Today I’m continuing the sewing basics for beginners series by walking you through how to get started with you sewing machine.   I love how she shows the basics to how to sew with a sewing machine. Learning how to sew with a sewing machine especially if you’re a beginner can seem a little daunting.  The truth is that the basic mechanics of every sewing machine (no matter the make, model or year) are the same.  Once you’re familiar with a few basics you’ll be able to sit down to any machine and sew!

Here are the basics that the video below covers, and what every good sewist should know.

How to Sew with a Sewing Machine for Beginners

1. How to thread it

For the sewing  machine and for the stitch to operate properly it is imperative that you understand how to thread it.  If you miss a step you’re stitch won’t work.

2. How to adjust tension

Different fabrics and stitches require a different tension setting.  It’s important to know how to adjust it as needed and what the standard setting on your sewing machine is.

3. How to change a needle

Different fabrics and projects require different needles.  It’s also important to change a needle after a sewing project so you’re sewing with a sharp needle.

4. How to clean your sewing machine

It’s important to take care of you sewing machine.  Fabrics fray and can shed.  It’s important to clean out your machine.

5. You should get it serviced annually.

You take care of you machine and it will take care of you.  It’s important that you take time to get your machine serviced so it can run for years.
