I'm COOKED if all the people saying this is the best video they've seen are right....cuz this made no sense. I'm more clueless than I was before I watch this
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!
@@GentStyle well it changes the tension of the stitch but most of the garments I work with are the same, I only change it if I'm working with thicker stuff like denim. BTW what a time to be alive. To brothas talking about sewing machines instead of Lebron James and our love for strawberry lemonade 😅😅😅
@@GentStyle That tension setting knob is the most important part of sowing machines stich quality. If either upper or lower thread is loose, stiches will come apart after some time.
This video has helped me a lot! I am starting to work on historical costuming for my own pleasure and i had forgotten how to work a sewing machine (i had not used one since i was in middle school) and now i am rolling with my own as easy as breathing. Thank you ♡
Great introduction to the sewing machine Robert. It can be intimidating at first but with practice, it can be a real money saver! I'm still learning to use mine.
Thank you for the great refresher! It's been years since I've used a sewing machine, and I'm prepping for a new project. I love your approach to making videos. You're funny and knowledgeable at the same time. Thank you!!!
I have a different but very similar Brother Sewing machine, so I need to adjust a few things but this is the best video I’ve seen! Sir, I’ve been struggling with my machine for 2 days now and you’re a life saver!
I found your channel looking for reviews on this machine so that I can tailor my own clothing. This video is perfect, I placed an order for the gray one. Can’t wait to get started.
Great video! I'm considering buying one but have always been intimidated by the complexity of threading the dang thing. This is the 3rd Brother XM 1010 sewing machine video I've watched and yours is, by far, the best. Kudos!
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.
Thanks man. I've always been intrigued by sewing machines. Mum used to have one and now, thanks to you, I know how to thread one up and get it happening. Thank you!
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
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.
I just happened to have a different model of this sewing machine and I don’t know exactly how to use it but this is definitely a good way to figure out!
Hi, just bought the machine and I am very new in sewing. Can't manage the speed of this machine. Is there any option or technique to lower the speed for the beginners like I m. Thanks a lot
Make sure you have the machine threaded correctly. If the thread isn’t ran through the proper places on the machine, it will cause it to bunch when sewing.
Are you using a different sewing foot than the zig zag that came with the machine? i just purchased the clear brother one bc I was having issues getting the straight stitch to work on the default one.
@@georgemanlol3028 the overwhelming number of comments and likes on this video. This sewing machine has numerous images on it to show how to wind the thread.
I am sorry, Ive never used a sewing machine in my life and my aunt bought this for me to learn but you lost me on this. I got the thread through the needle but what do you do with the rest of the thread that came out the other side?
Not enough detail. Skipped some steps. It was shown where to put the thread, and then where elsewhere to put it, without having shown prior to where the thread went.
@@GentStyle Thank you for quick response. 🙏。 I just watched another video that showed step by step for those. Though now when I stepped on the pedal , I only heard the sound, but no action. Not sure why it didn’t work. It is an old machine bought from Montgomery Ward I used only once 10+years ago..
If you click the video then u see a cog. Click the cog and you can turn down the speed of the video. Hope that helps. You can also bring up subtitles here
Horrible video. Instructions were unclear and talk more specifically. Please have your camera focusing on what your trying to teach and not blur, as well as slower movements because we are not as skilled as your are.

I’ve been searching for a while and you just made a HDHD gal like me actually get the machine. Thank you😊
You should get one!
Bro. I haven’t sewn in years. Had a sewing project come up and I feel like I have to learn it all again. There’s so many little details.
Thank you a bunch!! I was starting to sew a costume for my sister and got a sewing machine because I usually always need one and now I can do that!!
Sweet!

This is really good bro. I’m about to start learning to sew myself. I don’t want to pay all that money for a tailor. Please keep the videos coming!
Very thorough explanation. Thank you 😊
I can finally stitch because of u I owe u🎉🎉🎉❤

I always wanted to learn. I m gonna try buy a used sewing machine n give my self a try to it. Thanks for this.
the best explanatory video I've seen! thank you
No problem! Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Short and sweet. I like your energy.
Thanks!
Very straightforward. Thanks for sharing
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.
Thank you so much! Very straight forward and not intimidating! Absolutely I subscribed:)
wow!! best video on here its straight to the point and clear thank you man :)
Glad you like it!
Great video, thank you! Some feedback though if you're showing parts to a machine just try and maybe get a better angle but overall very good.
Thanks Robert! If "image is everything", it's going to take me a lot of practice to work on my image 😂😂
@@Spance-er you got this!
When setting up, the thread needs to go behind the little catch above the needle
Also, never turn the needle backwards. Only towards you
Would it break turning it backwards?

Do all or most sewing machines come with a DVD?
How do you change the bulb in the sewing machine compartment.
@@CharleanGriffin I’d google it
Awesome, thank you. I am a beginner
You got this!
This is an amazing instruction video. Keep it up
I just happened to have a different model of this sewing machine and I don’t know exactly how to use it but this is definitely a good way to figure out!
Glad it helps!
Every time I sew it will either skip stitch like it’s not sewing and Idk if I’m not picking up the thread right or sum
Make sure you have the thread going through the proper channels.
Try moving your tension of the thread.....usually 3-5 is best
I have this same machine and I’m having the same issue
How do you know which pattern selection stitch types are for heavy cloth, compared to lighter cloth?
question: do you have to do this all the time when you have a different thread?
this was super helpful - thank you so much!
So what’s the bobbin for
Hi, just bought the machine and I am very new in sewing. Can't manage the speed of this machine. Is there any option or technique to lower the speed for the beginners like I m. Thanks a lot
Think of the pedal as the gas pedal on a car. If you floor it, it will go fast. Just ease on the gas!
This help me so much thank you
Glad it could help!
Can you tell me why my bobbin thread gathers at times and also the needle unthreads. New to sewing so need a lot of guidance. Thanks. its a 3817
Make sure your thread tension is 0!
you need to have excess thread from the needle and bobbin when u start and finish your stitch.
This was wonderful, thank you
This was so useful thank you !!
Does anyone know why after I changed the needle on my brother sm1400, it rubs with the lever that hold the fabric down?
🤷🏾♂️
Having problems, getting knots bottom of fabric.
Make sure you have the machine threaded correctly. If the thread isn’t ran through the proper places on the machine, it will cause it to bunch when sewing.
Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial 🥺🙌
No problem!
Are you using a different sewing foot than the zig zag that came with the machine? i just purchased the clear brother one bc I was having issues getting the straight stitch to work on the default one.
Does the machine stop the thread going to the bobbin? How does it or we know when there's enough thread?
Super helpful video!
Glad it helped! remember to subscribe!
what is the point of the bobbin if you just use the thread from the top
Amazing 🤩
I love it 🥰 so much
👍🏽
TLDR - "take the thing, wind it through the thing - you can't see it on the camera - then just wrap it below the thing, and you're good to go"

Hello! You just move it out of the way then lower the pressure foot behind the needle then begin sewing!
@@GentStyle thank you!
Thank you. One suggestion, maybe next time use black thread so we can see it better
This is helpful but it was to fast
Thanks a lot
Hey! We have the same machine!
thankyou soo much good sir
Good way to save money 💰 so you don’t have to go to the local tailor for your alterations.
Clifton Sledge yes! Save that money!
Can you do it again but explain like you're talking to a 5 year old
me encantaaaaaaaa....
thank you! :D
Hi this is my mom’s phone and I’m Aniah I have the same brother LX3817 as you!
Can you show how to sew a Nike logo please?
Not enough detail. Skipped some steps.
It was shown where to put the thread, and then where elsewhere to put it, without having shown prior to where the thread went.
Where is the bobber?
You don't show how to put the thread into the bobber at all
thanks
You are too fast. How to wind that bobbin? How do the 2 strings get together? Need more details.
Do you have instructions for your swewong machine or you can google the bobbin pattern for your model

A video about sewing machine basics but doesnt even know what the a knob even does or is for? Lmfao.
Do you?
you didn’t show how to finish it :(
This video is for sewing machine basics.
Horrible video. Instructions were unclear and talk more specifically. Please have your camera focusing on what your trying to teach and not blur, as well as slower movements because we are not as skilled as your are.
Well 46,000 other people say different…. This is a basic overview
Horrible tutorial you showed no close ups of the smaller place you need to place the thread I’m still left confused
There’s literally a graphic on top to show how to wind it. Pretty sure there’s one on your sewing machine too.
Useless😢
This was a great video to help me and my mother have a nice introduction to sewing 🧵, we literally have been wanting one for 2 years… I got a brother at Walmart yesterday and it is absolutely amazing
I have the same machine, how can I Reduce its speed? Its speed is very high! Please some help🥲💔
