      Lol it felt like a TH-cam tutorial from someone who had just watched a TH-cam tutorial on how to use a sewing machine. Tbh though it’s kind of what I wanted - a quick spin around the machine. I don’t need to know the names, just need to know without any precision which hook things the thread needs to go through.

    I laughed when you were talking about not adjusting the upper thread tension. You're spot on man, I don't adjust mine that much either and often doesn't make a huge difference. Solid job!

    No its hard for you when you threat but is because you miss one part
    Right before getting to the needle
    Theres is something above the neddle where you also need to slide you theat
    Thats why you have a hard time.

    The bobbin has to be put in so it moves counter clockwise and there is a piece ubove the neddle were the thread goes through before you thread the needle

    • @pukwudjivc
      @pukwudjivc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I was going to say that too. There is a thread guide he missed before threading the needle. He also missed the thread cutter on the bobbin thread channel, and he didn't mention the difference between bobbin winding and normal use on the thread guide on top of the machine. Finally, the tension for the top thread dictates whether the top thread gets pulled to the bottom, the bottom thread gets pulled to the top, or you have even top and bottom stitches. Look for a video on adjusting thread tension on sewing machine. He obviously didn't watch the DVD that came with the machine that is way better than what he did. I don't even know why this video exists as it is just an incomplete version of the video that came with the machine.
