It has taken me 4 hours to try to get my machine's bobbin correct and I know how to sew! This is a new machine and nothing helped until this. So appreciated

Jorge Castellanos the vacuum bags are made with small fiberglass particles that can damage the lungs so you don't want to use that (I had to cancel my amazon order after finding this out). Use air filters instead. 1500 or 2200 Filtrete. There's a video that shows how to get the filter out. You'll get a ton of filters out of it!
This is my first experience with sewing and if it wasn't for this video I would probably be returning the machine in the next days. Thank you so much for explaining to me exactly what to do!
Thank You so much. I always forget and I love coming back here. I never comment. But you definitely deserve to know how helpful this video is. Thanks Again.
I'm not even two minutes in but I have to comment just to say I freaking love you, lady. You're a Rockstar when it comes to composure behind that camera. I hope sincerely you're still making videos. I needed this. You're so kind about teaching and making sure to be slow, steady, and clear. It's great. Are you a teacher? You absolutely live up to your handle. Cool, calm April. Thanks so much for this.
Loved your tutorial. Your delivery is very informative and not full of a lot of "fluff". A bottom line, chill kind of lady. Just what is needed by this "newbie" who hasn't touched a sewing machine in 50 years. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This tutorial was EXTREMELY HELPFUL especially with personal touches like "shape like the letter P" really made it easy to visualize what it should look like! Thank you!!!
I prayed God would help me find someone who was easy to understand & explain. I am 75, have arthritis & neuropathy in my hands, & have had a stroke, which slows my thinking down. I haven't sewed in years. I had a seamstress friend, & when I had to move, my dtr did my mending. She doesn't anymore. BUT!!! God answered my prayer & gave me you!! So calm. So patient. Bless you!
April you are so cool! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I haven't sewn for over 30 years, and had forgotten the basics of threading the sewing machine & the bobbin.
I was rusty on using my brother sewing machine and this video brought me right up to speed! I also learned some new things 😅😁 thanks for posting this video!!!
Hello, I am a granny ''new bee''...first time using a machine. My LX3817 was delivered today and I wasn't sure how the bobbin was to be inserted properly. The manual didn't help at all and the DVD won't play in my outdated laptop. Thank you so much for this video. I will come back to it whenever I am unsure of installation. I, know eventually things will begin to flow...once I become used to utilizing my machine. New subscriber, God bless you.
Thank you for creating and sharing this video! I am a hands on/visual learner and this was so helpful! I received my first sewing machine/LX3817 for Christmas (2020) and it has been sitting in the box for 2 months. I had a friend show me how to sew some simple pillows on her machine before Christmas. I just drug my new sewing machine from the spare room and I am going to attempt to make some curtains for the windows on our front and back door this week. Hopefully you have some tutorials on how to make simple pocket rod curtains. I will definitely be looking for some of your other sewing tutorials! Thanks again!
I had to come here to figure out how to load the bobbin.....thank God for your videos....this new machine is a Brother and my last one wasn't...everything loads the opposite way....I have been sewing for 50 yrs and my poor old eyesight cant see the little stuff....THANK YOU !!
You have no clue how much I appreciate your videos. I love how you are detailed, slow at speaking to the folks watching and you assume we are all beginners which i know i am. I just bought this machine after years of talking about it. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you. You showed me what I was doing wrong when I put in a new bobbin. Now I have to figure out the 1/4" seam. I may holler at you for more help. Again Thank you.
I was frustrated all day from how load my bobbin to threading the whole machine and threading the bobbin in the bottom part. It's been a long time since I sewed. You helped me out alot I'm so glad I came across your video thank you so much keep up the good teaching.
Thank you! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out this bobbin, how to thread it and place it. That letter "P" u mention is helpful! I'm a visual learner lol
I have been trying to figure out how to do this by the book and have had NO luck. Now, I can get busy on my first great grand baby's blanket my granddaughter wanted me to make. I subscribed for future reference! Thank you so much!
I’m horrible at reading directions and visualizing them, so I’ve been putting off using my sewing machine for almost a year bc I couldn’t figure out how to thread it! thank you so much❤️❤️ you’re a lifesaver
Thank you for helping me thread my sewing Machine... For some reason, I had not sown in 1- week and my sewing machine acting as though it, didn't want to stay threaded., it kept breaking so I thought Maybe I have the bobbing threaded wrong.. I'm hoping all is well know , that I have been refreshed with practice.. Have a blessed day!❤
Thank you so much!! I was trying to follow the instructional DVD that came with my Brother machine and it was so confusing. They should include your RUclips video with every machine. I appreciate you more than you know! 🙌🏾
This was so helpful! I couldn’t figure out why my bobbin wouldn’t start to fill up. Then I saw your steps and realized that I forgot to move it over. 🙃
OMG THANK YOU! THANK YOU! so much I have been hand sewing for years decided to buy this machine about 2.5 years ago and could never get it to work properly! Thank you!
Very helpful. I worked at threading the bobbin for long time. I am so glad I decided to seek some help on my computer. Your video saved the day. Thank you.
Thank you so much! This is the first machine that I have owned with a drop-in bobbin and I was getting SO frustrated! You explained it very well and made it easy.
Yesss this video was very helpful. I'm a beginner and this is my first machine so taking the steps slowly like you did made it so much easier to understand! Thanks so much!!
Omg!!!! Thank you so much for this video. I bought this sewing machine for my daughter 2 years ago and we could not figure it out. It has literally been sitting until today.
Thank you so much. I have never sewed before I am making a pretty bag and alot of mistakes. I have been at it for days. It was supposed to be simple. Since we are shut in it gives me something to do.
This video was extremely helpful I’ve alway struggled with using sewing machines because i couldn’t figure it out now i feel more confident thank you so much !
The absolute best memories I had with my mother was when she would sew the most beautiful outfits for me. I would buy an outfits from the mall and she would recreate it to a much higher quality and then I would get my money back. I wish I had asked her to teacher me, but I was only her mannequin😂 I bought a sewing machine around 1992-93 and the front-loading bobbin kept jamming up. I only made a vest and then a co-worker asked if she could borrow it, and I never saw my machine again. Now 30 years later I'm about to buy this machine from Walmart for only just $88.
Thank you for showing this. I’m looking for a simple machine for simple projects. I’m going to look for your video on threading with this machine next. I haven’t bought the machine yet.
April you are theeee best,my first time doing it and it went like I was a pro. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world, and I had to subscribe!
Like like like your videos! I've learned all from you, so thanks. You're a really great teacher, so sweet and goes straight to the point. Thanks again. Great channel
Thank you, very good instructions. I've been a lifelong seamstress, but I never had a machine where the bobbin lay flat. Again, great job.
It has taken me 4 hours to try to get my machine's bobbin correct and I know how to sew! This is a new machine and nothing helped until this. So appreciated
I LOVE THIS VIDEO 🫶 More helpful than the actual Brother video.
Girl thank you!! I was following the steps in the book and wasn’t successful but you made it a lot easier for me to follow!
You're welcome! Glad the video was helpful to you.
The book is bad. There’s a CD but I don’t have a CD player.
I don't comment much, but you are a lifesaver. I was about to return the machine, now I can sew masks for my family. Thank you.
Your welcome! What materials are you using for the mask? Thinking about a few for my family too.

@@coolcalmapril6850 BTW Walmart has genuine Brother bobbins that are the right kind for this machine model.
@@hummingbirdlady11 I didn't even think to check Walmart for bobbins, thanks for the tip!
@@coolcalmapril6850 For the LX3817 be sure to get the brother bobbins and not the Singer bobbins.
