I purchased this exact brand last year and had a hard time understanding the threading and features. Thank you so much for the tutorial! This was exactly what I needed to finally begin using it.

My son got this for me over a year ago and I was totally intimidated about learning how to use a sewing machine. Your tutorial was so nice and easy to understand. I've sewn about 30 stitches and now I want an upgrade. 😂

Awesome!! If you want to start picking out your 'upgrade', here's my favorites :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/anydsJuhqsW_lbA.html
I bought mine, Ihave no idea what I'm doing but I'll learn, I'm glad I paid only 24 dollars for it and maybe I could switch to a better one in the future
Thank you so freaking much, idk why i was stuck on the bobbin part for so long😭 I watched the tutorial the company gave on the little manual, but it didnt work for me, i needed a little more help i guess, im so glad i found this thank thank thank you😸😸😸This thing genuinely had me tweaking....
Its perfect for me. I only need to mend my pillow cases and yoga pants.
I bought this sewing machine at ALDI, thankyou for showing us how to use it, I love this little machine, just wish it had zigzag stitch on it, but hey, It was only $29.95, I agree with you about the tension guide, the cotton kept coming out of the needle, I bought this machine for using on quilt pieces for slow stitching and also my paper junk journal craft. It's good for quick sewing, nothing too major. Thankyou.

I bought it because the advert showed Zigzag but unfortunately it doesn't have it . Not bad anyways.
Thanks for the video. I just found a dusty unopened box with this little sewing machine I must have grabbed from Walmart or something for my crafts, who knows how many years ago. Mine is a no-name, slightly different than yours but threads and operates that same way. Except that the bobbin will not stay on the winder. As soon as I start the power it flies off. Even on low the machine goes fast and me trying to guide the thread back and forth immediately pops it off. Mine came already threaded with a bobbin on the front and a bobbin inside, but you showed me how to use a spool of thread. The instructions that come with mine have amusement value but are not very understandable. I can wind bobbins on my regular machine but since I'm using this for crafting, it doesn't matter if the bobbin is a different color. I was happy to find a tutorial after all this time but I guess versions of this are still being sold. I just tried stitching something and it works! So yay, a purchase I didn't even remember making pays off.
Thanks much for this very helpful tutorial! I actually ordered this machine from Amazon this morning, but it will be a week before it arrives. I could kick myself for getting rid of on older model Brother machine my mom bought me for my birthday back when I was a teen in the 70s. I never sewed anything more complicated than simple polyester pull-on jumpers, pants and vests back in the day, lol. My machine had been sitting on a closet floor unused for several years, and nobody in the family wanted it, so I ended up donating it to a thrift store. I bought this Magicfly thing on a whim, primarily to take in several pairs of oversized pants that I have found in thrift stores. Hopefully, I'll be able to accomplish that once I get the machine, with these good instructions. Truthfully, I had been hoping to find an old used sewing machine but have not seen much in my local thrift stores or church rummage sales. I don't shop like I used to anyway but definitely have found well-made clothing I can take in a bit.
Wow this is the most comprehensive video I’ve seen on operating the sewing machine. Thank you so much 😊

Thanks for the tutorial. And yeah I feel that this isn't the one that will be one I stick to in the future. I want to get a better one.

I really like the LX3817 for s starter machine.
This one looks like the better one, I got one, but the power button flew off & by trying to put it back it went inside & can't get it out, I'm very disappointed. It's the one with the knob for the power button.
Excellent tutorial, thank you! Update: my needle broke at first try. Machine somehow wouldn’t move at all!

This is the worst possible ,aching I could have bought for my 9 year old granddaughter. I have been sewing since I was 10 . I thought this would be a perfect size and uncomplicated machine for her to learn on. It couldn’t be further from the truth. The thread breaks , the needle breaks, the tension dsnt work and on top of it the parts are so tiny you can’t even see them to fix. I can’t do it and I can’t expect a 9:year old to be able on her own. What a might are and on top of it Amazon refuses to take it back. BIG MISTAKE. MY ADVICE DO NOT BUY.

You get what you pay for. I think it would be better to spend more money for a better quality machine. I have also been sewing since I was 10 but I had the luxury of learning on a Pfaff which my mom bought when I was born. She is still sewing on it and I am 72 years old. Check out a refurbished machine at your local sewing store, my first one was a White that cost me $10.00 and I sewed on that one for years, straight and zigzag. That began my passion for sewing, the machine was easy to learn to thread, and thread. I now have 10 sewing machines! Only 3 that I use consistently, the others are on display. My oldest machine is a Wilcox & Gibbs electric machine, one of the first machines that was factory produced to be electric. I works but is a chain stitch machine. The foot pedal weighs as much as the machine 😅😅😅. Thank you for your good review because it looks very complicated and hard to thread.
Thanks for the honest feedback on this machine

Oh, no :( I'm sorry! This is a really hard to machine to learn on. Give a little tug to the thread that's coming out of the needle. There should be SOME resistance, but not not enough to be really hard to pull. Loosen the tension dial until you can pull it out without too much difficulty.

No, doesn’t have reverse. Your only option is to raise the presser foot, spin the fabric and sew in the opposite direction.

This video is amazing but I'm am utterly lost beginning at 17:23 (Pulling up the boobin) Everything was straight forward up until that point, but then the instructions and the angle get a little confusing. At 17:43 you say, "you see it just pulled up the loop." I can't see whatever you're seeing and I've been trying on my machine for nearly 2 hours. I really want to get into sewing but this is proving more frustrating than expected. Every video I find on machine gets a little hazy about pulling up the boobin. Videos made by people who probably been sewing for years and could do this in their sleep. Absolute rookie over here. ANY HELP would be appreciated!
