Another "I bought a sewing machine during the pandemic, and it stayed in the box" person here. I've been so intimidated by it for years now. But after watching this video, I think I've found a channel I can watch and learn along with, since there aren't any in person 'sewing club' or 'community class' sessions for easily intimidated types like myself lol Thank you for being detailed without going off on tangents. A lot of people when they're trying to teach beginners will skip steps because they've forgotten all the things they actually had to learn along the way. Assume nothing is previously known, a step is never obvious enough to skip verbalizing, and never talk down while explaining. 👍

It's actually a bad idea to leave an unused sewing machine in the box for a long time. When you get a new sewing machine you need to test it asap so the return date doesn't pass if it is faulty. At least test it to see if it stitches and that the timing is good ect even if you don't want to make anything yet.

I bought a sewing machine December 2021. I am just now taking it out of the box 8 June 2024. This is my first lesson because I wrote "sewing" on my To-Do list for today.

Angelina! You are a life saver!! OMG! My grandma taught me how to sew when I 14! I cant see the needle hole and have ADHD! Soooo many ideas, but panic sinks in and I am paralyzed! Have no clue where to start and become completely overwhelmed with fear then shut down. Your video was the right pace, right energy simply perfect! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

One of the most helpful vids ive watched. Got my machine 3 days ago, watched multiple vids & read the manual but NO ONE except this lovely lady explained ALL the little things to get you going. Not over-explained so that ur overloaded but def filled in a few blanks i couldnt find answers to elsewhere, including the manufacturers "beginners guide"!

Just got a sewing machine for Christmas. A hobby I have wanted to learn since I was very young. Was nervous about trying to learn and went through so many videos, but yours is the one that spoke to me! You are so clear and easy to understand! You speak at the speed I needed and show every step! I really needed this, thank you 🥹♥️

I really love that you showed different ways to practice sewing at the end. Also, the best piece of advice I ever received when I started sewing was to NOT FOLLOW THE NEEDLE. I think that most new sewists just instinctively keep an eye on the thing that is moving the fastest on the sewing machine. I've halted many projects because I couldn't sew a straight line. Glad to see more people giving this advice to newbies.

Simple and to the point. No excessive talking. Very helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼

Oh my word! The tutorial I’ve been waiting for. Presented beautifully with clear instruction & no nonsense, straight to the point (no pun intended) language. Thankyou so much ❤

I am a new learner. I am so glad that I came across your channel. You are a great teacher! Thank you. Amen

This is great because I haven’t touched a machine for maybe 20 years. I learned to sew on my mother’s machine. I want to buy a machine soon, but I was worried that new machines are very different. The good news is they aren’t, but you got me past my fear!🙏☮️

You're a very good teacher! I've taken an in person class & was still intimidated by the sewing machine. You explained it extremely well and now I'm excited to get started! Thank you!!!

Angelina, you did a great job explaining how to use a sewing machine!!! I’ve been sewing since I was 10 years old; Mom taught my sisters and me how to sew. I’ve always upcycled clothing, especially thrifted stuff. I like having pieces that are different than everyone else’s. ❤️❤️Judy❤️❤️

You are GREAT!!! I have never sewn before, except once with hand sewing a hole in my winter hat, So I want to start, and so I am gonna pick up a cheap used machine at a thrift shop and learn, But I was not sure how to tell if the machine even works or has its parts and whatnot. You sure did help me feel more comfortable with going ahead. I find a lot of beginner videos, Yet they all seem to be videos for people who have some knowledge and not for people who are actually starting from knowing nothing. This is awesome. Thank you.

I keep coming back to this video for my brother lx2763 that was collecting dust for 4 years. Thanks for existing

Just found your videos. Thank you so much! You helped me get started. I loved your statement, “the best sewing machine for you, is the one you are going to use!” My machine has been in the box since Christmas. I ASKED for it from my husband, but it just seemed too daunting to start. 🤦🏻‍♀️ …thank you for your encouragement!!!!❤️

You are a wonderful teacher! Yes, I have felt unsure about sewing because I had so many small, annoying problems which turned me off. Today, this intro, especially the bobbin part, has helped me tremendously. I will check out any & all your videos. Your manner is very reassuring, your instructions are easy to follow & your tone is very encouraging for newbies. You’re a natural. Brava!

I got a new sewing machine, gifted to me with the hopes of being able to tailor my own clothes. Because that’s the issue I always have. I’m so happy that you did a very detailed video, and even included how it looks on multiple different sewing machines!

Thank you so much. This is so helpful and clear ❤

For those using a singer simple machine... The 2nd step to thread the machine, the thread should go behind the rectangle plastic piece and NOT around the metal circular part unless threading a bobbin. Also, your bobbin should look like a 9 not a P and spin clockwise once inserted. I installed everything according to this video but was having major issues when I started to sew. Threading the 2nd step differently and turning the bobbin the other direction fixed the problem after watching a different video. Other than that, this video was very helpful.

I have a sewing machine that was bought for me as a birthday gift two years ago and I never opened it but I thank God I just ran across your page and I will be subscribing because I really would like to learn how to sew. thank you so much for posting this video and helping beginners and many more that have some machines that are still in the box.
