CRAFTYAMY. Thanks so much for doing the how to use a sewing machine video. I'm a single dad with a little girl who had some things in need of repair. Not anymore thanks to your video I now know how to use a sewing machine. Thanks again.
just perusing comments & i have to say, that is so incredibly sweet of you! .. the world needs more Dads like you. i applaud you, buddy =D i bet you are a wonderful father :)
You are very sweet and make sewing less intimidating. I'm almost old enough to be your mother, yet feel a little more open and confident to learn how to sew after watching this video. Thank you! xoxo Clara
Clara Slate Exactly how I felt, only exception being that, for me, it was more of a much needed refresher. It was over 20 years since I sat behind a machine and was very intimidated to jump back into it. I hope you’re sewing!
Mine did back in the mid 90's. What they didn't teach was how to do anything like thread the needle, load the bobbin, or do anything with the machine besides actually -sew-. (The home-ec teacher did all that.) And how to hit your knuckles with the needle-holding screw as it went up and down at a billion miles an hour * ouch! *
-sew- = - sew - . I forget that RUclips actually crosses out or bolds things if you use the traditional signs like that but mean them in a way that singles out what you're saying.
Sun flower thank you for this info..i just bought my singer tradition 2250 last night. And i am sero experienće on how to use it..you are so sweet and nice. Hope to learn many ideas from you. Thank you so much....anyway i just son's account i dont have mine.again thank you..now i much willingly to learned to sew..God bless!!
I like that you demonstrated each step slowly and clearly while also doing the steps slowly and clearly. I felt that I was able to understand your directions when you gave the information that way.
Thank you for this video. It had been a little while since I had used my sewing machine and after a couple of frustrating tries, found your wonderful video. I quickly learned I missed a step in threading the machine. I also have to say that the verse on your shirt was exactly what I needed to encourage me not to quit.
Thanks Amy, your tutorial helped me sew for the first time in my life (I'm 37 M, living in Belgium). I now made my own zero waste shopping bags ! Thanks for your clear and useful tips !
I was hesitant about buying the Singer 2259. After watching this video, I am buying it tomorrow. I am so excited. Thank you for this video. It is super helpful.
😂😂 Im thinking the same..Did u have a sewing machine already or did u just buy one? If u just bought one girl where did u find it?? They are sold out everywhere in Florida. The only one i can find is like 1700$ and I dont want to pay that for something I might get bored of or not like.
It has been 37 years since I've sewn anything. I had been a pretty good sewer back then, but it's been so long that it's back to the basics for me. Thank you for the tutorial!
Ha! I'm a guy to but I just got a cheap sewing machine cause I want some bean bags and it's so much cheap to get curtains from the second hand shop a make my own. I used to do needle work at school cause I worked with my Dad in the holidays and at weekends so I was getting trained in wood work a painting an decorating and there's nothing like being the only boy in a class with 25 girls........lol!
This was one of the only videos in English that really helped me understand. I like how the camera followed everything you were saying and talking about and it wasn’t too far away from the machine or what you were showing. Very helpful video⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a really good video. Thank you! I’ve watched my mom sew my entire life and she tries to give me tips when I got my own machine but felt overwhelmed. This breaks everything down step by step perfectly. Thank you!
That is what i was saying. I was going to make my own mask. Now i think this is too much. I didnt realize it was so much to learn. Maybe i will come back later with a fresh mind.
Thank you so much; I had my sewing machine sitting in my closet for a year decided to learn how to use it and with your help I can now start sewing. Your voice is very calming and sweet and easy to follow. Thank you !!!!
I just started learning how to sew because I'm really interested in designing my own clothes and such, this was probably the most helpful video I've watched on RUclips! Thank you! ❤️😊
I got this new machine and your video is a God-send! Thank you so much. Now I can't wait to start sewing again. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much.Pat A
Thanks for the video and good tips, I am building a custom camper and need to sew some custom curtains and I don't care what other dudes think, I'm gonna sew it myself with my new sewing machine thanks to your tutorial!! I can do it! :)
Just neglect those stereotype people (macho) who think sewing is girly thing. Just because you are using a sewing machine making things and learning new skills doesn't make you less of a man. It's all about skills, not gender. NOBODY should be ashamed of learning and developing new skills, men and women alike!
I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I don't know how to use a sewing machine -- only a needle and thread, lol. My mom used one all the time when I was little to make dresses, jackets, curtains, etc. & using patterns from the store.. all your techniques look so familiar, as I would sit and watch her, but I never really learned, idk why .. lol. Thank You soo much for this SUPER easy to follow/watch tutorial. You did a perfect job, plus you're so darned sweet! I look forward to watching more of your videos! Thanks again, love! 🙆👌👍
CRAFTYAMY What should I do if the stitches aren't straight? I mean, the stitches itself are like alternating up and down. and its suppose to be a straight stitch. I hope you could help me....Thanks....
Johnny your a jerk, if you think any girl will be impressed by your crassness you will live a sad lonely life! By the way I think your mommy is calling you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this video! I just got a sewing machine for my birthday, but I've never even SEEN one in person, much less used it. This helped me so much, best out of all the videos I've watched so far! :)
I already know how to sew but I watch this anyways... Your voice is just too adorable, and you did a good job explaining things in a simplistic manner :-).
I agree!!! The voice is just adorable, I'm a guy and already know the basics but I had to listen to the entire video due to the voice being so sexy!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a used singer talent sewing machine to sew cloth masks and this was so helpful in getting me set up and going with no prior experience with sewing machines.
THANK YOU! YOU ARE WONDERFUL! I have been watching countless videos and have been getting nowhere, and saw this video popped up and didn't have any hope, but you are fantastic and explain things very well! Plus the lighting is good which a lot of others are in the dark which is insane, thanks for helping :)
Why would anyone not like this ??? This young lady is amazing! Her parents must be so proud! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m 50 years old and you just schooled me on my machine 🤣
Been sewing by hand for years (amazingly practical skill). After 15 years, it's time to step up my game. Sewing on sleeves and hoods takes a long time by hand. But, she's a pretty good teacher none the less.
Can any guys give me tips on where/what/how to start teaching my 11 yr olds to sew in a way that will be interesting and fun for them? I know this skill will serve them well in life and want them to like it rather than just be one more chore they HAVE to do. TIA
OMG, you are ADORABLE!! I am fifty years old and FINALLY bought myself a sewing machine (yesterday). I'm so excited to learn how to use it to make crafts to sell on Etsy! Thank you so much for your video! By the way, you are an EXCELLENT teacher! You have patience and you explain things really well. Thank you so much! Take care.
How incredibly kind of you to take the time to share your dressmaking skills Amy. I have purchased a Singer Tradition 2282 and thanks to you I think I'll have the confidence to try using it. I've never used a sewing machine before but you have inspired me. Working on my vintage cars seems simple in comparison. It's a lot of information for a novice like me, but you explain everything in such clear and simple detail which is fantastic.
Thank-you darling you are just a Blessing cars and heavy equipment don't scare me as much as a sewing machine and bobbins to be sure I think I might be able to turn the machine on now great help great tutorial bravo.
Hi Amy, I'm a dad who bought a second hand sewing Machine with hopes and intentions, but it sat unused for months. I didn't know anything! One night I thought "it's time to sew!" Realising I didn't know even how to put thread in it I turned to RUclips. Your video was the very first thing I saw, and it was perfect for me as a complete novice who wanted to venture into the unknown :O) You are a star, I'm very grateful and impressed. Thank you. You made the basics really easy to follow and helped me help myself. Thank you for holding my hand on my first steps! Also your enthusiasm is infectious, I'm loving learning on my Sewing Machine. I just wanted to say huge thank you! :O)
This is seriously the best beginner sewing machine video I've ever seen (and I have seen many). Every step is explained, nothing is missing. Thank you so so much, it's been extremely helpful !
I watched about 6 different tutorials and this is the only one that showed me everything I needed to know! Some of them were even tutorials by big sewing machine/crafting companies and they didn't get it as right as you did. Thank you very much!
Great video, I'm planning to buy my first sewing machine but I'm not sure which one to buy. I don't want to buy to basic machine so I won't have to buy any other one. Thanks for your video, very helpful. Joanna X
I learned a lot haha i got a machine yesterday so im learning all the settings and all that stuff, but once i start sewing, the fabric bunchs up in the back and idk why. Im a guy btw, i just got tired of paying my tailor $20 to tailor my garments plus i want to learn how to do stuff lol thanks (:
You literally saved me. I had no clue how to do anything with my sewing machine and was freaking out until I found your video. This was such a big help, I didn't even know how to thread the needle and the bobble thing. Now I can finally use my sewing machine, after 10 years!
A little angel explaining waaay better than any adult or professional tutorial I 've come across so far. You made it so simple and easy, your voice is calming too 😙 Well done and best of luck. Thank you very much Love ....All the way from Morocco.
Hi Amy. Many thanks from London, UK. You've given us a lot of very good advice here. I'm a 55year old man, learning to sew, and you have been a great help! Keep up the good work and may God bless you 😊
When I had my sewing machine repaired the guy showed me some things and he said to always turn the wheel towards you. That is counter clockwise. That is the way it runs so I would think counter clockwise is right.
This a a great tutorial for beginners AND for people that need a refresher course, , thats me !!!!! Great job honey you didn't forget a thing and its not complicated at all ...which is great for people that kind of fear of failing on that big complicated, which isn't complicated at all once you know the basics. ....that your teaching them on this video .. I've been trying to talk my sister into using the sewing machine for years . She needs to watch this video and maybe she'll change her mind.. and heck ! We might even have a girls night out on sewing together. .. well anyways ...great job on this video dear , and thank you......
Thank you, my 7 year old niece really enjoyed your video and she said that she learned a lot. Now she’s on her toy sewing machine sewing away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Like Alton Davenport's comments, I'm another solo dad. Your sowing video is perfect for learning how to sow and I have the same model you're using here. Just purchased today and I've made my first stitches. Thank you Crafty Amy. My goal is to have my two young daughters enthusiastic about making their own clothes or modifying clothes they bought for themselves. It's a great little family project. Thank you!
I know I'm so far behind you making this video so I hope you still get this message. I can't thank you enough for making this so easy to understand....sewing has become the joy i used to know years ago when I was young and my sewing machine was a treadle. (If you know what that is..lol) Now I'm teaching my great granddaughter.
I woke from a nap wanting to learn how to sew again. I haven't sewn since '99. I think I should check the college for a course after this pandemic die down/off. I'm now a subscriber to your channel. Thank you!
Baby girl. Why you soo sweet? Couldn't learn so much cos I was just smiling at you , lol God bless you. I bought my sewing machine 9months ago tried it a few times but after watching you gonna try and do it for good. Thank you angel!
@@efuaanderson9004 it's quite nice! It works surprisingly well for what i got for it and im very happy with it! If you are considering getting it I definitely recommend^^
Thank you so much for the video. I purchased my machine used and being a novice sewer with no instruction manual, made it so that my machine sat basically unused for some time now. Thanks to you I'm ready to start sewing again

Same here. Thanks for that. I am trying to make my daughter a dress. Never used a sewing machine. Wish me luck! :)
This is like the only video that helped me understand every part
Thanks for saving me 4 hours, I was about to just hand-sew my crap while watching my sewing machine stand as an elegant dust collector. Instant sub.
awwwww thank you so much I have had my sewing machine for 10 month I now have the courage to take it out the box
Pamela Reams...I hear that! I hope I can be brave and get mine out, too! It's going on two months since I bought mine😏
got mine for christmas same here!
yay! I'm so glad! :D
Same, lol!!
Same!!!!!
Girl your tutorial is everything, I bought a new sewing machine but didn’t have a clue on how to use. I have confidence now. Thanks a bunch, God bless
Thank you. They should teach this in school, to be self productive ...

Decided I wanted to start sewing and this video makes me feel like I can fully tackle a sewing machine!
I like that you demonstrated each step slowly and clearly while also doing the steps slowly and clearly. I felt that I was able to understand your directions when you gave the information that way.
Sewing machine has been in the garage for 2 years still in the box! Dusting it off this weekend. Thanks Amy!

Hi, how was your experience with singer 2259. I am hesitant as well to buy it.
The best threading video on RUclips, easy & clear steps to follow, thank you!
Fantastic video for the beginners. I am 32 years old and got my first Ziger sewing machine. I was smiling throughout entire video. Thank you
I got a singer sewing machine for Christmas and you helped me a lot now I can impress my mom in the morning thxs
Faith Sibert Yay! :D you're welcome ;D
So after I plug it in I do what?!
Nevermind, I'll find another quarantine hobby.

Hi! My name is José Carlos ! I from Brazil, in São Paulo! I don´t understand english very well. Thanks for the video, I like very !
much
good tutorial...and thanks for calling me girl in the video ;)
thank you :) don't worry I get called a guy in every youtuber's video, "Hi Guys!" I feel your pain :(
CRAFTY AMY
I feel the same way man. LOL
That caught me off guard hehehe
CRAFTY AMY - I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets tired of the “you guys” and “hey guys” on RUclips!😖
A little angel explaining waaay better than any adult or professional tutorial I 've come across so far. You made it so simple and easy, your voice is calming too 😙
Well done and best of luck. Thank you very much
Love ....All the way from Morocco.
aww the most adorable voice ever!!
Very good video great instructions.
“Girl I got chu” 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Amy. Many thanks from London, UK. You've given us a lot of very good advice here. I'm a 55year old man, learning to sew, and you have been a great help! Keep up the good work and may God bless you 😊
When I had my sewing machine repaired the guy showed me some things and he said to always turn the wheel towards you. That is counter clockwise. That is the way it runs so I would think counter clockwise is right.
I agree. And that is the only issue I have with this video.
This a a great tutorial for beginners AND for people that need a refresher course, , thats me !!!!! Great job honey you didn't forget a thing and its not complicated at all ...which is great for people that kind of fear of failing on that big complicated, which isn't complicated at all once you know the basics. ....that your teaching them on this video .. I've been trying to talk my sister into using the sewing machine for years . She needs to watch this video and maybe she'll change her mind.. and heck ! We might even have a girls night out on sewing together. .. well anyways ...great job on this video dear , and thank you......
Thank you, my 7 year old niece really enjoyed your video and she said that she learned a lot. Now she’s on her toy sewing machine sewing away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's all coming back. Thanks! 😉
Great tutorial, thank you so much for posting! ♥️
Like Alton Davenport's comments, I'm another solo dad. Your sowing video is perfect for learning how to sow and I have the same model you're using here. Just purchased today and I've made my first stitches. Thank you Crafty Amy. My goal is to have my two young daughters enthusiastic about making their own clothes or modifying clothes they bought for themselves. It's a great little family project. Thank you!
I got a new sewing machine for Christmas and this really helped me a lot! Thank u! :D
LullaBye PPG same! but its my first sewing machine
Pink Spirit the sewing mechine that I got is my very first to!
Sinister Lao Me too, but it annoyed me so I rarely used it.
I remember the horror of the needle snapping in half when I tried using a sewing machine for the first time.
I know I'm so far behind you making this video so I hope you still get this message. I can't thank you enough for making this so easy to understand....sewing has become the joy i used to know years ago when I was young and my sewing machine was a treadle. (If you know what that is..lol) Now I'm teaching my great granddaughter.
aww thank you! Im so glad youre passing such a wonderful skill down to her :)
This is super well done! Who knows if I’ll ever get started, but I’m really impressed by your teaching lol

sofia X cosmo hi..Please how was your experience with this sewing machine
@@efuaanderson9004 it's quite nice! It works surprisingly well for what i got for it and im very happy with it! If you are considering getting it I definitely recommend^^
sofia X cosmo thanks very much..What do you use it for please?..Can it sew wigs?
Thank you so much for the video. I purchased my machine used and being a novice sewer with no instruction manual, made it so that my machine sat basically unused for some time now. Thanks to you I'm ready to start sewing again
Omg she is absolutely beautiful. I did not expect that. Wow.
I love your nails :)
Excellent job Amy! I have had this machine (2250) for about 10 years sewed many things, yet you taught me a few things. Thank you Amy
how did the needle pick up the yarn my won't pick it up can you please tell me mistake :)
omg i have the same problem :(
Yarn? Needles can't pick up yarn :) they only pick up thread or string
Maybe You Placed the Thread In the Wrong Thread Guide or there Might be a Mistake
Take my Advice Im a Garment Student...

Same 😩😩😩
Omg you sound like Marzia! also your very cuteeee
Dropped Elf hahaha thank you :)
