Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Set Up Your Machine: Place your sewing machine on a flat surface, ensuring the pedal and cord are easily accessible.
  2. Thread the Machine: Start by inserting the spool of thread onto the spool pin and threading it through the machine according to your machine’s manual.
  3. Load the Bobbin: Wind the bobbin with the same thread and insert it into the bobbin case. Make sure it’s seated properly to avoid jams.
  4. Select the Right Stitch: Choose the appropriate stitch type for your fabric (e.g., straight stitch for regular seams, zigzag stitch for stretch fabric).
  5. Practice a Test Stitch: Before beginning your project, sew a few test stitches on a scrap piece of fabric to ensure everything is running smoothly.
