How To Use A Sewing Machine To Tailor AT HOME
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video I'm going to show you how to use your sewing machine you just bought. What's funny is it might seem complicated and hard to use but it isn't at all. It basically asks you three things. What kind of stitch do you want to make, how long do you want it to be, and how wide. A sewing machine can do a lot of different things but for basic things like making your clothes fit better you just need to know how to make a straight stitch and a zigzag stitch. Once you have those two stitches down and other basic things like how to thread it and how to wind your bobbin (both of which I've made a video on), you're going to rock it!

Now one of my New Year resolutions: learn to tailor clothes. Thanks Dad!
Boom! Now rock those tailored clothes!
how u doin man?
Good to see more guys getting into sewing. Tailoring is a great skill to have, and from a guy's perspective, the sewing machine is just another power tool to add to your collection. Personally, I dig the vintage machines from the 50s and 60s. Powerful, most have all steel drive train components, and simple to use. Those old machines can be restored, too, like restoring an old car.
It's liberating and satisfying to be able to customize your clothes and things in your home, or to fix stuff like camping gear, or even to make things from scratch to fit your needs. Like a custom sized drawstring pouch for some bit of equipment you have. Or whatever! Dudes should definitely learn to sew. Being able to hem your lady's dress slacks in a matter of minutes, so she doesn't have to drop a fistful of $20s at the alterations shop, will make you the HERO!
The invention of the sewing machine must have been the work of a mechanical genius.
I just went to a thrift store and bought an old sears and Roebuck table machine from the 50s for 10 bucks and I’m already obsessed with tailoring all my shirts.
SD, I just found your channel TODAY!! ...literally everything I've wanted to know, in mere minutes: reasoned and succinct. This is soooo awesome, I got my wife to show me how to thread her grandma's heavy duty, commercial, 60+ year old, ALL steel, Singer mechanical machine. I'm good to go and practicing right now. Thank bro.
When sewing jersey you should use a stitch length of 2.5 to 3. Also, there are different types of needle meant to be used with different types of fabric. For sewing denim you would need a thicker needle, sewing woven cotton you would use a sharp needle, and there are special needles for sewing jersey as well. You can also use a very small zigzag stitch for sewing a jersey t-shirt that would still allow the fabric to stretch. Also, if you do buy a used sewing machine it would be a good idea to take it to your local sewing machine shop for a tune up. Just to make sure everything is in working order. Good luck sewing guys.
Very good points! Thank you for sharing!
Hey SD, just wanted to give an enormous THANK You from the bottom of my heart for getting me into tailoring my clothes. This something I've been wanting to do but never really knew how and it always seemed that I needed a bunch of hand holding. After watching your videos, you've helped give me the courage to get a machine (finally), learn a new practice, make mistakes, learn from them, and finally tailor clothes. I've tailored almost every item that I wear and I love it. I don't even look at clothes the same anymore. I've brought life into articles of clothing that I thought were dead...and I thought that way because essentially i hated the fit. After you tailor something it actually becomes yours and unique to you. I'm greatful that your approach has taught me this. You made it easy, fast, and comprehensible. You demystifyied it for me and I'm sure for countless others. Can't stress enough my thanks for your videos and time you put in sharing your work with the community. Best of luck with everything to you and your family.
Just picked up a vintage Necchi today for $16 with wooden cabinet table included.
"And now YOU know how to as well" Great video, helped me navigate my friend's wasted machine. Thank you for making it simple and interesting!
I love this dude, wish I was taught this stuff earlier in my life.
God bless you sir!
Bro this is SO incredibly helpful!! I’ve lifted weights for a long time and have a pretty extreme chest-waist drop, so I’ve been wanting to do exactly this with my many ill-fitting t shirts for YEARS now, but never found the time to figure out how to learn the details of how to do it... So I’m looking forward to getting my hands on a sewing machine and finally trying this out!
(Also on a side note I was really surprised to see that you don’t have far more subscribers than you do! I’ve got no doubt though that if you keep at it the sky’s the limit man, much respect)
Glad it was helpful for you! That's EXACTLY the reason why I started, I've got a broad chest and back and a smaller waist, so shirts looked stupid on me. Nothings more frustrating than building a solid physique only to have it hidden by a garbage bag looking shirt...
Go check out the rest of the playlist, by the end of it you will know exactly how to tackle all of your shirts. Shoot me an email if you need any help at all, good luck!
@@StylishDTailors Really appreciate that man! One thing I noticed- the Amazon sewing machine link in the description seems to be directing to Amazon's home page... Do you remember what the sewing machine that you would recommend is called?
Good eye, honestly check a local thrift store before you check anywhere else!
Stylish Dad garbage bag looking shirt is right! THANK YOU! Great channel. Subscribed after watching the first and previous video. Best of luck, SD!
I'm so pumped to get my machine in 2 days. I have so many projects for custom hoodies and vests. Also just to tailor my clothes to fit better. Thanks for the tips man! You have a new sub 🤙
Pumped for ya and welcome to the fam!
Love your vids man! I've been tailoring my clothes for 8 years. I do work for my friends all the time and my gf loves that I'm handy with a machine.
Yep. That was easy. I was very scared and ate a big bag of potato chips to avoid it. Now I'll sew my mom's patch on her jacket like she asked me to for way to long
Stylish Dad, there ain’t no amount of sewing that’s going to give me that perfect V-shape taper 😂
I did it !!!!!!!! I had a 85 dollar linen guayabera shirt I wanted tailored. Sooo I practiced on this shirt my mom gave me years ago i never wore. I'm 5ft 8 and arms are almost 19 inch. I took sewing in middle school. After fixing the first one it looks nice. Although I should have sat down in it while pinned . Was a bit tight when sitting. Also I shortened the sleeves and they bunched up one time and got sewed weird. Just pulled the stitches out and redid it. Then did the nice expensive shirt. It's so easy. I'm going to do the linen pants now. Have to buy 2xl to fit arms and chest and it being too long and baggy not anymore. I look like a bodybuilder in the off season so I'm not lean but I still want to look nice too. But compared to not tailored its nightband day for reals. The sewing was easy just pinning it took more time
Damn you sir... Found your channel by pure accident on Thursday, been binge watching your stuff... I even went out and got a sewing machine the very next day... Getting hyped watching your content and learning about this stuff... Keep it coming... Deuces...
So awesome to hear that you took the plunge! How are things going?
@@StylishDTailors It's been going great... My machine has already paid for itself with all the alterations... I had gotten a great deal on a brother se630, and didn't realize it had embroidery capabilities... I ended up upgrading to a se1900... I'm considering getting a commercial one in the future after saving a few bucks... It's crazy it all started with your videos... Now I'm hooked...
Subscribed because of your tailoring series. Gonna do all my cheap button-ups once I figure it out with old throwaways.
Good luck bro! Let me know if need any help!
I feel stupid for having no clue how to use a sewing machine, but after trying on endless shirts and t-shirts that never have a proper taper, I think I need to learn how to sort my own shit out. Great video!
Thanks, I've always been able to hem my own pants as a short guy but it's nice to know these other features.
Great video!! I taught my son how to use a sewing machine too!!
They're super simple once you get them down huh?? Your son is gonna have a huge leg up over everyone else now!
I found a very great place for buying T-shirts that actually fit my body type exactly well within my budget. However I got work uniforms that be perfect to practice on and plan on replacing my dress shirts.
Oh work uniforms are a game changer! Think about it, they're hardly ever fitted at all
Thank you I never thought I could do it
Stylish Dad you are an inspiration! Thank you for your useful advise and encouragement! Excellent applicable videos!
I found your channel today and tailoring clothes is going to be my new hobby. 😎
I’m so glad I found your videos. You inspired me to buy a sewing machine SINGER 4423. I have no idea on how to se but your videos are helpful. Thank you!
Nice! Read the manual and watch as many tutorials as you can! You will honestly have it down in an afternoon, seriously!
Very useful information friend
Owning and using a sowing machine is not effeminate, what is more effeminate, going to your partner or mother and begging them for help to do a simple task like taking up some trousers, or just doing it yourself and being self reliant.
Truth!
My partner and mother where useless anyway. If you want YOUR shit done up right you gotta do it yo self.
I don’t think asking for help makes you effeminate. Idk why femininity ever became synonymous with helpless and weak, but knowing how to do things for yourself is an admirable quality.
Easy clear explanation. Sharing...
Thanks bro I appreciate that!
Thanks
This is great! Thanks for making this video!
You're welcome, now go make your shirts look kick ass!
Stylish Dad You got a permit for those guns son?
Shit...you're not with the ATF are you?? I swear my permit is in the mail!!
LOL, ive been there,, getting a good deal on Jeans for 25 bucks, then have to spend another 40 to alter them. LOL
I will get to learn this, SD. I will!
Get on it man!
Couldnt get to see this vid till cuz of school but rn its free time in school because its almost the end of da year
It's been years you probably graduated by now!
@@StylishDTailors Almost man! Gonna go attend college this fall.
Here from the male fashion subreddit. Thanks man!
You're welcome! Hope these are helpful for ya!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Good video!
Thank you I appreciate that!
Are there any videos of your finished product? :).
Yeah, every single shirt I wear in my videos! I'm gonna put together a start to finish video soon, stay tuned!
I mean the dress shirts
Yup, I'll put together a dress shirt video for ya!
What about for a baggy hoodie. What should the setting be in the second setting.
What do you mean by the second setting?
@@StylishDTailors sorry i meant a baggy hoodie with a Thicker material. You mention that the setting should be a bit different on the second setting.( the one in the middle)
Hey SD! A couple quick questions about a cheap sewing machine: 1) when I press my pedal slowly, the machine 'grinds' and the needle doesn't move or moves super slow...which can only be overcome by pressing the pedal down harder at which point it crosses a threshold and then zooms out of control. Do you think this is an issue with the machine or the pedal and do you have any tips on how I could potentially fix this? 2) Sometimes, when sewing especially thinner fabrics, the fabric gets pulled into the bobbin case area and gets all knotted up with the thread...any thoughts on what causes this? This happens mostly when starting at an edge. Love your quick'n'dirty tailoring/sewing/altering vids!
Hey there! Those issues you're having sound super frustrating! To be honest when in doubt take your machine in for service. There are some tips and tricks you can do at home BUT it can come at the cost of potentially ruining your machine if you do something wrong. I would just take it in.
As far as fabrics getting caught in the bobbin case, it sounds like you might be having an issue either with the tension of your machine, or the needle that you're using. Here's two videos addressing both of those things.
Stitch tension - ruclips.net/video/dqM5S8SZVCo/видео.html
Needles - ruclips.net/video/pxvFWTNtv_s/видео.html
If you can find a manual for your machine, it may have maintenance information that includes instructions for oiling it. I'm no expert and can't know for sure it will help, but might save you a trip to an expert.
god bless you.
💪💪💪
What do u think about a pfaff 917? And new subbie😄
Stylish D Help! The machine that you recommended is no longer available. Is the Singer FASHION MATE 3333 SEWING MACHINE a good option...? If not, what other machine would you recommend...?
Definitely looks like it will get the job done! Might struggle a bit with denim though,.
Subbed. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you reddit
Lol right? I've found so much life changing information on there, figured the least I can do is give back!
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like that guy from Matrix?
What if I told you...you're not.
See what I did there?
Some thumbnails look like dimbe from the blacklist especially the measure your shirt one
Who, Hugo Weaving?
To SD would u recommend one of those mini sewing machines or what's a good model to start with
Sorry for the late reply, I definitely would especially if you are just getting started!!
@@StylishDTailors oh no prob boss I ended up getting one from my gma she had a new singer 8520 she used once... And a singer table antique one that was jers as a young girl.i took the newer model pf course
That's exactly what I tell people, ask your grandma haha!
STYLISH D HELP! I got a sewing machine and I don’t know how to set it up, I did what you did here and for some reason the thread keeps coming out of the needs 😭
Needles*
Make sure you pull the tail of the thread a decent way through the needle. Also, when you thread it make sure your presser foot is up instead of down.
@@StylishDTailors awesome tips man thank you 🥺 I’m SEWING!!!! Now I have another problem, the thread on the top isn’t feeding right, like it gets loose like it’s not in right, but not sure why 😭
I think what he is explaining is Darting, or letting things in, if need be.
As if everybody has “a V-taper”! A lot of us have an A-shape.
You would be surprised my friend!
Sewing is wonderful, I have to disagree with you in terms of cost by my experience buying fabrics is very expensive unless I am buying in wrong stores. I live in the infamous California where everybody is running away to other states and countries. I buy at Joann Store. We don't have many local fabric store competitors. I tried other stores from Anaheim owned by foreigners and same problem very expensive the fabrics and the notion.
FIRST BABY!
Definitely going to keep my eyes open for a sewing machine on sale at a thrift store/yard sale
The only sewing experience I have is hand sewing a viking tunic for the renaissance fair. I came out pretty nice, but would have gone so much faster with a machine (but less authentic)
Hand sewing was my first experience as well. Screw that lol, it sucked. Using a machine is SO much easier!
Do you design clothes for Women?
I actually just tailored a few female shirts for my friend lol, shhh!!
Nice!! Any pics or video's??
Unfortunately not, I wanted to bust through them and get them back to her.
im new here but are you blind or was it a joke video as you look perfectly fine and who replies to comments
COVID hit and everyone bought a sewing machine to make masks...got one of the last ones at Walmart
Update: managed to get a used heavy duty machine for half price. Returned the one at Walmart!
Love your videos brother
I appreciate that! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
