Bought A New Sewing Machine? Here's A Beginner’s Checklist
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Now that you have your sewing machine set up you want to make sure to do a few more things before you start tailoring your clothes.
The first one is to make sure you have space for it. I totally get it, I have no space for mine at all, and I kinda envy people who have a table or a desk and a dedicated set up for it. My style is much more run and gun, and it works. But do your best to find space around your house, you will thank me later.
The next thing you want to do is to get your clothes together and make sure everything is ironed first! I can't tell you how many times I dropped the ball on this step. It's fine if you are tailoring one shirt, but what's going to happen is you're gonna go on a binge and tailor like 5 t shirts. Well add an hour to that time because you gotta iron everything first...
The last thing is to check your settings first! You most likely sewed a zigzag stitch the last time that you tailored but this time you're going to start with a straight stitch. Make sure it's set to that first, otherwise you're gonna be in some trouble...

Floor sewing gang chiming in!
I actually just got back from the store with my first bunch of pins and thread, preparing for my first tailoring binge since finding your videos. Thank you for the help keeping me sane through this quarantine and encouraging a new hobby.
I'm so glad you're making a comeback. This is SO EXCITING!!!!!
Ohhhhhhhh...you have a cat ...thats cute
lol @ one scoop of food for the cat
She's fat ok!!
I'm going to give you a life.changing tip: when you iron, turn your shirts inside out and iron the inside - you can make the seams so much more flush when you are measuring and if you mistakenly burn your.garment it won't be nearly as noticeable. As a bonus you can also go over the back of your buttons no problemo.
Okay, I'm totally inspired to finally tailor my shirt through your channel. As the saying goes, "If you look good, you'll feel good! If you feel good, you'll play good!", Deion "Prime Time" Sanders.
Just got a sewing machine today off of Facebook marketplace, this video is coming in clutch!
Welcome to the club! Get the caffeine ready because you'll be sewing for hours at a time, it's addicting like he says.
Let us know if you need some help!
I am more excited about this than anyone should be. Definitely looking forward to more. I use my table, for everything. LOL
Glad you're back! 🙏✌🐜💚
Appreciate you man! Bought a sewing machine awhile ago. Now with the current situation, it’s time to get tailoring!
Man, i finally took my machine and started tailoring my clothes thanks to you! I saw your videos some time ago, but i always had problems setting up my machine (cause the bobin is located differently) but finally figured it out and thanks also tonthe quarentine i have tailored a bunch of shirt, tees and polos that i didn't use cause they were al square and ugly, but now they look super sexy. So thanks my dude, you videos are really helpful, short and to the point and also funny to watch, so keep it up. Peace!
Finally took out my moms machine. She was the seamstress and passed away on christmas. I need so much help! So watching all your videos.
I'm sorry for your loss! How are you doing?
You’re my new favorite channel
Hey, how about a tutorial on type(s) of machine oil for the sewing machine and how to oil the machine. I never thought about maintenance until my machine said, "Oh, NO. . . I'm going to seize on you!"
Solid idea, thanks!
Some people have a face that stops growing when they turn 12.
SD is one of them.
Lol!
Just subscribed, I like the channel and your energy. Just to let you know I’ve even checked out your channel when you where the stylish Dad 😉
Sooo...u got some pay then??? Lol, good to see ya SD, btw I saw another tutorial about taking in on a shirt just like u said (from the lower back, two perpendicular lines or so..), saw theirs (this other channel with two youngsters..) but I'll wait for yours, it's more entertaining..lol stay safe .
Hey bro! And yes darts are coming soon! Working on taking in the side seams first.
Absolutely nuts to me that the machine doesn't measure the number of cycles your needle has done so it can tell *you* when to change it. BRB hitting up the patent office
*sprints to car to beat Justin there*
Hmm so you only use zig zag stitches on sweaters?
No you use it to finish stitches
@@StylishDTailors yup just thought it might be different than a straight stitch due to the way its woven
Welp i guess um an adult. I have a six seater dinning table. I use it for everything else but eating dinner. 😆 . Plot twist its just me. 🤣
It should be pronounced M Night Shaymalan with that plot twist!
You could get a protective mat for that table though SMH
"But its ugly"
- My significant other probably
SD, why don't you use chalk? I haven't heard you talk about that.
I used to, and I still do sometimes but not a lot, pins are more accurate
Stylish D ohh alright I see. Also, please make a button hole video too please.
Personally when I'm wanting to be very accurate (like on sleeve ends or the bottom of shirts) I chalk a guideline then iron it how it will be sewed, this has been a life changer on hems and such, so much easier to sew when it holds itself in place.

SD, what sewing machine would you advise? My current one seems to have too loose a stitch.
What machine are you currently using? I would suggest anything by Singer or Brother
@@StylishDTailors thank you for quick reply. It’s a Janome 555
That’s a pretty solid machine that you have. Have you checked the stitch tension at all? That’s usually the culprit when it comes to loose stitches.
@@StylishDTailors no. I was thinking about just paying to get it serviced and maybe even get the servicer to help me with it.
Solid idea, they see those things all the time. Only do it if it’s cheap though, you can get a used machine for like $40
Bro... you gave that poor cat literally one scoop!? 😂😂😂
She’s fat, trust me it was for the best
@@StylishDTailors 🤣
