Spectacular! 12 years later still great! I just got a similar model and your step by step instructions helped me a lot! Thanks - From the future :-) 2024!
I swear this is the my go to reference. My mom gave me her White sewing machine & she lives in another country now...so when she's not here I run to this video to help me. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video! This is Jensen's dad. I was about to throw the sewing machine away because the instructions are so horrible. Instead I decided to see if someone on TH-cam might have a how to video. My machine is different it is a White 2335, but many things were the same and I was able to figured out the differences. Thanks for taking the time to make/post the video!!!!
THANK YOU!!!! I got my sewing machine from my grandma whose passed. I remember using it with her as a child and now in my 30’s I’ve decided learn how to see again.
Thank you - no nonsense - helped me put the bobbin housing back together on a machine someone just handed me. I could not believe how hard to find this simple information was - All I needed was the housing orientation. You saved the morning.
Got our White 1418 at a garage sale for $20; got it figured out and the 10 yr old is happily learning how to go slow and use it. Thanks for the help! She really loves it.
I've had the exact same machine for over 10yrs. Never used it cus I couldn't figure out the bobbin part w/the lousy instructions it came with. Thanks to your video I'm able to sew certification patches on hubby's work shirts! THANK YOU!!!
You sir are a life saver with my parents sewing machine without any instruction manual. Your instructions and video capture were clear and detailed enough for me to translate the working mechanism on a totally different machine (Sakura 9100) for the first time. Thank you!!! ❤
Yea! This is my machine! So nice to have a review of how to work it, get it to cooperate! LOL I thought I'd have to search forever to find my model, and here it is at the top of the list!! Thank you!
Today I decided to get out my sewing machine that I got years ago! This is the model I have :) I was frustrated when my bobbin thread and needle thread held the fabric tight and I couldn't get the needle out. Anyways, I found this video and it helped me immensely. Thank you for taking the time to make this! Best regards, Lauren
I could not for the life of me remember how to install and thread the bobbin. I was about to grab an exorcist for my machine, just to rule out some problems. This tutorial was WONDERFUL, thank you so much!
thank you so much for this video!! my friend came over to do a little project and brought it to my house and we were trying for atleast an hour how to work this and we saw this and.. THANK YOU! much appreciated!
I acquired my mom's old machine years ago & sewed a few feet of a curtain. The bobbin ran out & the metal bits around the bobbin came out in a heap of what looked like spare spaceship parts, so that was the end of that. Thought I'd try sewing again, but the other tutorials glossed over the important parts for real noobs, so thank you for this! I'm now the proud owner of a badly hemmed stretchy t-shirt. I'm actually proud of this, because earlier today all I could sew was a knot in the hem, lol.
Thank you, you saved my sanity. My Mom was an artist when it came to sewing, me, not so much. All I wanted to do was sew a hem that had opened in my pillowcase and it became a major project of unreal proportions. Your video got me through it, job done, great.
You were great. I am so happy because I thought I needed to go to a sewing class and no I don't. I want to be a fashion designer and you helped me out a lot because I kept paying this lady for sewing classes and it was so slow I learned fast and will watch this video again if I forget a part of my machine
I am trying to learn this exact sewing machine! Previous experience only in hand sewing. I was getting nowhere with modern sewing machine videos, which was making me frustrated. Can't wait to put your instructions into practice! 😮
Thank you Larry for this excellent video! When I looked at the machine we have I wanted to chuck it across the room. So many bits and bobs I couldn't make any sense of it. Who ever designed this things must work for NASA. LOL
Bought my wife a sewing machine before we got married about fifteen years ago. She never used it. I’m snowed in and bored out of my mind and broke it out of the closet! Thanks for this video!
Thank you soooo much! Ur video saved my sanity. I was sooo close to loosing it. Couldn't figure out a couple of things, but u clearly went over them! Ur a life saver 🖤
this video was very much helpful to me. I was getting quite frustrated with my sewing machine as it kept breaking the thread everytime i tried to sew and as I watched and then copied I found where I went wrong. So thank you very much for posting this video :)
Thank you so much. My machine jammed up on me and i took out the bobbin parts to try and fix it then realised I had no clue how to put them back together. Thanks you, you stopped a panic attack :)
Bubble not bursted, I make it clear in the video that I have no idea how to sew. I actually made the video to remind myself how to use the machine. (Since I only need it once every couple of years). I had now idea this video would get that many views. If you have excellent knowledge, please share in a video.
THANK YOU!! I have a White sewing machine which was gifted to me however i cant find any manuals or tutorials on it. It's Model number 404 and this was the closet thing to it that I could find. Thank you , Thank you, thank you!!
Thanks for the info, I didn't know ANYTHING about sewing machines and now I know something at least! Now I will go piddle with it with more confidence.
My ripped pair jeans in need of patching thanks you for this video! I borrowed this model sewing machine to fix my jeans and had no idea how to thread the bobbin. Thanks!
I just started a new job and my art studio has a sewing machine like this. My personal sewing machine and the one I trained on had a totally different set up for the bobbin so I've been having a hard time with thread jamming. Your video was so helpful with getting this sewing machine set up. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was having bobbin problems, not picking up thread (had it counter clockwise, oops), took apart bobbin assembly then couldn't get it back on, and needle not moving. I figured it out with your video!
Thank you for this video~ I was recently gifted this model of sewing machine, but I had never set any machine up before. It took some tinkering, but I eventually figured out how to get it to work properly thanks to your video :)
Thank you so much, I know this is an older video, but it just saved me a trip to my machine repair shop it explained what to do to unstick my needle bar thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much.My wife found two things that she was doing wrong. The only thing I would suggest is that you would use white thread so we could see the stitch.
Larry, thank you for making this video! First time doing this and even though I have a different model: 258SM, I was able to get it working with your help. Best!
Thank you so much for this video. I have this exact machine and was ready to throw it out the window this morning. After a lot of swearing, rethreading and yelling, I found your tutorial and figured it out. I'm still not sure exactly what I did wrong but I started from scratch and followed everything you did. THANK YOU!!!
Larry thanks for the tutorial - I wanted to let you know to place thread on the bobbin you should unlock the hand wheel and that turns off the needle mechanism so that is not going while youre threading the bobbin! Renee
Thank u I have a 1750 but it looks just like this but different color decal... For the people that need bobbin help... Wind a different color...it jams with plastic bobbins so classic metal only and lastly the bar that goes on the bobbin case is a lock u can lift it ( by the bobbin thread tension) and lock in in u will hear a lout click... That's how you remove it too without removing all of the casing you just pull up on that lever and the bobbin and the bobbin case come out. Also having different threads on the top and in the bottom allows you to see mistakes or how the stitching is
Around 5:15 The pressure knob all the way down (most pressure) is for normal sewing. In the up position (less pressure) is for thick or heavy material. I believe my newly acquired vintage White 505 has low, mid, and high settings for the pressure knob. I’ll check tomorrow.
Nice vid, thanks! Just a couple of comments: You don't have to crank very hard on the hand wheel lock knob. Just turn it until it's snug. Also (it's really too late for this unless you make another video), a dark thread on a light fabric, or vice-versa, would have been a better choice for demonstrating stitch patterns. It's fairly hard to see the dark-on-dark with some monitors. I have an older White 1599, and the thing is a Mac truck. It'll glide through belt leather with ease.
It appears there's not much difference in the white machines. My 1415 loads the same as yours. I have that plastic piece where you load up the bobbin to automatically disengage the drive and it will stop turning when the bobbin is full. I also disengage the motor so during this operation, the needle isn't going up & down all the time. This is a pretty neat video that covers everything to get sewing. Thanks for sharing.
I have this machine and needed a refresher, My machine wants to zig zag which is the top button feature. So what setting should both buttons be on for strait stitching. 1 and 1?
I was given this machine. But the hand wheel for the needle doesn’t move the needle. When I use the peddle it sounds like it’s doing it’s thing but nothing is actually moving. The bobbin wheel is tightened
....you know, after watching this, i don't think i've ever threaded my machine correctly? it explains why it constantly bunched up the thread (well it also had a dull and broken needle, but still)

I have been threading my machine incorrectly for the past six months. Thanks for saving me from countless more hours of utter frustration!

Thank you for this! The information and walkthrough was exactly what i needed to learn to use mom's old sewing machine! God bless!!

Still helpful after all these years! Thanks!
Thanks for going over the process it helps when you haven t done for awhile.
Excellent directions - I learned what I don’t know. Thanks a million. I broke a needle and am a new sewer. Hope I can replace easily.
The very best reminder… Thank you so much!
Thank you! I have a White 1505 & was struggling to put the bobbin in the machine. You helped me regain my sanity!
I literally would not know how to use my machine if it wasn’t for this video. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much. My machine jammed up on me and i took out the bobbin parts to try and fix it then realised I had no clue how to put them back together. Thanks you, you stopped a panic attack :)
this is an awesome video larry! i loved how you brought us through the mechanics and detailed every part. greatly appreciated!
Thank you. I inherited my grandmothers machine and was having a heck of a time getting it threaded properly.
Thanks so much. Considering but a sewing machine. I’ve never used one.
Now I’m not so intimidated by them.
Thank you very much for all your information you saved my life last night. 🙂👍

Hello Larry... Thanks for giving me your knowledge on how to thread this machine, now maybe I can make some money.
Thank you so much! I was having bobbin problems, not picking up thread (had it counter clockwise, oops), took apart bobbin assembly then couldn't get it back on, and needle not moving. I figured it out with your video!
Thank you so much, I lost my manual and this video really helped me.
Thank you. I was given my Grandmother's White 1805 sewing machine and I could not find any videos that showed me how to thread it right. Thank you.
Great video , well explained thank you, I got one and want to learn and maybe do the interior of my car one day
Thank you for this video~
I was recently gifted this model of sewing machine, but I had never set any machine up before.
It took some tinkering, but I eventually figured out how to get it to work properly thanks to your video :)

Thank you so much! Fixed a sewing machine that was threaded wrong with your video! 👍🏼
Thank you so much.My wife found two things that she was doing wrong. The only thing I would suggest is that you would use white thread so we could see the stitch.
Thanks for sharing this. I got one at a garage sale and your video was so helpful!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!! Thank you!
i realize it is kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
Great video! I bought a similar model second hand and didn't have a manual. This video helped a lot!
Larry,
thank you for making this video! First time doing this and even though I have a different model: 258SM, I was able to get it working with your help. Best!
Thank you for taking the time to show us your tips, helped out a lot !
I found to be very helpful. Someone just gave me this model of machine and I have no manual, yet. Thanks for the help.
Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴, muchas gracias excelente video
Thank you so much for this video. I have this exact machine and was ready to throw it out the window this morning. After a lot of swearing, rethreading and yelling, I found your tutorial and figured it out. I'm still not sure exactly what I did wrong but I started from scratch and followed everything you did. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you. I was so frustrated with the bobbin setup. You video did the trick.
Larry thanks for the tutorial - I wanted to let you know to place thread on the bobbin you should unlock the hand wheel and that turns off the needle mechanism so that is not going while youre threading the bobbin!
Renee
Thank you Larry - I now have a bit of a clue how to use my sewing machine!
Many thanks from Colombia,
i owe my new shirt to you and your instructional video!
Thank u I have a 1750 but it looks just like this but different color decal... For the people that need bobbin help...

Thank you for making this it helped me a lot
Thank you I have the same machine and you gave me about 4 tips that I just did not know thanks man
OMG THANK U I am so sick of the “beginner tutorials” with overlaid music and 30 seconds of a speedrun when I am LITERALLY A BEGINNER LOL thank u!!
Update omg I jumped when the presssure button thing got released it scared me 😂 my machine literally just attacked me
OMG PLEASE NEVER DELETE THIS VIDEO I have been SCOURING the internet for literally this exact knowledge. Straight to the point no BS THANK U SIR!!!
Thanks a lot!! I would have given up if I hadn't found this video!
at 13:08 I think you were trying to say "bottom bobbin case" but it came out really funny. This made my day!
I'm having the toughest time seeing how you are getting the string from the bobin to be picked up by the needle.
Thank you so much! although mine is a different type of White sewing machine....I still understood something...it was really helpful!
your my hero. Thank you so much for posting this video
Thanks for the video! Perfect, exactly what I needed
Thanks for posting this!! it made it so much easier for me to remember how to thread my machine. (:
2:30 is how the bobbin works 6:17 is threading the bobbin 8:30 is putting the bobbin in 10:37
Thanks for the video
6:20... Part 2 how to thread the bobbin and how to thread the needle.
13:40 now to sew...
16:50.…. Thread tensioning..
I believe that "lock" on the side is to stop the needle from going up and down when you are winding a bobbin.
I should do this as I have to relearn it every time I use it. Good video.
Thanks !! Didn't know how to thread the bottom threader for my machine
6:17 I have to watch this every time I need to wind my bobbin again lol those damn bobbins!!
You are life saver, thank you
Nice vid, thanks! Just a couple of comments: You don't have to crank very hard on the hand wheel lock knob. Just turn it until it's snug.

The color is perfect
thanks found this machine in basement that belonged to my grandmother!
Thank you so much for sharing! This has been a tremendous help!
I was given this machine. But the hand wheel for the needle doesn’t move the needle. When I use the peddle it sounds like it’s doing it’s thing but nothing is actually moving. The bobbin wheel is tightened
I have had the same machine for a LONG TIME! And it still works great. Does anyone know if it's able to drop the feed dogs?
Thank you so much. Please can you make a video on how to use a White 935 sewing machine.
Thank you so much for this video!
.
....you know, after watching this, i don't think i've ever threaded my machine correctly? it explains why it constantly bunched up the thread (well it also had a dull and broken needle, but still)
Thanks for the close-up of the bobbin. Damn bobbins! (Like Sedia Hebert say, so justly.)
This video was very helpful for me, thanks!!!
Thank you for tutoring video💕
VERY USEFUL THANK YOU
