Can you use a sewing machine?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to use mine but i can not seem to get the thread through the needle hole...

Then what do you do after that?

Answer 1

Just barely, with the instruction manual handy.

I have managed to alter my own jeans once though! And sew rips in a few of my husband's shirts. I was so proud of me.

Answer 2

Yes, I started in 7th grade home ec.

You don't say what kind of machine you have, but if you are a beginner, you should throughly read your manual first. It will show you how to thread the machine and the bobbin. Once you have both of them threaded, put yout fabric under the pressure foot, lower the foot. Hold onto the thread tails from the machine and bobbin with one hand and your fabric with the other as you gradually press down on the foot pedal. The needle will start going up and down and the fabric will move forward. After a couple of stitches, let go ot the thread and guide your fabric with both hands. You are sewing!

I might help you to check with a local fabric store or community college to see if they offer a beginning sewing class. You can learn a lot and sewing will be more enjoyable to you and not a frustration. Best of Luck!

Answer 3

Okay, here's an answer to your question, instead of a silly comment:

Get a needle threader. It is a small aluminum thing with the head of a woman on it, and a little wire thing on the end. If you don't have one, you can ask at any fabric/craft store and they will show you what they are. Push the wire end into the eye of the needle, and the thread end through the wire, then pull the threader out of the needle eye. Those needle holes are so darn small that I have to use one all the time.

If you need more help than that, send me a message. I'll help you all I can.

I'm afraid you have a long way to go. After you get the needle threaded using the methods the other answers give you, look for the book for the instructions. Your not going to get far without it.
That's what I did, I read it and reread it, I went over that book so many times. You see, I am a man and handi capped. I now make quilts, in fact I've designed and made I think about fifty quilts, I love it.
I've made specialized quilts and blankets for people. I bought a serger and a leather machine too. It's quite fun and easy once you get the hang of it.

But, as I said, find that instruction book and read it good.

Answer 5

if you don't know how to thread the needle or what to do after that, you should have someone show you how to use the machine. You can very easily screw something up if its not threaded right or if you don't use it right. Go to a fabric store and see if they give demonstrations.

Answer 6

it depends on what kind of machine you have. usually you just hold the needle thread tight and pull up the bobbin thread. pull both threads to the back, and you should be ready to sew. if you need anymore help, just let me know.

Answer 7

have the hole face you and have a fresh scissor cut on the thread, wet it to make it flat, thread the needle, then pull the thread to the back lined up with the bobbin thread, you're all set.

Answer 8

If you don't have a manual for it, search the internet for brand; model number; and manual. You can usually find a free download of the manual.

Answer 9

Believe it or not I can use one,my grandmother showed me when I was very young.

Answer 10

Yes. There pretty fun. I make quilts a lot.
