This might’ve been the best sewing machine unboxing ever. 😂 Thanks for keeping it fresh with some humor thrown in! I’m a little jealous, my first sewing machine is super basic like your first (I still have it and use it regularly) and I’m getting this model for my 10 yr old for her bday. Selling point being the variable speed. Trying to figure out those pedals that are super touchy is something else.

I bought a Baby Lock (a Brother under the skin,) and the speed control also moves the needle to the right and left. Mine is a Brilliant, and it may be a feature on the midrange and up.

Thank you very much for the review! After watching your video, I've just bought the same machine, but I have problems with some decorative stitches, particularly with those which look like cross-stitch: 57-61. They aren't even, and some of them don't look right at all. I followed advices from Brother website, used 14 needle, adjusted upper tension to 4, made sure the machine is threaded correctly and used a double layer of fabric, but it didn't help :( did you have any issues with those stitches? If yes, how did you solve them?

Pure awesomeness!👍🏼

I'm thinking of getting this machine, but I wanted to ask if you are able to adjust the bobbin tension on it? I know it's a silly question but I've never used a machine with a top bobbin. I know how it's done on the lower one in a removable case, but how about these type? how do you adjust it? this machine seems brilliant and a great price range for what it does. Can you please advise me?

@TodayweCraft

Жыл бұрын

There's no such thing as a silly question. The answer is yes you can! You can adjust it using the dial on the front the same way as most machines.

I have just unboxed mine this afternoon, ( from argos :) ) and I heard you say you would have to alter your tension, Did you get yours just right, Ive re-threaded and re-threaded and rewound the bobbin and rewound the bobbin and still my tension isn't right... Puzzled. might try a finer needle, but all the instructions say bobbin not right or not threaded right... not my first brother, so not a newbie to them.

Mmmm interesting, I found that my tension worked fine right out of the box. I have had this issue before with different machines. I ended up taking it for a service, they tool the tensioner right off, reinstalled it and then it worked ok. I worry that sometimes if a machine is not quite assembled correctly, or is not handled correctly in transit that it's the tensioner that seems to be the indicator.

needle broke, had to take needle plate off, to retrieve broken piece of needle, now can't get the thing back in, either the top end goes in or the bottom end goes in but it wont do both

Hi, I'm new to the whole sewing world and a little unsure whether this is a coverlock or a "normal" sewing machine. Can you use it to sew elastic cover seams?

Hi Felia, welcome to the channel! This is a "standard" sewing machine. A cover or overlocker would be a separate machine. I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by elastic cover seams. A zigzag stitch is suitable for sewing elastic, which is possible with this machine. I hope that answers your question x

@@TodayweCraft Thank you for your answer. I meant cover seams (cover stiches) that are elastic. If that makes any sense 🙈

Having just purchased this model after my old brother electric machine broke after 46 years and my husband bought it when I was 19 years old I am now 65 years old now and I chose this model for its light weight and automatic needle threader, and I don’t have to use a foot pedal. My old machine was so heavy and in a plastic carry case and three times the size of my new machine. The old machine was heavy metal and only the base was plastic and the solid cover had handles that clipped to the base of my old machine. My son ordered it from Amazon for me £209 next day delivery of my old machine cost more than the new machine.

Can this machine sew elastic fabrics? Isn't it problematic that the sewing foot pressure can not be adjusted? I would be grateful for some help...❤

@TodayweCraft

11 ай бұрын

There's no reason to think that this machine couldn't sew elasticated fabrics. If I have a particularly stretchy fabric that is prone to moving about too much then I sew with a peeve of grease proof paper either side as this helps the fabric move through without it sliding all over the place.
