@@KendallScavella906 I wish you a sucessful treatment and speedy recovery love ❤ I probably did write it just for you because in some way or the other you needed to see this and know you're not alone 😌 I hope you enjoy sewing up a storm
Learning to use a sewing machine was one of the smartest and most economical things I've ever learned to do! People don't realize how important the fit of your clothes is! Thanks for the great videos!
I'm a self-taught sewer. In 60 years, I've made bridal gowns, men's suits, drapery, and upholstery. After that, let me say that your tutorials are the absolute best. How I wish your lessons had been available before. I enjoy every minute, of watching you. Thank you. And you are so charming.
I've been going around like a headless chicken trying to find sewing course and the one I found are not up to date with information or answering on time. So now if this lady's lessons are as effective as you say then I've found my teacher. ❤
I've been watching "sewing for beginners" videos on and off for years, and always get so frustrated as the teachers use terminology that beginners wouldn't know as they don't sew yet. I always feel lost and learn nothing. This is the first video I found that ACTUALLY speaks to beginners! I love it, thank you for the simplicity and detailed explanations!
Just because 'teachers' are experienced and may have numerous certificates and be brilliant at what they do, doesn't mean they are good at imparting knowledge and information to other people.This is a brilliant video, well presented, and easy to understand. Thank you.
My mom used to be a seamstress. Sadly she died when I was 10. I never realised how LUCKY I was to have my own clothes stitched by mom. I miss her a lot and I want to learn this just coz I feel I'll be more closer to her. I miss her so much and I wish I had her.to teach me.

I’ve just finished my first sewing project and feel so damn proud of myself… I also lost count of how many times I had to rip seems, re-pin, and re-sew things 😅. So like I learned a lot! But maybe I don’t have to learn it all the hard way, thanks so much for these videos 😊
I failed my sewing course in highschool becuase my teacher just told everyone to follow instructions from the textbook. She never showed us how to sew or use the sewing machine. So alot of my peers and I struggled. I now have the confidence to learn sewing again. I went through so much anxiety being in that class room. Thankyou so much!
I failed my high school sewing course even though I was already making clothes at home, because she had us going round in circles making table mats with different machine stitches, and I was bored to tears. Sometimes it's more about bad teaching than being bad at something.
I'm starting a new business, and have never used a sewing machine in my life. Your video is so well done and explained, that I'm feeling confident in my ability to do this!
I have just purchased a sewing machine for my daughter for her birthday. I know nothing about sewing and thought her and I could learn together. your tutorials are so easy to follow and understand!
I'm going to learn to sew because my granddaughters clothes are too expensive and not cute enough, so I'm going to make them myself. Thank you for helping me
I have been seeing for 50+ years and will be helping someone else to learn to use her machine. Your video is excellent! I know I have picked up shortcuts and maybe even some bad habits over the years, so you have helped me to prepare to teach the basics to someone with no experience. I believe that EVERYONE should be able to sew enough to accomplish some basic mending and alterations and have a basic machine at the ready. Knowing how to sew has been a tremendous blessing in my life and the lives of my family, and the ability to create clothing and other items to keep or gift to others is an empowering and creative experience. You are doing a great job and I am thoroughly enjoying your accent too!
Watch our NEW Beginners Sewing Course - Day 1. Learn how to thread a sewing machine, wind a bobbin and what needle / thread you should be working with. Enjoy!
Wow, I've never seen someone explain something with such clarity. It's so easy to follow. Great job. Thank you. I've picked this up as a new hobby. Can't wait to actually make something.
Thank you for your excellent tutorials. At 56, male, and can do literally everything in the house including complex DIY, sewing and the sewing machine have eluded me. I hope I could master the basics before I turn 65 ! I have more confidence now with your help. Thank you again. Subscribed.
I absolutely love that these are videos for actual beginners. They don't assume I know anything at all (which indeed I don't), so I'm loving this. I had no idea about the thread or the needles or any of it, and I love that you're going through everything bit by bit. A lot of "beginner"-videos I see sort of assume you already know how to thread your machine, so I cannot stress enough how helpful these videos are. Sod the haters and keep at it. Oh and also, English isn't my first language, and while I am pretty much fluent, the spoken language can occasionally be hard to understand, but you are speaking clearly and are well articulated, so thank you for that too.
Beginner here! I have struck gold with this site! I purchased Viking Emerald 116 a couple of years ago and have been struggling to get information. This is hands down the best, most detailed, easy to follow instructions I have come across!
Hi Robin :) Thank you for your lovely comment and words. I am so glad you found my tutorial useful and easy to follow. There will be lots more coming soon! Aneka x
Made to Sew Thank You very much! Just got my first new sewing machine in 30 years and this tutorial will help me to fill the bobbin and know how to begin sewing with my new Brother "Project Runway" machine. Technology sure has improved! Peace and Health to all who enjoy sewing out there! Great fun!
Really pleased you enjoyed the tutorials Helen. I wish you all the best with your sewing & new sewing machine. Thank you for posting such a nice comment. Aneka
I'm here in September, 2024. Thank you for this opportunity. I have always wanted to learn how to sew but being a single mum with 4 children really took some of my dream. My last son just got into college. So, I think it's time I live my dream. I can't wait to start sewing 😊😊😊
I have been using this machine for about a month now. just found the thread cutter, first time managed to use the auto threader. easy as. I come back to your videos to guide me. the original 1923 singer sewing machine. i learned on. also had a thread cutter. the new machine. all machines. good to know i remembered the basics. I only just found the button to push that raises the feeder plate. You dont mess about. Your Channel is a great comfort. Thankyou. I love seeing everyone's creations on Facebook. so much talent. Thankyou for sharing x
I want to start my own business and I was going to pay for a class to learn how to sew but I thought I should start with these free courses online first before going to them. I just want to thank you so much for this free course!! I am so grateful!!
I was searching for a very good channel to teach me and give me advice in sewing. Nice voice, nice personality, plain explanation, understandable English … I found all I was searching for, thank you a lot!
I recently acquired a Husqvarna Viking Scandinavia 200 and know nothing about it. I'm more comfortable working with my Husqvarna Forest Axe than a sewing machine and so I turned to TH-cam for some basic instructions. I appreciate the introductory lesson and look forward to learning more. All the best. -Tripp
Hi Tripp, I am really pleased that you are enjoying the videos! I hope you feel more comfortable with your sewing machine after watching them. I wish you all the best with your sewing, good luck! Aneka
I haven't sewn (on a machine) in over 35 years. I just bought a new machine (baby lock brilliant) which is by far different from my Mom's old singer i used when i was 16. Figured i should start with the basics. I watched several other videos but this one by far was the most useful to me. Between this video and my new machine's manual i was able to use my machine within minutes and with more confidence than previous tries over the years. I truly can't thank you enough for doing this video! THANK YOU!
Omg... these tutorial videos are absolutely the best for all newbies. Now I know how to sow in a machine, finally. After many years of putting it in back burner, bcz I just didn't spare the time and was afraid of spending the $ on a machine and possibly not going through with it, I did it. These videos are extremely detailed and at a good speed for someone like me, who knew nothing about sowing. My machine is Singer so slightly different in only a couple of things, but with the manual at hand and these videos, wow, im just beyond words. Im so thankful for your videos. They are professional, clear, detailed they are the most helpful I found.
I just got my Emerald 118 and this will be the first time on sweing. I've loved your tutorial and the way you explain and position the camera. Lucky me having met you in TH-cam. Thanks a lot!!
Hi Mary, wow thank you so much for your lovely words. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you in some small way. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing machine. Aneka x
I am enjoying watching your video. Although I'm no beginner, it never hurts to watch and to have a refresher course now and again. It helps me to relearn and to do a recap on the things I already know. Incidentally, I especially enjoyed this first video for a special reason. I own and use the exact same model sewing machine as you used here, the Husqvarna Viking, Emerald 116. These are true mechanical sewing machines, which is exactly what I need. Moreover, these are real workhorse sewing machines with plenty of power to spare. I found early on that if I am sewing thick or heavyweight fabrics, owning and using an even feed walking foot really does the machine wonders. Having that added motion that works in tandem with the feed dogs of the sewing machine really makes life a lot easier and far less complicated. I occasionally need to repair my denim jeans or my work pants, and the dense layers makes the machine struggle and bog down. The Even Feed Foot eliminates most of the struggles and really cleans up my work. I'm just a novice with the sewing machine, but my skills seriously borders on those of a beginner. I subscribed to your channel in the hope of learning a little bit more about my sewing machine. Very well planned and a very well thought out video demo and presentation, thank you. Oh, and I really love your beautiful eyes. Greetings from Homer Alaska.
Hello! So lovely that you have enjoyed this video. Wonderful to hear that you have the same sewing machine too. I use this machine in lots of my videos. I had 4 of them (still do) in the UK for my classes; they are great work horse machines. Happy to tackle pretty much every fabric! Wishing you all the best in Alaska. I hope you had a nice summer. I am currently living in the North of Australia, tropical weather so it’s hot all the time! Missing the colder weather.
Wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for your support. Your advice has helped me achieve 8 consecutive wins - a huge milestone for me. Your guidance has given me the confidence to keep pushing forward
Thanks for the great explanation on how to use a sewing machine! Learned so much. as I am a beginner. You are a good teacher! Please recomend a nice sewing machine for a daily home use. Thank you again and going to watch all your videos on how to learn to sew! 😉😉😊
I purchased an Emerald 116 sewing machine four years ago and was having problems with the stitches. In this class, I learned I was not threading the machine incorrectly. I forgot most of what I was taught in the class when I purchased my machine several years ago. Your class was exactly what I needed.
I've always wanted to learn how to sew, but never had the opportunity (they don't offer it in school anymore) or the time. Now with an open summer and quarantine, I am excited to have access to these videos and finally learn. Thank you so much, Aneka!
This is my first time viewing your videos and I am thrilled at how clear, precise and descriptive you are in your instructions! I am excited to begin this sewing journey with you along with me! Thanks for posting these.
Debbie Thomas Hi Debbie, thank you for your lovely comment. I am so pleased you like the videos and my style of teaching. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing journey, I am so pleased I have been able to help. Aneka x
I've been sewing since I was a young teenager and I'm now 62 and yet I've still learnt things from this video, thank you. As for the Gutermann thread, I've been using them for years and never clicked about the colours.
Thank you! Even though I am following the instructions to my manual closely, it is quite helpful to confirm that I’ve done each step correctly by watching you. I was about to become discouraged while trying to raise the bobbin thread! Again, thank you!
I bought a sewing machine a couple of years ago that I’ve barely used. Not confident as yet, so this is a great start, thank you! Love vintage style clothes, and I’d love to make my own dresses, skirts, bags, headscarves, etc! 😊
You are a blessing . I just bought a new sewing machine. The instructions on the manual showed me flames . Your video helped me from step 1. Thanks a lot
I learned to sew from 6th grade to 11th grade, but it's been decades since. I've always wanted to sew again, but never had the time. Now I've lost my sewing skills. Thank you for the refresher. So mamy memories. I subscribed!
Just bought my first machine with a vertical thread post. Thank you, this video saved me from having thread issues regarding stacked vs crossed threading.
My granpa was a tailor. Before WWII he traveled around the area to learn the craft oldschool way. It's sad that he passed away long before I was born, so all the experience and the legacy of his practice was lost. Thanks to my meemaw as a young boy 30 years ago I've learned some basic things with grandpa's old manual Singer machine. And today I feel that I want to connect with my grandpa by sewing. So I'm trying to learn everything from scratch. Thanks for your great advices!!!
All the cool things these newer machines have! I've got an old Singer 401A. I'm always in awe of what I see the new machines doing, they look so user friendly! Automatic tension and needle threading, touch screen displays that give you more options than you know what to do with. For beginners, I think the simple machines are easier and less daunting to use.
Hi Jenna, it is true sewing machines can be very fancy nowadays and you are correct that sometimes this is too much. The machine I use in these tutorials is a basic 'modern' machine, it isn't computerised and bar the needle threader nothing happens automatically. There are lots of positives to this, you can make the machine do what YOU want! Rather than working with a machine that thinks it knows more than you!! Your Singer sounds fab, I do most of my own work on an industrial machine so this is VERY basic too! Good luck with your sewing. Aneka x
Best sewing tutorial for beginners ever! I've never touched a sewing machine a day in my life, and I was fully engaged and aware throughout the whole segment. I may be able to do this. :)
This is fantastic , thank you! I thought I vaguely knew what I was doing but was getting increasingly frustrated when things didn’t work, it turns out I have been doing it wrong for a long time! I learnt a lot and I am sure this will improve my sucess rate...on to the next tutorial!
Miss, you're truly doing God's work out here! Very much appreciated. Also read that I'm not the only one doing this for mental health reasons.. Happy to discover this community 🙇🏼♂️🙏
So glad I found your channel. My mother used to make EVERYTHING for me but never took the time to learn and she went home to Heaven and now I’m lost. 😩 BUT, I AM DETERMINED to learn. I know she would be proud. Just subscribed 😊😊😊 And, going to keep it a surprise and show all my sewing sisters once I am able to make something on my own.
Such a lovely sorry Liz. Thanks so much for sharing. I am certain your mother would be proud, how lovely that you are following in her footsteps. I wish you all the best. Aneka x
I must say that this is one of the very best and most informative tutorials that I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so well with all of us.
I watched this video to get a better understanding of sewing basics in preparation for learning my new machine which is coming in soon. This video was very informative and easy to comprehend. I appreciate this, thank you! I aim to check out the rest of this series.
Just received a sewing machine as a gift however have absolutely no experience with operating one whatsoever !! Thank the Lord for your wonderful beginners tutorial !!! :) :) :) Have been viewing it over and over again and seem to be getting it !! :) :)
I just started teaching myself how to sew. My mom let me borrow her machine. I watched so many videos trying to figure it out to no avail. I was nearly in tears frustrated over this thing. Then I found your channel. You are so detailed and descriptive and it helped me tremendously. I sewed my first stitch on the machine today and yesterday I was ready to give up. Thank you for your amazing videos!
Thank you for such a lovely message Jennifer. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you on your sewing journey. Sorry that you had a tough time starting but hoping it’s onwards and upwards now! 🙏❤️
I am luckily given a sewing machine from my mother in law two years ago, I totally have no ideas how to use it. Recently we decided to renovate my boys' bedroom into space theme and I wish I can get some space, fabrics to make them some cushions for the reading nook. I found your channel and all of your videos are very useful, thank you so much for making such a great channel xx
Hi Maggie, thank you for your lovely words. I am so pleased that you have enjoyed my channel and videos and found them useful. Lovely to hear your sewing story... the space theme sounds amazing! Aneka xx
Learning to sew is what I'll be doing during this pandemic lockdown. I've got sew many projects to do that this pandemic could go on for years and still not run out of things to so.
Can not thank you enough for this! I was in a right pickle and at the verge of throwing the machine out the window. Now I’m sewing (with the help of magnifying glasses to thread the needle!)
+Natalie Casilli +Natalie Casilli Hi Natalie, what sewing machine do you have? Send me a picture on Facebook or email if you would like and I can see if I can help? All sewing machines are slightly different so it can be difficult if you don't have the manual. We have designed some tutorials that we thought teenager would like, but most of these are product based; Leather Bow Keyring: th-cam.com/video/OImgFmU_amI/w-d-xo.html, Appliqué Keyring: th-cam.com/video/rIVBzRMMYHk/w-d-xo.html, Clutch Bag: th-cam.com/video/_K0gtVfyV5E/w-d-xo.html - let me know your thoughts? Happy to help if I can with your sewing machine!
I thought you could buy them on Amazon.com but not any longer. However you can 'Find a Store' on the Husqvarna Viking website: www.husqvarnaviking.com/Find-a-Store, there seem to be a few in Pennsylvania. The machine I use in all of the videos is a Husqvarna Viking Emerald either the 116 or the 118 (which is slightly more expensive). The 118 has a different food pedal (which some people prefer), more stitches (that are probably not really required for the extra price). But the 188 does offer speed control which is great for beginners and a handy needle up and down function. See what you think, I guess you can visit a store and try one or search for the machine for an online seller? Unfortunately I am in the UK and can't force my browser to show me options in the US. Let me know how you get on and hope this helps! Aneka
+Kayleigh Cooper Thank you Kayleigh, I am so pleased that you have enjoyed the videos, thank you for your lovely comment and good luck with your sewing.
I have a sewing machine and admire the talent to sew (I have none). I was thinking of paying for a course but then thought...maybe (not the first time looking) there might be something free and educational on you tube. I’m 20 minutes into your video and am just thrilled to know how to properly place the spool. Like others, I’m thankful for this video.
Thank you so much I bought a sewing machine and I was very eager to learn , however I find later on I could not afford to go to expensives courses , plus dealing with some health issues does not allow me to be very flexible and catching buses and early classes ,I'm so glad I found you so now I can start learning .
+Nitu Mathew Bless you Nitu, thank you for your LOVELY message. I am so pleased you have found the series useful and informative. Thank you for your kind words they are greatly appreciated! I wish you all the best with your sewing. Anika x
Your tips are so helpful. I’m completely confident in making my own garments after watching this. Not sure if I’m alone in thinking this but shopping has become so frustrating the older I’ve gotten. I’m ready for custom made pieces.
I was top of my sewing class in school 12 years ago I’ve forgotten everything and wanted to get back into it like I did with my art and reading the comments on here saying how good and easy to understand these videos are are making me excited to get back into it !!!!
Thank you, very clear and precise video, no blurry or jerky camera shots. Wonderful..! If you ever have a spare moment in the day, the back seat of my Harley is available, and lunch is on me. Keep'em coming. Best regards.
Just want to make some beautiful gowns and dresses for myself, and hopefully others! Ive been really curious about sewing and everything related and this is a good way to go! Hopefully, I'm able to follow this one hobby, thank you ♡♡
Super! I love this channel. I would say along with a good sewing machine invest in a nice light. Friends recommended me the Lumiy Lightline LED lamp... stunningly bright so I can really see lots of detail, compact, and affordable.
Hi Andrea, thank you for your lovely message, that is so kind of you. Love your idea of the light (I will check it out) and thank you for the recommendation. I am sure others will find that useful too. Thank you! Aneka X
this is a really lovely video, not too slow, not too quick, very easy to understand. i'm picking up sewing again, used to in childhood. i'd forgotten i could pop the hand wheel out when winding the bobbin. anyone can benefit from this video. thank you!
I’ve had a Brother sewing machine for years, but I haven’t really used it. It has been sitting in the hallway closet but now I’d love how to sew. I have the machine so I might as well get some use out of it. 😊🌸

I'm starting a new business, and have never used a sewing machine in my life. Your video is so well done and explained, that I'm feeling confident in my ability to do this!
Wow, thank you very much. I am really pleased that you enjoyed the video and I wish you all the best with your new business. Lots of good luck! Aneka
+Made To Sew Thank you!
beijoslindos How are things going??
Trains
What kind of business did you start? How is it going? :)
I've not used a sewing machine since school in 1972 and have forgotten everything I learned. This is a great reminder to relearn everything. Thanks.
So pleased I could help. Good luck!
MUDU REKHA teacher has experienced since she was 13 years old.. more than 35 years now.. also teaches in youtube for free
I have just purchased a sewing machine for my daughter for her birthday. I know nothing about sewing and thought her and I could learn together. your tutorials are so easy to follow and understand!
Thank you Nicole for your lovely words. I am so pleased you have found them useful! I wish you and your daughter all the best on your sewing journey!
I'm going to learn to sew because my granddaughters clothes are too expensive and not cute enough, so I'm going to make them myself. Thank you for helping me
This is wonderful, so pleased. Aneka :-))
This is how I feel for me.
MUDU REKHA is a good teacher too
Did you learn how to sew??
I have been seeing for 50+ years and will be helping someone else to learn to use her machine. Your video is excellent! I know I have picked up shortcuts and maybe even some bad habits over the years, so you have helped me to prepare to teach the basics to someone with no experience. I believe that EVERYONE should be able to sew enough to accomplish some basic mending and alterations and have a basic machine at the ready. Knowing how to sew has been a tremendous blessing in my life and the lives of my family, and the ability to create clothing and other items to keep or gift to others is an empowering and creative experience. You are doing a great job and I am thoroughly enjoying your accent too!
Hi Susan, thank you so much for such a lovely review. I am so pleased that I am able to help or support you to teach others. Huge thank you. Aneka x

Oh boy.. this is a lot more complicated than I anticipated
Ikr 🤣
Keep at it dear, after all Rome wasn't built in a day.
I said the same thing. I give up
I know right?? 😰
Anything worth doing rarely is my friend.
Wow, I've never seen someone explain something with such clarity. It's so easy to follow. Great job. Thank you. I've picked this up as a new hobby. Can't wait to actually make something.
Oh I am so pleased you have learned something from this series of tutorials. Thank you for your lovely feedback and good luck with your new hobby!

Thank you for your excellent tutorials. At 56, male, and can do literally everything in the house including complex DIY, sewing and the sewing machine have eluded me. I hope I could master the basics before I turn 65 ! I have more confidence now with your help. Thank you again. Subscribed.
Thanks so much Paul. I am so pleased I have been able to help you. This is wonderful to hear. Aneka
Whats the point wasting ur time at 56
Life is basically over. Just relax.
I’m starting to sew at a young age and hopefully I become a very good designer in my early adulthood. ☺️
Thank you! 🙏
Lovely to hear, good luck. Aneka
I have really struggled to develop my sewing skills. Your beginner tutorial made it all make sense. I really appreciate all of your tutorials.
Thanks so much Lauren. Really pleased. Aneka x
Hello Lauren, how are you doing?
Best course ever. I knew nothing about machines or sewing but wanted learn, I can happily confidently use my machine.
THANK YOU
Thank you so much Chantel. So pleased. Aneka x
I absolutely love that these are videos for actual beginners. They don't assume I know anything at all (which indeed I don't), so I'm loving this. I had no idea about the thread or the needles or any of it, and I love that you're going through everything bit by bit. A lot of "beginner"-videos I see sort of assume you already know how to thread your machine, so I cannot stress enough how helpful these videos are. Sod the haters and keep at it. Oh and also, English isn't my first language, and while I am pretty much fluent, the spoken language can occasionally be hard to understand, but you are speaking clearly and are well articulated, so thank you for that too.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Kira. I am really pleased that you have enjoyed the beginners videos. Thanks VERY much. Aneka x
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Beginner here! I have struck gold with this site! I purchased Viking Emerald 116 a couple of years ago and have been struggling to get information. This is hands down the best, most detailed, easy to follow instructions I have come across!
Hi Robin :) Thank you for your lovely comment and words. I am so glad you found my tutorial useful and easy to follow. There will be lots more coming soon! Aneka x
👍👍👍👍👍👍I am self taught with my machine an sewing classes are so expensive. Thank you so much for these lessons 😀

Made to Sew Thank You very much! Just got my first new sewing machine in 30 years and this tutorial will help me to fill the bobbin and know how to begin sewing with my new Brother "Project Runway" machine. Technology sure has improved! Peace and Health to all who enjoy sewing out there! Great fun!
Really pleased you enjoyed the tutorials Helen. I wish you all the best with your sewing & new sewing machine. Thank you for posting such a nice comment. Aneka

Hello
Hello, how are you doing my friend
I'm here in September, 2024. Thank you for this opportunity. I have always wanted to learn how to sew but being a single mum with 4 children really took some of my dream. My last son just got into college. So, I think it's time I live my dream. I can't wait to start sewing 😊😊😊
I have been using this machine for about a month now. just found the thread cutter, first time managed to use the auto threader. easy as. I come back to your videos to guide me. the original 1923 singer sewing machine. i learned on. also had a thread cutter. the new machine. all machines. good to know i remembered the basics. I only just found the button to push that raises the feeder plate. You dont mess about. Your Channel is a great comfort. Thankyou. I love seeing everyone's creations on Facebook. so much talent. Thankyou for sharing x
Thank you Phyllis, really pleased I can help you when you need it. Thank you for your kind words. Aneka x
I lack the words... but thanking you surpasses them all. I pray your generosity opens greater doors for you. Amen!
I want to start my own business and I was going to pay for a class to learn how to sew but I thought I should start with these free courses online first before going to them. I just want to thank you so much for this free course!! I am so grateful!!
So pleased I could help. I wish you all the best starting your business. x
HunniCoco -. Good for you!!!! Best of luck.
I was searching for a very good channel to teach me and give me advice in sewing. Nice voice, nice personality, plain explanation, understandable English … I found all I was searching for, thank you a lot!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very pleased that you have enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy sewing.
I recently acquired a Husqvarna Viking Scandinavia 200 and know nothing about it. I'm more comfortable working with my Husqvarna Forest Axe than a sewing machine and so I turned to TH-cam for some basic instructions. I appreciate the introductory lesson and look forward to learning more. All the best. -Tripp
Hi Tripp, I am really pleased that you are enjoying the videos! I hope you feel more comfortable with your sewing machine after watching them. I wish you all the best with your sewing, good luck! Aneka
I haven't sewn (on a machine) in over 35 years. I just bought a new machine (baby lock brilliant) which is by far different from my Mom's old singer i used when i was 16. Figured i should start with the basics. I watched several other videos but this one by far was the most useful to me. Between this video and my new machine's manual i was able to use my machine within minutes and with more confidence than previous tries over the years. I truly can't thank you enough for doing this video! THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for such a lovely message Candy! Thank you and good luck with your new machine. Aneka x
Omg... these tutorial videos are absolutely the best for all newbies. Now I know how to sow in a machine, finally. After many years of putting it in back burner, bcz I just didn't spare the time and was afraid of spending the $ on a machine and possibly not going through with it, I did it. These videos are extremely detailed and at a good speed for someone like me, who knew nothing about sowing. My machine is Singer so slightly different in only a couple of things, but with the manual at hand and these videos, wow, im just beyond words. Im so thankful for your videos. They are professional, clear, detailed they are the most helpful I found.
I just got my Emerald 118 and this will be the first time on sweing. I've loved your tutorial and the way you explain and position the camera. Lucky me having met you in TH-cam. Thanks a lot!!
Hi Mary, wow thank you so much for your lovely words. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you in some small way. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing machine. Aneka x
Hi Mary
Thank you for this video! I'm a crocheter but getting bored with it so now I want to learn to sew. Again THANK YOU☺
This is so exciting. Good luck!
Omg savana that is me!!!!!!!!! Im getting machine tomorrow
Same. I found a singer one at the thrift store fingers crossed i feel lost.
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
I am enjoying watching your video. Although I'm no beginner, it never hurts to watch and to have a refresher course now and again. It helps me to relearn and to do a recap on the things I already know.
Incidentally, I especially enjoyed this first video for a special reason. I own and use the exact same model sewing machine as you used here, the Husqvarna Viking, Emerald 116. These are true mechanical sewing machines, which is exactly what I need. Moreover, these are real workhorse sewing machines with plenty of power to spare.
I found early on that if I am sewing thick or heavyweight fabrics, owning and using an even feed walking foot really does the machine wonders. Having that added motion that works in tandem with the feed dogs of the sewing machine really makes life a lot easier and far less complicated. I occasionally need to repair my denim jeans or my work pants, and the dense layers makes the machine struggle and bog down. The Even Feed Foot eliminates most of the struggles and really cleans up my work.
I'm just a novice with the sewing machine, but my skills seriously borders on those of a beginner. I subscribed to your channel in the hope of learning a little bit more about my sewing machine. Very well planned and a very well thought out video demo and presentation, thank you. Oh, and I really love your beautiful eyes. Greetings from Homer Alaska.
Hello! So lovely that you have enjoyed this video. Wonderful to hear that you have the same sewing machine too. I use this machine in lots of my videos. I had 4 of them (still do) in the UK for my classes; they are great work horse machines. Happy to tackle pretty much every fabric!
Wishing you all the best in Alaska. I hope you had a nice summer. I am currently living in the North of Australia, tropical weather so it’s hot all the time! Missing the colder weather.
Wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for your support. Your advice has helped me achieve 8 consecutive wins - a huge milestone for me. Your guidance has given me the confidence to keep pushing forward
Thanks for the great explanation on how to use a sewing machine! Learned so much. as I am a beginner. You are a good teacher! Please recomend a nice sewing machine for a daily home use. Thank you again and going to watch all your videos on how to learn to sew! 😉😉😊
I purchased an Emerald 116 sewing machine four years ago and was having problems with the stitches. In this class, I learned I was not threading the machine incorrectly. I forgot most of what I was taught in the class when I purchased my machine several years ago. Your class was exactly what I needed.
I am so pleased I could help Cleo. They are great machines; my original one is over 10 years old now! 🤩
I've always wanted to learn how to sew, but never had the opportunity (they don't offer it in school anymore) or the time. Now with an open summer and quarantine, I am excited to have access to these videos and finally learn. Thank you so much, Aneka!
So pleased I could help Alaa. Thank you. Aneka x
Hello, how are you doing my friend
This is my first time viewing your videos and I am thrilled at how clear, precise and descriptive you are in your instructions! I am excited to begin this sewing journey with you along with me! Thanks for posting these.
Debbie Thomas Hi Debbie, thank you for your lovely comment. I am so pleased you like the videos and my style of teaching. Wishing you all the best with your new sewing journey, I am so pleased I have been able to help. Aneka x
Hello, how are you doing my friend
I've been sewing since I was a young teenager and I'm now 62 and yet I've still learnt things from this video, thank you. As for the Gutermann thread, I've been using them for years and never clicked about the colours.
I have just unboxed my Viking Husqvarna Emerald 118 machine. First time ever touching a sewing machine but I am absolutely excited. New hobby.
Amazing news! Good luck.
I've just watched the whole 5 day course and learned so, so much. Thanks for this series.
Thanks so much Grace. Glad you enjoyed it and learned lots. ❤️
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Thank you! Even though I am following the instructions to my manual closely, it is quite helpful to confirm that I’ve done each step correctly by watching you. I was about to become discouraged while trying to raise the bobbin thread! Again, thank you!
So pleased Adrienne. Thank you. Aneka x
I bought a sewing machine a couple of years ago that I’ve barely used. Not confident as yet, so this is a great start, thank you! Love vintage style clothes, and I’d love to make my own dresses, skirts, bags, headscarves, etc! 😊
So pleased I could help. Good luck on your journey. ❤️
Hello Karene
You are a blessing . I just bought a new sewing machine. The instructions on the manual showed me flames . Your video helped me from step 1. Thanks a lot
Aaw thank you. I'm so pleased that the video helped, and you can now enjoy using your new machine.
I learned to sew from 6th grade to 11th grade, but it's been decades since. I've always wanted to sew again, but never had the time. Now I've lost my sewing skills. Thank you for the refresher. So mamy memories. I subscribed!
What a fantastic resource - free - excellent course. If you want to learn to sew, this covers all of the basics. Many thanks 😊
You're very welcome!
This was a great refresher after learning the basics in high school many years ago. Great pace and clear instructions, thank you!
Thanks Ellen. Really pleased I could help. Aneka :-))
Hello Ellen
Just bought my first machine with a vertical thread post. Thank you, this video saved me from having thread issues regarding stacked vs crossed threading.
Really pleased I could help.
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
My granpa was a tailor. Before WWII he traveled around the area to learn the craft oldschool way. It's sad that he passed away long before I was born, so all the experience and the legacy of his practice was lost. Thanks to my meemaw as a young boy 30 years ago I've learned some basic things with grandpa's old manual Singer machine. And today I feel that I want to connect with my grandpa by sewing. So I'm trying to learn everything from scratch. Thanks for your great advices!!!
This is so lovely to hear, your granpa sounds amazing. Glad you are following in his footsteps now.
All the cool things these newer machines have! I've got an old Singer 401A. I'm always in awe of what I see the new machines doing, they look so user friendly! Automatic tension and needle threading, touch screen displays that give you more options than you know what to do with. For beginners, I think the simple machines are easier and less daunting to use.
Hi Jenna, it is true sewing machines can be very fancy nowadays and you are correct that sometimes this is too much. The machine I use in these tutorials is a basic 'modern' machine, it isn't computerised and bar the needle threader nothing happens automatically. There are lots of positives to this, you can make the machine do what YOU want! Rather than working with a machine that thinks it knows more than you!! Your Singer sounds fab, I do most of my own work on an industrial machine so this is VERY basic too! Good luck with your sewing. Aneka x
Best sewing tutorial for beginners ever! I've never touched a sewing machine a day in my life, and I was fully engaged and aware throughout the whole segment. I may be able to do this. :)
Thank you so much Amerie, really pleased you like it. Aneka x
This comment just made me confidant. Thank you.... I cant wait to Begin!!!!! ;-)
This is fantastic , thank you! I thought I vaguely knew what I was doing but was getting increasingly frustrated when things didn’t work, it turns out I have been doing it wrong for a long time! I learnt a lot and I am sure this will improve my sucess rate...on to the next tutorial!
Thanks so much Emma. Really pleased that I could help with the issues you were having. Aneka x

I just started teaching myself how to sew. My mom let me borrow her machine. I watched so many videos trying to figure it out to no avail. I was nearly in tears frustrated over this thing. Then I found your channel. You are so detailed and descriptive and it helped me tremendously. I sewed my first stitch on the machine today and yesterday I was ready to give up. Thank you for your amazing videos!
Thank you for such a lovely message Jennifer. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you on your sewing journey. Sorry that you had a tough time starting but hoping it’s onwards and upwards now! 🙏❤️
I am luckily given a sewing machine from my mother in law two years ago, I totally have no ideas how to use it. Recently we decided to renovate my boys' bedroom into space theme and I wish I can get some space, fabrics to make them some cushions for the reading nook. I found your channel and all of your videos are very useful, thank you so much for making such a great channel xx
Hi Maggie, thank you for your lovely words. I am so pleased that you have enjoyed my channel and videos and found them useful. Lovely to hear your sewing story... the space theme sounds amazing! Aneka xx

Can not thank you enough for this! I was in a right pickle and at the verge of throwing the machine out the window. Now I’m sewing (with the help of magnifying glasses to thread the needle!)
So pleased Michelle. Good luck with the needle threading! :-))
+Natalie Casilli +Natalie Casilli Hi Natalie, what sewing machine do you have? Send me a picture on Facebook or email if you would like and I can see if I can help? All sewing machines are slightly different so it can be difficult if you don't have the manual. We have designed some tutorials that we thought teenager would like, but most of these are product based; Leather Bow Keyring: th-cam.com/video/OImgFmU_amI/w-d-xo.html, Appliqué Keyring: th-cam.com/video/rIVBzRMMYHk/w-d-xo.html, Clutch Bag: th-cam.com/video/_K0gtVfyV5E/w-d-xo.html - let me know your thoughts? Happy to help if I can with your sewing machine!
+Made To Sew your welcome ! I am located in pennsylvania .
I thought you could buy them on Amazon.com but not any longer. However you can 'Find a Store' on the Husqvarna Viking website: www.husqvarnaviking.com/Find-a-Store, there seem to be a few in Pennsylvania. The machine I use in all of the videos is a Husqvarna Viking Emerald either the 116 or the 118 (which is slightly more expensive). The 118 has a different food pedal (which some people prefer), more stitches (that are probably not really required for the extra price). But the 188 does offer speed control which is great for beginners and a handy needle up and down function. See what you think, I guess you can visit a store and try one or search for the machine for an online seller? Unfortunately I am in the UK and can't force my browser to show me options in the US. Let me know how you get on and hope this helps! Aneka
+Kayleigh Cooper Thank you Kayleigh, I am so pleased that you have enjoyed the videos, thank you for your lovely comment and good luck with your sewing.

How much mashine
I have a sewing machine and admire the talent to sew (I have none). I was thinking of paying for a course but then thought...maybe (not the first time looking) there might be something free and educational on you tube. I’m 20 minutes into your video and am just thrilled to know how to properly place the spool. Like others, I’m thankful for this video.
Thanks so much Gia. Really pleased I could help. Aneka
Thank you so much I bought a sewing machine and I was very eager to learn , however I find later on I could not afford to go to expensives courses , plus dealing with some health issues does not allow me to be very flexible and catching buses and early classes ,I'm so glad I found you so now I can start learning .
Lovely to meet you here Elizabeth, and pleased that I can help you on this journey. Best, Aneka x

Your tips are so helpful. I’m completely confident in making my own garments after watching this. Not sure if I’m alone in thinking this but shopping has become so frustrating the older I’ve gotten. I’m ready for custom made pieces.
So pleased I could help. Thank you so much and good luck! Aneka x
Man, I thought I knew these basic things, but I learned a lot from this video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I was top of my sewing class in school 12 years ago I’ve forgotten everything and wanted to get back into it like I did with my art and reading the comments on here saying how good and easy to understand these videos are are making me excited to get back into it !!!!
So pleased Rory. I am sure you will get back into it easily. You just need a little reminder. Good luck. Aneka
Thank you, very clear and precise video, no blurry or jerky camera shots. Wonderful..! If you ever have a spare moment in the day, the back seat of my Harley is available, and lunch is on me. Keep'em coming. Best regards.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking it slowly and step by step this has been very helpful to me!
Thanks Paul, glad I could help.
Just want to make some beautiful gowns and dresses for myself, and hopefully others! Ive been really curious about sewing and everything related and this is a good way to go! Hopefully, I'm able to follow this one hobby, thank you ♡♡
Wonderful!
Super! I love this channel. I would say along with a good sewing machine invest in a nice light. Friends recommended me the Lumiy Lightline LED lamp... stunningly bright so I can really see lots of detail, compact, and affordable.
Hi Andrea, thank you for your lovely message, that is so kind of you. Love your idea of the light (I will check it out) and thank you for the recommendation. I am sure others will find that useful too. Thank you! Aneka X
this is a really lovely video, not too slow, not too quick, very easy to understand. i'm picking up sewing again, used to in childhood. i'd forgotten i could pop the hand wheel out when winding the bobbin. anyone can benefit from this video. thank you!
This tutorial has been helpful. I like the simplicity with which you explain the various steps. Love from Uganda.
Thank you for your kind words Jeremy, I'm pleased that it is helpful. And I love reading that you are using it in Uganda.
I’ve had a Brother sewing machine for years, but I haven’t really used it. It has been sitting in the hallway closet but now I’d love how to sew. I have the machine so I might as well get some use out of it. 😊🌸
Great news Isabella, really pleased I could help. Good Luck. Aneka x
