Despite the cheesy production of this video, it is by far one of the most comprehensive and best sewing machine tutorials on youtube. I've gone through so many lame videos of people completely skipping over steps and/or having poor video footage of what the hell they were doing.

the 90s vibe got me to pay attention to every second, thanks!

As a single man, I'm able to make some simple repairs and alterations thanks to this video and my Brother LX3817 sewing machine. I have two dogs and non of the clothes in pet stores fit on them. I also make or alter their clothes and now they enjoy long walks when the weather is cold.

When I first turned on this video, I thought, “what the hell am I watching?” Luckily I fought through my urge to turn it off and successfully threaded my machine and sewed my first stitches. I bought the machine to create bandanas to donate to the local dog shelter, and maybe a few collars for my own dogs. I’m a guy who forgot everything that was taught in middle school home-ec class so this was amazingly helpful. Thanks!

Why does it sound like I’m watching a little bill/ Pokémon episode 😂

Me 10 Years Ago: In the middle of Afghanistan, dirty, freezing, tired, blowing up targets, starving to death, being told by the doc I'm gonna be dead from my injuries in two weeks. Me Present Day: Learning to use my new sewing machine while being transformed through music into a magical Sailor Moon girl to battle the forces of evil. This has been a very strange journey...

I was chuckling because this video reminded me of the 90's or early 2000's in a classroom. Cheesy (yet calming) 90's styled music, calm light voice, but easy as pie instructions that far make this the best sewing tutorial on youtube I have come across. in perspective, I can't sew, but after watching this, i feel that i actually have a shot at sewing. :3 Love the video, and thank-you.

I love all the comments about the Magical Girl Sailor Moon music, but this really is a good video for figuring out how to thread this darn machine :)

Finally, a sewing machine tutorial that is straight to the point without useless babble. I appreciate that.

I've watched a few Tutorials on KZfaq about the Brother sewing machine. I think this Tutorial is by far THE BEST. 😆

This video made me feel like I was in the 1990’s 😍 Btw great video, this actually taught me how to use the sewing machine thank you brother 😁👌

I sew several times a week for my decorating business (custom drapes, pillows, bedding, upholstering, etc) My old machine was giving me fits this morning. So frustrating! I just needed to walk away and do a bit of retail therapy. Hit Goodwill and lucky me, just happened to find a brand new Brother GX37 for only $40...seriously, I don't think it was ever used! Such a deal! Unfortunately, the user manual was missing. KZfaq to the rescue! This video helped me become familiarized with my new machine quickly and I was able to get back to work on my projects. Yay!!

Her voice sounds like Barbie lol I love it!

Out of all the sewing videos I've come across. This by far has kept my attention. Seems very easy to follow and provided step by step instructions. I'm looking forward to using my Brother's sewing machine this wknd.

Here's the timestamp for the steps in case you want to skip to a specific step. Happy Sewing ! 😊 0:43 Setting up the sewing machine 1:13 Winding the bobbin and lower thread setting 4:58 Upper threading 7:26 Start Sewing 8:54 Reverse sewing 9:59 Thread tension 10:34 Satin Stitching 11:25 Buttonhole sewing 14:45 Zipper insertion 15:32 Replacing the needle and maintenance

Thank you! I easily assembled this myself because of the help of this video. I am a twelve(turning thirteen) year old ready to learn to sew!

the narrator's voice gives me life. 😂

been going back to this video for three years now every time i forget how to use a sewing machine, v useful

Why does the music sound like I'm transforming into a magical girl?? Edited: I didn’t think my comment would blow up. Thank you guys! ^ - ^

2:59 These make me feel like I am back in the warm care of my Grandma

I am so glad this video is on KZfaq because I have the DVD and rewinding and replaying it is a hassle.I hope I find other videos from the Brother DVD on KZfaq.

2:34 those shoes tho lmao

I just got a brother sewing machine yesterday and I had no clue how to use it this is so helpful thank you

I had my machine over a year and just started sewing. You tube videos save my sanity. I’m new to sewing and I made many mask. I just now ran across this amazing video. And I didn’t know to lay the needle thread on top of the fabric. And I have watched others sew. So I was learning from their videos. The way I was sewing was working. I did occasionally have the thread come out extra from the bobbin area. This might be why it was doing it. And my Bobbin wasn’t always working, thanks for that info.

Thank you for the video! I just bought a Brother sewing machine and the instruction manual was beginning to take over my life. This made it a ton easier 💜

This video is literally the best tutorial I have ever watched. Very relaxing and entertaining.

Thank you ...this was so helpful,over the years not using it...I had forgotten how to thread the bobbin..very helpful...thanks again.

Sailormoon “Moon crystal power!” Cardcaptor Sakura “The key which hides powers of the dark!”

im so high I feel like an angel is talking to me ….. i’m learning so much… tomorrow I will be closer to a master

Looooove it! It is so useful! It's been a while since my mom taught me how to use a sewing machine. I have a brother sewing machine that I have never used, today I did a couple of practice tests and did alright. Hopefully with practice I will get better!

I come back to this video every once in a while. I don't own a Brother sewing machine. This video is just so soothing to watch.

Love the 80s vibe of this tutorial.

People disgust me to no end. Stupid comments......atrocious music, woman's voice etc etc. You don't like it? Do your own video and watch all the stupid comments that you receive. People have no class and are not cultured. This girls voice is her voice. NOT YOURS. It's hers. She did an excellent job. As for the music. I love most all kinds of music if it is orchestrated well and performed well. The "music" you hear on the majority of FM stations here in America is junk performed mostly by people that call themselves "musicians" ...just a voice that some talent scout discovered with a pretty face and made millions. That's it! It insults great music and fine musicians who paid a lot of money to study with fine teachers and then practiced their asses off to become fine musicians. What do you know about music? People here are experts on every subject. You tube is a wonderful thing but like everything else in this world it is abused by idiots with foul mouths and hideous comments. Remember: "When you point your finger at someone, there are always 3 pointed back at you. Get a life people.

I feel like I'm watching a harvest moon sewing tutorial, but the dub is bad. I like it a lot it's very calming. Thanks for the very detailed explanations!

Why does this video feel so nostalgic, the 80-90's vibes are so strong

I just about cried when I actually got this machine to work lol. IM SO HAPPY! I had a sewing machine before, but I just could NOT figure the damn thing out so I gave up and have been hand sewing EVERYTHING. Through the process of moving a few times I've lost parts of that machine, so I thought I would try again with a new machine. I saw the price of this sewing machine and read the numerous glowing reviews and just bought it even though I had no real hopes of actually figuring out how to work the thing. BUT I DID!! And it works BEAUTIFULLY! This sewing machine was so easy to set up with the help of this video, so THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!

I just bought a sewing machine and was able to sew my first stitches with this video!! I cannot thank whoever made this enough!!

Love this video. Very straight forward and used my sewing machine for the first time! Love it!

I’m very much living for the music in this video.

Bought this machine a few days ago. Choose this one for the price and self threading. I couldn't thread a needle with powerful glasses. Windows 10 has decided it will not play any DVD making the instructional DVD that came with this machine useless, so here I am! THANK YOU so VERY MUCH for this video! I couldn't use this machine at all without you! That self threader makes zero sense to my peanut brain, but I got it to thread by watching you.

this is such a easy calming tutorial. very straightforward with perfect close up shots. makes me feel like im living in a shoujo anime

this was sooooo helpful, my sewing machine was passed down I LOVE IT i get to make clothes and pillow cases for my daughter thank you so much for this video

I've just got hold of rhe lx25 so really looking forward to using it and learning all how to use it properly looks interesting how the bobbin cases are at the top on these machines looks easier to clean out also with a brush, I had an old brother window matic sewing machine and I've just re oiled it all and done the bobbin case brushed out and replaced the needles sorted the timing out which it's sewing much better now than it did really pleased with it now spent the day doing it but don't do zig zag so ordered a new brother sewing machine so looking forward to using the new bobbin feed

This is the easiest tutorial I've seen by far and it's nearly impossible to miss steps. It feels like it was made for people with short attention spans (like me). Thanks for the video!

This music slaps 😖

This is the best instructional video. It’s a bit old school, I feel like I’m back in the 80’s lol but I like how it explains everything

really cool that Poppy is narrating instructional videos now

Thank you! I lost my manual 5 years ago and tucked the entire thing away. Your video is very much appreciated!

Worked like a charm! Your video is clear and concise making this an easy task.

Anyone in quarantine also?

I keep expecting a jumpscare with all the vhs style horror nowadays. This is such a good video though, I started a tailoring project without ever having sewn before and now have experience in both hand stitching and using a sewing machine

Thanks for posting this. I don't have a DVD player.

i can not give this video so many thanks on how to do your thread it vid was sooo helpful after looking at other vids this one help me a lot and i just want to say thank you

2020 and making masks.... I have never sewn anything in my life but went and bought a sewing machine with no idea what to do with it. Thank god for youtube and people like you who are willing to share knowledge.... thank you so much, this was super easy to follow and now I am sewing!!!

My mom and brothers got me a sewing machine for Christmas because I do a lot of hand sewing. I'm still nervous learning how to use the machine but this video is extremely helpful!!

Thank you so much for this video, after not having a clue how to set it up I now have a working sewing machine on my first attempt. The instructions are very clear and very well demonstrated.

Thank you so very much for this video. My neighbor moved and threw out this exact machine. I picked it and plugged it in and it works 100 percent. This is helping me with set up and to see if I'm missing any pieces.

Anyone here because you have a lesson

Just picked up a Brother SM1704 from goodwill and this has helped so much!! Thank you!!

This tutorial is very helpful, I haven't used my machine for some time , I am going back to sewing , I find the tutorial very refreshing

The voice should be used as a torture tactic for getting information out of criminals

Thank you ever so much for posting this video. This saved me hours of agony!

🙏❤ Just bought a Brother exactly like the one in the video. It's not my first sewing machine, but you helped me with a few tricks. Thank you 👍!

I love this video! Although many of the instructions dont fit my model, The (Brother Bs-2450) i am grateful my Auntie has given me my first ever sewing machine, and i wont give up trying to use it. Yesterday i did cry in frustration but i finally figured out how to properly install the bobbin, Thank you for this cute video, the music is relaxing and peaceful 🥰🌸

Thank you... I found this tutorial very helpful as I have not used my machine for a long time :)

When you mess up one thing and you have to go back five steps to fix it: *crap*

I have watched a few and picked up a few pointers here and there. I know nothing about a sewing machine but after watching this I’m confident and ready to sew my fringes on my garments. This video gave me life

The way this helps me more than newer videos

I would have done well to watch this before trying to sew. I was trying to use the written directions. Something went clonk. The machine made a funny electrical noise. It scared me. Until I watched this video, I felt it was just possible my sewing machine was possessed. But I found three crucial things I was doing wrong, and how to fix the clonk. Still afraid of my sewing machine. It goes too fast! But I am entertaining the thought maybe the machine and I could be friends.

This video was very helpful. Thank you sooooo much!

You're really not going to explain how to get the thread into the hole on step 4? Its buried.

Princess Peach does a hell of a voiceover.

Really helpful with figuring out my new Brother machine. This is my first time ever using one too! I absolutely loved the music and her voice too!

Thank you for this video! 10/10!

I'm grateful that this video exists on KZfaq because I don't have anything that plays a DVD anymore.

Perfect! Short and sweet, as it should be. Thank you so much.

The 90s called, they want their instruction video cassette tape back.

Best basic starter sewing machine use video on KZfaq! (Even if you don’t own a Brother brand sewing machine)

Love the soothing elevator music in the background :)

Oddly comforting and I love it. Very helpful tutorial!

Thank you ❤️ this video is so helpful. starting a new hobby 🧵🧘🏽‍♀️

This video is so helpful , thank u so much

Very helpful. I was able to resolve longtime tension problems after watching this video. Thanks

Thank you so much , I just brought one of these and it's my first time using a sewing machine, and this information was so good 👍👍👍

2021 anyone?

I just bought one yesterday. My question is what number should each of the setting knobs be set on? I sewed a sample piece and the top looked good but the back was clumpy

Hi! Love ur videos and how u explain so slowly and clear! Really helpful Thanks👍👌

I'm about to use this Brother machine I got from my sister (lol) to make some masks for the people in the nursing home, thanks for the tutorial... I'm sure I'll watch it another 4 times before I get the hang of it.

i’m not sure how they got that loop after turning the needle dial :(

Thanks for sharing, the video is clear and easy to understand. 💕🧵😍

Very good instructions! I'll keep this in mind when I buy a sewing machine for my Mom in a few months.

Thank you so much for the online video... My DVD player was having some trouble so I'm glad that this video was available 😊

Needle is NOT catching the bobbin.

So informative for such an old video easy to follow

this video is still useful. 10/10 vibes, instuctions and clarity. thank you

This was so so helpful! And I am living for the editing style

VAPORWAVE fans: Watch this at 0.5 speed

I swear this video is a magical girl from the 80's. But this definitely was helpful.

It’s 1 in the morning and I don’t even have a sewing machine but here I am

How can you not feel like a transforming magical girl in an anime with that music. Brother headquarters is in Nagoya, Japan!
