Thank you so much. I have my late mother's Kenmore 385, but had no real understanding of how it all works. Your series of videos are great and easy to follow. I am now making decorative pillows for my son. Not bad for a dad.

Thank you so much. I couldn’t figure out my machine for years. Now I’m making masks for

Thank you for all these videos! My mom bought a newer Brother sewing machine and she gave me her old Kenmore 385 from the '90s. I've never used a sewing machine before and the manual was NOT very helpful for a newbie like me. I watched all of your videos on how to get started & now I'm able to sew nice masks for people. Thank you!

Thank you!!! I just inherited my grandmother’s Kenmore sewing machine. Going to start playing with it tonight!

You saved me $250 Joann fabric told me to just drop machine off it will cost that for sure. I followed your whole series cause my needle kept breaking. Doing everything you showed it worked. Bless you, very much appreciate your channel.

Decided to learn how to use this sewing machine, as I've never sewn using a machine, and inherited one from a friend. Today I was hoping to find some kind of online manual, and this tutorial has probably done better than what I could've learned from the manual itself. Awesome explanations! I'm excited to try this out. Thank you!

Wonderful walk through for anyone having no clue how to operate their sewing machine! Came out of this feeling WAY more confident. Thank You!

Thank you! Had the sewing machine for 14 years and was afraid of it! (It wasn't for me, but I just had to learn it to help a new kiddo), very much appreciate your help!

[LordHolley]

Great instruction thank you for doing this series

[sunkislites]

Thank you so much!....I haven't used this machine in years and needed the instructions on this machine

[sweetpea]

Very helpful video!! I have same exact sewing machine. When my neighbor was moving she was throwing the sewing machine away(with all the extra feet, needles & tools in the case still) because she lost the power cord/foot peddle, so I got it and ordered the power cord/foot peddle off of Amazon, works great! But I couldn't figure how to open the bobbin door, but now I can after watching your video. Thank you!

[TheDarDar]

Still, after years later, this is a good video to explain this machine. THANK YOU for posting it. By the way, I LOVE your hardwood floors! I noticed it when you placed the foot pedal down! God Bless.

Thank you. Very informative tutorial. You have help so much. Have had my Kenmore 385 for many years and never thoroughly knew it’s workings. I’m a NYC nurse trying to make home made masks during this crisis. Thank you and God bless you.

[jagdeepsinghrealtor]

Thank you for taking the time to create this video and for posting this.

[patrobosky]

I too want you to know how happy I was to find your tutorial on the 385 series machine. I am also able to finish projects that I have put away.

[rochellehutzell]

How informative this video is!! You are a great teacher and I appreciate your easy-to-follow instructions. I have had a Kenmore machine (new in box that was given to me years ago) that I never dared to open. The instruction booklet that accompanied it is nearly impossible to understand, but with you help I am now on my way to tackling a few small projects. Thank you!!
