My boss just gave me the se425. She bought it and never used it. This is the 8th video I've watched and is the most thorough and useful of all of them.

Thank you! Trying to convince a 15yr old boy learning to sew is not just important but a "guy skill" that can be used to make cool stuff is huge!!!!

I am in my 40’s and just got back into sewing again, since my 20’s. I have watched many videos and your channel has become my absolute fave. Nothing against women (because I am one), but I like how you are concise and to the point and thorough with your demonstrations, unlike many of the women that just talk and talk forever. Keep up the awesome job! I will keep watching!

THANK YOU!!!! You are the best I have found with your excellently professional, well paced teaching style, pleasant calm voice, good non-distracting music choice, easy to understand directions
and fun cool appearance and relaxed personality,
You are the perfect example for my son to learn these skills he is wanting to.
You are awesome. What a gift you have and I am so grateful you share it with us all.

Dude. Synchronicity - I was watching this video yesterday and today my aunt is sending me this machine. I'm so stoked. Can't wait to make some band patches and make a denim jacket.

Yes. Professional and great voice. Thanks for not being cutesy or having your cat run over the table or your kids interrupting you.
Thanks for not telling us about your health or your vacation. Especially thank you having your work ready and your cameras set up properly and for teaching us exactly what we tuned in to see. 😊

You are the best, no doubt. Btw, I have that machine and know how to use it but you were so interesting that I watched you all the way through (both ways parts) and now I’m going to SUB!😀

I recently bought a second hand brother machine. I have not sewn a stitch for years. But it’s never too late at 67 I decided to try it again! Lol. You are a fabulous teacher. And I am learning again to sew. Thank you.

This is exactly what I need during this quarantine. I love how you explain things and that SE400 is exactly what I need. I’m a Protestant Bishop and some of my attire requires patches. It’s so much affordable if I can make them myself. Plus a lot of the robes patterns are simple manipulations of each other thanks so much!

[andsewitis]

Sir, thank you so much! This video explained everything perfectly and I was able to make my first embroidered patch with no issues on this machine. Thank you, thank you!!!!

[HNXMedia]

Epic! Wife just gave me this machine as a "hand me down." Cannot wait to use it!

Just wanted to drop by and say, I've watched a tv show we have here in the UK for a couple of years now (The Great British sewing bee) and have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to sew, but have only ever found confusing info about machines and how to get started so didn't know where to start. I stumbled across your channel at 4:30am (lol - blame quarantine) and am now wide awake and desperate to get this machine and start sewing!! I feel like i could do it straight away! Your videos are so to the point and incredibly easy to understand. THANK YOU! I will binge watch some more tomorrow at a more reasonable time haha! Keep doing you, these videos are awesome :)

[ouzarua]

Please, make more videos! Watching and listening to you is very pleasant, you explain EVERYTHING and go straight to the point. There’s nothing in your videos I’d skip or get annoyed with.
I love your background, it’s so geeky and nerdy 😁 And seeing this machine makes me want to have it, so I could make Nightwing patch for myself, lol.
You’re fantastic, please keep teaching us.
Your camera angles are perfect and I love how you describe every step. Or how to choose the right side of the paper. A lot of YouTubers skip things like that, because they’re “so” obvious and talk about something else.
With you, it’s easier to learn. I can literally buy this machine and without any previous experience, turn it on and use it.
What I would like to see? Continue with basics and beginners guide, explain how to use tools and what are they for.

Absolutely, positively enjoy these informative videos! My biggest mistake began when I purchased the wrong size Bobbin ! It sure takes lots of "nesting" to understand what was going on and doing the research.

[Schroeder]

Hello Fellow Wisconsinite! Thanks for your videos. I am new to embroidery and your videos are helping.

[jelynnewatts]

I've had this machine for 2 years and I never opened it. You really explained this so well I can't wait to get the stabilizer in the morning and use my machine. I love the design you did and the music. I didn't know I could get such cool designs.

[rachelbarron]

i have always been interested in learning how to use a sewing machine but felt so discouraged because I need detailed instructions to learn most things. I now feel confident that I can learn from your videos and will be breaking out my never been used sewing machine this week! Thank you for being such a great teacher. You're amazing and appreciated

[justchris]

This is the best sewing videos I’ve seen on YouTube. Your slow, and precise. I think I’m gonna use them for my new hires. Saves time.

[letsgettalkinwithrevpat]

This tutorial was AMAZING. You are an excellent instructor and I loved the camera angles made it so easy to follow. I was gifted this machine and I can’t wait to use it. I subscribed and will be watching all of your tutorials. Thank you so very much!!

[carollarochelle]

Thank you. I have had my machine for 5 years and although I do a lot of sewing I thought the embroidery would be too difficult. Your video is well done and explains everything very clearly.

[jackiejacobs]

Thank you and bless you. You are a good teacher. Please show more work on the 400. I'm so ready to learn all I can.🙏🙏🙏
