Please let me know if you have any questions on how to use your machine. Perhaps I can help. You can see more of my videos on how to use the Brother Sewing Machine at my website. Here is a link. www.alaskagranny.com/simple-sewing/
OMG.... this video just helped me tremendously. I’m a Army Instructor and I just bought this sewing machine to sew 🧵 my own mask for work. I thank you for the very easy breakdown of how to thread the machine. God bless and thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this, I am an absolute newbie to sewing and have been having problems with a Brother XL3520 and your video has cleared up what I was doing wrong.
I am so glad you found my video helpful. This is a great easy sewing machine, and you should have a lot of fun sewing with it for years. You can check out more of my videos on sewing with the Brother machine at my website. Here is a link. www.alaskagranny.com/simple-sewing/
I was given a old VX950 Brother Sewing Machine 2 months back. Going to learn how to sew on that one first , U made this so easy to learn. Gone to thread mine today and do some simple sewing projects I need to get done by end of week. Thank you for this! I want to get one like yours for Christmas! This is perfect.
Nice to be given a sewing machine. If your current one works, no need for a new one. Best of luck with your sewing projects. Check out more of my videos on how to use the Brother sewing machine at my website. Here is a link. www.alaskagranny.com/simple-sewing/
Thank you so very much for the informative video. I have been wanting to buy a sewing machine for some time now and was on the fence between a Singer and this Brother's model. Both were the same price but the Brothers had a few more bells and whistles and the way I look at it, as long as I'm not paying for them, why not get them. My wife thinks I'm crazy for wanting to get a machine but I can think back to all the times I've tried to hand sew something so I can't wait to get this one. I ordered it last night, so by the end of the week I hope to be sewing something. Thanks again.
Cary Cornwell I hope you enjoy your machine. It is easy to use, and sews through even thick, denim fabrics. I hope your wife wants to try it once you get it. Sewing can be fun! Let me know how you like your machine.
AlaskaGranny This is an awesome machine. It's not hard for beginners like me to learn how to use. Very easy to thread this machine. I just have to remember little things, like where not to put your thumb or finger so you won't get it pinched, and, drop the pressure foot before you start sewing. Done that a few times. Once everything is set up and adjusted, it works very well. I am very pleased with it and I thank you again for helping me make my selection.
Glad you found my video helpful. I have a few other videos on how to use your Brother sewing machine. You can check them out if you need more tips. Here is a link to the playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLVqIukZXoVfEd_P7jZ3eme2wQtO1LcDo0
The Brother sewing machine is a great basic machine. I use it for mending and sewing costumes. When my daughter was young I sewed doll clothes, too. Thanks for sparking a fond memory. I hope you like your machine. I have had this one for a few years, and love it. It works great, no problems.
I just bought this last night because I want to learn to sew. Thanks for the info and review! I will refer back to this video when I get it.😄. Wish me luck! I hope I can do this!
Sharee Jacobs I hope you love this machine. It is affordable, reliable, and can help you complete a full array of sewing projects. I hope it serves you as well as mine has. Let me know how you like it.
You are welcome. You can see more of my videos on how to use the Brother Sewing Machine at my website. Here is a link. www.alaskagranny.com/simple-sewing/
Well the reason why I ask was,I have a the same machine and inside the manual it didn't say to use one, so therefore what u saying I don't necessarily have to use one.Thank you.
Than you so much for your tutorial on the XL 26 10, i was watching how to thread a bobbin, i follow those directions but when i put the bobbin on the properbobbin holder i try to snap the bobbin to the right but it wont move can you help me figure out what i am doing wrong please thank you nelly
I have never had luck with a straight stitch on stretchy fabrics. set it on a zigzag or combination stitch so when the fabric stretches the thread won't break, the zig gives it room to move with the stretch.
Hi. I write to you from Chile, my mom has one of those same machines more than 10 years ago however this machine has not been used yet, as we have not known how to use it. The manual is very complex and yet I have tried to make it work. To start threading the thread comes out of the needle. And in the second place I do not succeed in placing the lower thread spool well, let alone threading it. Could you please help me how to do it? It would be very much appreciated. Greetings.
Here is a link to a video I made about how to thread your sewing machine. ruclips.net/video/i4wL18OG8NA/видео.html Perhaps your needle is not facing the right direction, or you aren't leaving a long enough thread after you thread it. Pull the thread about 6-8 inches past the needle. The machine will pull the thread back up as it works. Take out your bobbin, the lower thread spool, and look for the arrow. Follow the direction of the arrow when you thread the bobbin into the spot. Hold the thread from the needle, and use your hand to drop the needle once while you hold the thread. The needle thread should catch the bobbin thread, and you pull them up together. Pull a long tail to keep them in place. Make sure you are using the right size bobbin. Did your bobbin come with the machine? Another trick, if I have trouble with my bobbin, I rewind it just in case there is a problem with how it wound onto the bobbin. Place your bobbin on the top of the sewing machine where the thread spool goes, and wind it onto a different or new bobbin. Let me know if these tips help you. Good luck with your Brother Sewing machine. Once you get the hang of it, it is a great machine, and easy to use.
Hello , i had just got this same machine .., I have a problem with the thread tangling up underneath the fabric (birdnesting) .. is their a certain type of thread I have to use ?
emaya rose I use plain thread, and have not had any problem with tangles. Try rewinding the bobbin onto another bobbin, and rethreading the machine. Make certain to place the bobbin in with the thread coming from the side indicated on the machine. Let me know if that helps.
Try adjusting the tension. I had the same problem when i started sewing 2 months ago, play with the tension dial till the birdnesting disappears. i noticed my stitches were perfect when i set the dial at "3".
Last night was my second time sewing with my machine. I had the exact same problem last night!! The thread was bunching and tangling up underneath the fabric. Even with adjusting the top tension dial. The solution? It was the bobbin. Once my friend adjusted it...perfect! It stopped. I also was using basic plain thread.
Thanks for the tutorial, I was hoping you would go a bit more into the dials. I purchased one second hand and cannot for the life of me (even after reading online manuals) work out the dials. Can I message you direct and get your help?
+sehnaz00 I am sorry you are having troubles with your machine. I decided to make a video about this for you , and others who may have troubles, too. It is a great little machine, but without basic knowledge, can be difficult to understand. I plan to drag my machine out and explain this soon!! Please keep watching my AlaskaGranny channel.
+Katsume Jackson Did you see my video on how to use the stitch selector? Here is a link. ruclips.net/video/9kr0-Rp9m4w/видео.html It isn't just about the button hole, but may help you understand how to make a button hole. Put the inner, or gray wheel on F. Then set the outer wheel to 1 and move it to the three positions to move forward, back, or side to side. I hope this helps a bit. I will see about making a video for you. Hope this helps.

Perhaps try a different bobbin. Maybe the one you are using is bent or the wrong size.
Hi Alaska granny
How do I set this machine to sew a stretchy fabric light weight yoga pants with a straight stitch
I have never had luck with a straight stitch on stretchy fabrics. set it on a zigzag or combination stitch so when the fabric stretches the thread won't break, the zig gives it room to move with the stretch.
Thank you so much Dear,,,, please tell me,,, what is the work of ( - & +) signs above the dail?

Good vid...
Scott F. Thanks. The Brother is a great little sewing machine.
Will this machine work on heavier duty fabrics such as denim and canvas?
Thanks
Yes, it will.
I'm having a problem winding the bobbin spinner won't spin fast..i did everything right . Idk
I would remove everything, thread and all, and start over. Try a different spool of thread and bobbin.
I must be missing something. I am unable to thread my bobbin. It will not spin….
Did you feed it through the inside part of the bobbin hole and not down through it?
Hello , i had just got this same machine .., I have a problem with the thread tangling up underneath the fabric (birdnesting)
.. is their a certain type of thread I have to use ?

I usually use the 1 regular foot. I have use the blind hem foot, I forget to get it out!
My thread keeps going out of the needle. Help
Try pulling the thread through for several inches for a long tail before you begin to sew.
oohh just bought this
I hope you enjoy your new machine.
