I bought the cheapest machine Walmart had to see just what it would do. I was surprised at how good it was!!! Do you own this machine???? Do you like it???

I love this machine. All I needed, or wanted, was a "bare bones" sewing machine...no computerization, etc. (I've found they don't last very long). This is exactly perfect for my needs. At 73 years old, I have been using sewing machines of various makes and models since I was 11 years old, so I know what I'm talking about!

Yaaayy... I SEWED SOME OLD PIECES OF FABRIC FOR PRACTICE.. I’m still smiling in the inside as if it’s Christmas lol .. and got a hundred things in my head I wanna sew

I have a sewing machine I got about a month ago.. have no idea how to use it and I’m in the mood to make a skirt out of old jeans. This is the ONLY video I found that helped me and I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to learn! Amazing video!! Thanks :)

Thank you! My husband bought this for me as a beginner machine for my sewing class. I'm so excited to learn

Thinking about purchasing this exact machine today; I want to tie up sewing and work on the designs I’ve drawn. Great video!!! ❤️

I've looked at about 5 videos trying to get the basics, this is the best 1 I've seen.... thanks 💕

Extra advice from a beginner/ intermediate experience never cheap out on the thread. Get a good quality thread and your machine will work better. I'm trying to get back into sewing because i miss it and this video was amusing and inspirational. I've never used half the stiches available on my machine but i did fall in love with a serger a few years ago.

I usually skip thru these, but you were funny and kept my attention. Just got one for my bday. Haven't used yet. Needed a few pointers. Thank you. Very much..👍🏾

I love it! Thank you so much for this tutorial and testing this awesome inexpensive machine. I took my Brother Project Runway to the shop the other day and they told me two to three weeks and it broke my heart. After going thru withdrawals, I thought I'd look at the sewing dept at my local Walmart. They had a few of higher priced ones that I didn't want to invest in, but at the end of the shelf was one single pretty light blue Brother LX3817A for 76.00! I thought I'd try it so when I got home , your video is the first that came up on KZfaq. I must say that your excitement re the capability of this machine reminds me of me when trying something that surprises me in a good way. Thank you again for this....God bless!

My husband got me this machine for Christmas! I’ve been scared to try it out. This is so helpful!!

This is a great machine! I bought my machine to do my quilts and it’s a beast of a machine!!! I’ve not had any issues at all with my machine in years! Mine has a different design on the front but still the same machine. Brother is my go to for sewing.

The zig zag stitch to allow stretch, is the best tip I have ever seen. Thank you for opening my eyes to a simple solution. Stay awesome!

I love my basic sewing machine. I’ve had it for 30 years. It sews through all fabrics. My new computerized machines cannot. I always can rely on my good old faithful.

I have not sewn since middle school and I'm 44. Got this machine to start relearning and to also teach/learn with my son. Thank you for this video. Validating to know we picked a good machine!

I bought this machine in the Tiffany blue and I've gotta say I love it! It's so smoothe and not very loud.

I just ordered this sewing machine online (since ALL stores are sold out!) and Im a beginner but you just got me so excited knowing I can do it too! Great tutorial!

Excellent video! I haven't bought my sewing machine yet, but I will soon. This video gave me so much relief. Now I feel like I can sew😂 thanks so much! ❤️

WOW! That’s impressive you done a great job in demonstrating it! Be great for my granddaughter for her first machine thank you so much for sharing!

I just recently purchased this machine and I love it ! I found that the piece in front under the bobbin (where you make it a free arm ) can hold your accessories like bobbins etc. This was a big switch from my Vintage Kenmore 158.6410 model made in Japan and all metal. Happy Sewing !!!

I've been thinking of buying one. I just looked up how to videos and found this. I'm more enthused now to purchase it knowing I can go to your video for help. Thank you for taking the time to make this and post it.

Nice I bought the same for $89.99 and I love it bought it 5 years ago , and still working for my basic hobby projects. ☺️

I'm so glad I found your videos. My 11yr old daughter has always liked cutting things up and creating something new. I would give her old mismatched socks when she was younger to cut up and make Barbie dresses. This past Christmas, I gave her this sewing machine, figuring her and I are both beginners and you never know when a child's hobbies or interest will be old news and be tossed in the corner. That's ok Mommy will use it lol but seriously I think she'll love it once she gets the hang of it so I can't wait to show her your videos. Thanks for sharing!

oh my gosh, you are so great! This was so stinking helpful - I giggled through the entire video, too 💗

i haven’t been able to find a good tutorial for the questions i had on this machine, & you went above and beyond, thank you so much!! you are AMAZING for this!! :,)

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I just bought this sewing machine & your video helps.

I was thinking of getting a sewing machine and came upon this video. I love your personality and edits. Great work

Thank you so much for your video’s part 1and 2 I’m a beginner in sewing, I have a Brother’s jx2517 it’s like the one on your video! I would love for you to make more tutorials if possible! Love your tutorials they are so helpful! Bless you and your family!

I'm getting one. Wow thank you for this review. I love your style and your humor💐

I'm definitely buying this machine, I have a million things I can do for my small business with this sewing machine for sure! ❤

Just bought this model in 2023 and it now costs a whopping $85!! Lol.. Thank you for the tutorial, however as a beginner and viewing other videos, a crucial piece of information I never would have thought twice about was the to release the presser foot while threading due to tension disks. HELPFUL!!! :)

I'm tired of taking my pants/jeans into the seamstress, its getting super costly, I was considering a decent sewing machine & I'm so glad I saw your review ; ) It was awesome thanku for your info & demonstration ✌🏽

Thank you for doing this detailed review...really appreciate it.

I have this machine and by and large it is pretty decent - it has real issues with stretchy fabrics like elastic, it doesn't like when you fold over and try to do 6 layers of tightly woven quilting cotton for an edge - it will almost always get stuck on that, the feed dogs are just not powerful enough to move the fabric through - I recommend using a walking foot if you have to do anything with a folded edge of more than 4 layers of fabric. Super easy to thread, quiet, otherwise pretty nice basic machine.

I bought this several months ago and I love it. I've already made about 15 garments and a crib quilt! Love, love it!

Thank you! I have a Shark Euro Pro X Intelli-Sew with all the bells and whistles and electronic backstitch and needle placement (and that’s probably the problem, it’s too technological). It’s from 2006 and it was my mom’s. It has 66 different stitches that I’m never going to use, can’t find the manual and it finally “crapped the bed”. Too many problems to count and since I’m just a casual sewer I’m looking for a whole new SIMPLE machine. This is the one I had my eye on because of how simple it is, but still does lots of things! Thank you thank you THANK YOU 😊

Thanks for making this video! I’m in design and dressmaking school and my hand me down sewing machine just officially broke.😭 So I need a really quick sewing machine option.

I’ve been using the Australian variant of this machine for 10 years. Once you get to know this machine, you can do anything on it, I have different presser feet for it and not only do I make clothes for my daughter, myself and my family, I also make handbags and purses, I have made quilts, hats, doll clothes, modern cloth nappies/diapers the list goes on! The fabrics I’ve sewed at least includes many different knits and wovens, denim, vinyl, waterproof canvas, pul etc. As I already stated, once you get to know this machine, you will love it!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL I bought a sewing machine a year ago and I did everything the manual told me to do and my dumb self thought it was broken but no I was just not paying attention

Thank you. I bought this and loving getting back to seeing on a budget. I actually sewed 4 layers of upholstery fabric. Lol

I have the brother LS-2125... i recieved it as a gift 10yrs ago. I have used it some and like it but was not sure how to use everything as i have little experience. Thanks for sharing the video.

I enjoyed your videos! I bought a mini sewing machine a couple of weeks ago just to make masks and enjoyed sewing so much that I bought the LX3817A which I guess the color is the only difference between yours and mine. I need hemming lessons and alterations on armholes. I’m petite so alterations are a must for me. I would love to see how to cut patterns and sew with this machine. I’m a beginner so I take what I can!

Literally in Walmart watching your video. Super helpful 2 years later after you posted it than you !!

My mom got me this same exact sewing machine for my fursuits! I haven't tried it out yet. But I bet it would be awesome! That you so much for showing me this! It was also the cheapest sewing machine where I live too!

Just got mine.... Never used a sewing machine before. I'm nervous but excited

My grand daughter has this for her first machine, It has a wonderful stitch quality.

thank you so much. I didn't know the trick for the stretching material. Is the one I've been using. Well, cause I am a beginner at sewing. But so far I have create baby bibs, baby pillows, burping cloths and skirts. And I've learn watching tutorials on youtube.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I just bought mine at walmart.

Thank you for this video I literally just purchased this one today!!! Cant wait to get home and try it out

The best tutorial video so far.

You are so funny! I just love you and I immediately subscribed to your channel! Thank for showing us all how to operate our new sewing machine. God bless.

Thanks for giving us the demonstration. My puppy dog thanks you I'm sure. Yes I liked your demonstration. I liked, I subscribed and rang the bell too. See you in your next video. If anyone asks you is it possible to sew using only one hand, tell them yes it is. After I had my stroke I thought because I couldn't use my left hand that my designing clothes was over but with a lot of practice I was able to retrain myself to do most of the tasks. Never give up. Not ever!

My 41 year old Singer just died. I am so sad. Thanks for the video. I have been assuming I would want another Singer but this looks very interesting.

Love your demo!!!!! Thank you!!! You’re inspiring me!!!!! 🤩

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! QUALITY CONTENT FROM A QUALITY CREATOR 🙏

I love the video and your way of explaining everything:) Can you do a video about just the stitches and explain them .. thanks

OMGAWD!!! THREAD YOUR NEEDLE FROM FRONT TO BACK PEOPLE....REALLY EASY BASIC $!#@... except lol somehow mine was threaded to the side and kept breaking my needle and DEFINITELY NOT SEWING A DAMN THING!!! Geez lmao thank you for pointing that very specific detail out for me

Brother makes the nicest little machines great video!

The machine actually does allow the change of the width of the zig zag. It has a hole next to the stitch selector where it can be changed.

Thank you for doing the button hole!!!

I just got the same machine today and your review is great thanks

I got the this same machine on overstock for $59.99,i love it.

I bought my granddaughter one of them little $22 sewing machines operated by battery and I was surprised how great the stitching was yes it's plastic but for a little girl 9 years old this machine makes a Perfect Stitch I made a minor adjustment on the needle thread and the bobbin and if so just like a professional machine Granite it won't last forever but for 22 bucks and a little girl it works great

I just bought this very one. was worried about how it might sew but am pleasantly surprised. I can even sew my dog collars on it.

The machine does fine but its the thread you will have trouble with in breaking goibg through too many layers. . Right now at Wal-Mart the sale price is 76. And im going for it. It's the purfect 1st time beginner sewing machine. Thanks for all your help.

I took my first sewing lesson today on a fancier Brother. Can you control the speed with the foot pedal? I'm totally new to sewing. Thank you so much for this review!

It is very useful to tell the facts of what we know, my friend is color blind and she didn't even know it until he used the machine 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Very helpful.. so this machine didnt need a bobbin to be put in too?

The threading the needle part is what I needed... 👀

You’re so cool! I learned so much, thank you!

I have that one but lost the clear top cover.from the bobbin i had to order and i hope it fits

Thank you for explaining this so well!!!

I brought this machine wanting to learn how to sew. Do you have videos for that. You are an awesome teacher!

Great video! One of my concerns was if this machine can sew denim. Thank you!!

I owned one its great. I got it for a birthday present

Mine has started skipping .... I have retreaded it several times ... I broke two needles. I tried to do the zigzag because my brother is hard on his tied and breaks the ties ... not where sewed but the material.

It does 8 layers of denim today, but will it do it tomorrow, next week next month etc? It is probably to much strain for the machine over long term. Great review though.

What is the best tension to put this machine on to see a quilt? I'm new at sewing with a machine.

Awesome thank you so much! I think I am going to buy this for my first machine! Do you have any experience or an opinion on the Brother XM2701? Nearly the same price, I found it for $10 more than the LX3817...

That machine is cheap and I am surprised that it was able to sew through that many layers of denim and did most of the other material as well. I just purchased a new Singer model 2277 sewing machine and have to get extra feet, needles, and other supplies I will need for the machine along with plenty of thread as well. The Brother did a better job than I would expect it to do considering the price.

is a 1/4 foot available for quilting?

I've never sewed with a machine before but I'm thinking of getting one. It's a JX1420 brother from Walmart. Its $109. Not sure I'll get an answer before I pull the plug and order it.

does thread come with it or do you have to buy it separately?

Here, just take my LIKES!!! Great job!!!

Hi there. i just came across your video and was wondering if you know what Brother machine has the automatic presser foot button..Thanks

I'm having trouble with this sewing machines tension. I has gotten too tight and I cannot seem to correct it. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

I have a problem with the fabric getting pulled down into the bobbin area. Any ideas

Does the button hole also help with sewing a button with a machine?

I just bought this sewing machine because I want to pick up sewing and succeed this time! Thanks for such an Awesome video! Oh and I subscribed! :)

Thank you for this video!

As a student this is very helpful thank you! :D

Thank you so much I am a beginner in sewing and I want to make my own costume! I am 13 so I am starting off young but I have help! And I can learn alot from others

I just purchased this today to replace my old (emphasis on OLD) singer sewing machine that just clonked out on me. I can't wait to start using it! Thanks for posting this video :) Would you recommend this machine for paper crafting as well? such as sewing on scrapbook pages

Hi! Thank you so so much for this tutorial. It makes it so much easier watching you and following your instructions rather than reading the book and looking at the pictures. You did a great job.

I have that sewing machine and it some how jammed but I don’t know how to fix and so I can’t see with

I brought one at Walmart and went I turn on is not working even not any sound at all , I go back to Walmart to change the machine for a $20 more expense one Brother GX37 and is good one but I am a beginner so i am not familiar with Brother Brand. So I hope I learn soon to know my machine and I so exited about it.

Okay, I am about to get this now. it's on sale, I want to put ribbon on bottom of tulle and make small baby blankets. can I achieve that with this machine? Thank you

I got a scrap … always tension issues how many adjusts i do!! And when i opened and cleaned the bobbin case the needle started hitting the case ….!!

What is considered the basting stitch on this machine? Thank You!!

I just bought one and I love it.
