I'll be sure to keep you as a reference! I'm getting a sewing machine for christmas (shhh! I'm not supposed to know... even though I was practically told that it would be coming in the mail) So I'm super excited when I get to start sewing and your tutorial is gonna help me soooo much with starting out ^_^

hahaha! what's even funnier is that it came in the mail today and they didn't even put it in a separate box! it's in the sewing machine box with the address sticker stuck to the top of it! So much for that surprise! when I told my mom she said for me to hide it from myself... tehe, i just thought I'd share this wonderful story with you ^_^

Oh I am so happy this is here I was trying to read the manual and Was Looooooost this is beautiful in my eyes Im annoyed at my model tho it's holder for the spool is really loose

Hmm have you tried taking a screwdriver to tighten the screws? Otherwise if it's a new model that could be how it's set, but i've never seen it be loose as you said.
I'm glad my tutorial is helping you If there's something you need help on let me know.

The stool falls off so I have a feeling its cause its a small one
I'm just glad its a brother model the manual's steps are hard to get the photos dont really explain but this does

Shunhades In reply to PintofAl [2011-08-07 19:53:43 +0000 UTC]
Oh if the spool falls off then it's cause you definately have the wrong size. Most models do use small, but I guess yours requires a medium or a large. Luckily spools (bobbins as they are known as) are cheap and cost maybe like 2 bucks for a package of 4.
LOL. The infamous brother models. xD Atleast this tutorial should work for most models. xD

Yea Imma get them cause i got the little 10 packs but theu dont stay
I'm hoping to make my own cosplays though I've never sewed in my life

Shunhades In reply to PintofAl [2011-08-07 22:03:40 +0000 UTC]
Yeah they are definately the wrong size then. No biggie Atleast it wasn't something that was broken right?
It just takes practice and patience. I'm sure you can do it I also have a tutorial on some basic hand sewing that may come in handy for you as well if you need it. Cause sometimes you have to sew by hand. Which is a necessary evil. >.<

I can sew hand just nervous about the machine I have a disability so I take more time

Shunhades In reply to PintofAl [2011-08-07 22:12:39 +0000 UTC]
Oh I see. Nothing wrong with that. It's better to take your time than to rush it anyway. So if you have to go slower, then so be it. I bet you'll make amazing cosplays once you get used to the machine. Which should take you like 5 minutes. xD LOL.
I have friends it drives them nuts when I sew, because I don't have steady hands at all. They shake horribly when i'm sewing by hand, and it's not from a disability or anything, it's just how i've always been and they are like..."...She's got shakey hands, and still sews faster than us by hand." LOL. Can I help it if I was sewing by hand long before I even used a sewing machine? XD

I'm actually about to start learning how to sew, and my machine is due to arrive this week (actually, I believe it's the one used in this tutorial o.O If not, it's a very similar Brother model.), and I was looking for a tutorial on dA for how to use it when it gets here. And I found it in this! Thank you so much! It's an amazing reference.

Your welcome.
Feel free to ask me for any information if you need it.
Most brother models tend to be exceedingly similar, so i'm pretty sure this should help you atleast enough to where you can use it right away.
