You are absolutely amazing! Teaching what you’ve learned to others and being humble! From one hairstylist to another I ask God to bless you in every way he can!
I dont understand why their are people who dislike this video.Somebody took the time out of their schedule to give information and some people just dislike it.Really!Thank u girl.Your videos is highly appreciated here.
Ms. E. this was an amazingly detailed tutorial on how to thread a sewing machine. You are blessed because you freely share your knowledge and gift with the world. You are truly a humble and beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. May God continue to allow you to find favor.
Thank you! I’ve had this sewing machine for about 20 years & just got the courage to get back to it. Sometime ago, I gave up because I always go through bobbing issues. Hopefully now I can sew with little interruptions.
Thank you Ericka you taught me how to use a sewing machine I’m so grateful been using it for over a year now thanks to you. Had to stop by and say thanks.. 🙏🏽 because of you my ponytail brand is able to flourish with less work by hand #grateful
When I say thankuuuuu,,yesss this is my first time opening up my Singer,had it for about 8mnths now but was afraid,,,watched your vid.rewind a couple of times,,and got it!!!Thanks to your clear,simple instructions....
I love you SOOO much for making these videos. it’s been soo hard for me to understand how to set things up but you make EVERYTHING SOOOO SIMPLE!! Thank you for being so patient and gracious in teaching this craft!! God bless you sis ! 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
While these instructions seem to work, they are not quite according to manufacturer’s instructions, and they are not utilizing all the cool, user friendly features this machine has to offer: 1-winding the bobbin can be done without holding the thread, although this technique might be just as easy. Follow the dotted guide lines printed on top of the machine. 2-Machine is threaded incorrectly for sewing. Follow illustrated instructions on top of machine. The solid guide lines are for threading the machine for sewing. Do not pass thread around the metal button on top-that is for winding/loading the thread onto the bobbin only and will cause tension problems in some sewing situations. Again, look at the solid guide lines on top of the machine. 3-this machine has a feature that will thread the needle for anyone who has a hard time doing so (to the left of the needle is a device you pull down and it pivots around and snags the thread and pulls it through the eye). This is the trickiest feature because, at least on my machine, the needle has to be in the perfect position both up vertically and horizontally for this feature to work perfectly. Hope this helps first time users or people who were having problems.
Thank you! Brought back memories of when my Grandma had her sewing business but she sewed clothing and upholstery furniture. So many memories. I’ve been making wigs by hand for a very long time and it’s time to upgrade...Great video, Sis! ♥️🙏🏾
Girl I just got a sewing machine and I set it up yesterday. Babyyyy let me tell you I wanted to give up and I even broke a needle but I sew on one track on a cap and I felt so accomplished. Now I can’t wait to continue And see my brand grow. Thanks sis sooo much for this 💕I love you
You are amazing at explaining things. You make the process seem less stressful. I’ve been sewing since I was little but I’m extremely new to the wig making world but honestly I feel confident starting now. Thanks girl!
I'm sewing a dress for my school dance, and I haven't used a sewing machine in a long time, so this helps a lot!! Tysm 🥺 and I'm gonna keep using this method ❤️
Okay, how did you know that I struggle with this!?! LOL Girl, thank you for this video. I can't thread my sewing machine to save my life. I have pretty much given up on machine sewing. However, your video really helped show me. I am going to pull that baby out once again and give it another try.
Hi Ericka! I have a learning disability that made me put off trying to learn how to sew for a really long time! i finally have decided to learn how to work a machine, and you were the first video that i found very easy to understand!! thanks for being very helpful as i try to navigate my new-found hobby!
I have a singer sewing machine and I think its time I start sewing my wigs on the machine....thanks for the video..Love your video by the way....love from St. Vincent
I literally have watched this 50 times. Because I just got my sewing machine. I have been hand making. I’m not versed in this. That you this is very helpful.
Thanking God for you everyday! 9 times out of 10 if someone needs to know how to sew they need to know how to set the machine up right ?? 👏 thank you for being FULLY transparent ❤
The model 2277 Tradition is the one I have and is having problems getting the thread in the needle either using the automatic threader or doing it manually. I made sure that the flat part of the needle is to the rear, but it is difficult to put the needle in, and also threading the needle. I worked last night trying to thread my needle and to get the thread through it after watching the video on doing that for the forth time.
Thanks! I have the SM024 and the bobbin works the same. I have been having issues with my thread 'munging' up on the underside of my work and thought maybe I was doing something wrong with the bobbin placement. Turns out I was doing it correctly (like you). Time to check my tension, I guess.
Not bad! This is the most helpful I’ve come across, I’m a beginner lol so I’ll be back again to look at this video. 🤣 too many steps seems like. Thank you! ❤️
God bless you Ericka! You’re truly the goat 🐐! I have to see you when you come back to Miami!! I pray God bless you beyond borders and beyond your expectations! It’s truly a blessing to genuinely want to teach people
I watched a video that says ,if you want to sew wigs more conveniently ,remove that last white box you used in closing the thread part of the machine,this will help weft to go round the sewing needle easily and give you more space on the machine while sewing.
Hi, Grandma!! Thanks so much for this, I've been trying to get motivated to make wigs again. I will definitely be trying to make them now with a machine instead.
MMMMMAAAAANNNNNNN I want to thank you for sharing such informative info on this cause I'm over making these wigs by hand!!!! Purchasing my sewing machine today :- )
Quick question what needles do you use for your sewing machine when making your wigs? And I have a whole spool of weaving thread that I used for making my wig by hand, can I use that on my machine?
I have a question. When you get to the end of a row and you are done sewing I noticed that you cut the thread. How do you secure that thread on the wig and what do you do to restart a new row on the sewing machine... Do you just continue sewing or is there something you need to do with the thread in the sewing machine to continue sewing?
Hey ericka j I would love to buy your products your adhesive and more but I notice your not shipping to Canada is it because of COVID. If not please let me know how I can get your products when they will be back in stock please and please again thank you
Pls I have had a hard time trying to decide what choice of machine is good and durable for making wigs. If one is not using her machine for other things except wig making, what brand would you recommend? Machines are so pricy.
Hey Ericka, I have been trying to sew with the machine, however the wig keeps getting caught in the machine and I cant even sew an inch... Im not even sure what Im doing wrong..please help
Thanks for the video ❤️ Do you use the needle that comes with it from what i know certain material take different needles and i want to make sure I’m using the right one .
You are absolutely amazing! Teaching what you’ve learned to others and being humble! From one hairstylist to another I ask God to bless you in every way he can!
I second that!!😁

Did you use hair sewing thread or fabric thread?
MMMMMAAAAANNNNNNN I want to thank you for sharing such informative info on this cause I'm over making these wigs by hand!!!! Purchasing my sewing machine today :- )
Hello Ms Erika, what sewing machine do you advise to buy for beginner
Quick question what needles do you use for your sewing machine when making your wigs? And I have a whole spool of weaving thread that I used for making my wig by hand, can I use that on my machine?
Hello
Heavy duty
No you cannot use hair thread. In the video I stated I use polyester thread.
Kimberley Reynolds did you ever figure it out?
Girl thank youu! You are awesome at what you do ❤
BTW I'm using the spool of weaving thread out the beauty store.
Thank you for this!
Is the bobbin case an important piece ? I ordered my first sewing machine . It didn’t come with a bobbin case . O
Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏾
I have a question. When you get to the end of a row and you are done sewing I noticed that you cut the thread. How do you secure that thread on the wig and what do you do to restart a new row on the sewing machine... Do you just continue sewing or is there something you need to do with the thread in the sewing machine to continue sewing?
You secure the thread by backstitching. By pressing the reverse button. To start a new row, you don't need to do anything else. Just start sewing.
Ok great Thanks. I can't wait to start practicing
@@TheUnicornQueenT ruclips.net/channel/UCiXp61Zl3L69BnboQzYn05w has a lot of videos on making wigs on the sewing machine. Check them out.
Thank you love the video starting to make wigs and this really helped me

@@IAmErickaJChannel Oh I'm here for ALL of it 😁😁
Hey ericka j I would love to buy your products your adhesive and more but I notice your not shipping to Canada is it because of COVID. If not please let me know how I can get your products when they will be back in stock please and please again thank you
Nice video, Ericka. Can u pls explain how to se the needle threader to thread the machine. Thanks
this video helped a whole hell of a lot!! thank you
Thank you so much! You helped me out big time!
What size needle you use. Also what type: universal, stretch or ballpoint?
how did you get the footer to lift up?? mine won’t budge and it’s really irritating
Pls I have had a hard time trying to decide what choice of machine is good and durable for making wigs. If one is not using her machine for other things except wig making, what brand would you recommend? Machines are so pricy.
Thanks so much,am really learning a lot from you.
My bobbin isn’t getting caught by the needle, any instructions on how to fix this?
Do you use weaving thread in your machine? I'm trying to figure out why I'm having problems?
Thank you lovely, I enjoyed your video. I just took my Singer out of my trunk 🤗
Thank you so much!!!!
What model sewing machine is this? This brand has several different models and i want to get the correct one
That’s beautiful! S/O to Ms. Jackie! 🙌🏾
Thank you for this videos and sharing your talent with us🙏🏾
Ahhh thank you!!
Is there an certain thread to use to make an wig?
Thank you for showing us!💕 by the way, which needle and size do you exactly use?
Hi
How much do you charge to teach a private wig/sewing machine course ?
Hey Ericka, I have been trying to sew with the machine, however the wig keeps getting caught in the machine and I cant even sew an inch... Im not even sure what Im doing wrong..please help
Wondering the cost?
Thank you that you uploaded this because I'm doing videos myself for wigs and may you and your followers could be interested in as well 🙈
Thanks for the video ❤️
Do you use the needle that comes with it from what i know certain material take different needles and i want to make sure I’m using the right one .
heavy duty because the ones that come with it breaks, QUICK
