You breezed so fast through those tension issues at the beginning - you didn't show if the stitches were different at the different tensions
I agree Patricia; I wanted her to explain about the tension spring in bobbin area; my bobbin is jumping and clunking; and the bottom stitching is really tight! So can anyone help with this plz?
Would’ve been SOOOOO helpful
Agreed. I need to see a slow close up of what those look like!!!
I need to see exactly how Angrla’s three dials are set..I am going crazy!
@@jillsmith5687 how do I fix the tension in my bobbin thread
For me, it was a loosely threaded bobbin. I just put a new bobbin on the winder, and re-wound to the new bobbin. Fixed my tenstion problem. I do appreciate how the tension adjustment was shown - I had no clue! This is a good troubleshooting video, thanks!
Thank you for watching Charlie and we are glad that you found the video helpful!
The tension knob!!!!!! Thank you for your help!
This 1000% did not touch on ANY of the issues I'm experiencing! 🤦🏻♀️

Had an issue with my FS101, was getting bird nests underneath each sewing start, for about 1 to 2cm birdnesting. Studied TH-cam videos for hours and tried everything, nothing solved the nesting. New needles, new and different thread, new threading, cleaning, nothing solved the birdnesting at the beginning of each sewing. Saw nothing wrong on the bobbins or the bobbin casing. Ordered by coincidence recently 2 spare bobbin cases. Gave it a try and changed the bobbin case and voila, no more bird nests at all. Even so I could not tell what was wrong on the "old" bobbin case, the replacement of the bobbin case was the solution to the problem. Just in case, as this is not mentioned as possible troubleshoot solution ;)
god bless you and your crops
I was getting so frustrated. Thank you so much, it totally fixed my problem with the nest!
What fixture problem? I couldn't follow the video.
Girl I could hug you!!!!!!!! You're a total life savor! I was sooooo sick of this sewing s--t! I came close to throwing it in the dumpster along with my expensive fabric. Couldn't figure anything out. It wouldn't feed through, and I had to pull it! You're knowledge has me on the road to a gorgeous little quilt, and I thank you so much! My husband thanks you even more 'cause now he doesn't have to hear me whining about it!
thanks Karen :) Happy sewing!
me too!
I followed the troubleshooting FAQ on Brother and watched this vid - which basically summarizes those FAQs. I am a good engineer and this Brother CS7000i has NEVER stitched anything without leaving a nasty bunched up mess on the underside. The top looks fine. However, even when I have a long stitch. It will start with a little bunch or hang. Then, I can continue for a couple of inches where it looks great and then randomly the last two inches are a rats nest. Fortunately, it is mostly when I am repairing my old work jeans. That material is 9 ounce twill and I am backing up the rips and holes with one of those (pathetic) iron patches that never iron on. So, I am doing only straight stiches with the correct default foot. Medium duty pure cotton twill thread on the needle and bobbin sides. Not one thing other than all default settings. Tension set between 1 and 2. Hand start and hand tack beginning and end (using the wheel, not the foot pedal). You can conact me here with any bright ideas!
We are sorry to hear that your CS7000i is not sewing correctly. Please see the links below for more informaton:

Hi @allanbruce9473 - did your machine continue bothering you or was there any "cure"?
You might want to show the tension samples for more than a split second.
Thank you so much! My dog ran through the cord that was stretched over to the outlet and my sewing machine flew through the air and broke apart on the floor. I got error code e6 so found your video. My sewing machine is working again! Thank you! My son just got interested in sewing and I was so upset that my machine got broken.
Thank you for watching and we are glad to know that your machine is working!

Hi
I find the lighting on my Brother GS3710 is not great, how do I change the globe to get better light. Thankyou!
How do you fix the internal threading spring in position #3 on the Brother inovis 1750 d sewing machine? I can stitch about 15 stitches, then the spring sticks and I get an error message to check and rethread upper thread. Upper thread is fine, it's a problem with this spring that is supposed to go up and down with EVERY stitch, but doesn't. Thanks!
Good rips. Thanks.
I appreciate , very informative, thank you, learn alot.
Thank you for watching! We are glad that the information was helpful.
Thanks so much! I have a question and hopefully anyone can answer. When I back stitch, the thread from the bobbin get undone and I see loops through the top.
Thank you so much for sharing
@@BrotherSews I’m new to sewing. I’m going to try changing the needle. Wish me luck hehe. Another question, do you suggest to only use Brother bobbins? My husband bought me some bobbins to surprise me but they are Walmart brand, haven’t sued them just to be safe. Thanks in advance
@@legacycosmo I’m sure you’ve had a reply but if the bobbin fits into the bobbin spot, they’ll be fine. I have some that won’t fit on the spindle….? Whats that about?
I’m brand new to sewing. What my wheel thing on the right doesn’t turn enough to have the notches line up? I keep getting a majorly grinding noise, have been checking for lose threads in the bobbin area, etc, but no luck. I’m borrowing the machine from our local library and it’s a Brother CS-6000i. I’m afraid that I am somehow damaging the machine.
The knob for stitch selection has broken off is there any repairs available or is if some thing that cannot befixed
i have a SE 400 brother sewing and embroidery machine but the needle locked up is that a safety thing or what caused that i can’t get it to work
Hi,
I have brother sewing machine Ls-2125. Once I was sewing my dress. On my dress has a thicker embroidery when I started sewing the thread was broken. I also changed needles & different types of foot and stitches number. Can you tell me please problem.
Hello on the pot that you cut your thread does that part come off I have thread Stuck in number four when I’m threading the machine does the side piece come off the one that cuts the thread
do you know how to fix the error f05 speed sensor on a se400 machine?
my gx37 arrived a couple of hours ago. i watched 2 videos about the exact machine and did everything according to the videos. i am a master threader now both lower bobbin and the main thread. buuut my machine just wont sew. i hear the motor whirring but nothing moves. i checked the manual, the troubleshooting section. made sure the bobbin winder shaft is on the left. tried 3 different power outlets. nothing. i rethreaded the machine 3-4 times. it worked like 1 second when i first tried it. then nothing will make it work again. also again after that first time, the needle threader wont reach the needle anymore. when i pull it down and push it forward, the walls of the needle threader is short a couple of millimeters behind the needle.
Great tips but I have an issue that I can't figure out. I set the machine for a simple zigzag stitch and after I sew about an inch the length dial automatically rotates backwards to "0". What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much ❤
Thanks , it helped
My brother xr9000 has F1 error. There is no authorized service center in my country. Any help in how to fix this??
It was definitely the tension that was messing me up 😩 my first time quilting and I’m using the walking foot. The bottom thread would just be a mess in the back and I was getting so frustrated why it wasn’t working. I checked everything from bobbin to replacing the needles. You said it might be tension and I put it up a bit higher and it came out perfect on the back!! If you’re using a walking door defiantly put it up around 4-5
Thank you for watching! We are glad that you were able to resolve the issue so that your stitches look great on the front and back of your quilt.
Hello I have a ae1700 brother sewing machine the hand wheel is steff please tell me what to do

@@BrotherSews Alright. Thank you so much.
@@BrotherSews I just clicked the link you sent and discovered I've done that few months ago. I found some contacts here in Nigeria. But after relating the issue with them. They suggested that I buy a new sewing machine instead of spending so much to fix the bad one. Even though they didn't tell me the cost of fixing it.
Am really disturbed about this situation.
Thankyou...You saved me from going to the service center 🙏
We are glad to know that this video was helpful! Thank you for watching Irene!
My GS2700 always making some bad understich, like the upper is neat but the under is Curly(?) nest or hanging , i've tried all the thing on the video but all is fail i still got the curly stich. Oh i'm sewing some cotton twill not that thick.
My machine is 6 wks old and now wont zig zag or other stitches. It will do straight but makes a loud knocking noise. I cant return it. Whats up? I've rethreaded it, replaced the needle and cleaned it.
If you please please tell me how I solve mypronlem it is my lower part of the cloth are coming out with huge tangle thread,how to solve?

My Brother JX2517 is having an issue for the first time since I bought it in 2017. As I’m ready to push the pedal to sew, the needle doesn’t move but I hear the machine or the machine’s gears inside trying to work or move. So I try to push and let go and push the pedal and then maybe after 10 times of doing this, it starts to sew but very slow then go fast after many stitches. Then when I stop after minutes, it goes back to the same problem again. Please let me know how to fix this? Thank you!
I am facing the same problem the needle does not move at all
Hello !
I have a Brother PS-2500. The pattern selector dial rotates all the way back and forth but the pattern does not change. It’s stack on 4/22 position on the display window.
Any way you could help me to fix this ? I called a service technician but the cost of checking the machine and fixing it is higher than buying a new machine. I love m’y existing machine and I have a sentimental attachment to it since it was my mother’s machine.
Thank you to anyone seeing this post and helping me to fix this.
It is frustrating when a machine is not working properly. We are sorry to hear that your pattern dial is not changing. We recommend you contact one of our Brother Authorized Service Centers for further assistance and to have your Brother PS2500 evaluated.

PSA: Avoid brother machines, especially economy class (SE600 etc). They are garbage. The machines are so finicky. I've had it nest at random and jam up. I can't get through 1 pattern without any trouble, like ever. I find that I have to reinsert the bobbin, but before cutting it, i have to violently tug it through, only then will the bottom thread stop showing on top or the top thread nesting below. Slowly it deteriorates and I have to keep reseating it. Forget tension dials, they don't work, period. 1 - 9, all the same result. Hate this crap!
I tend to agree. I’ve had 2 brothers that give me constant issues. I need suggestions on what brand to buy.
I had a Pfaff , I bought in 1995. Used it without any problem more than 25 years. Then last year purchased a Brother in replacement to my Pfaff..no comparison, already having troubles with simple tasks and sewing properly with this machine.
Pfaff is the best.
Me too. They are garbage.@@Kaptiv8edme
@@Kaptiv8edmealso tell me 😊
I bought this exact machine last week it’s awful I usually love brother machines but mine is so noisy & vibrates badly I’ve asked seller if I can send it back as it’s definitely not right & as I see everyday I’ve had to buy another machine I’ve going back to the brother ls 14 which in my opinion is the best I’ve had 3 now & wanted an upgrade but this is definitely a down grade
Confusing. It seemed like you were trying to get through the video as fast as you could. It's not a useful video for beginners.
Any suggestions? I am trying to do zigzag, and it looks like a ladder stich on the front, and zigzag on the back. I have re-threaded the machine and bobbin, changed tension, and I am not sure how to fix it. I have a CS-6000I

Also make sure your pressure foot is in the up position.
What if it only catches one stitch and the needke slips out of the needle?
Hi: I'm not sure how to fix my presser foot. When I lower the lever, the foot snaps down with a lot of force, and feels like it is permanently stuck at the highest tension. Do you have any tips, or is the machine unfixable?
I know this is late, but there should be a dial or knob to turn to reduce the pressure of your presser foot. Check the manual for that, or look online.
What can I do to use brother sewing machine from the US that has 110v input in 220v mains?
We do not recommend using US models outside of the US, as they are manufactured for 120v use. Performance may vary between transformer manufacturers and as such we cannot guarantee results. I would recommend using the Brother Global locator to find a Brother facility nearest you, to purchase a machine manufactured for the voltage specifications for your area:

I have an issue it was working fine.. I was foinf a project simple straight stitching. it worked all day... Then I took my foot off the "the foot" to get another piece of material and it won't go... Nothing it just stopped... no bobbin problem... the light is on... you press the foot nothing happens the motor won't go is it the foot dead or the whole machine??? I'm baffled... it was working perfect and just stopped... can you help?? tyia
@@BrotherSews ty for such a prompt response. I called it may or may not be the foot pedal. Unfortunately, there's no dealer near me and I don't have a credit card for online purchases.. or anything left to spend after all the the others supplies I needed to do this project... it's.the end of my sewing road. Your customer service is remarkable just heartbreaking as it was keeping me busy and creating in these troubled times... It's just baffling I did over 10 yards in a straight run of mini "snip-it rolls" not one hiccup... took my foot off the the pedal and she went on strike... lights goes on and no one is home... thank you again to you and the brother team take care
My thread keeps coming out of the needle thread guide. How do I fix this?
Are you holding onto both of the threads at the back, when you start to sew? That will help.
My is Bobby problem that make it difficult to be used
She does stitches with little then a lot of tension but them doesn't SHOW you what they look like! My problem: I sewed fine 2 days ago. I didn't change the thread or anything. Now I just went to use it & the first couple of stitched made noise. Well when I manually & slowly moved the needle down (it is in the left position) it is banging into something below. You can see at that time that the needle is 'bending' a bit to the right. If it were to go straight down it surely would break. WHAT is the issue? Also I haven't been able to use the auto threader. To get the needle into the hook, I must push the needle by hand to the left to get in. But I still can't use it because the threader bar does not go low enough to line up behind the eye of the needle. Can this be adjusted somehow?
I forgot to mention, my machine is a cs6000i
Ok so I found that I had the bobbin thread facing the wrong way. WOW, who would think that other than having a crappy stitch that the needle would hit the plate below just from having a thread wrong way? Now I get an E6 error! For some reason now the auto threader lines up right. I tried about 30 times & got the thread to go through only once.
OMG you probably don't remember commenting this, but you totally solved my problem when this video couldn't 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I was going nuts trying to fix everything but it was just backwards bobbin thread LOL

So what’s the reason for the tread pulled and gathered in a nasty nest under the needle plate and even the fabric being eaten down there as well ? You just showed us how to remove the mess but how do I stop it from keeping happening? It’s happening all the time that I want to throw my new machine in the garbage 😭
i took my brotherst531hd to the shop for a timing adjustment and was told they are disposable machines that cannot be accessed to do internal maintenance or work on the timing gears. wtaf?!!!!!
