Hi, thank you for this info. I have problem, my needle doesn't pick up the bottom bobbin thread for some reason. Anyone else had that problem and how to solve this? Is my machine faulty?
Apparently, there is a timing issue between the needle and the rotating wheel underneath it that supposed to pick up the bottom bobbin thread. I saw this by carefully examining how the the rotating wheel hook should catch the thread from the needle. I was able to fix this by using a screw driver to place the thread on the hook. But despite of this the machine is not stitching. I guess it's a very bad design of the machine. And most probably the machine is faulty, since a lot of people reported the same issue including me.
This design is incredible! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool! sewingcrafting.com/embroidery-machine-for-clothes/ sewing machines 2022
I just bought this same machine a month ago. I knew nothing about sewing machines before..was always intimidated by it.. after my daughter showed me how to use it, it has been a source of joys to me...I sew my own skirts ..almost one a day... But today ..the thread got stuck at the U turn compartment..hence the needle has no thread feeding it..so no stitches...anyone knows how to fix this problem? Appreciate if you can advise🙏 Otherwise it is truly a great machine ..I wish to continue sewing like I never did in my life before.. And I truly would wish all my fellow novice sewing friends not to give up..take it slow..it is really rewarding..trust me...

Just got mine after waiting for a month. I’m glad I was able to find this instruction manual because the one that comes in the box shows absolutely nothing about how to thread the machine. Thanks for this!
The bobbin thread doesn’t fckn want to work or “connect” to the top thread. ITS SO FRUSTRATING (time 2:09) u said spin one time yet the thread isn’t even picking it up
I have watched HUNDREDS of tutorials to figure out what was wrong with my machine as it gets tied every time. This is the only tutorial that emphasizes how IMPORTANT is to position the thread the right way to the needle. THANK YOU!
Thank you for the visual tutorial! I just got my sewing machine, and I had a lil bit of trouble at first, but so far it's going pretty good! I still need a lot of practice though lol So far I have been working on fixing up my old quilt that my grandmother gave me. The washing machine tore some big holes into it, and my mother told me to go buy a new blanket..but I never want to throw away that quilt. XD
I just bought mine too!! I’m trying to learn how to start sewing a new fabric. Why are there only black and white bobbins? Are we allowed to purchase other colors to use?
Also when it explains threading from front to back...does it mean the tail of the thread should be facing you and the front of the machine? Or other way around? Hard to tell in the video
@@thebusybee957 Hmm..I might not be the best at explaining it either, but if you mean the thread when it hangs out of the needle/bobbin area, I have it face me/the front of the machine. Also random tip, try not to use the reverse function. I tried a couple times and got some bad jams. XD luckily got them untangled.
Nga Nguyen I love the machine. I bought it a while ago but rarely used it due to unfamiliarity. Now after watching the video I feel confident. I have yet to wind the bobbin, lol.
Quien responde no traía el aparato q hace hojales. Nadie responde. Ya q ese objeto se usa para las otras puntadas.. Estamos 2023 y aún.. No se corrigen acciones como estas lamento comprado esta maquinita🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
I’m having so much trouble with the main input/output connecting to the machine. It doesn’t seem to want to push all the way into the machine, so there’s 1/2 the silver metal still showing. This can’t be right?? It won’t go in any further.
@@Stuffyoushouldknow. no :( I even dismantled the machine and realised the casing where the bobbin sits isn't turning as well as it should. But I don't know how to fix it...so I guess it's a lost cause as I didn't apply for its warranty lol
@@Stuffyoushouldknow. per research, it's the timing of the needle and hook under the bobbin. The timing must be adjusted: either the hook will be adjusted, or the needle will be adjusted. I will have a friend working in Brother who'll help me this Saturday. I'll give update.
Thank you thank you thank you!! I bought the exact model for my mom... try to use it today and was a total nightmare. You really save me this time haha 😄
Mine was working fine before, then after I changed the thread to slightly thinner ones and the bobbin thread too, I couldnt sew anything! Help idk whats wrong. I pull put the trail cloth and whole thing un-sew itself
Your instructions said to thread the needle from back to front. When you put up a caution just after you then said to thread the needle from front to back. So which is it?
1:31Your comment was a few months ago. But, to help anyone else wondering. They were talking about the needle threader at that point. To push the needle threader pin thing, from the back of the needle eye to the front, us looping the thread in and pulling the needle threader out. Will make us thread from front to back. Their main thing take away was, whether we use that method or don't, to make sure we thread needle eye front to back.
It okayy video but I just buy yesterday how ever it has some people the fabric keep on going in the thing and when the fabric got stuck after that needles doesn't work properly also the light keep going off and on can some one please help me to fix this
Hope you can help me. My FHSM-505 would get stuck after a few stitches even when the fabric I am stitching is not too thin and not too thick. It would stitch about 4 stitches and then stops. After turning the hand wheel, it would stitch again but only a few then gets stuck again. I hope you could tell me the problem of my machine. Thank you.
Do you know where a person would find additional attachments for this machine such as variety of pressure feet etc. I have this machine and I like it so far but I thought it was going to come with other accessories.
Pressure feet designed as "snap on" should fit this machine. The feet will have a little bar for the pressure foot holder to snap on to. Avoid feet that have a shank attached.
Thank you! I really could not understand how to thread the bobbin with the blurry picture in the manual and this helped a lot! It still feels like sorcery that it threads by turning the wheel counter clockwise ha ha!
Stay way from that piece of shit. Breaks after a few uses. Bought two and same result. Needle does not keep the wire, pedal breaks, cant do thick or multi layers fabrics. It suck, its cheap and does not even worth 10$.
AsianHambaby it is so good I love it I made a lot of masks u just have to learn daily because I had a lot of problems but I keep looking on TH-cam and every problems was fix ! I’m so great full I’m feeling like a pro now !
I have broken thread caught inside the tight compartment of take up lever. Just received my machine and only used for 10minutes. Please please help. Thank you
Is there no way to adjust the pressure on the foot??? Ive looked everywhere and i cant adjust it, mines too tight and i need to sew up a dress please help
This machine worked for me on a couple small repairs then when kaplooey somewhere in the bobbin area. Needle goes down and pulls to the left and it gets jumbled up right from the start. Very disappointing as I have sewn since I was 12 on a Japanese Kenmore that has been broken for years, so I got this cheapy thing as a "quick fix." Well, at least I got to repair two things. If anyone has any tips for the same problem, I'd appreciate. It's not the tension, I don't believe, but something is not connecting in the bobbin area. Plus the magnet that holds the bobbin is nothing like the compartment that holds the bobbin in my old Kenmore.

Hello I have a similar machine but they call it a Birgitta now the machine instructions says flat side to the RIGHT but the Universal needles says flat side BACK. If I follow the Universal way will this effect the function of the machine? Also I have found replacing the needle tricky (either way) its wobbly falls outs tried many times to no avail. Can you tell me what the problem is? Please. Many thanks
I watched the video, but the tread keeps jamming. I have followed all the steps. It's driving me crazy can't figure out what's wrong. Have not been able to sew anything. Please help, or it's going back 🙏

Please my pattern at 9 to 12 doesn’t come as zigzag but rather straight stitch.Any help please
So bobbin thread should be the number "9" and not the letter "p" when putting it back in? Clockwise not counter clockwise?
the upper needle doesn't pick up the lower thread. how can i fix this?
Same, it just happens in videos and no one explains it
In my case, I just let the thread slip from the slider then hold it when I begin to stitch. It will automatically be pick up by the needle .
Check the upper thread if you put it on the right way
Pull on the upper thread while turning the hand wheel towards you.
Mines the same! Anyone figured it out??
I have broken thread caught inside the tight compartment of take up lever. Just received my machine and only used for 10minutes. Please please help. Thank you
