Man, it's so nice to finally find a channel where someone takes newbies through the basics... another note, I enjoy having a male present this... makes me realize I'm not the only dude wanting to learn to sew.. lol

Watching a sewing video from a mountain looking man, when I don’t even own a sewing machine.

What day of quarantine is it??? 👀

I am 64 year old farmer who I would have expected that this be the last tutorial that I would think of watching. Barbed wire rips the heck out of clothes. I operate a lot of machines but not one of these. Thanks for teaching in a way that all should model from, non intimidating and clarity off the charts. Keep Inspiring.

I'm so grateful for this! I'm a woman in my 30s who has suddenly just decided to learn to sew...and I don't think I would have figured out my new sewing machine without this video.

My aunt showed me how to sew when I was 10, I'm now 43. I was able to repair a seam on a duvet cover with your video. Not going to win prizes for sewing straight, but that duvet cover will be good for a while longer and I didn't have to buy a new one. Yay for me!

Covid Isolation - Yesterday I was making ammunition - today I'm learning how to sew.
We should do this every year

This video is perfect. Quick, concise, informative. Good angles, lighting, and audio. Thank you, I appreciate this, it helped me get started

This is the best beginner’s video I’ve found and I genuinely appreciate it

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.

This is 1000% the best "introduction to sewing machines" video. I appreciate your way of breaking it down so simply and succinctly. Honestly the machines seem intimidating, but you made it less so. Blessed be.

Your video here has taken a lot of the mystery out sewing. And you've answered the question I've had for the last fifty years--how do sewing machines sew?--with the animation insert @1:19. Thank you. Your entire presentation was concise and cogent. I have subscribed.

And this is how you get a new subscriber. Perfect video

And this is why I love YouTube. I'm 60 y.o. never sewed before, inherited a sewing machine, which has sat in the garage for 2 years. after watching this, I'm getting it out and putting it to work. Thank you for making it look easy 😏

[joankanyago]

Just watched twenty videos even ones from the brand name. You’re the best at explaining this for miles, like it’s not even a conversation. I’ve feared the sewing machine for years and I’m here making lines. I cannot thank you enough

[simonrechner]

Truly Excellent. Appreciate the pace, info, speed of speech, intelligence level, no crappy music. 10/10

My mother was a seamstress and I often wondered how a sewing machine worked as I wasn’t interested back then, silly me.. You have shown me exactly how and I sincerely thank you. I don’t have one I just wanted to know cause I am a mechanic who likes to know how things work.

20 years after my last sewing project, I forgot a bunch of the finer points. This was perfect as a refresher with no nonsense.

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

I'm a beginner seamstress learning to make costumes and am so clueless with sewing. Looks like we have the exact same model too so I know I can rely on your tutorial for my new journey with sewing. I just hope I dont prick myself to death making mistakes XD thanks again for the instruction
