but it pulled up s smooth as a whistle. Now I start with a straight hem. Love yea, cool,calm April!!
Thank you so very much April…..! You made it so easy for me to follow the instructions and made me feel confident cause now if I have any problems , your there for me 😁
April: you are the best on you tube in my opinion in regards to teaching how to use the machine. You’re the one and ONLY who made sense when explaining. Thanks very much
Absolutely THE BEST VIDEOS ON this machine on RUclips , Tysm, I’ve watched a few..and still felt lost before coming across your directions which is so very clear, easy to follow and just takes the whole stress of setting up the machine away. The way you show details in every step is greatly appreciated. I’m very petite and looking forward to tailoring my own clothes as paying for that service adds up when basically everything you buy needs to be tailored.
Found your channel when I was looking for help with winding my bobbins, thank you it’s so much easier to follow a tutorial than the book as you really explain and show how it’s done .
Thank you for going slow as I am a first time user you are a great teacher thanks for going slow step by step.I watched one video before I found yours and the other lady went so fast and skipped some steps I'm so glad I found your video very happy .
Finally found someone with the same model!! I am a full on beginner that snatched my mother's abandoned sewing machine. Everybody online seems to have different models and their tutorials turn into me just trying to assimilate whatever they be showing with mine to no avail😭
There's a few other you tubers on here that did a very poor job of explaining how to thread this particular sewing machine.You on the other hand were excellent. Your close-ups were perfect. Thanks
Been good 15 years since I first used a sewing machine since 9th grade so this is really handy to relearn since I’m taking up crafting. I love how this video was on point on every step. Thank you so much for your video. 😊
This is my 2nd video of yours. You give good slow instructions. I haven’t sewn in years and just need a matching to take in a top. Thank you so much. I may now but this machine.
Thanks for this video! Super helpful! Love the clear directions w/ a good close-up view of what's going on. This is my first sewing machine and I was sooo lost. It's hard for me to find video tutorials that are easy to understand that also demonstrate well so I appreciated this video a lot!
Awesome tutorial!! This was a HUGE help so I didn't have to filter through the DVD with my TV in another room! I'm definitely subscribing RIGHT NOW! 😊❤️
New sub here, I live the way you're teaching your video and showing it up close. I just brought my sewing machine and I have no glue on how to do anything. I greatly appreciate your time on showing us how to install.
Thank you for taking the time to make a video like this for beginners. It's been about ten years since I've done this and I'm rusty on a few things (or all the things). You were very helpful with getting me going!!! Infinitely grateful
Thank you, I have watched several videos and your was the most helpful and straightforward, to the point and informative! I really appreciate the knowledge.
Thank you so much! This was so helpful. I just got the same machine for my 25th birthday and this is my first time ever using a sewing machine. You made it very easy to understand and follow along!
Thanks for this great video April! I've been sewing for years and recently got this new Brother machine for simple tasks and projects. I hate reading instructions so I came to you tube and found your video! So very helpful because I couldn't figure out how to thread it on one part. My Singer was different so this was super helpful! I just subscribed to your channel and liked your video 💓
Girl thank you soooo much for this. I was about to pull my hair out of my head. After watching this plus the instructions it makes perfect sense! Thanks!!!
You saved my life! I watched this video and the other one because I couldn’t figure out why my thread was bunching up under the material. I hope you do more tutorials working with this sewing machine.
Thank you so much for this video.Just bought a Brother LX3817G and is still in the box. I need a lot of courage to open it up and start sewing. I had a really basic, straight stich mini machine that my daughter just broke the power cord.I get scared when I see the fancy machines with touch buttons,screens and so on.I'm not so much into technology,so I always go for easy to handle,plain,basic things.This Brother machine seems close to what I'm looking for.
Thank you so much!! I was threading the needle all wrong by having the thread on the guide coming all the way from the back and it breaking all the time 🙄 youre a life saver!
Thank you! I’ve got this machine a while ago and I was so intimidated by the manual. Your videos really helped ease me into it!!! Would love to see more tutorials from your channels for some of the basics 🙌🏻
