Sewing for Beginners - How to use a sewing machine - How to sew

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is a sewing tutorial for people who have never used a sewing machine before. We use the Singer Tradition, which is a very cheap sewing machine you can get from most craft stores.

    I’m a male too and I like making costumes/cosplay. I’ve back stitched a “double ribbon trimmed” cape from a video game by hand and Jesus I’m so glad I bought my first sewing machine. Honestly I’m gonna return this Loops&thread machine and get a Singer. Idk what do u guys think? I’ll mainly only ever use a regular running/back stitch anyways. Not gonna do anything fancy. It cost me $38 at Michaels cuz I got a 40% off Coupon. I kinda want the Singer M3400. What does anyone think?

    My 10-yr-old daughter and I are indebted to you for this wonderfully clear video. We bought this exact model last week and were so frustrated by the "instructions" as we could not even thread it. But after watching this, we were both so excited to try again, and it worked! She is so proud of making her first pillow! Thank you for the inspiration and the much-needed help. We will be watching all of your tutorials.

    Hey man, I hope you see this. I got my new sewing machine a couple of days ago. I’m a young 22 year old who’s aspiring to get into textiles. As someone who has autism and struggles to follow instructions or understand mechanics, you’ve made this SO easy for me to understand and complete. You are very easy to listen to and make enjoyable content. I was fricken infuriated by some other the other videos but man I’m glad I found you. Please keep doing what you’re doing as it helps young guys like me who have trouble learning/learning difficulties. Edit : I just wanted to express the rage I had at some other videos because I couldn’t understand their instructions or I should say they didn’t articulate them as well as I needed them to. The sense of relief man watching this. Seriously, you don’t know how much you can help people! You’re saving people like me a lot of stress and pain and you’re amazing for it. Thank you brother. Much love from the UK

    Fantastic tutorial. I can tear down a Catt 3108, replace a high pressure injector line at sea on a Perkins 6354... But I could not for the life of me figure out our Singer basic machine. Thanks to Tock Custom I am repairing socks, shirts and other items, giving them a longer life. And saving us from buying new cloths when we don't need to. Really appreciate the work that went into this video!

    You are such a breath of fresh air watching you sew and teaching others. I'm a grandma and haven't sewn in 30 years; however, I just bought a simple machine and I am going to do a lot of practicing before I go full force, so to speak. I have also been telling my (male) baristas at the local Starbuck's about how you sew and teach with your videos. Anyway, thanks for the tutorials and keep adding them, please.

    Hi Tock Custom. I've had a sewing machine my late mother gifted to me over 12 years ago and I've never used it because I don't know how to sew on a sewing machine. It's been sitting in it's case all these years and I refuse to get rid of it because I do want to learn. Your video came up randomly and I quickly clicked on it. It was very precise. I think the one my mother gifted me was a singer but I will have to take it out and see. That machine is VERY HEAVY so I don't mess with it lol. New subscriber and I will be following. Thank you and I will be binge watching your videos to catch up :-)

    I'm just looking at the instructions (I'm a beginner) for the Singer 4432. Just letting you know, (according to MY instructions in the Singer manual, that are VERY hard to follow)... After the thread leaves the main spool/when you are trying to fill your bobbin, it wraps DIFFERENTLY around that first silver thing(before it heads back to your bobbin.) Different than what Tock shows here. So I guess we have to Look at our OWN manual. I don't know why Singer doesn't just hire this guy TOCK to make videos for them. I can SEE and UNDERSTAND Tock's videos, but the drawings in the Singer manual is really difficult to follow... I'm guessing that each machine wraps the thread it's own way. C'MON Singer! Get this guy to make your videos!!! res.cloudinary.com/singer-sewing/image/upload/v1572777241/Singer-Website-Library/Manuals/Products_manuals/SINGER_4423_Sewing_Machine_bmigod.pdf
