You are a QUEEN for posting this I was literally freaking out about the bobbin and how to thread the bobbin because most bobbins are on the bed of the machine but mine is on the side
thanks very much. I'm glad it helped. Remember, the bobbin can also be threaded clockwise, if the method here did not work for your machine. See description box.
After watching your video today, I felt so confident setting up my machine. I was frustrated for an hour or more, count figure out the pics and arrows on the manual. Thanks a million. Your presentation so easy to follow. Good teacher
wow. I actually just found the channel I've been looking for all my life lol 😅 the playlist for this basic sewing series is everything I've ever needed. thank you so much!!
Hi. You are very welcome. This is such an awesome comment. Glad you found these tutorials and I hope they help you on your sewing journey. Happy weekend!
Hi, you can try threading the machine again and make sure the bobbin is put in right, for more on tension, please see the video linked in the description box. thanks
Hi I have this same machine but mine gathers a lot when I’m sewing and my thread cuts frequently ( I don’t use cheap threads) please what do I do. Help me
The needle might be hitting the bobbin case or the shuttle hook, so you might want to check that the bobbin is inserted properly, or it could be that the timing of the machine is off. try turning the hand wheel to move the needle up and down slowly to detect if it is hitting anything when going down. In the end, you might need to see a repairman.
for butterfly, the JA2-1 Treadle sewing machine is great for beginners. But if you want something that also does zig-zag stitches, the Singer Heavy duty 44 series is great too. This model featured in the video is alright too, if you need something really simple. see this video for some details. ruclips.net/video/lMVCC-mpyJw/видео.html
I really can't say, since I don't make wigs. The best option is to test the different settings on some scrap pieces and see which one suits you best. You can also try the different zigzag stitch sizes provided.
Hello. It could quite a few reasons, bad thread quality, or the wrong tension settings, or improper threading... it's hard to pinpoint. I'll suggest rethreading, then checking tension, then finally trying a different thread or even a new needle.
Hi , I have the exact machine and I followed same step but when I put my leg on the pedal, it was not sewing but just made a sound. What do I do? Just using it for the first time.
Yes, you can use it to finish your seams with the zigzag stitch if you sew right at the edge of the seam. Note that it does not have the overlocking stitch, but the zigzag will work just as well.
Hi. the hand wheel does not move too freely, but if it is really stiff, make sure your bobbin winder is in the OFF position. That is, push it to the left side. That should help

Does this machine work for 1-2 yrs ??? Plz reply miss , wanna know so badly bcz I am so confused either I should buy or not ?? Does it have warranty???
Hey I’m back do you think you can help me I need some help my electrical sewing machine was working fine until now When i turn it on it makes a low buzzing/humming noise it never happened until now and the lower stitches are not as tight as they used to be I’ve checked out the tension but I just don’t know what the problem is and I don’t like that sound
Hi there. First, full disclaimer, I am not a machine repairman. But I'll advise that you check the troubleshooting section of your user manual first for any solutions. Second, buzzing noise could mean a fault with the motor itself. But things you can quickly check yourself are to make sure there is no thread tied up anywhere in the machine, perhaps restricting movement Also try inserting your bobbin clockwise as I mentioned in the description above. Does it still sew even with the noise, I want you to see if you can narrow down which part of the machine the noise is coming from, as that might help you locate and fix the problem. I personally disassemble my own machines because I am handy like that. If you are not comfortable opening the machine yourself, you should take it to a professional.
Alex Marie DIY thank you so Much 🙏🏾 yes it still sews it’s just wierd cuz this sound is new to me I’ve checked the manual sadly nothing concerning the sound is on there although the sound is quite low you can only hear it when you come close but it’s coming from inside the machine just like as if it’s a tiny little fan blowing or something electrical like that making the noise thanks for the help though it’s gonna be a tad bit hard to get a technician since I am nigerian and I live in Nigeria if any further issues come up I’ll visit a nearby store I have in mind maybe I’ll get some help
@@preshhammawa266 hello. Check all your power connections. Does the light come on when you turn it on? If nothing is working, you may have to take it for repairs. The motor could be burnt
@@Fitmum-11 Yes, HAx1 aka 130/705H aka 15x1 needles are the only TYPE of needles that it uses. You can buy any brand like Organ, Orange, Butterfly, etc. For size of needles, 12 or 14 will fit. Maybe 16 for thick fabrics.

Hi I have this same machine but mine gathers a lot when I’m sewing and my thread cuts frequently ( I don’t use cheap threads) please what do I do. Help me
gathers a lot, which could mean it's not feeding the fabric evenly, or that your tension settings are off. Try setting everything to the default.
Do you have an idea on what to do if my bobbin winder won't spin?
Hi did you check that it is pushed into the starting position?
I have this exact type of machine but the needles keep breaking please what am I doing wrongly
The needle might be hitting the bobbin case or the shuttle hook, so you might want to check that the bobbin is inserted properly, or it could be that the timing of the machine is off. try turning the hand wheel to move the needle up and down slowly to detect if it is hitting anything when going down. In the end, you might need to see a repairman.

Do you ever turn off the light? Sometimes it gets in the way
No, since it's not possible to turn off the light separately. But funny enough, my light blew out ages ago, so I don't have any, even in this video.
I m a beginner.

Why does my thread keeps pulling out when I sew? I need an answer please
Hello. It could quite a few reasons, bad thread quality, or the wrong tension settings, or improper threading... it's hard to pinpoint. I'll suggest rethreading, then checking tension, then finally trying a different thread or even a new needle.
Exactly same thing with me I think the tension is too tight
One question I’m about to get get one of these is it enough to make any design and patterns with?
Not really, it's just straight and zigzag stitches.
Hi , I have the exact machine and I followed same step but when I put my leg on the pedal, it was not sewing but just made a sound. What do I do?
Just using it for the first time.
Same here! Please what have you done ?
Same problem here
Plug it to a stabilizer(same thing you use for refrigerators). I did that and it worked perfectly.
Is this machine work without electricity??
Hi, No, it does not work without electricity.
What is the cause of my needles not moving?
Sorry, I don't have a solution.

Yes, you can use it to finish your seams with the zigzag stitch if you sew right at the edge of the seam. Note that it does not have the overlocking stitch, but the zigzag will work just as well.
Please is the hand will stiff or does it move freely coz mine is stiff so I want to know if it's from my own or dats just d way it is
