    Thanks for your easy-to-follow directions! i just got a Brother SE 400 at an estate sale and am excited to sew with it!

    I am also a burly man who is just getting into sewing as I am single now. I'm looking to purchase the Brother SE400 and am watching all the videos on it I can. I appreciate you keeping it all simple and encourage you to do more videos. My only critique is to make sure your right hand doesn't pass in front of the camera to block the view. On some of your videos it happens. Otherwise, excellent tutorials.

      I still want to throw the brother machine out the window. I only use it on rare occasion to embroidery. I have a Husqvarna for regular sewing. I fight with this brother machine every time I try to thread it. 9 easy steps, my big toe!!! I always have to get out the instruction book & watch Burley Sew over and over and over . . .

    Thanks so much for your easy to follow videos. It's been 38 years since I had my own sewing machine and now that the kids are all gone and on their own, I decided to get a new one and my have sewing machines changed. You make it look so easy. Best wishes to you.

    Burley Sew--You are just the BEST teacher! I am new to Brothers, Bernina broke for the first time in its 20 year life right here in the middle of my Christmas sewing!-- but I bought this Brother for my 11 and 9 year old nieces this summer, and although they have NO sewing experience, they are able to follow your instructions very easily and so am I! Nice great machine but man with 5 granddaughters and living 90 miles away from the city, I AM SORELY MISSING THE RUFFLER AND GATHERER FOOTS! Thank you for the work with really clear videography. You are doing lots of us a huge favor, and I'm so very grateful. I have all your videos re. this machine in a ""my favorites" list. You do a great job and you're a great teacher!

  • @BurleySewgoogleplus
    @BurleySewgoogleplus  Před 11 lety

    Yes you thread the the machine the same way as you would to sew. Make sure you pull the thread through the hole of the embroidery foot. Check out some of my other videos, especially the one on how to thread the machine and maybe some of the ones in the embroidery playlist. What is or is not happening when you try to embroider?

    • @BurleySewgoogleplus

  • @1BostonTerrierGirl
    @1BostonTerrierGirl Před 6 lety

    I super LOVE your videos. I have this machine, (the Brother SE400). I know how to thread the machine, but I can't. I have to thread it manually because the needle is too far over to the left hand side, above the throat plate. The needle itself is constantly rubbing against the throat plate, sometimes breaking off needles...It's a mess trying to sew like this! Is there any way I can 'set' the needle to the middle of this machine and 'save' the settings once and for all? Thank-you so much in advance.

    What would make the thread keep coming out from under the thread guide right above the needle?

    • @VRUAN
      @VRUAN Před 8 lety

      +Audrey Lennon There are tension wheels that a thread has to go through. The wheels are inside the channel between step 2 and 3, when the on/off switch is red, wheels are open; green, closed.
      To open the tension wheels while threading the machine is a correct procedure. Do not close the wheels while threading because you will lose your tension and cause bird nesting underneath the bobbin when sew.
      You thread keeps coming out from under the thread guide because the wheels are open. Check to see if the on/off switch is red. If so, the thread has no tension.
      One way to prevent the thread keeps coming out is to turn the switch to green by lowering the presser food level. Be mindful when the switch is green, the machine is alive. If you inadvertently touch the on/off switch, the machine will start sewing and might cause injury.

    Thank you for the post and nice words! Congratulations on the new machine! You can search for websites that offer free embroidery patterns. Some have free libraries, some have a free file of the day/week/month type setup. Most of them require registration. It seems that most of the good designs you have to pay for, especially ones that are licensed. You can also make your own for free. Check out some of my videos on SophieSew. It's free software that you can make your from scratch or by tracing.

  • @lilliestyles7741
    @lilliestyles7741 Před 8 lety

    I'm curious as to know whether or not this machine is good for making iron-on patches. I'm relatively new to embroidery using machines but I am in the market for one that can embroider iron-on patches. Is threading the machine for sewing basically the same process as threading it for embroidery with just a different foot? And do you think this machine is good for making patches? Thank you for the video! :) Subscribed.

    Hi, I just bought my new machine a few weeks ago. I'm using it for the first time because I've been sick., When I first started using it, I had no problem getting the thread to go through the needle on que. I recently changed the needle because it totally broke for no reason as I dropped my needle to begin sewing and since then it does not seem to line up and therefore will not thread for me. I have followed every instruction on doing it but still will not work. Any idea what may be the problem?
