THANK YOU! I've had my brother for about 6 years now and had NEVER cleaned it! I didn't realize how often it needed it. My poor "little brother" was a dust pit! I was having so much trouble with it and couldn't figure out why. He's doing so much better now!
Thank you for all the information. The information from 8:08 - 9:25 very discriptive. Using a coin for removing and reinstalling the screws very good idea. I wasted my money on elongated screw driver set from amazon ($8.00 US).
Great video and I am Soo glad you showed those areas in bobbin are. Great job. As from earlier having panic attack. Told my husband I broke my machine. I went back up to my sewing room sat back down. Cussing myself for not covering the area so no screws would drop. I dropped a screw. Know I know how it goes together. I holler to him I dropped a screw down in. He tore my machine apart. He discovered a screw didn't need to be somewhere. I looked something wasn't right. He said but it's the only screw that would work, so he took it apart and said oh I know. So he replace a screw somewhere. Then he said I have one left over. I am holding my breath. Then he said I know what. So he took all screws out, put it all back together. I threaded the machine did the bobbin and it runs like a dream!! Thank you for your video.
yes you are absolutely correct check your sewing machine manual but please kindly consider a video tutorial for how to thread and operate the sewing machine since some people find it easier to learn from watching a video rather than trying to figure out a manual please kindly consider this and let me know OK?thank you very much
ditto with david & lori. your video very easy to follow. and now my machine is running much better. i even found a thread trapped in the bobin workings, well that explains alot. i will never going to let it get that bad again and i know i can come back to video for guidance. thank you for the tip on not needing oil.
What a great trick with marking the needles! When I was younger, I never did enough sewing to know I needed different needles, much less that I needed to discard them {& there was no RUclips to tell me ;-)}. Having come back to it, I've just been using needles & putting them back in the case. Shame on me! Haha!
We grew up with only changing the needles when they broke or bent…it’s a game changer to change needles often. I always use my coupons at Joann’s on needles or buy on Minerva if I’m making a good sized order.
@@onelisashow Haha! Yup, we're one of the "waste not, want not" generations. Used to be, you could find reasonable quality needles on Ebay, or Amazon. They've upped their prices, considerably. Thanks for the tip! I'll check out JoAnn's coupons. They bombard me with so many emails, & I never buy fabric or notions from them, so I rarely look at the emails. One of our thrift stores has a 99 cent rack, with a lot of designer clothes, made with high quality fabric, etc., so I grab nearly all of my notions & fabric from that. Problem is, they're so high quality, it takes a ridiculous amount of picking french seams, & sturdy fabric, etc.😏
No, I have not. I just made my first quilted project last month actually, and it was a dog coat. I didn't free style it, I just sewed straight lines to create a diamond shape.
I use coats and Clark or gutterman. Actually, I found a very old spool of Walmart thread about 20 years old and although it was not the best thread, it worked fine.
hello very nice sewing machine please kindly film how to thread the sewing machine and how to wind the bobbin please OK?please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much

Thank you! I’m actually finding cleaning my machine vey satisfying after every few projects.
I don't think I've cleaned my machine or changed my needle since I bought it years ago. I definitely need to download the manual.
You should! It’s very helpful!
Good tutorial and a great tip on marking the part used needles.
Thank you! Yes, I don’t see a need to throw out needles that have some life still in them.
Lisa you’re my hero!!
Lol thank you!

Thanks this is really useful . very well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I have a slightly different Brother and I have the manual. I just needed to see how some of the pieces were removed and inserted.
Glad I could help
Thank you ma'am.
Have you ever free styled quilted on this machine?
No, I have not. I just made my first quilted project last month actually, and it was a dog coat. I didn't free style it, I just sewed straight lines to create a diamond shape.
Saved a big headache!!
Good! Thanks for watching!
What thread would you recommend for brother xl2600i? Please and thank you 🙏
I use coats and Clark or gutterman. Actually, I found a very old spool of Walmart thread about 20 years old and although it was not the best thread, it worked fine.
I think I got except I dropped damn screw inside the whole machine now
The piece that holds the bobbin is what I believe messed up. I do hope there is a clear view how it goes back. Please. Please.
hope the video helped you figure it out!
I looked this up after I tried to put mine back together and did a test, no one thread major mess up
I hope you found the video helpful
I think I screwed mine up big time! Things just are not right at all. I am hoping this will show a clear picture where the bobbin goes into
How is it now?
@@onelisashow oh running like a champ! Thank you so much for your video
hello very nice sewing machine please kindly film how to thread the sewing machine and how to wind the bobbin please OK?please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much
I would suggest checking your manual on threading the sewing machine and bobbin, thank you very much
Gracias, ojalá tuviera subtitulo en español me serian muy útiles Gracias 😊
My manual doesn't have that in mine.
I wonder if we don't have the same machine? You can look up the manual for any brother sewing machine on the brother website, hope that helps!
Perché la macchina non cuce
I use this machine all the time and make 90% of my clothes with this machine!!
