Thank you, for your presentation! I am a 69 year old retired man and decided to get a sewing machine and learn to sew. I have been wanting a canvas crutch holder and also a cover for my powered wheel chair. My wife hates sewing. I remember my Dad using my Mothers old Singer sewing machine to make a cover for the family fishing/ski boat, back in the 60's. With help setting up the sewing machine from Mom and a little instruction, Dad made an awesome boat cover. Well I decided if Dad could do it--then--so can I. I bought the Singer 4452 Heavy Duty and had NO idea where to begin. RUclips is wonderful--I found your channel and you got me started! Thank you!😎🤟
Just got mine in today. So thankful I came across this video, genuinely don’t think I would have been able to thread it and get started without watching this!!! Amazing!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been intimidated to try my hand at sewing. I wound my first bobbin, threaded my first machine, and sewed my first stitches as I watched along with your video. To all the men out there. Sewing isn't just for women!
As a man, I’m well familiar with sewing machines. My mother was a very keen sewer - clothes, furnishings, cushions, curtains, you name it. And she taught me. I’ve had my own machine since I was about 20. I have made my own clothes, but not any more - but any alterations I can do. My wife was amazed to find that I could do all that stuff when we first met 😂. I agree that sewing should be learnt by men too, by the way. 😀
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video! I've never sewn before and have been so intimidated to set up my 4452 that I bought. Watching your video, I was able to set it up, load the bobbin, thread the needle all on the first try! You also gave a lot of tips and information that aren't necessarily in the manual but are so helpful for a total newbie like me. Thank you again!
Brilliant! Complete beginner here who has purchased this machine. I have watched quite a few tutorials but yours is by far the best. Thanks for putting in the effort to help a new sewer out! 😊
My sewing machine was sitting untouched for a year and now thanks to your video and thorough tutorial, I set it up and I'm very excited to start my own projects. Thank you!!
I’m grateful for your videos to aid with my learning curve. I find them very helpful with clear informative directions and the additional thoughtful tips to show safe operating habits are all appreciated

Wow! You are an excellent teacher! Learning to sew has been a goal of mine for several years but I’ve had nobody in my life to mentor me. I bought a machine this weekend because I couldn’t attend my classes this semester. I enjoy how thorough you are with explaining all the features and aspects (I’ve taken several notes!) Now I’m not as overwhelmed as I was a few hours ago 😁 Thank you for helping me start my journey!
Thanks for this tutorial. I was upset that there was no manual come with my new Singer M1500 sewing machine. Fortunately for me --my son --who is a lot smarter than me---told me that there was probably something on You-Tube telling you about the machine & how it works. He was right. He got on my computer on You-Tube and brought it up for me. I loved the fact that the Lady doing this tutorial was so concise---and informative. I don't know if SINGER is paying her for doing this---but I think she deserves a raise. She makes it looks so easy. Thanks--now I can start sewing on my new machine.
I just took my new machine out of the box and watched your tutorial on how to get the thread and the bobbin all set up. It's been about 20 years since I've owned a sewing machine so I needed that little tutorial. 🙂 Thank you!
Thank you so much. Just received my Singer 4452 from Amazon, and this is the best instructions videos. Thanks so much and regards from the Dominican Republic.
This is one of the most thorough and informative videos I have ever watched. I have to admit, I was a little intimidated by the length of the video when I saw the time, but once I started watching it, I was so captivated and it was over (and I gained a TON of knowledge) before I knew it! Thank you for making this!
Thanks so much for the details you gave! This is one great lesson! I’m a retired school teacher and I admire your straight forward comprehension instructions! 42:35
I bought the sewing machine without manual book (was missing) but this video is telling me what to operate and really helpful thank you so much you explained very detail for the beginner like me.
I just bought this machine. Haven't touched a sewing machine since I was a kid, so I scheduled a free lesson that's included but the teacher got sick and had to cancel. This video is probably better than I would have gotten anyway! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! This video is very much worth the time it takes to sit down and watch it all the way through. I've been using sewing machine since I was a small child, and I was pretty much self-taught. I just got a singer heavy duty machine and I wanted to know some of the details about it. But I'm not a read the book type of guy, so I generally look for videos that are 5 minutes or less. This gives you so much more information than just how to use the machine. It's like hanging out with your best friend when they do a brain dump for you on their favorite topic.
Thank you so much! You have no idea how much such positive feedback means :) It's a little difficult at times to film and sew, so I'm so happy to know they are helpful! Thanks for watching!
Just beginning and bought this machine. I had no idea what all these tools and settings did & this video was honestly extremely thorough and I am feeling super inspired. Can’t wait to make something 🎉❤ Thanks Glo friend ✨
Thank you sooo much. I have just bought this machine and knew nothing about it as there were no instructions. While checking the website for the manual I came across you and you have given the best in depth explanation I could have hoped for. I now know what all those little bits are for. I haven’t seen for around 30yrs and things have definitely changed since my simple little Elna with only about 3 stitches and simple threading. Again, thank you very much. ❤
New to the world of sewing. Soooo helpful! Ordering mine today and will be referring back to your video a ton. Thank you for making this. Very grateful.
Your video came on after I finished another tutorial, but I thoroughly enjoyed your southern country drawl, as well as your explanation. I put my singer away and just sat and listened to your video. Thank you!! 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video! It was incredibly useful, it would have taken soooo much longer for me to figure everything out by myself! Love from Manchester, England xx
I have watched a ton of videos and your is the best. You got me started again. I was doing a few things wrong and you showed me the right way. Thank you!!!!!
Just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to you for this video. I just set my first machine up and took my first stitches solo using your guide. Massive help, and I'll probably be referring to your video at least several more times before it's fully filed away.
Thank you! I bought the machine out of boredom to sew my own tshirts to save some money. I took the machine out and had no idea what to do with it. Your video and the step by step instructions helped a lot.
My husband bought this for me today and I was looking up videos about it. So glad I came across your channel! So excited to keep up with all of your sewing tips!
Thank you, I just got a 6380 and this is relatively the same as the Singer 6380HD. This is the best instructional video yet for these type of machines. You did a marvelous job and it was very helpful!
Thank you so much:) I just got my first 'real' sewing machine..the 4452 heavy duty, and I think Singer should be paying you! This was so thorough, and made it so easy for me to set it up as I watched you. Now I'm experimenting and making :) Thank you :)
You are absolutely WONDERFUL! I'm a 70-ish man who lives alone and needs to bite the bullet, buy a decent sewing machine, and start repairing my clothes. Actually doing so, however, was a VERY intimidating prospect-until I stumbled on your video this morning. Because of a lot of on-line research, I was leaning heavily toward the 4452, but your patient, friendly instruction has sold me on this machine. And, you have convinced me that-with your help (via videos)-I CAN learn the basics of setting up and sewing with this machine, at least enough to replace buttons, make buttonholes, hem pants, and maybe even make a camo vest from a pattern. To say that I'm grateful is a huge understatement!
just bought one of these last night because my older machine doesn't do thick stuff and am trying to finish a gift. Anyway, thanks for this video you made , it was very helpful !
I just bought this same machine & I’m happy I found your video. Your the only one who actually showed me the correct way to setup & use this bad boy! Thank you! ✌️❤️😁
You did a fantastic job with this video! Your explanations and demonstrations were so thorough and extremely helpful and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to the holidays being over so I can play with my new heavy duty Singer machine. Oh, and your southern drawl made it even more enjoyable! 😊. Thanks, looking forward to the next video.
Thank you for such a concise tutorial. I have just purchased my machine and not having sewn for many years really appreciated your easy to follow instructions. I was having trouble threading the last three steps, especially the needle. I am now subscribed to your channel. Once again many thanks.
this man has never sown anything in his life. Just got the 4452. It seems so daunting. Have not even unboxed it yet. I think i will need to watch your video a few more times or at the same time i thread the machine. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
Your explanations are fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to show and tell this machine! I am picking this machine up today and am so excited to start using it, thanks to your video! You are wonderful!!!
What a wonderful instructional video! Thank you so much, it was just what I needed. I just purchased a 4452 and feel a lot less intimidated about using it for the first time!
Wow amazing video I received this machine for Christmas! Like attending a class! Awesome. My previous machine, 20 years ago was a Kenmore. Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you so very much for this. It is the best and clearest straigthforward directions/instructions. You made learning so easy , building on each concept one by by, You are the BEST! I will keep coming back to parctice till i can do this! Love that accent as well 😂😂😂
Thank you! I just took my machine out of the box and got going last night. The needle threader about killed me LOL. I messaged Singer about the manual since all I get is a 2 page overview document. Your's is the best vid I've found for a walk through of the machine. Happy stitching!
WoW! This is the best tutorial I have ever seen--not just about sewing but all around great! What a terrific tutorial teacher you are! Thank you so much for all the detailed visuals and explanations. That sticky note hack is genius! I am old school and had to replace my Old Faithful machine so I bought the 4452. That threader gizmo is a challenge for me. I'd rather just poke the thread thru and get on with sewing. LOL I will now binge watch all your videos and subscribe. I also let all the ads play thru as I know it help$ you. Thanks again.
Got this as a wedding present and never touched a machine in my life. I watched this whole video and got to run some fabric through my machine! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Hi, this tour really helped. Im an older man and I make and repair gear I use. Packs, slings, motorcycle gear etc. I bought this machine to do that. I had no idea the presser foot had to be up when threading! That may explain why sometimes it promptly pulled the thread out of the needle on the first stitch. Also I wasnt holding the thread out and turning the wheel to combine the threads after threading
I was going to get the 4423 machine which is in short supply so I opted for machine in this review, glad I did. I am going to start with a cross sling pouch to carry phone. My project is not a pattern so I will learn seam allowance and mock-up for final design. This is all new to me and will lead to projects which will pay for the machine & supplies. New hobby turned serious. Thanks
Very informative video, thank you. I have that same machine which is over 2 years old and haven't taken it out of the box yet, afraid of screwing things up!! LOL! I'll have to unbox and try it. Thank you again.
"I didn't have a film crew" 😆😆😆😁🤣 Cutie Mom!! 😭🤣😂😏🥰I LOVE HER!... She's soooo cute. Thank you, I just bought this machine and just wanted to go over most of the logistics and intricacies. Especially since it doesn't come with instructions on everything besides the HOW TO THREAD IT, which isn't as easy to translate the drawings as they think. I've sewn before on my mother's machine with supervision from her but not much and have some projects I want to now do myself. My mother has passed since then and her pushing me to do some stuff on it on my own helped out alot. Now your explanation regarding my new machine makes it sooooo much easier to work the machine with ease. THANK YOU
I’ve been sewing for 60 years and didn’t know all that info on thread! I just purchased this machine as a back-up and bag making machine and thank you for all the good info!
my daughter just received this machine for her birthday so I recommended this video -- as a mother with a lifetime of sewing, this is the best video on the planet for getting started. Thanks so much.
I love your voice and accent so much.. You're like the perfect American TV mom! Thanks very much for making this detailed and informative video- I bought this model to start learning on and your video was so necessary!! Liked and subscribed!
Winging it didn’t work lol. You just answered all my questions to show me what I was doing wrong . Thanks so much . I love the fact that the machine is not electronic & I can manually adjust.
I just got my machine and I thought what the heck no manual!?! This video was awesome 😅Thank you for your time making it. I’m not a novice but every machine is different so this helped A LOT.
After much trial and error, I have found that proper threading of this machine, and especially, proper thread tension is critial for smooth and uniform stitching. Do not rely on just the numbers on the dial to adjust thread tension, because threads vary by size, thickness, weight and composition. You must actually feel the tension by pulling the thread through the tensioner to determine the correct setting. This is easy to do. Simply thread the machine as usual but stop just before putting the thread through the eye of the needle. Lower the foot, and then you can confirm if the thread tension is too tight or too loose by gently pulling the thread through the machine. This is an extra step that no one mentions, but will eliminate many thread problems.
Very well done. The written Singer instructions that came with the machine left me with some questions but this cleared them all up. It was a great help. I strongly recommend anyone with this machine to have a look at this first.
I just ordered my Singer Heavy Duty 4452 and I should get it in about 3 days, so I am on You tube watching a bunch of videos and this is the best video so far. I am nervous and excited also as I'm new to sewing, I have zero experience, I am learning all these sewing terminology and this video explains everything so well. Thank you so much for your time and very informative video.
Great video, I appreciate all your hard work. You got me up and running, and changed my mind about this machine. I was going to trade it in for the Singer 6380... I''m still thinking about it. I can not wait to see the rest of your videos!! If you ever need a film crew I'm in :)!
Thank you so much! You made threading this machine so easy! Always had trouble with the bobbin with my old machine! You are a great teacher! I have to look for other videos that you've made. (I haven't really sewed using a machine since 8th grade.....back in the 70's 😊
Bought mine Aug last year, have it shipped here and just opened today LoL. It’s been ages since I had my hands on a sewing machine. Thank you for the detailed “walking me through”. Im excited to try this. Big thanks and goodluck on your channel. Subscribed!
I'm learning to sew as a new hobby. I bought my machine yesterday and I'm very eager to begin. This tutorial was very helpful for a beginner like myself. Thank you!
You are awesome! ❤ Thank you for this video. I haven’t used a sewing machine since I took home-ED in high school so you could say I’m a beginner again. So this was such a thorough video to get me started & refreshed! I’m still working on trying to get the needle threader to work for me… will have to practice with that! Lol! God bless you! ❤
Thank you, for your presentation! I am a 69 year old retired man and decided to get a sewing machine and learn to sew. I have been wanting a canvas crutch holder and also a cover for my powered wheel chair. My wife hates sewing. I remember my Dad using my Mothers old Singer sewing machine to make a cover for the family fishing/ski boat, back in the 60's. With help setting up the sewing machine from Mom and a little instruction, Dad made an awesome boat cover. Well I decided if Dad could do it--then--so can I. I bought the Singer 4452 Heavy Duty and had NO idea where to begin. RUclips is wonderful--I found your channel and you got me started! Thank you!😎🤟
I'm so happy it was helpful! I hope your projects are going well!

It’s a good solid machine, that’s for sure!
This is one of the most thorough and informative videos I have ever watched. I have to admit, I was a little intimidated by the length of the video when I saw the time, but once I started watching it, I was so captivated and it was over (and I gained a TON of knowledge) before I knew it!

This video made so much sense. Thank you. I’m buying this for my 15 YO daughter for Christmas. You made this extremely easy to understand ❤
This was fantastic! Thank you! I have had this machine forever and always struggle to thread the machine properly. You made it easy. Thank you!
Yay! I’m so glad it was helpful💕Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much:)
I just got my first 'real' sewing machine..the 4452 heavy duty, and I think Singer should be paying you! This was so thorough, and made it so easy for me to set it up as I watched you. Now I'm experimenting and making :)
Thank you :)
Awesome! I know you will enjoy your new machine!!!
Very nice overview of this machine. You sure did a great job with your camera to show close up and how everything works!!
Thank you! Sometimes I feel like I need 1 more hand😂
Thank you for making such a thorough and thoughtful tutorial!
You are absolutely WONDERFUL! I'm a 70-ish man who lives alone and needs to bite the bullet, buy a decent sewing machine, and start repairing my clothes. Actually doing so, however, was a VERY intimidating prospect-until I stumbled on your video this morning.

To say that I'm grateful is a huge understatement!
Awww, thank you! Never fear, we’ll have you mending those clothes in no time!!!
You think 🤔 this is a good sew machine I think about buy one
just bought one of these last night because my older machine doesn't do thick stuff and am trying to finish a gift. Anyway, thanks for this video you made , it was very helpful !
Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the teaching video. Have not sewn since I was in high school many years ago! This video refreshed my memory & taught me new things too!
I just bought this same machine & I’m happy I found your video. Your the only one who actually showed me the correct way to setup & use this bad boy! Thank you! ✌️❤️😁
Thank you! So grateful for your instruction. This is my first machine and I’m 56 😃
Yay! Perfect timing!
You did a fantastic job with this video! Your explanations and demonstrations were so thorough and extremely helpful and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to the holidays being over so I can play with my new heavy duty Singer machine. Oh, and your southern drawl made it even more enjoyable! 😊. Thanks, looking forward to the next video.
Lol, thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for such a concise tutorial. I have just purchased my machine and not having sewn for many years really appreciated your easy to follow instructions. I was having trouble threading the last three steps, especially the needle. I am now subscribed to your channel. Once again many thanks.
Thanks for your Video…
I haven’t used a sewing machine since 7th grade and I’m in my late 60’s…
Your video is so helpful 😊
Well, welcome back to sewing! I’m so glad the video was a good refresher!
this man has never sown anything in his life. Just got the 4452. It seems so daunting. Have not even unboxed it yet. I think i will need to watch your video a few more times or at the same time i thread the machine. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
You are so welcome! Just relax and have fun!
Your explanations are fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to show and tell this machine! I am picking this machine up today and am so excited to start using it, thanks to your video! You are wonderful!!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad it was helpful!
What a wonderful instructional video! Thank you so much, it was just what I needed. I just purchased a 4452 and feel a lot less intimidated about using it for the first time!
You're so welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Wow amazing video I received this machine for Christmas! Like attending a class! Awesome. My previous machine, 20 years ago was a Kenmore. Thank you so much for this video!
Yay! I’m so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!❤️
Thank you so very much for this. It is the best and clearest straigthforward directions/instructions. You made learning so easy , building on each concept one by by, You are the BEST! I will keep coming back to parctice till i can do this! Love that accent as well 😂😂😂
Thank you for the video. My family gave me this machine for Christmas. There was no manual. So happy I found you.
Yay! I know you will enjoy sewing!
Thank you! I just took my machine out of the box and got going last night. The needle threader about killed me LOL. I messaged Singer about the manual since all I get is a 2 page overview document. Your's is the best vid I've found for a walk through of the machine. Happy stitching!
Yay! I'm so gald it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Wish i found this video first! Best video out there to learn to use this bad boy! Thank you for taking the time to do this!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Just got my machine. It is so much easier to learn by watching someone else. Thanks for making this simple.
WoW! This is the best tutorial I have ever seen--not just about sewing but all around great! What a terrific tutorial teacher you are! Thank you so much for all the detailed visuals and explanations. That sticky note hack is genius! I am old school and had to replace my Old Faithful machine so I bought the 4452. That threader gizmo is a challenge for me. I'd rather just poke the thread thru and get on with sewing. LOL I will now binge watch all your videos and subscribe. I also let all the ads play thru as I know it help$ you. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I’m glad they were helpful! And I’m like you, I can just thread it myself faster than using the threader 🤦♀️
Got this as a wedding present and never touched a machine in my life. I watched this whole video and got to run some fabric through my machine! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful! Enjoy your new machine!
Hi, this tour really helped. Im an older man and I make and repair gear I use. Packs, slings, motorcycle gear etc. I bought this machine to do that. I had no idea the presser foot had to be up when threading! That may explain why sometimes it promptly pulled the thread out of the needle on the first stitch.
Also I wasnt holding the thread out and turning the wheel to combine the threads after threading
Awesome! I’m so glad the video helped! Thanks for watching and good luck on all those repair projects 😊
Thank you for this informative and clear video. I'm so glad I watched it before I started using my new machine!
Awesome! Have fun!
I was going to get the 4423 machine which is in short supply so I opted for machine in this review, glad I did. I am going to start with a cross sling pouch to carry phone. My project is not a pattern so I will learn seam allowance and mock-up for final design. This is all new to me and will lead to projects which will pay for the machine & supplies. New hobby turned serious. Thanks
I'm a beginner and as other have stated, thank you kindly for making an easy to follow tutorial! Much appreciated.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
very clear step to step instructions. It made me feel less nervous about buying my first sewing machine. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful🙂
We bought this machine at Hobby Lobby yesterday so when I get a chance I will watch this video. Thank you!🤗
Congratulations! You’re gonna love it!
@@momdoesstuff it's good to hear something positive about this machine! 😊
Thank you for sharing. We just retired a Singer 362 and bought the Singer 4452.
Ahhh, I know you will miss the 362, but the 4452 should give you many good hours! Thanks for watching!
Very informative video, thank you. I have that same machine which is over 2 years old and haven't taken it out of the box yet, afraid of screwing things up!! LOL! I'll have to unbox and try it. Thank you again.
lol as long as you don’t chunk it out of the window, you won’t hurt that machine 😂It’s solid
I've been using this machine for a few years already, and I learned a few new things with your tutorial. Thank you!!!!
"I didn't have a film crew"
😆😆😆😁🤣
Cutie Mom!!
😭🤣😂😏🥰I LOVE HER!...
She's soooo cute.
Thank you, I just bought this machine and just wanted to go over most of the logistics and intricacies.
Especially since it doesn't come with instructions on everything besides the HOW TO THREAD IT, which isn't as easy to translate the drawings as they think.
I've sewn before on my mother's machine with supervision from her but not much and have some projects I want to now do myself.
My mother has passed since then and her pushing me to do some stuff on it on my own helped out alot.
Now your explanation regarding my new machine makes it sooooo much easier to work the machine with ease.
THANK YOU
Aww, thank you so much!💕
I’ve been sewing for 60 years and didn’t know all that info on thread! I just purchased this machine as a back-up and bag making machine and thank you for all the good info!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
my daughter just received this machine for her birthday so I recommended this video -- as a mother with a lifetime of sewing, this is the best video on the planet for getting started. Thanks so much.
I love your voice and accent so much.. You're like the perfect American TV mom! Thanks very much for making this detailed and informative video- I bought this model to start learning on and your video was so necessary!! Liked and subscribed!
Awesome!!! Thank you!
Winging it didn’t work lol. You just answered all my questions to show me what I was doing wrong . Thanks so much . I love the fact that the machine is not electronic & I can manually adjust.
Thank you! I just received this machine as a birthday gift and I’m so excited to get started! ❤
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
I love your tutorial. I just got this machine and I’m so excited to get to work with it!!!
Im so glad it was helpful! Hopefully, you’ve been enjoying your new machine 🙂
I just got my machine and I thought what the heck no manual!?! This video was awesome 😅Thank you for your time making it. I’m not a novice but every machine is different so this helped A LOT.
Lol, awesome! I’m so glad it was helpful!
21 year old here getting back into sewing. I impulsively bought one of these and your tutorial was just what I needed!!
Yay! That’s a pretty awesome impulse buy in my opinion 😉
After much trial and error, I have found that proper threading of this machine, and especially, proper thread tension is critial for smooth and uniform stitching. Do not rely on just the numbers on the dial to adjust thread tension, because threads vary by size, thickness, weight and composition. You must actually feel the tension by pulling the thread through the tensioner to determine the correct setting. This is easy to do. Simply thread the machine as usual but stop just before putting the thread through the eye of the needle. Lower the foot, and then you can confirm if the thread tension is too tight or too loose by gently pulling the thread through the machine. This is an extra step that no one mentions, but will eliminate many thread problems.
Thank you! I briefly used a sewing machine 20 yrs ago. So it’s been awhile so rusty & excited & I have the 32 of my he heavy duty
You are so welcome!! Have fun!
Great tutorial! Using my daughter's machine to sew my torn work coveralls. Haven't sewn since Home Ec. in high school - I'm 60. I got this!
Yes! You will love it!
Very well done. The written Singer instructions that came with the machine left me with some questions but this cleared them all up. It was a great help. I strongly recommend anyone with this machine to have a look at this first.
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and recommending!
Thank you for your tutorial. Have been reading the manual, but with your step by step instruction, I could now try it on my own. Thank you again. ❤
Thanks so much. I really needed this great walk-through. Just started working with my 4452 and didn't know where to start.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
I just ordered my Singer Heavy Duty 4452 and I should get it in about 3 days, so I am on You tube watching a bunch of videos and this is the best video so far. I am nervous and excited also as I'm new to sewing, I have zero experience, I am learning all these sewing terminology and this video explains everything so well. Thank you so much for your time and very informative video.
Awesome! I know you will enjoy your new machine!
Excellent instructions! It's been years since I've sewn anything and am now venturing into a business with sewing!!!
Great video, I appreciate all your hard work. You got me up and running, and changed my mind about this machine. I was going to trade it in for the Singer 6380... I''m still thinking about it. I can not wait to see the rest of your videos!! If you ever need a film crew I'm in :)!
Your video is very helpful! My daughter and I just got ours, and your video made learning about the machine a lot faster and easier 😊
Thank you so much! You made threading this machine so easy! Always had trouble with the bobbin with my old machine! You are a great teacher! I have to look for other videos that you've made. (I haven't really sewed using a machine since 8th grade.....back in the 70's 😊
Bought mine Aug last year, have it shipped here and just opened today LoL. It’s been ages since I had my hands on a sewing machine. Thank you for the detailed “walking me through”. Im excited to try this. Big thanks and goodluck on your channel. Subscribed!
Thank you so much! I hope you have so much fun with your machine!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this! Extremely helpful. You have a knack for teaching!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I'm learning to sew as a new hobby. I bought my machine yesterday and I'm very eager to begin. This tutorial was very helpful for a beginner like myself. Thank you!
Awesome! I know you are going to enjoy learning to sew!
You are awesome! ❤
Thank you for this video. I haven’t used a sewing machine since I took home-ED in high school so you could say I’m a beginner again. So this was such a thorough video to get me started & refreshed!
I’m still working on trying to get the needle threader to work for me… will have to practice with that! Lol!
God bless you! ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad it was a good refresher for you ☺️Thanks for watching!
I finally got a sewing machine yesterday like I always wanted. Thank you for creating this video. You are amazing!
Oh, congratulations! I know you are going to enjoy seeing!
Super helpful. Never sewed before today and after your video I'm off and running. Thanks!
