Update: When winding up the bobbin 🧵, I should have wrapped the thread around the guide (the round short knob on the grey platform, back left), then the thread will wind evenly without me holding it.
Speaking from experience, if you don't wrap it and wind at really high speed, you can cut into the grey plastic bit *cough* turns out there's an actual ppoint to the knob xD
@@icannotbeseen hi I don’t see connection between touching the back of the needle and then can thread the needle easily? Haven’t missed something ? Great vidoe other wise!
Just had this machine arrive from ebay with no instructions. I've never touched a sewing machine in my life so was a little daunted. This video was a massive help and I've just done my first stitches after following these instructions, very well presented. The machine is for my daughter, she will love it ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Glad you got started. Hope you and your daughter will enjoy sewing as much as I do. Please also check out my pinned comment. I had made an error with threading the machine at the top.
Thanks to you I have learnt how to do all you have shown in a couple of attempts. I then showed my daughter who starts a 10 week course in it. She now goes in able to do this rather than totally blind x

Thank you for this video. I wasn't very confident about threading the needle but I feel more confident after watching your video, thank you Banana Mama
Thank you, just like you the last time I used a sewing machine was 40 years ago, but my wife can’t (won’t ???) sew 😂😂 and I’m left the privilege of showing off my skills😂😂😂. Stay well. Ash🏴
Just bought this machine today struggling thread it up been 7yrs since I did sewing or had a machine I'm now gona learn how to use new sewing machine I don't know how too thread it
@@MamaBanana thanks, I knew that one myself from having an old machine. But the tips you have are great and just the basics like threading the machine etc is exactly what my daughter will need.
Thank you so much for your video, i couldn't do this until your video and even then it took me 3 hours to get there. I am male which may have something to do with it. Thank you again 🙂
Great video. I just ordered mine on Amazon. I'm a complete beginner and don't understand the mechanics of sewing with a machine. I look forward to getting started.
Hi very well explained i do have this machine but the bobbin winder is broken where can i get it repaired or replaced. Please let me know. Another thing can i get a rolled hem spare parts fixed to the this same machine. Thank you so much.
I would get in touch with the retailer that you purchased your machine from did you get it sorted. Apologies for the delayed response. Happy new year 🥳
hi do you own this machine? what kind of finish does it do? someone told me i should not buy a mini sewing machine like this as the seams will sut fall apart. is this true? what kindnof mtetial have you stiched so far and how good was it? Thank you in advance. love you loads.
I love the Brother LS14s. I’m a member of a few FB sewing groups and this is always highly recommended for beginners. It works great. So long as you back stitch at the beginning and end of your work, same as with all sewing machines, your seams will not come apart. I think the mini sewing machines that’s are not recommended may be the actual mini machines that are the size of a small loaf of bread. While this is small for a sewing machine, it’s not actually a mini sewing machine.
@@MamaBanana thanks for the reply. i was hoping to stitch three layers together. a thin cotton backed polyester first layer with a 5mm felt in middle and then on top the 2mm polyester again. will i need a quilting machine or can this machine handle a little thickness? The combined strenght of the material is close to denim but the thikness is a litlle more. I am ot sur if i can run the material under the foot?
I need your help to decide between singer 3505 and brother gs 2700. I have seen the singer 3505 demo and stitch quality is wonderful. I haven't seen brother machines as they are not in local markets right now. Expected in a months time. I like that singer 3505 has blanket stitch that I may use for applique. Brother doesn't have it. Brother has top loading bobbin vs singer having front load bobbin. Brother speed is 860spm while singer is 750 spm. I am a beginner . Please suggest which one of the two should I buy. If you had to choose between front loading vs top loading bobbin, which one will you choose? Thanks!
I don’t have experience of the Songer machines so had to do a bit of research. From my sewing groups, Singer seems to be the preferred of the two. I liked my Brother, the model I have here was adequate, but within the year I had to upgrade to a bigger & better machine. So I would say the Singer 3505 may be the better choice. Hope this helps 😀
I am a software engineer. I used to be a computer hardware repair tech. I took apart complex machinery for a living. The number of, "now you just do this..." parts to this scare the hell out of me!
Hiii, I brought new brother sewing maching.funny thing is i don’t know how to stitch.but i am trying to learn how to be. I just tried but the stiches came out with soo many knots.😢
I just got a sewing machine and now I’m watching the video, However when I’m using the bobin and using the pedal, the thread gets caught on the white holder
I’ve sewed baby clothes before. We need just flatten the part we’re working with & about an inch of the fabric ahead, while pushing the rest of the project out of the way so it won’t get caught under the needle. Going slow is key. So just focus on flattening about an inch of the fabric as you go, constantly readjusting the fabric. Awkward, but doable. Good luck 😄
I would say it can handle 3 layers of jeans, so it should be fine for hemming jeans. I no longer have this machine as I’ve since upgraded so can’t test. But I went through layers of bamboo & cotton & it was fine. Let me know if you end up getting it. It’s a great machine for beginners & odd jobs around the house like alterations.
I know. Alexa & Seri have difficulty understanding me too 🤣. I got married in Ballybeg. ❤️ Antrim ❤️ 😊 It’s such a great machine. What jobs have u got planned for it? My first task was hemming the curtain, easy & fun 😊
Arrrgh! I cannot get my machine to pick up the bobbin - I've triple checked the direction of the thread and its going around the small hooky bit inside and im getting really frustrated now 😢 Can anyone help please?! 🤞🏼
Sometimes it helps to give it a clean. So I would unscrew the bobbin plate & get a clean paint brush to gently sweep out all the lint & dust. That has worked for me before & worth a try. Good luck ☺️
It doesn’t have an overlock function. But if you want a tight seam, I have a hack for that. Zigzag near the edge of fabric, then you can trim off the excess with scissors. Video will be uploaded next week with full tutorial & tips. Hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching & supporting.
Aside from changing stitch options, I don’t think there was an option to move the needle on this machine. Sorry, I upgraded my machine about a year ago as I do a lot of bag making.
I’ve had never ending problems with tension settings and have had to have it serviced and needed help endlessly. Not sure why it randomly does things, but I’ve sadly found it disappointingly, hugely unreliable!
@@MamaBanana oh thanks for replying.. everyone keeps implying it’s me not threading properly and not the machine! I noticed the bobbin casing moving around so much, the thread lifted out! When I pull it apart, the bobbin housing unit is held by a small magnet!!
That’s so frustrating. I bought mine through Amazon. I got in touch with customer service and was able to return and get a full refund! Hope you manage to get the issue sorted, or better yet, a refund 🤞
A waterproof sleeping bag. Thin rubbery like pvc coated polyester bottom layer of two sheets which sandiwch a thin layer of felt.Bottom done. The top half of the bag is polyester coated pvc externally and cotton backed polyester internally. The top layer also has a felt internal. Thin, super waterproof unlike every sleepng bag to ever exist, waterproof inside and out, cheap to make, light and easily compact and would make a difference to homeless people in rainy countries. The top and bottom layers are stiched toghether at the sides but the top layer has a zip running down slightly aside from the middle allowng the bag to open from the top. This gives it a truly snug feeling. Currently bags are zipped 3 sided around the edges. It spoils the snugness. The bottom layer is non breathable so heat isnt lost and you dont feel the cold surface below it as much. The top layer is more comfort feel internally but again non brethable externally. Non brethable material does make it hot inside however that isnt an issue when you are sleeping outsde.7 To clean the bag all you need is soapy spongee as it is waterproof. If you imagine your life as a homeless personm your seelpi gn bag is a very important possesion and it nwould be great if it could be kept clean at all times.
Wow 😮. That sounds like some project alright! Would you put out an ISO (In Search Of) on your local Facebook Freecycle group (just search for name of your city & the word Freecycle). Explain that it’s to help the homeless & fingers crossed you will get an offer for a machine & maybe some materials too.
@@MamaBanana Thnks for the suggestion i will give that a try. I have been collecting materials so far just missing out on a machine. i wll drop an update if it freecycle does happen. I have seen a brother indusrial macine at around £200 but currently out of my budget maybe in future. I was thining maybe if someone wanted to try it and tehey alreay had a mahcine i could help them with the design, which mterials etc. TBH im not even an amatuer yet as this would be my first project.
Is the bobbin tail out to the left like the letter P? Also needs to be pulled down & then up in the metal plate so the little notch catches it. Last thing is to have a tail about 2 inches to help catch it? Fingers crossed one of these helps 😬
Hi Chloe, Thanks for watching. I think I was just nervous. I get that way & speak too fast at presentations & in front of the camera, something that I’ve been working on. Hopefully I will get better over time 😊
There is a small switch at the back of the machine. Behind the feed dogs/teeth. So bottom back left, it’s a flat switch. You will see it if you look at the back of the machine. Hope that helps.
Thank you for your feedback. I did make a mistake, I posted this in a pinned comment. Or is there something else that I did wrong? I do appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
This is rubbish. It does not show how to place the bobbing thread properly. U said move to the side but you placed it when catching. When and how is missing pure garbage this . Very infuriating
Hi Ayodele, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on my video. I appreciate your comments and will take it into consideration when planning my next video. I will hopefully be able to get back into a weekly upload routine again soon. Take care x Shen

Hi what is the size of the bobbin which fits this brother sewing machine?
In case others are interested it uses a slightly narrower (height) bobbin that are readily available on eBay, Amazon, and elsewhere.

Sometimes it helps to give it a clean. So I would unscrew the bobbin plate & get a clean paint brush to gently sweep out all the lint & dust. That has worked for me before & worth a try.

You’re so welcome 😉 😀
Hi. Can you adjust the length and width of zig zag stitches. Thank you
Hi its not working because it wont catch the bottom thread. Please can someone help?!
Is the bottom thread pulled out a few inches?
Hi Lauren,
Have you been able to resolve this?
Can you interlock with this machine?
It doesn’t have an overlock function. But if you want a tight seam, I have a hack for that. Zigzag near the edge of fabric, then you can trim off the excess with scissors. Video will be uploaded next week with full tutorial & tips.
Hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching & supporting.

What is the size of bobbin that fits into this sewing machine?
Hi,
I just got big standard regular plastic bobbins & they worked perfect.
These are the ones that I use:

What sewing project are you working on right now?
A waterproof sleeping bag.
Thin rubbery like pvc coated polyester bottom layer of two sheets which sandiwch a thin layer of felt.Bottom done.
