"Right away - without practicing" Very wise precautionary words. And like driving - it takes practice and the ability to see what is ahead of you. (14:Min),
Thanks for helping all of us on our various levels of experience and journeys. At 60+ I can agree 100% , practice is essential.
Really greeat! I am an absolute beginner of machine embroidery and you have inspired me to start with metallic threads. Thank you.
The flower you just embroidered, but didn't know the name of, it is the common dandelion!! Enjoyed the video, so much.....Just beautiful!!
Wow! I never knew this could be done. I found your videos by chance, I am a new subscriber. Beautiful work with clear instructions. Thank you
Beautiful free motion embroidery can even be done on an antique Singer Treadle Sewing Machine. Thank you for an awesome video!
AT LAST someone who sounds as though they know what they are talking about. Thank you - for your clear, concise and instructive video....

This was so amazing. I want to put it on something right away. All the things you create are just absolutely beautiful and inspiring.
Christopher, thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge. I'm only a few minutes into this video and already inspired, AND loving every second of it. I've never done any machine embroidery before and definitely going to give it a try now!
I have always wanted to learn this , thank you for leaving your corporation behind the desk job, and sharing your talents with this beautiful world.
Best video for teaching how to embroider on basic machine. You are a great teacher, clear instructions and video. Thank you.
Spectacular!!! I love it. I've never seen this technique before. I'm very new to machine embroidery.
Thank you so much. I have been sewing and doing embroidery for 40yrs. But I have been nervous of doing machine embroidery....your precise instructions have encouraged me to try. 😊
Well worth the watch. I typically don't watch 40+ minutes videos on sewing, but this 40 minute video taught me more than the years my mother spent teaching me (sorry mom). I feel like I've just stepped out a university class after watching this video. His advice is really solid, I had flimsy wooden embroidery hoop in my amazon cart and after watching this I realize I will need something stronger.
This was quite exhilarating watching the outcome of the small unique piece of Art. I've always wondered how it was done and I was just scrolling through RUclips and found your video. Thank You for sharing your ideas and tips with us. ❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯
‘You are what you Love’ and it shows, thank you for this video, i just bought an Embroidery Only machine yesterday, BUT, I wish I saw your video first as I have 3 sewing machines.
i've been waiting for YEARS for instruction on embroidery using a 'regular' sewing machine. i want complete control in order to express my original designs. Christopher Nejman's teaching techniques are truly excellent as he combines great design examples with CLEAR language about what he is doing step by step. I can't wait to see ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS Christopher because they are not the usual "crafty" cheap looking ( disposable) stuff. Apologies to crafters, but executing your own precious work is a different matter.
Beautiful! Almost looks like its real that it could make a hummingbird alight on it Thank you for showing the video and doing all that labor of love.
i remember my mom doing this in 1983. she was doing this on her own before the Internet.
Well, as a florist I can appreciate the passion you have for what you are doing. I have that passion for weddings. Due to the economy being the way it is there are not many jobs out in my field and my 2nd passion always has been sewing and knitting. So this is what I am doing now. The flowers with the "fuzzies" are the Dandelions. I love your videos and I am going to build a worktable around my sewing machine. Your videos are great. I bet your wife loves what you do.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us. I have had 3 expensive sewing machines, and I gave them to my daughter. Now, I am using an inexpensive electronic model and didn't believe that I would ever be able to do free motion embroidery. Now, I know that I can and am anxious to try it. Again, thank you so much for sharing your talents.
I’ve been searching for a computer embroidery machine for months but not only found that they are thousands of dollars I just couldn’t find one. After searching for videos on how to do free machine embroidery I found you and may I say, you’re the best! You explain stet by step and in English!!! I was also convinced that an old Singer machine would best and hope to find one. Thank you, thank you Christopher and look forward to all your video and books.
I would like to know the namecor brand of that machine. The outcome if your job is do nice. I'm also obterested in joigning your sewing group.
You are an adorable wise teacher!! Thank you for sharing these basic techniques!!!
I would like to say thank you for a very informative video ,I have learned more in the past 30 mins ,Than 20yrs of freehand embroidery ,now all I have to do is put it into practice so thank you once again , much appreciated
I don't see part 2 either. Grandmother gave me her 1957 Singer Slantomatic back ine the 70s before she passed away. I have used it many years and recently had it cleaned and restored by a professional. I was excited to find your video because I want to do some small projects with free motion technique...my own sketches to stitches.
Thank you so much I am working on a wedding dress and will try this technique, but will rehearsal first. You give so clear instruction well done
Hi Christopher, I love your free motion embroidery video. Can you please make that part 2 video LOL I love learning and I'm on hold right now. I want to learn from YOU. I just got the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960. Just so I could do everything on it. I'm still looking for an old Singer. Boy they are hard to fine. LOL. Thank you for all the GREAT video's.
I've never seen free motion embroidery done like that before; great stuff :-)
I'm a newbie and came across your channel. Love the metallics. Your teaching is so very helpful. Thank You :)
Oh, I love this thread. I'm going to confess that almost everything I sew I use this thread. You might ask why, because it slips through the needle without catching and hardly a drop of fuzz. I love how it looks.
Christopher you have outdone yourself on this video. I'm so happy I came across you. I will be following you on youtube. thank you so much for doing this.
this was fantastic...I liked the part of wrapping the inside hoop...can't wait for part two.
So the old Singers work really really well. So they should keep making them like that too.
I just hadn't realised that this was possible on a standard sewing machine. My head is now bursting with ideas and I'm going shopping for a embroidery foot etc. Hopefully the beginning of some great experimentation - the best bit of learning a new skill.
Thank you for taking the time to share your passion. I feel inspired and happy to experiment with beautiful metallic threads. My own passion for learning new techniques has led me through some unexpected avenues.
Your video is wonderful! It goes to show you are never too old to learn something new. I did. Thanks, Lesli
I am so thrilled to have watched your video. You gave some very strong advice and great recommendations that I feel confident to practice these techniques myself. I can’t wait to watch this again and get started. Thank you, thank you!!!💞
Hi Christopher...I'm so happy I found you. I have been sewing as a child I learn by watching my mom sew, Now of course I'm an adult still love sewing. Love your tutorials, I make doggie clothes and would like to learn to make my own embroided initials on my clothes. Watching this is just amazing to me that I don't have to spend money upgrading my machine "Who New" thank you for that! looking forward to part 2. Thanks again your an inspiration!
Christopher, thank for sharing your technique.I've been following you for several years now and you're a fantastic teacher.
Thank you so much for this video, I have put off trying free motion for years because I thought that I wouldn't be able to do it after a couple of attempts but having watched this video I realise I was doing it all wrong, now I am thinking of applique plus free motion embroidery, must have a bash this weekend.
That is one of the most beautiful sewing machines I've ever seen...!
Thanks for sharing your video. Love the flower (dandelion). I mostly do tactical sewing on gear and equipment but I have always wanted to do free motion on my Singer Heavy Duty 4432 but I didnt think I could because of my equipment. Keep up the good work and thanks again.
I am trying to expand my skills. I'm a longarm quilter and avid piercer . Thank you for your videos. I love your style and teaching style.
Thank You so much for these videos I love working metallic's I have a singer Embroidery Machine just there entry level Machine but I break so many needles and thread nests I have almost given up until I saw these videos
i want to cry your work is just beautiful and i just finished embroidering a bag and i wished i had watch this video first
Awesome results and thank you for the tips and techniques. I learned this years ago on my mechanical machine too. I used a preprinted fabric with pansies on it for color guidance.
Oh my gosj... I just came across your channel and love you. I have forever wanted to do machine embroidery and to scared to try. Your videos are amazing and fully educational. I can now finish an heirloom quilt I started 16 years ago for my daughter. Thank you.
This technique also works quite qwell on my ol' treadle machine.
While there is no facility to use two spools, this is easy to get around - instead of using two spools use two bobbins instead of spools, one on top of the other.
Like the man said - ya gotta think outside the box ...
Huge respect to this guy, so glad I came across his channel, talk about professional content
LOVE the results!! I so appreciate you sharing your techniques in this series under development, Christopher. You have a wonderful way with people and providing instruction with your 'can-do' attitude. Thank you!!
I am new to watching youtube. i have been sewing for years, thought
I am thrilled to learn about embroidery, and myself getting excited about learning more. thanks for the inspiration!
OMG this is absolutely fabulous! I've never done free motion simply because I've been totally intimidated. Your instructions are so detailed and precise, I think I may be willing to give it a try. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the great video.
I never thought about doing this. Thank you I have learned a lot from watching our programs.
so that's why I break needles, because I am moving my hoop quicker than the needle repetitions. Thank you Christopher, love listening to your banter.
Your tip about the bobbin thread was fabulous. i am brand new at this. working on my first project, not really knowing what i am doing and have NOT ONCE has the bobbin broken. thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.
sarahleah hankes All the tips are very important. That ergonomic tip is really important too. I did as he said and practised and it sunk in really quick why. Even the sounds he said to listen to was very key to my fast progress. What got me hooked was when he mentioned in other countries they use really old singers. I looked right over at my 1893 singer in the treadle base and said to myself, ok I will try this!! I tried and watched the video again and picked up more tips that I forgot.
Was looking for Part 2 can't wait for the update. I enjoyed your Part 1. I have never used the extension tables before and have always sewn housewife style. Recently bought a Pfaff 2144 with an upgrade to 2170 and it came with a extension table which I was not sure if I'd even want to use but I may give it a try now for more projects. Thanks for the info. :)
It's nice to hear you talk about how well the old mechanical Singers work - you're right!
I just found you today on You tube. Love your teaching style and look forward to more tutorials!
Thank you for this delightful video. I do have an embroidery machine , but this video has shown me what I could do, with practice , without it! I shall certainly give it a go and as you say practice, practice, practice.
Never thought one could do this on a regular sewing machine. I have a embroidery machine, Pfuff. I doing quilting and like what I see. Thank you.

I only have a plastic hoop that is like the wooden one
I liked this. Very informative and I liked how you reminded not to rush and practice on scrap and you didn't go too fast, you were consistent. Thank you
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your techniques with us. I've always wondered about machine embroidery & was never sure if you really could do much on a mechanical machine. Mine is old but was medium to top of the line at the time. It's has great stitch control, so you've just made me feel more comfortable in giving it a go! I wouldn't have thought of metallic thread to begin with, but I can see how it could help hide in perfectionist etc. I LOVE the combination threads you used, made the most GORGEOUS colours. Thanks again, and liked & subscribed :))

AMAZING! everything you said about this tutorial is true and correct. I know from growing up with an amazing lady who did a lot of embroidery works in her time, traditional and exquisite. thanks for sharing this video.
This was amazing. Such beautiful flowers you could almost touch them. Just like dandelions from my youth. He is certainly an artist. This was a fun video to watch him create such a gorgeous piece of art..
My initial thought was "I can't imagine how much thread he uses". Haha you stole the words right out of my mouth. It's totally worth it though!
I love doing hands on things from construction to woodworking and even sewing, as long as I am not setting behind a desk at a 9-5 job.
THANK YOU for sharing your talent & expertise with us! SO GRATEFUL!
What a lovely generous man you are going to so much trouble to share you gift with us. Thank you so much.
I tried doing this on an old Singer model 66 with instructions from an antique Singer Art Embroidery book and had the hardest time controlling the needle! You make it look so easy.
Thanks for a well-done free motion embroidery lesson, You're a very talented instructor. Looking forward to more sewing videos.
I've loved this video. Will watch again and again before I try for myself. Looking forward to getting started. Thank you so much.
Stunning work, Christopher! Thank U so much for sharing your talents and passion. Life is so short... Danielle
Thank you I just got my moms machine and all of her supplies this is so helpful in how to use and what to do
WOW! Please don't wait until you get a million views, I would be heart broken, or dead!@ I love your work. I want more.
So much fun watching and learning so very much...Nan
Where is part 2? I'm needing to learn this!
Could you please do a tutorial using some of those "really, really old" Singers/machines? We vintage machine lovers would love to see that!
rpgroupie I am currently trying this out on a 1893 singer vs2/27 with the dogwood decals. It is not a zigzag machine, yet if you watch the video close you can mimic the movement with practice. I practiced working the treadle at slow to fast speeds using music to keep the beat to and not having the thread or even the bobbin. Then I put in some Final Touch top thread and some old bobbin thread that was already on the bobbin I got with the machine. It worked out good for a first try, or so I thought. The top thread gets pulled to the bobbin side and the bobbin thread sometimes goes to the top without stopping and fiddling with the tension in any manner. I didn't have one needle strike any metal and never broke any needles, due to the practice with music I think.
Hi Christofer Nejman, Thanks very much for sharing. I'd much joy listening you. I think you love what you are doing. I like the sewing machine you have. It must cost like a car. I do believe it. pls. tell us about your book. Thanks very much.
Ty, Christopher! I wondered how I was to do this. Just got a VTG Domestic Rotary, have VTG singer coming and a cpl singers. None made with embroidery. Thankful for your videos. Blessings to all!
This is such a GREAT video. I too have always wanted to do free motion embroidery but thought it would be hard. I can see that with practice it should be fairly simple. Thank you so much for your helpful techniques. Love that simple design that turned out way more than elegant!
The tip with the twill on the inside hoop is great! I didn't have twill tape but tons of scrap fabric. Some of them don't really frey, I've cut it in longer strips, wrapped my 3 (different sized) hoops and glued it at the end with a tiny drop of glue. Awesome! I don't have an embroidery foot. I embroider the way I found in a very very old singer booklet : take off the presser foot and the holder (in my case a snap on), make sure the feet in the bottom are down and off you go 😊
what a wonderful video. Can't wait to try this out and I'm looking forward to part 2. Thanks!
hi Christopher Great idea on the extension table. I just recently stumbled on your youtube videos. I really enjoy your tutorials. I thought i would offer One little trick when cutting out the material to prevent it from chipping. If you place painters tape or masking tape works too on the material in the area you will be cutting and then draw your lines along the tape; when cutting through the tape and material it will keep it from chipping the top of the melamine as the jigsaw slices through the material. Little trick i had see when working in the construction industry, plumbers and cabinet persons use it all the time when cutting out counter tops for sinks or other appliances to prevent the top from chipping.
After watching this video I am definitely going to try this. Your video explains things so well. Thank you
wow, awsome, thank you i was getting ready to buy an embroidery machine, because i didn;t think i could embroider on my sewing machine.
very nice demonstration, thank you, I am now encouraged more.
Old Union machine next to me: hehe you gonna be here forever😜
My grandma learned it in a month she did so many beautiful piece.
Absolutely loved it and it comes at a time I need to know how to do it. I know what you mean about a table extension. I am so happy to have come across your video and look forward to more. It helps to surf the net I have learned so much and not in a classroom. Thank you so much.
Always learn new things from you Chris I wish I lived close to u to have one on one teaching
Thank you for this video. Learned alot. About the hoop and also about the top pressure release. Didnt think about that.
You have inspired me to start sewing again,thank you!
What a great video, easy to understand how to do this. I'm so excited to do this on my Textima Veritas machine soon. Thank you
I never heard of free motion embroidery, thanks for sharing : )
With patience you can do this on any machine. I started with an old Singer treadle machine that had a motor added later. It could only do straight stitch but free motion sewing was possible. A machine with zig-zag makes the job a lot easier. I've done pieces where the threads are the same colour as the fabric to give a texture rather than sparkle. Metallic needles have rounder eye holes so they don't break the yarn as easily but if you're experimenting with ordinary threads then a standard needle will work.
Love watching your embroidery, it's inspiring..
What a wonderful video, excellent demonstration and so professional, many thanks.
Thanks for your tips . didn't know about the bobbin threads.😊. 😁 beautiful .
Wow look so beautiful, shine like gold chains, you are a great teacher , thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, i Really enjoyed watching. Can`t wait for Part 2,
Very nice! I love the two threads mixed together. Just beautiful!
I am so excited and I love your machine. I am going to practice the machine embroidery. Thanks for sharing.
