I thought you were going to say throw the machine out of the window...obviously you are more patient then me...great video!!
Haha! That made me laugh!
So it’s not just me that shouts and threatens their machine out loud with that !!!
Lol I would have done that
Sandra Reid omg totally! That’s what I thought... throw the machine across the room! Lol 😝
Thats just about where i am at the moment arggggg lol
This woman needs to become a hostage negotiator. I feel like she could calm most situations.
That's a good thing. After dealing with my old machine it was about to be a hostage situation. 🤣😅
My wife was so sad and angry with me telling me I damaged the machine, after swathing your video, actually the tread tension was at 0. Now it is running like water. Thank you Ma'am,
Fantastic video no preemptive yapping about who you are why you make the video blah blah blah you just get right to the point I love it. Thanks
Thank you for making this clear and without a 20minute ramble :)
Ugh, tension can be so frustrating! Thank you for sharing this.
Love the visual examples and the quick presentation. A lot of videos on the topic come with 10 minute preambles, but you get right to the point! Thanks so much for the great tips!
She’s so calming. I just had a melt down because I’m working on fursuits and it was looking so nice but the back was terrible. This helped a lot!!! ❤️❤️
Same here! I was working on some commissions and the tension was giving me such a hard time.
Wow! I've been sewing (off & on) for 49 years and never heard such a wonderfully clear explanation of what adjusting the tension does. Thank you so much! I just worked on a project last night, and it's been at least 7 years since I've had the sewing machine out and the thread tension for the fabric I'm using is obviously off. Now I know which way to adjust it without guessing. 🙂
This literally blew my mind. I taught myself to sew and I’ve had this problem for so long it’s so frustrating. Well.... I’ve had my tension on ZERO! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!! 💗
You're welcome!
So what's it suppose to be at?
Same!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I don't sew and I was struggling to sew a hem and I didn't even know about the damn tension, I put it on 4 and boom off to the races. I was scouring the internet for the answer and you had it thanks
Me to
Omg. Thaank youuu!!!
I got a headache trying figure this out for hours!!!😭
Your voice is so soothing. Thank you
THANK YOU!!!
SENDING YOU VIRTUAL HUGS! You just saved my sanity. THANK YOU
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for being clear and concise and showing us how to adjust the tension!
Wow! Thank you so much. I’m very inexperienced when it comes to sewing and I couldn’t figure out why I was getting so much looping in the back. My tension was on 0-1. A million thank you’s!!!!!
I discovered this channel while searching for how to stich a skirt..omg your voice makes me to watch more and more videos done by you..such a soothing and calming voice you have..
Your way of explanation and videographer takes to the next level.
kindly do more and more vidoes.. Love from India🇮🇳
Thank you! I make my videos by myself, so that is a nice compliment.
Thank you!! I’ve been too frustrated or busy to look this up and you explained the process so well
Thank you. I was having a really rough morning struggling with tension and was spiraling WAY out of proportion. Your video and kindness sincerely turned my day around and has left me feeling much more equipped to handle this part of the sewing process.
I'm so glad I could help you!
Thank you so very much for this video. You've helped me realize how the tension was not high enough on my machine for the fabric I use when I get the "bird's nest" underneath. I always thought it was because the tension was TOO high. Of course, I know how every kind of fabric needs a different tension selection - I was just wondering how and why I kept getting those "bird's nests" when I ever sew. Have put my machine aside for a long, LONG time because I didn't think I'd ever find out how to "fix" that problem. Now I know!!! I sincerely THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for this video!!!
You're welcome!
I was tearing my hair out trying to get the tension right on my new big brother AE2500, you have been so helpful and saved my day, thank you so much 💐

Thank you, I've been having tension problems in my machine for the last 2-3 years and it makes me incredibly mad to the point.. that i've probably made two things in 3 yrs. I had to learn how to sew on my own and my frustration about tension is awful. I dont know why i didnt think to test each setting. it was just incredibly frustrating and difficult to deal with .. thanks for explaining it in a simple easy way!
I hope that this cracks the code for you and you are enjoy sewing more.
Oh my goodness thank you so much I was going crazy trying to figure out how to fix my birdsnest issue. I reread my manual a couple of times but it just wasn't clicking until you explained it. Thank you thank you thank you❤
