My mother taught me to use a sewing machine when I was six, I'm now 77.
Everyone has this happen,  it's just the way things are with machines, the more times you sort it out the more experienced you become, and know what to look for when you thread it up.
Sew be happy😊.

I've been crushed thinking I had a bum machine! Low and behold I've been hitting each of these speedbumps! THANK YOU for this amazing info! My swear jar won't fill quite as fast anymore 😂

Dang I couldn’t make a single stitch this morning without tangling up and having to take it apart. All I had to do was pull pressure on the two threads. Fixed the whole issue Thanks!

This is probably the best video I’ve found for trouble shooting this issue. Camera work, explanation and solutions. I was super frustrated with my machine

thank you for explaining this. I am new to sewing and have had some problems with thread bunching. And some instances of tread being hard to pull just like you were showing. Now I know what caused that to happen.

Even those of us who aren’t newbies still can  have problems. Pretty much it’s because we have either made an error in threading the top thread or haven’t threaded the bobbin correctly!  For me, this cures my goofs 100%!

Thank you so very much for explaining these sewing "problems" to us.  I'm not a newbie, but, I'm also not an expert.  I've often wondered why they said for you to not turn your wheel in the "opposite" direction.  I knew it could cause problems with your bobbin thread, but, i never knew why that would happen.  I also never knew what could happen if you didn't hold your thread at the beginning of your stitching.  I've always done that, but, never knew the specifics of what would happen when you didn't.   Plus, I've often wondered how the thread take up lever position was important at the end of your sewing.  I try to remember to have it in the uppermost position.  But, i have often had that extra loop of thread under my fabric - and, i never knew why that has happened.  WOW !!!  You've explained so many things that I've been wondering about for so many years.  TYSM for sharing your techniques and knowledge with us.  I appreciate your help.  😻❣️😍

This video is awesome. Been self taught sewing for 3 years and I never learned these basics until now. I thought my machines just had finicky bobbin tension issues

Taking a fashion class and I’m the only one getting my machine messed up - Now I get why, hopefully I’m able to put this into practice and avoid all the mistakes I’ve been making!

Informative.  I have sewn for years and did not know these things. thank you.

Seriously, I thought I was cursed, genuinely cursed because my machine jammed EVERY time I used it and never when someone else did! I actually almost quit sewing today- this video was my last effort. Now I know i'm just not brining my needle up high enough! Thank you so so much!

kudos to you for demonstarating so clearly  the complex ( almost diabolically deceptive) takeup mechanism in the bobbin shuttle.

Mind-blown! I have been making all those mistakes with frustration, thank you so much!

My 14 year old just started sewing. The bobbin kept jamming. She pulled the two threads for a few seconds and everything worked smoothly, again. Thank you!

Omg thank you! I just bought a vintage machine and I love it so much but I keep jamming the thread. I knew I was missing something. Golden video

Thank you very much for sharing this in both a verbal explanation, as well as the visual of the bobbin case, the carriage, the needle, the thread and the fabric.  Very well said and the issue is completely understandable as to why the bobbin thread kept having twins and breaking!  😊

The third problem is the issue I kept having :O thank you so much!!

So I kept getting my thread jammed at the bobbin. Totally forgot to keep tension on the threads when starting. Totally fixed my issue! Thank you!

i’m brand new to sewing with a machine and i was still SO confused after watching the introduction and instruction videos , but this video just completely helped solve my problems i was having, thank you so much for this channel!

I’ve noticed extra thread when I’m sewing, and didn’t know about how it’s best to stop sewing when the take up lever is at the top. Thanks so much! I’ll be sure to follow this tip from now on.
