For those of you learning: there’s actually(probably) a thread cutter attached to your machine, so you don’t have to worry about using scissors to cut it when you’re done. 😊 it’s seriously a life saver.

For those looking in the comments to see if this video is beginner friendly: it TOTALLY is! I have never even touched a sewing machine before. Right now it is 2 am and I am trying to sew the bag thanks to this tutorial. :)

I have not seen your utube before. I am an older woman and I have sewn all of my life. I am so impressed with your beginning sewing program. Good job! I will recommend your utube for young people that want to learn to sew. Thank you. Janet in Idaho

This is honestly the best beginner sewing tutorial I've ever seen. You explained everything so clearly and didn't assume we knew anything - I've watched longer videos that cover less material and they weren't nearly as helpful as this one. THANK YOUUU ♥ Going to attempt that tote bag for my first project!

As someone who's barely sewn since 7th grade in junior high (1974!!!), I appreciate your lack of proper terminology and how much less intimidating it makes the process. Don't ya wish they'd simply called the 'good' side the 'outside' to begin with?

Ahhh i have such a love-hate-relationship with my sewing machine!!! Sometimes it just doesn’t work out so my seam ripper is my best friend by now haha

I love the way she explains EVERYTHING For beginners, I’ve watched so many videos and could never understand what to do, THANK YOU 🙏

Seriously... THANK YOU FOR THIS! This is the best beginner tutorial I've watched, and I really appreciate you explaining even the smallest things! I'm so excited to start sewing now.

I took sewing classes in high school eons ago and hadn't touched a sewing machine up unti this past year. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. I am so excited that you're doing these videos!

Love your tutorial! Never sewed or used a machine in my life but you have taken me from overwhelmed to “I can do this.” Thank you sincerely ☺️

Fantastic tutorial! I watched it yesterday - my very first day of sewing - and about 3 hours after I had learned how to thread the machine, I had already made a smaller version of the tote bag in the video, using an old bedsheet and following along with many pauses and rewinds. Thank you for this great confidence-boosting video!

I made it! With my own ferret paws! Thank you for posting this lesson! It is so pleasant to learn from you, someone who enjoys sewing. Other yt tutorial hosts begin by saying, "I don't like to sew". This ferret doesn't want to learn a craft from someone who doesn't enjoy it themselves. It's also nice learn it from a younger person, most all the other ppl making sewing vids are old. I appreciate learning from someone closer to my age, I feel like I can relate to you more than an old person. Thank you for all your hard work!

My mom got me a sewing machine for my birthday and I haven't used it yet because I didn't know how. Now I do! You explained it so well and I am really excited to make a tote bag!! 🥰

Thank you so much for this video!! I got a sewing machine for Christmas yesterday, and am a total beginner, but now I already have a tote bag! This video was so clear and helpful, and you helped me find success right off the bat 🙂

You keep saying sorry but your explanation is perfect because it is truly learning how to sew for dummies/ people who have never sewn before and don’t know the proper Termanology this is perfect! My type of tutorial

You first inspired me to crochet and now i've got a sewing machine for christmas too!! Cant wait to learn with you, thank u for ur videos

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH, this was so fun to watch

You keep saying sorry but your explanation is perfect because it is truly learning how to sew for dummies/ people who have never sewn before and don’t know the proper Termanology😭🤣 this is perfect! My type of tutorial

Thank you so much! This made me not only sew my first thing ever but also learn the basics of my machine. You are amazing ❤️

This is great. I just got back into sewing over the summer (after like 10 yrs or so). I used to sew from patterns, but now I'm interested in thrift flips. I feel like I have a lot of ideas, but I'm lacking in sewing skills. Real rusty. So I'm really excited for your sew with me series.

I got my sewing machine for Christmas and I’m finally learning how to use it. This is the only tutorial I found that actually help me. Thank you so much, Jenna.

U should really be proud rn bc this is the best sewing tutorial ive seen❤

This is so useful - I'm looking to get a sewing machine but haven't used one for over a decade so my memory of what I might need is pretty fuzzy. Not just a great intro to sewing machines, but also gives a good idea of what features to look for!

I love it! Even though I have sewed already a little bit, I also learned a bit more with this video, thank you sooo much! Also maybe good to show how the needle goes in the machine if it needs to be changed when broken. I love this series 😁

I haven’t sewn Since 1970 and just one class. But I just bought my first sewing machine at 68 years old(gift) Singer 4432. I need simple, simple, simple projects 😂. Thank you for your detailed tutorials.

Omg thank you much had lots of fun learning how to sew sis. You both are so down to earth and adorable. Take care and be safe. Love you sis. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so so much for this video! I'v never sewn ever in my life but always wanted to start. I watched your video once, lent a good sewing machine, went to the fabric store yesterday and then I did it. It's been a while since I did sth for the first time without any help, so there were highs and lows... but in the end: my bag is so frking amazing! I had to go shopping at 10 in the evening because I wanted to take this new bag out! I am so proud! :) Thank you so so much. You're video was perfect, I bought everything you said, I needed everything you said and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you jenna!! Love love your zoomed in video and step by step instructions!!

Hint: When you thread your needle be sure your thread is between the slot on the presser foot and not over or wrapped around one of the prongs.

This was so helpful, I'm excited for more sewing videos!

This really helps me thanks jenna🤍 love this new serie

thank you 🌸 i had a lovely first experience with you by my side. i used dacron cotton to make a black and white tote bag and now imm excited for more 🥰

I’ve been sewing for years and this was really helpful!

I just got a sewing machine for the first time so this is very helpful and ill be watching a lot more of your videos!

Im so happy you made this video! I got a sewing machine for Christmas and have or should I say had no idea how to use it

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It helped me so much

I'm so excited to have found this video! I just got the exact same machine today 🎉

What a beautiful process! Thanks for making this video!!!!

I came to this video to watch Jenna say "bag" over and over again!

Thanks Jenna, this video makes me want to give my machine another try!

Love this!!! Literally got this machine today and this was super helpful!!!! Thank-you!!!

This was amazing, thank you! Please continue making content for us newbies 🥲🫶🏼💛

This is the most useful video I've watched thus far. Thank you

I love the cute terminology. This is a fun one. Thanks!

Hi Jenna, I just found your channel I am a beginner and I am old and learning from you is super fun and easy. You are a doll Thank you for sharing your talent and enthusiasm. :)

Wow what a great tutorial, thank you. Im gona binge your videos now

You are a great sewing teatcher.thanx for clear instructions

thank you so much this answered all the questions i had and i finally sewed something :DDD!!!

Obsessed. I love this so much

You really make sewing more fun:3

Just made my first project using this tutorial! So easy…thank you

Hi! Just a friendly tip for the chapters in the video to make it easier to find what we are looking for. Add a chapter that is for threading the machine. Thank you, was very helpful! ❤

I am 15 mins into your video.. after seeing a number of beginners sewing videos (and believe me I am a complete beginner) I have to say yours is the most fool proof video to help me get started. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really like how you explained everything and why (e.g. why you reverse the stitch) as these are mistakes I would quite easily make as a new starter. I was wondering if you planned to make a video on various other stitches and when you would use them? It would be super helpful and I personally like how you explain things! Eitherway, thank you, thank you. Cant say it enough. I am subscribed and will continue watching the rest 😊👍

I can’t wait to make my first bag👍🏾Thank you

That was an amazing and easy tutorial to follow thank you! ❤

Male 62 from Mel AU, first timer, read the manual, and you have put the icing on the cake. Thank you.

I’m so pumped to try this 😁😁

Love your energy and your videos ❤️

Hi Jenna. Thank you for this tutorial. I will be making your tote bag its so cute and so are you. Actually you look just like my younger self. You could be my daughter. I'm happy you are on here teaching how to sew. God bless!

Instead of zigzagging after having seamed the two pieces together, it is a lot easier to simply zoom all the sides of each piece through the zigzag first. This way there is no need for a backstitch at the beginning or end of the zigzagging. A demonstrated here the zigzag is sewn part way into the seam allowance and still has some free edge availabpe for fraying. To lock in those edges, it is best to align the fabric so that the needle barely hits the cut edge on the right and into the fabric on the left. This way the free edge is completely encased.

This was so helpful!

thank you so much this really helped me!🥰😊

I have a sewing machine but it is very intimidating!! Just looking at it & the idea of threading it... And I had no idea about needing an iron or extra sewing needles. I guess I better get those. Oh and also had no idea about the zigzag stitch either!! I suppose I better find those things! I do have lots of bobbins though & pins, etc. Now I feel relaxed from this video so I will go to sleep as its late. You are very wise with sewing and relaxing too. 😀🌈🍀🌿🌱

I watched your video 1 time and I was able to make the tote. Thank you 😊

what an awesome tutorial love it thank you!!!

I’m glad I found your channel I just bought the same sewing machine.... but I definitely need a tutorial on how to use it properly...

This was super helpful! Thank you!

I learned a lot from this vid! Thanks!

Random fact: You became my company almost every night this week, because it's the final line at university, so at night I stay awake doing assignments, but that's not what matters now, what I mean is I put your videos, so I don't feel lonely during the dawn. Thanks for being here studying with me S2 (The only problem is when you say "it's so cute", because I can't keep writing without knowing what's so cute lol)

First time her, u are an amazing teacher, love your channel 🩷 hola from Campeche, México.

You are a queen!

I just bought the same machine and l was looking for a tutorial for begginers so your video came across very handy, l will follow all your instructions.... wish me luck!!!😂😂😂

Thank you, Jenna ❤

Thank you for the well explained video ❤️

This machine rocks I got five foots and other pieces included I love the buttonhole foot works amazing for button holes so easy to use since I saw singer channel on how to use this machine

Thankyou, this was so helpful.

Hiya! Your vids are so relaxed and you make everything looks so easy effortlessly. Thanks for this. I do have a question though: the kind of fabric you used for the tote bag looks very thin and in my experience, it is a bit of a nightmare to sew that kind of fabric. Do you have any tips on the type of stich to use if I am a beginner and need to work on satin or very soft thin fabrics like that? Thanks :)

Very good video, very informative. Bravo Girl, make some more. Thank you for sharing.

Ooh Jenna you made my day with the Fiskars skisors (as they are made in Finland) !

I love your vids!!

I made a tote bag toooo!! Thank you Jennna

This was so thorough!! Thank you! What type of fabric did you use for your tote bag in the video??

You are a life saver

Gonna do this bc I have no experience thank you!!!

I made the tote using an old pj shirt and it came out good!

Great job!

Great video!!

Jenna: "Don't go tooo fast cuz sometimes this thing falls off." Next scene: *winding super fast :D This is so helpful! I always forgot how to do all the basic things between every time I wanted to alter something and had to ask my mom to teach me on her sewing machine :D Then I finally bought my OWN a few months ago and have been too lazy to learn again :D Also thanks for the "stuff you need" - I forgot they don't include like anything with the sewing machine, so it's helpful to have a beginner stuff list for going to the craft store!

Love it enough said

You’re fantastic 💜

Thankyou you have helped me 🙏

Great video! Thank you 😊

You did an amazing job with the video. Loved the voom voom comment, I call the foot pedal the gas pedal. When you buy bobbins you need to know what size your machine takes there are so many sizes. And Don't cut interfacing with your good scissors.

Will you please do more sewing videos? I want to learn how to make the patch work 2nd skin shirts!

thank you for this!

off topic but your outfit and your room are both so ~aesthetic~

I’ve been asking my mom and mother in law to teach me how to sew because every time I go to Joan’s or the thrift store for some yarn, I find so many good fabrics and I get so bummed when I walk away because I don’t know what to do with them. Your video went into so much detail I want to attempt making a long sleeve or maybe even a tote bag as my first project. I might use my moms sewing machine just until I build the courage to invest in my own sewing machine. Also I have to find room for it… my husband isn’t going to like this idea😂😂😂 (only because there’s yarn everywhere and now it’s going to be yarn and fabric everywhere)
