How to use the Mini Sewing Machine for Beginners | Fear, begone!

In this three-part video, I talk about how to use the mini sewing machine from the point of view of an absolute beginner.

It can be very intimidating to figure out all the different 'rituals' that sewists appear to do before they start sewing a project or right after they finish sewing. Today, I do away with the mystery by talking about WHAT all those cryptic sewing rituals are, HOW you can sew using your mini sewing machine and IS THERE ANY TRUTH to all the mini sewing machine advertising videos you see online.

I will be using my KPCB Tech Mini Sewing Machine but you can use this tutorial for any sewing machine in the world.

Learning to sew with a sewing machine can appear to be a daunting task for beginners . But it really doesn't have to be at all. The most important thing is to have fun while sewing and just roll with the mistakes and imperfections.

And this is at the heart of the Sew Not Scary series!

[toapyandfriends]

Thank you for your teaching method ...I didn't know how to move the fabric when I was trying to sew

This is excellent. At age 68 I am a beginner sewer and I just want to be able to make small repairs and hem pants. I have a different model mini sewing machine so I am not sure how to loosen the thread on mine after finish a seam but I will try to figure it out. Thanks

New Subscriber Here my son just bought me a craftbud sewing kit and I'm definitely a beginner😂.i will be binge watching your videos. Thanks😊

Really good tutorial. I find hand sewing tedious but I could never justify buying and learning to use a machine for the small amount of sewing that I actually do. The only way I'll know if a mini machine can stitch two pieces of cloth together like put a new seam in my worn out trousers is to try it, but for the price who cares? Your vid has inspired me to to give it a go.

I have the older version of this. I think it is the ultimate mean machine and it hates me. It kicks and bites! Thanks a lot for your 'How to tame your sewing machine" videos! They are truly useful!!!

I realise this video is a few years old now, however a tip - leave the presser foot lowered whilst you raise the needle at the end of sewing a row. Once the needle is raised, lift the presser foot. It's better for the machine, especially the bobbin race.

Hi,
I am French and a store (Gifi) sells this sewing machine for 15€.
According to some people it is very good but for other it's a big crap.
What are the + and the - ?
What is the maximum fabric thickness? Can we use it on satin?
Currently I don't have a sewing machine

[trushnataneesha]

The handwheel of my mini sewing machine is not rotating smoothly and also lots of thread coming out of the bobbin while stitching. Please help.

[katianafe]

Bibili ako neto sa 12.12 I will bookmark this video. Mahilig ako magtahi tahi ng mga butas diy damit ng cpu monitor hehe

My sewing machine stopped stitching, Though The electricity is coming. I already opened the lower bobbin to see whats the problem . The thread goes into the hook everytime i turn the handwheel the timing is good but everytime i put on the fabric, the the thread does not meet the hook anymore so there is no stitches at all. Please help me i just bought it days ago.

[oliviarichardson]

thank you this video is very helpful, I still have a couple questions when you cut off your thread at the end of making like a line of sewing do you need to knot it so it doesn't come undone or is it fine to leave it and if you make a project how to end it like with a knot or something else?

[sritamakongar]
