Did everyone just get sewing machines lmao also thank youuu
Lol, I guess they did! And you are very welcome, thank you for watching! Here's another short video on how to replace the needle. I accidentally left this out of the first video. th-cam.com/video/JRXSBM97hS0/w-d-xo.html
Thank youu your videos are really helpful and I’ll definitely check the other video out!
Bro i just got one
@@gumdropz1213 literally me too
Yes lmaooo
I'm a dude an I realize a southern lady could teach me anything and I'd get the idea. Ty Ma'am.
Aww, thank ya', sir ;)
Lol same
But not the dude part
I've noted on TH-cam that several men have made videos about sewing a variety of projects (like masks), so you're in good company, dude! 🤠
I took my grandmother & her sewing skills for granted. She passed before I was interested in sewing. I just wanna thank you for teaching me how to use my new machine.❤
💕you’re so sweet! I’m so glad it helped you! Thanks for watching ☺️
Same with me. I have adhd so sitting and learning with her was hard but I really wanted to but then once my dad passed I was too depressed to learn. I am almost 40 and learning now. Never too late.
It’s always the nice ladies who take their time to actually teach others. I was so confused and you helped me so much!!!
I got the sewing machine yesterday for Christmas 🎄 and I’m just nine this video helped so much thx
Wonderful! I think I was about 9 when I started sewing! Have fun, just go slow, and watch your fingers :)
Practice on your machine like you would practice learning how to ride a bicycle. Your machine is simply a tool that helps you make new things and like every tool, a person learns how to best use it by taking their time 😊 You can even learn how it works on the inside and perhaps how to keep it clean and running well.
i just bought this machine to learn how to sew and i appreciate this “how to” more than you know!
I have had this sitting in the box for 4 months. When I opened it and scan through the manual I got overwhelmed, so I googled for an instructive video and yours popped up.
I'm so glad because your video is easy to follow, with clear instructions and helpful tips. Rather then spend hours reading the manual, you got me started and ready to go in 20 minutes!! When I need help again I'll come right back to you!! Thanks so much.
Awesome! I’m so glad it was helpful!! Thanks for watching 💕
Hello. Out of necessity I recently purchased the Brother LX3817, because of my daughter-in-laws recommendation. Had never used a machine before. However, after 2 months I find it really easy to use for my sewing projects, and I have learned so much about other types of machines and sewing. Turns out the learning process is not as difficult, as I thought it would be. I have begun to look forward to using my little investment (almost) everyday. Only thing is I need to purchase some new material and a few extra needles. I have had a lot of fun learning a new skill at my age. Thank you so much for this video.
Shop for Organ needles at wawak.com. Organ Needle Company makes the Brother and Janome needles that come packed with new machines.
@@hummingbirdlady11 Thank you (with a wide smile). I will check it out a.s.a.p.
@@mandycarter7094 You're very welcome. Actually, maybe you're ready for 100 bulk needle orders since sewing almost every day getting needles in bulk of 100 needles is very economical coming to 13 cents to 28 cents per needle. 100 of the same kind of needle sounds like a lot but if sewing every day and changing the needle after 5 hours of sewing goes through a lot of needles. In fact, even after just a few minutes of sewing through a Velcro patch, I change that needle (put it in the throw out needle/pin container). After a thread jam, change that needle even if it has just been put in. No headaches about changing needles often when not thinking about pitching a $1 or even 50 cents needle. This site has free shipping on Organ bulk needles at super prices for a variety of needle types. Be sure to click on Household Machine Needles (the ones with flat backs) My favorite brand is Organ Needles (like Brother, Janome and Juki sewing machine use). Important to Note: Brother LX 3817 and it's similar models (just different face colors) can NOT use a size 18 needle. Size 16 is the largest size it's engineered to use. Using a size 18 will cause stitch problems that mimic tension issues.

@@hummingbirdlady11 I am so thankful for you right now! You have given me more information about needles than the instructions paper work that came with my machine...hahahahaha! Thank you.
@@mandycarter7094 Thank you. I sure appreciate your comments. : )
As you become a wise sewing machine guru, pass on the info. LOL
Although I don't have the Aqua LX3817A, I think the manual is the same as for my LX3817 (white with blue paisley). There's a Fabric, Thread and Needle Combinations chart on page 22. The largest size needle on that chart is a size 100/16 (100 is the European metric size # and 16 is the American size #). Since size 110/18 is omitted then that means it can not be used in this model sewing machine.
I’ve been hand stitching since I was a little girl and my grandma never got the chance to show me how to use any machines but this was incredibly helpful so thank you so much for doing this for people like me that need guidance!!!
I agree! I learned how to hand sew as a little girl and now at 20 I'm trying to take on bigger projects and learn how to use basic machines. This video was so easy to follow!
I just got my machine about a month ago and every time I forget how to do something I come back and refer to this video! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad it was helpful! I just made a new video on how to make a quilt if you'd like to check it out th-cam.com/video/5NnouujpNlM/w-d-xo.html
I'm a visual learner and I knew as soon as I picked up that thick info packet I was screwed. Thank you for explaining everything in a more clear and concise way. I'm 33, I have always wanted a sewing machine, and my husband just got me one for my 33rd birthday :) I have about 2% experience with sewing machines,but i did make a pocket in my Highschool family and consumer science class (home ec) lol but lord that was nearly 20 years ago!
I'm definitely subscribing so I can learn about all the ins and outs! Thanks again!
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
This is my THIRD time buying a machine and attempting to sew. And maam let me tell you, youre the reason I plan to continue this hobby. The instructions were confusing me SO much and your video explained really well. So many time Id get confused just trying to thread and get the string correctly then jut give up because the paper was frustrating.Thank you
I knew there was something wrong but I had no idea what! My bobbin refused to get full of thread and the needle was only going up + down!! But watching this sure solved that all right! I moved the thing over and then the bobbin got wound.
And it was going sooooo fast the big upper thread flew right off that "stick"! I was laughing at that! It was very hilarious!!
You uploaded this video 10 months ago from today and 10 months later, it's still making using a sewing machine easier for beginners. Thank you, ma'am, and please continue to live out part of your purpose in this life by posting more helpful content :) #Blessings
I never would have imagined it would remain relevant for this long! Thank you!
I have had this machine sitting in my closet for years and I finally have learned to use it. Thank you.
Yay! Have fun!
I'm 11 and I got the same exact sewing machine yesterday and i just came upon you're video it was very helpful i had to watch a few times to get everything but thank you ☺️
That’s awesome! Just take your time and I know you will make amazing things!
Same here
so far, all of the videos i’ve watched on how to get started on this machine made me want to give up, but this is the best one i’ve came across! i’m so motivated to get started! thank you so much :)
Yay! Just have fun and don't give up :)
Just bought one today! When she said below $80 , you see how inflation has hit and I bought it for $88😂
Yay! You'll enjoy it, even if was a little higher :)
Plus tax 😂
Thank you so much for this video! I learned to hand sew as a little girl but was never taught on a machine. At 20 I have bought my first machine and spent over an hour fiddling with it last night with the book. This video was so helpful. Can't wait to get home and work on it with you as a guide!
YAY! I know you will enjoy sewing!
I bought mine today! I learned how to hand sew last night and realized that it takes forever so I bought this sewing machine at Walmart for $85. Your video has been VERY helpful. WAY BETTER than the instruction manual.
Wonderful! Have fun!
This helped me so so much. I am brand new to sewing and wanted to hem my pants so they actually fit. The bobby thing was messing me up so bad and you saved me! You're awesome and thank you!
Aww, I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I bought this sewing machine yesterday at Walmart . I was so surprised, It was the only one on the shelf! I had been wanting one for a while now. The last time I used one was in middle school.😊 I can’t wait to get started with mine! I would love to see how you sew face masks . Thank You for this video! 💕
Yay! I know you will enjoy this! I think I will do a video on masks!
Thank you so much! I was having so much trouble threading the bobbin - I was putting it through the wrong clip and just wouldn't work - when I saw exactly where it was supposed to be threaded in the bobbin case, it worked perfectly the first time! Thank you!!!!!
WOW WOW WOW! It’s my lucky day to have found your channel. What a blessing you are. I know ZERO about sewing, got my machine today, and without your guidance wouldn’t have a clue how to proceed. You are a wonderful teacher!
Awesome, and thank you! I've been teaching math to high schoolers for over 20 years now, so it's quite refreshing to teach something fun to willing participants lol!
The absolute best memories I had with my mother was when she would sew the most beautiful outfits for me. I would buy an outfits from the mall and she would recreate it to a much higher quality and then I would get my money back. I wish I had asked her to teacher me, but I was only her mannequin😂 I bought a sewing machine around 1992-93 and the front-loading bobbin kept jamming up. I only made a vest and then a co-worker asked if she could borrow it, and I never saw my machine again. Now 30 years later I'm about to buy this machine from Walmart for only just $88.
Sad
Just bought one today! Thank you much for the tutorial. I always find that videos like this are so much easier that the instructional ones that come with the machine. I can't wait to use mine tonight.
Thank you! I just got my machine for Christmas yesterday and I can not wait to get started!
Oh yay! I know you will enjoy it!
I'M JUMPING UP AND DOWN IM SO HAPPY! I just did my first line of stitching in over 10 years! I can't wait to make all the projects I have in mind! thank you so much for posting this in great detail!!
Aww-some! I’m so happy for you! Just have fun 😊
Thank you so much for this guide. I am over here crying with excitement. I am planning sewing some baby blankets.
How awesome! I just made a video about making rag quilts if you want to check that out :) Thanks for watching!!! th-cam.com/video/5NnouujpNlM/w-d-xo.html
I can't thank enough for the little tutorial instructional video!!! I just purchased the brother 3817 at Walmart. I have not sewn in years and this was such a great reminder video to get my sewing adventures started back up!! 🪡🧵📍👏👏👏
Thank you sooo much!!!! 🙏
Got a brother for Christmas, this video helped a lot, thanks
Congrats on the new machine! Thank you for watching and I'm glad it helped!
twinzies
I haven't sewn with a machine since I was a teenager 20 something years ago. I got this little machine to make facemask & for other simple projects. Thank you for the easy to follow step up & basics... It's all coming back to me now! Bless you... ❤️
Thanks for your video! The detailed view helped me to get my bobbin threaded--I've been trying for a bit!😊
You’re so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. My aunt passed away and left me her sewing machines and I had no idea how to use them until now!! 💖💖
I'm so glad they were helpful!
Thank you so much, I had mines threaded wrong. You’re the only one I found so far who threads it this way, the correct way.
Awesome! I’m so glad the video was helpful!
Bought my girlfriend her first sowing machine (this exact one) and your video was perfect in demonstrating everything we needed to know for our first project/attempt! Thank you so much!
Awesome! I know she will enjoy her new machine!
I see that a lot of fellows have made "how to sew" videos, so you may find yourself sewing up something for your own use as well!
Thank you to my southern mommas teaching me the way
Lol, you are very welcome! Thanks for watching☺️
You made this so easy i followed along and felt so comfortable i started calling you auntie by the end of the video. lol. 💓
Be Blessed Auntie you're a life saver🤗
Aww, I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I felt like my mom was teaching me how to set it up. She doesn’t know how to sew haha I’m starting tonight and greatly appreciate you walking through each step. Very easy to follow and incredibly helpful!
My grandmother taught me but after years of not sewing I forgot everything I learned
Never stitched in my life. First time I got this sewing machine and using this video as a guide. I saved it and learning everything by pausing and learning. Thank you so much!!
Yay! You are so welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful😊 Thanks for watching!
I just got a dress for a wedding and I want it to go from cap sleeves to long sleeves and I’m getting a sewing machine tomorrow so this helps so much lol
ive watched this video about 2 or 3 times since i bought my machine two weeks ago, just started my first big project and came back to wind bobbin. love your style of speaking it makes me feel as if you’re teaching me personally, thank you!
This was the Best and easy to follow instruction. My first time ever working with a sweing machine and I did it all the way to a straight stich with you. THANK YOU! 🙏
Awesome! I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching😊
My mum just bought this sewing kit and we put on this video. It was very easy to follow along and thank you for making this video 💗
Thanks so much! I hope you and your mum are having fun!
That's a very detailed demo. Just bought this machine and hopefully I should be able to use it by following your demo.
I hope you enjoy your new machine!
@@momdoesstuff will use it tomorrow and update here 🙂
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Just bought this machine last week and have hemmed jeans and slacks. Learned from your vid, there is a DVD and a thread-cutter already on the machine, BRILLIANT! Thank you SOOOOOO much.
You are so welcome! I’m so glad it helped you out. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for teaching me what my mom couldn’t please adopt me
Awww, you’re so sweet! I’m glad the video helped you 😘
Thank you for this video!! I've not used a sewing machine in years. Always had grandma or mom around to help remind me of the steps. Definitely started coming back to me as I went through the steps. Much appreciated!
Just got my first machine for Christmas today & this video was so handy as a newbie!! Thank you so much & Merry Christmas :)
How wonderful! I'm sure you will have a lot of fun using your new machine! Be sure and check out this video about how to change the needles. I left that out of this video :( th-cam.com/video/JRXSBM97hS0/w-d-xo.html
My husband got me this machine Christmas 2018 and I've been afraid to touch it. My mom was a seamstress and although she'd let me play, she never let me really work with it. She passed in 2008, leaving me an unfinished baby blanket that was intended for someone else. I'd love to finish it and use it for our baby girl born this past November. Hopefully with your guidance I'll get this project completed! Thanks Mom 💜
I think finishing that blanket would be awesome! The machine is your friend lol! No need to fear it :) I made another video about a quilt that may have some helpful info in it, otherwise don't hesitate to ask any questions here :) th-cam.com/video/5NnouujpNlM/w-d-xo.html
Obtain material like that used to make the baby blanket and practice on it. Make all your mistakes on an unimportant piece of teaching material before you move on to the important blanket. Mom's ideas are helpful, and also see TH-camr Evelyn Wood (who looks a bit like an Australian Snow White but does a lot of sewing and teaching). Wait to tackle that important project until after you are confident with your machine :)
Thank you so much this was so helpful my mom got one of these for Christmas & needed help getting started but with the help of this video she was sewing in no time!
Omg same! I'm using felt to start off
Yay! I bet she’s having fun!
Oh, yay! Felt is a good fabric to use!
You can also use paper to practice on!
I just purchased this machine. It has been about 45 years since I have sewn. I appreciate the refresher course. After I get it out of the box, I'll probably be back with some questions. Thanks for the video.
I had been out of sewing a while myself before I picked up this machine. It's a great little machine! Thanks for watching!
Haven't used a sewing machine since idk when lol recently got a sewing machine and this video helped me out a lot!!! Thanks 😊 now I'm sewing away!!
Yay! I'm so glad it was helpful!
I’ve had this exact machine in my closet since November. I got it for my birthday but have been too intimidated to even watch the included video, lol. You made it seem easy though. I’m going to watch the video real quick and then follow yours as I begin. Thank you. As far as ideas...I always wanted to make covers for my decorative square pillows. The kind of covers without zippers but just a folded over opening on the back that you slide your pillow into. (Apologies if you’ve already done a video on this, it’s my first time visiting.)
Congratulations! I haven't done any tutorials on those yet, but i think that's a great idea! Thank you and good luck!
I totally agree 👍 That is the only reason I bought my machine too.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!! I was looking for some way to shift my needle since it was on the left! Thank you, thank you!!
You are so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. I bought the machine 4 months back and was struggling to use it. I stitched for the first time. Thanks again!
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Yes this video was in depth and helpful and explain what that number dial was for.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I received this machine free but (practically new-maybe used once) with no instructions and it has been about 20 years since I have sewn anything. You were very helpful to
me! THANK YOU!!!
After you put the bobbin on and push to the right you have to turn it clockwise until it is in place. It will then wrap the thread evenly.
I’ll have to try that! Thanks!
My family is growing and we really needed a machine. Day 1 today and this video helped me out. Thanks a ton!
Just bought this sewing machine am excited to get started thank you for the video
Thank for watching! I know you will have fun!
Hi I was thinking about buying this to keep me from boredom. Was it difficult learning on this machine, was it worth it? Any tips?
Thank you! My husband brought this machine for me 6 months ago. I am finally getting some motivation. Bless day!
You are so welcome! I know you will enjoy sewing on your new machine! I made another video showing how to make a cute little quilt if you're looking for a beginner project :) th-cam.com/video/5NnouujpNlM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for this!! It helped me more than the directions did!
Saaaaaaame.
Going to my first sewing group this morning. I've only done one project on my brother machine. Thanks for the wonderful video, very informative. And your accent is just darling.
Awww, thanks! The sewing group sounds like fun! Thanks so much for watching 💕
oh this is the perfect video I was lookin for!!! thank you so much for your time and energy!!! you're a blessing!!!!!!!!
so nice to hear someone explain what I need in a way I can understand ♡
My daughter is trying to learn how to use this sewing machine and your videos is helping her really out she's only just 10 and I'm think she's getting better at it now thank you very much thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
Oh, this is so sweet! Tell her to just keep working at it and soon she'll be sewing anything she wants to! Thank you so much for sharing this with me!
Can you discuss the different types of tension needed when you use stretch material, velvet, or different types of materials? Thanks Your Great
Very helpful, got me up and running after something like 15 years of not using a sewing machine!
Lol, you never really forget ☺️
One thing at the end that you did, but didn't mention it is you quickly turned the take up lever all the way up before you resumed sewing the second stitch. I know that on my Brother (different model) if I don't do that whenever starting to sew again, it breaks the thread and I have to start over. When I first started sewing, no one could tell me why my thread was breaking every time I restarted after cutting thread and somehow I figured it out. I even took the machine into a sewing repair shop and they couldn't tell me, probably because it's considered so basic that everyone is supposed to know it, but I didn't, so you might point that out. The other thing I have to do is push both upper and lower threads towards the rear of my machine when I restart or the thread breaks or piles up.
Excellent point. Thanks!
This may solve my problem! Thank you for the video & comment
I got this machine Last year for my birthday and I haven’t used it yet, I used to sew with my mom on her old machine but I haven’t ever learned how to use a machine myself. Thanks for the video, I’m going to learn how to sew all kinds of magnificent things! 💜💜
Yes! I know you will enjoy it!
Your information is good but the position of your hand blocks vision on things you're trying to show and your camera's not close enough. I really needed this kind of help but I really couldn't tell what you were doing when you put your hand in front of what you're actually talking. About thanks anyway
Try this one th-cam.com/video/0GZ9KDDkB-I/w-d-xo.html
My lord. You are wonderful. One of the best video teachers I've ever seen in my life. Change nothing about how you do things. I wish I could hug you.
Aww,, thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much i was so confused about my new machine
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
My daughter have been taking sewing lessons for the last 3 months from a friend of mine. She got really into it & I bought her this brand sewing machine for her b-day. She was really excited and can't wait to get started. Thank you for doing a great step by step instruction for this machine.
How exciting! I know she will enjoy it.
I just purchased this Brother LX3817 from Walmart a few days ago. I was shocked when I opened the box. There was no paperwork what so ever. No manual, no manufacture warranty information, no nothing. All that was in the box was the sewing machine it's self. That's it. My first thought was, This must be a return that was placed back on the shelf. I was getting ready to return this to Walmart. Then, I decided to try it out to see if it works. I learned this is a fantastic machine for the price. Works great!. I'm Still in shock with the question, where is the manual and all the extra that was supposed to come with it? How many ran into this issue?
Brother has great customer service. Just call or email and they will send you the missing accessories. Hope you are enjoying your machine!
There's a TH-cam video on operating a brother machine.
I love your videos! I have not found any other person on TH-cam that explained all my questions I had in their videos. You are so in depth about trying to explain the skill set you have the best you can. Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you I would have never figured out my brother sewing machine!! ❤
Awesome! I’m so glad they were helpful!
I thought you did a great job.. it really helped me with mine to get started.
This video was so helpful! Just bought this machine as my first one and it worked on the first try - followed all the steps. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I’m glad it helped you out 🤗
Nice now I'll go see if it'll behave, i swear i can see with my great machines but this one is not cooperating😂😂😂
Think I can help you.i was having real bad stitches often it was very frustrating but today I look at the video again I found out I was threading bobbin all wrong and where the bobbin go I was missing a whole step but today I figured it all out..talk about I'm happy now my stitches are neat the thread not popping so often..I'm one happy sewer now..
perfect.. just what I needed to start back up sewing again.. it's been over 20 years since I picked up a machine and this helped with the basics of using one. Thanks!!
You’re so welcome! Have fun😊
I love your instruction. Omg you saved me now I am ready to try and sew.
I'm so glad you liked it! I just put up a project video if you want to try a Raggy Edged quilt :) th-cam.com/video/5NnouujpNlM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video. My daughter received this machine as a gift last week and I haven't operated a sewing machine for many many years. I think your videos will be extremely helpful to both of us! ♡
Wonderful! I'm so glad it was helpful! I bet you and you daughter are going to make many memories together :)
You're instructions were so clear, very helpful!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Very detailed and clear. Thank you!
You helped me so much. It was like my own mom teaching me. I'm a southern girl myself so you having that accent also made me feel at home lol Thanks so much for this video! Can't wait to start making things!
Awww, how sweet! I'm glad the video was helpful!
thank you for such a detailed explanation!
You are so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you ! I’ve had this sewing machine for a little over a year. I bought it to make wigs but I couldn’t get it going, this helped me so much! Lol I’ve watched a ton of other videos!!
Yay! I'm so glad it helped get you going!
Thank you so much. You made it so easy to understand.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your video! I recently decided to get into sewing, and my mom got me this machine for Christmas...and I ended up feeling too intimidated to actually start learning for months😅. Your video was very clear and easy to follow, and I'm excited again to start sewing❤
THIS IS THE EXACT ONE I HAVE
This video was extremely informative and any time I forget something simple, I come back to this one. Aside from the visual, she explains well enough for me to understand and follow along! Props to her for this thorough, step by step video! I also have this exact sewing machine! I prefer hand stitching, but sometimes the machine helps the process run faster
@@draacu Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful!
This is by far the best beginners video ever! I started the video knowing nothing about sewing or sewing machine and ended up learning how to use the equipment! Bravo! 🎉🎉👏🏼
Thank you..
P.S. can you please teach us how to change the needles next? 😊
See if this helps any :) th-cam.com/video/JRXSBM97hS0/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
I just got my sowing machine that is the same as yours
Awesome! I know you will enjoy it! Be sure and watch this video about how to replace the needle. I accidentally left it out of the first video :( th-cam.com/video/JRXSBM97hS0/w-d-xo.html
This is really useful video
Thank you
My question is I have same machine but my stitches are not coming properly it’s stitches for little bit again it’s not
And my niddle is not picking up bobbing thread
Can you please help
I’m so sorry you are having trouble! Might be a bent needle. Try a fresh needle and see if that helps
@@momdoesstuff
Thank you for your reply
I checked and my needle position was wrong I changed it and now it’s working fine .
Thanks again
This helped my Teenage daughter tremendously 🥳🥰 THANKS 😊 This is her 3rd machince!
How awesome! I’m so glad it helped her out!
Why is my bottom thread cutting as well? I have to re do it Everytime.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to help me get started with my machine. I found that the bobbin winder just didn't work well enough to keep my bottom thread from tangling, so I've ordered some prewound ones from Amazon to try. Your instructions were very straight forward with no fuss. I appreciate this video a lot!
Yay! I'm so glad it helped you!
Thank you for this! I bought one of these machines at a consignment store and it didn't come with a manual. I'm having a hard time finding the manual online. Does anyone here know how to find it?
support.brother.com/g/b/manualtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hf_lx3817eus Hope that helps!
I just want to thank you so much!! I bought my sewing machine nearly 4 years ago. I tried to sew on it and never could fully figure it out. Watching your video has helped me out so much! I am no longer discouraged by sewing! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I'm glad it got you started!
Thank you for the video, very helpful. Do you know if my Ball Point needle from my Brother Project Runway will be compatible with my Brother LX3817A? I would love to see you sew a stretchy knit fabric....I'm wanting to make some Gator masks for my Grandchildren. Thank you so much.
Should work just fine :)
Thank you for your inspirational video. I've never used the song machine besides when I was a kid. And when I was a kid I did the very thing you said not to. I stuck my finger under where the bobbin is. And I accidentally hit the pedal. But yes you did answer a lot of questions that I didn't have about the machine and I just wanted to thank you.
You are so very welcome! I'm so glad you found the video helpful :) Happy sewing!
Would you say this is decent for denim or curtain material? Also is this good for stretch fabric? Definitely interested in getting this one.
I think it would be fine with thicker fabrics, just be sure to use a denim needle, which is just a stronger needle. I don't have a lot of luck with stretch material on any machine LOL. I just don't have the patience I guess.
