INTRODUCTION

0:00
Hello and welcome to the first video
0:04
officially of the beginner sewing
0:07
course. So in this course we're going to
0:10
be covering we're going to be covering a
0:13
lot of things and it's going to span for
0:15
the period of 12 week that is 3 months.
0:18
Yes, you heard me right. We're going to
0:19
be on this journey together for 3
0:21
months. I'm going to need your
0:23
participation, your comments because I I
0:26
have a lot in store in the course
0:29
curriculum. I'm going to make this as
0:31
interactive as possible. So, the idea is
0:33
that you're going to be bringing designs
0:35
that you feel that is too difficult for
0:37
you. Um, and I will pick one out of
0:40
those designs and create it aside the
0:42
curriculum I already have. This is an
0:45
introduction video and I'm going to
0:46
place this here. What should you expect?
0:49
You should be expecting three videos
0:52
every week, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and
0:56
Thursdays. Now, I'm going to be touching
0:59
a few things in this introduction video,
1:01
and I want you to pay wrapped attention.
1:04
So, for starters, yes, everybody will
1:06
tell you all the tools that you're going
1:08
to be needing, but let's first talk
1:09
about your mindset. I have seen many
1:12
people grow and improve drastically by
1:15
using YouTube. So do not undermine
1:16
YouTube and because it's free and you
1:19
can come back to it anytime. Pace
1:21
yourself. So this is me pacing myself
1:23
also by posting by uploading three
1:27
videos per week. We're going to make
1:29
this as realistic as possible. We're
1:32
going to be treating a lot of things. So
1:34
make sure you pace yourself. Right. The
1:36
second thing about your mindset I need
1:38
you to do, I need you to get is that
1:41
anything you put your mind to do, you
1:43
can do it. It sounds like motivational
1:45
speech until it actually you actually
1:47
get to that point with discipline of
1:50
course. So make sure that you are
1:52
consistent and you are disciplined and
1:53
that phrase actually works. Anything you
1:56
put your mind to do you can do it. So
1:59
make sure that you are you stay
2:01
disciplined because by week two many
2:02
people are already exhausted and tired.
2:04
By week five many people are are already
2:07
dropping off. So make sure that you
2:09
follow these tutorials. Make sure that
2:11
you follow these course modules because
2:13
they would be aligned. So is this is
2:16
different from you just scattering
2:18
watching here watching there. I have
2:20
arranged it all for you inside this
2:22
video. Now I wrote some I wrote down
2:24
some things because I don't want us to
2:26
forget and I want you to have this. I
2:29
want you to take note of the following
2:30
things that I wrote down here. So the
2:32
first thing is our community.
2:35
It is nice for you to work to build
2:39
yourself but doing it alone can be
2:40
tasking. So I have decided that while
2:44
I'm creating this video while we are
2:46
uploading all of us together it will be
2:49
beautiful if we can come together in a
2:51
community and push ourselves and you
2:55
know have accountability partners and we
2:57
grow. So the idea is it is not free. I
3:00
said it in my video. I know most of us
3:02
will be here from either Facebook,
3:04
Instagram, Tik Tok. I saw a lot of
3:07
comments showing interest whenever
3:09
you're going to be watching this video
3:10
if it's 5 years from now. So, I'm
3:12
introducing you to the community where
3:14
we have accountability partners where um
3:18
where we'll be posting monthly projects,
3:20
be posting monthly projects for you to
3:23
participate in. You would have monthly
3:25
challenges, you know, for you to build
3:27
your portfolio online. That's the idea.
3:29
you have accountability partners that
3:31
you see me emphasizing on accountability
3:33
partners because that is the most
3:34
important one for me growing with other
3:37
people and not just wearing yourself out
3:39
alone is highly important.
3:44
So if I get 20 people that are
3:46
interested in joining this community it
3:49
is a subscription kind of community so
3:51
you pay monthly. If I get 20 people
3:53
interested I'm going to open up the
3:56
community. I'm not just going to open it
3:57
up like that. The next thing I want you
3:59
to take note of is I'm going to be
4:01
sharing books for you to read. Yes,
4:04
reading books is very important. I know
4:06
there's self-help books that one too. It
4:09
be part of what we share. But very
4:11
importantly, we have some pioneers of
4:14
fashion, pioneers of sewing who
4:18
especially pattern drafting and these
4:20
people have compiled PDFs. We have PDFs
4:24
free of charge. This one is free of
4:25
charge. Free of charge. compiled on the
4:28
internet and many people I think many
4:30
people find it difficult to get those
4:31
PDFs. So I will be sharing those PDFs
4:35
but of course in the community it's
4:37
important that you read as much as
4:39
you're watching videos always make up
4:41
even if it's one page per day or one
4:43
pattern or one model per day that you
4:46
would master and keep trying keep trying
4:49
until you become a pro at what you are
4:52
doing. The next thing is get a sewing
4:55
machine because that is the basis of
4:58
your practical. You don't have to buy
5:00
one if you don't have the means. But if
5:02
you have the means, by all means get a
5:05
sewing machine. Now based on your level,
5:08
if you know that you are in an area, I'm
5:09
in Nigeria, our power supply is not
5:11
constant. If you know that you are in an
5:13
area where there is no constant light
5:15
power supply, make sure that you get a
5:17
manual machine that you can use whether
5:20
there's power supply or not. Now if you
5:22
are in a place where there's constant
5:23
electricity, please opt for an electric
5:25
sewing machine. It is super easy. It is
5:28
very very nice. I'm not talking we are
5:30
beginners here. So I'm not talking about
5:32
industrial machine. I'm talking about an
5:33
electric sewing machine, a table top. So
5:35
there are some heavy duty Singer sewing
5:37
machines as electrics. There are some um
5:39
is it Singer? Then there's butterfly. So
5:42
those are the most popular guys. We have
5:44
other people. We have other machines
5:46
too. You can check that out. And if you
5:48
want some, I'm not promoting brand for
5:51
anybody. If you want some
5:52
recommendations, I can give us some
5:55
based on your budget. Now, if you are
5:59
not able to buy a sewing machine, get
6:02
there 100 million more than fashion
6:06
designers, tailor, many of them will not
6:08
be using their sewing machines all the
6:10
time. Many of them will have multiple
6:11
machines. So, be a friendly person.
6:13
Reach out to someone who has a machine
6:15
close to you. It could be a friend,
6:16
could be a mother, someone in your
6:18
church, in your mosque, someone on your
6:20
street. Be friendly. Reach out to them
6:22
that I want to practice my project. You
6:24
can say I will spend 3 hours and let
6:26
that be it. So don't allow any excuse to
6:28
stop you. Remember, someone said this to
6:32
someone said this to me and it stuck
6:33
like a magnet like glue. The most valid
6:37
excuses are the most dangerous ones. You
6:39
have a valid excuse. You are in a place
6:42
where there's no light. You can't afford
6:43
a sewing machine. you can't afford to
6:45
buy materials. They're valid, but
6:47
they're the most dangerous ones because
6:48
they keep you down. So, make sure that
6:50
you don't allow any excuse. You've come
6:52
here, you've watched this first video.
6:54
Don't allow any excuse to keep you from
6:56
doing what you want to do. Now, the next
6:58
thing that you're going to be getting,
7:00
you need to get materials,
7:02
fabrics.
7:04
You do not have to go for the most
7:06
expensive materials.
7:08
I know that this video will be reaching
7:10
even people that are not in Nigeria. So
7:13
we have different kinds of fabric. We
7:15
have cotton ancharas. We have nylon
7:18
ancharas that are more affordable than
7:19
the cotton and caras. We have plain
7:21
cutting fabrics. Plain cotton fabrics
7:24
are like the baseline mo most likely
7:27
like the cheapest of all the materials.
7:29
And the reason why I'm emphasizing
7:32
cotton is that they easy to handle for
7:34
beginners. They stay. If you put them
7:36
and you pin them, they will stay. Unlike
7:39
we have materials on the extreme, we
7:42
have things like Dutches, we have
7:44
Orandi, Oranza. I'm not saying you
7:46
should not try those ones first, but if
7:48
you are a beginner,
7:50
get cotton fabrics. It can be cotton
7:53
checkers. I know we know, I hope we know
7:56
what checkers are. It can be cotton
7:58
checkers, can be cotton stripe, it can
8:00
be plain cotton, anchor cotton and
8:04
similar material. You make sure that you
8:06
start learning the texture of material.
8:08
So any materials with similar textures
8:10
once you buy okay you buy your anchor
8:12
and you feel the texture you buy this
8:14
and you feel so any material with
8:15
similar textures you can get those
8:18
materials as a beginner I forgot this if
8:22
you cannot afford to buy fabrics
8:25
get your mother's old clothes your
8:28
sister's old clothes later you are
8:30
practicing your fashion designing your
8:33
sister's old clothes your brother's old
8:35
clothes especially maxi skirts
8:37
Maxi gowns, you know those ones that
8:39
have fle on them that have enough
8:42
materials that you can turn into
8:46
beautiful other patterns that you don't
8:48
need to, you know, join, join, join,
8:50
join and all of that. Get your mother's
8:53
material, get your friend's clothes,
8:55
your friend's old clothes, use them,
8:56
practice, get your own old clothes, use
8:59
them and you practice. Okay, now let's
9:02
talk about sewing tools. We are starting
9:04
this journey and whether you like it or
9:06
not, you need sewing tools. I wrote down
9:08
some things here that I know that you
9:10
must need as a beginner. First things
9:13
first, I've said sewing machine. The
9:15
next thing is your tape row, your
9:17
measuring tape. I don't have one close
9:19
by. So, the next thing is your measuring
9:22
tape. You can buy machine needles, hand
9:26
needles, safety pins, office pins,
9:30
measuring tapes. I've said measuring
9:32
tapes, pattern paper for drafting
9:35
because we're going to be doing a whole
9:36
lot of drafting. And mind you, it might
9:38
be confusing at first, but do not worry,
9:40
okay? You must buy a seam ripper. A seam
9:43
ripper is highly important because you
9:44
will make mistake. Even me, as a pro, I
9:48
make mistakes. I use my seam ripper. A
9:50
seam ripper basically just is it does
9:53
the work of a razor. It helps you losing
9:56
mistakes. It helps you losing thread.
9:59
So, lining materials. So you need to
10:02
line your fabrics. You've bought your
10:04
cotton fabrics. You will need to line
10:05
them with similar materials. In Nigeria,
10:07
we have MP4. So if you are in a place
10:10
where I think I'll get the international
10:13
name for MP4, but it's a cotton lining.
10:17
Now you can get similar linings like
10:19
suit linings. You check the linings in
10:22
your suits. You see that they shiny. We
10:24
call those ones suit linings. You can
10:27
use satin as lining but it's not for
10:30
every material that use satin materials
10:32
as lin. Satin can also be used as a
10:34
material and it can be used as a lining.
10:37
So if you can afford it, get a measuring
10:39
a measuring ruler. Measuring ruler
10:42
basically you use it when you are
10:45
pattern drafting. Very very important.
10:47
You need an interface. You need to get
10:49
various types of interface. The beauty
10:52
about getting all these things is that
10:53
you can buy as little as half yard. And
10:56
some of these things half yard one yard
10:58
is 700 naira. So in other countries I
11:02
don't know how much they will be you can
11:03
buy half yard. So that's 350. I hope
11:06
that the people who are watching this
11:07
with their data can afford 350. I'm
11:10
trying to um accommodate as many tax
11:13
brackets as possible. So if you can't
11:15
afford buying up to five yards at a
11:19
goal, 10 yards at a go, buy half yard,
11:22
buy one yard and use it to start. So, we
11:25
going to be buying zips. We're going to
11:27
be buying need um we're going to be
11:29
buying threads of different color. But
11:31
make sure that always you have black
11:33
thread and white thread cuz they go for
11:35
most majority because they go for most
11:39
things. So now interfacing
11:42
I think I was trying to talk about
11:43
interfacing before. Interfacing
11:47
interfacing is highly important. We have
11:50
different kinds of interfacing for
11:52
different kind of fabric structure or
11:55
and what you want to achieve with that
11:58
fabric. Right? So we have cotton estate.
12:01
We have things we have an interfacing
12:03
called este in Nigeria. It is basically
12:06
cotton like it has one side that has the
12:08
gum and the other side looks like a
12:10
plain fabric. So another material
12:13
similar to it we call it the nylon
12:16
estate. the nylon estate very similar to
12:18
it but way lighter so it's used for
12:21
different things different um things
12:25
that you want to achieve in your fabric
12:27
we have paper stay which is very very
12:32
light we have the paper stay we have the
12:34
gum stay gum stay is thicker than the
12:37
paper stay it is basically paper it can
12:40
tear um in the subsequent videos I'll be
12:43
showing you different types of
12:44
interfacing and I'll be showing you how
12:46
they look like on camera. So, um we have
12:49
color stay, we have koline mesh, we have
12:52
different types of bonins.
12:55
Now, I want you to take note. Moving on
12:58
to the next thing. Now, I want you to
13:00
take note. I'm not here to teach you
13:02
corsets. If you are a beginner, you have
13:05
no business learning how to draft a
13:08
corset. Yes. because it involves a lot
13:12
of measuring, a lot of addition,
13:16
minusing, and if you've not even learned
13:19
how to draft a basic bodies pattern, you
13:21
have no business learning how to draft a
13:23
corset. Okay, this is a 3 month beginner
13:25
course and you're going to be learning
13:27
beginner level outfits. Okay, are we
13:31
clear on that? Now the next thing is
13:35
if for those of us in the for those of
13:38
us in the community you'll be required
13:40
to submit projects right so you must
13:43
submit your project even if you are in
13:45
your individual houses you must submit
13:47
your project so that's all for this
13:50
intro video in the next videos we're
13:53
going to be learning a lot right and for
13:56
those of us in the community we have
13:58
access to the course curriculum we are
14:00
going to be learning In in the next two
14:03
3 weeks, we're going to be learning how
14:04
to take your proper body measurements.
14:07
We're going to be learning how to paddle
14:09
a manual machine. We're going to be
14:11
learning the parts of a machine, a brief
14:14
history on fashion and sewing. We're
14:17
going to be learning how to draft a
14:19
basic bodies pattern because that is the
14:21
beginning. You're going to be learning
14:22
how to fix a zip because that those are
14:25
the beginning things. Okay? You're going
14:27
to be learning um just as I said before,
14:30
you're going to be learning the types of
14:32
interfacing, the types of line lining,
14:35
the types of fabrics. So, you will learn
14:38
you're going to be learning what all
14:40
these tools that I've mentioned look
14:42
like. So, if you don't know the tools
14:44
I've mentioned, it's fine. It's perfect.
14:46
I'm going to be bringing them here on
14:48
camera for you to see them. So for the
14:50
community, the price of the community
14:52
per month for subscription is 5,000
14:56
naira. So you can pay yearly and you can
14:59
pay monthly. This is very affordable and
15:02
open to all. If I get people who are
15:04
interested up to 20 people and then I'll
15:06
open up the community. Now the for those
15:10
of us that are not Nigerians and would
15:12
love to join the community, it is hosted
15:14
on next huge your preferred currency. So
15:17
you can pay and the link will be in the
15:19
description. I can't wait to go on this
15:21
journey with all of you. See you guys in
15:24
our class.

And by the end of this particular class, you're going to be given a project to

and
0:57
57 secondes
I'm excited to go on this journey with all of you. This lesson we're going to be
talking about sewing machines, the types of sewing machines. I'm going to
1:04
1 minute et 4 secondes
be giving us a practical view on the parts, the different parts of sewing
machines, a practical view of my own machines that I own. I'm going to be
1:11
1 minute et 11 secondes
explaining the parts to us, what these parts do. I'm going to be giving us
briefly how to paddle a manual machine.
1:18
1 minute et 18 secondes
And your project is waiting for you at the end of this at the end of this lesson.
So, please do not leave this video halfway. Watch this video to the
1:26
1 minute et 26 secondes
end and see what I have in store for you people. Briefly, let's talk about the
different types of sewing machines that we have. For complete beginners,
we have three different categories of sewing
1:33
1 minute et 33 secondes
machines. So, basically, we have the general and the portable sewing
machines. Those are the domestic sewing machines that we have. I know
many people will classify it as you know
1:41
1 minute et 41 secondes
manual, electric and different types of sewing machine. But the ones that
you can carry, you know, the ones you can the blackheads, the simple
portable
1:49
1 minute et 49 secondes
sewing machines, those are the portable domestic sewing machines that we
have.
1:52
1 minute et 52 secondes
So both the so both the manual the table top the portable everything falls
under the domestic sewing machine. And then
2:00
2 minutes
the second category of sewing machines that we have is the specialized craft
sewing machines. Now we do you guys know I know maybe some of us might
not know
2:07
2 minutes et 7 secondes
some many of us would know that there are machines that are specially
dedicated to button holes. I mean button holes just as the name implies the
hole where you use to put your button in.
2:18
2 minutes et 18 secondes
There are special machines, heavy duty machines dedicated to such um
task.
2:23
2 minutes et 23 secondes
There are special machines dedicated to finishing heming of dresses. Many
different functions that special machines have been. So these guys are
heavy duty. They're computerized to
2:31
2 minutes et 31 secondes
perform one or very few functions. So they don't basically they don't just sew
clothes. They perform very few functions in bringing the whole outfit
together.
2:41
2 minutes et 41 secondes
And then the third type of machine that we have briefly before we go into
what the what me I'll consider the main part of this course is the industrial
sewing
2:49
2 minutes et 49 secondes
machines. And I want your mind to go industrial like a whole room full of
sewing machines. Machines that actually
2:57
2 minutes et 57 secondes
you need to see what China is doing of industrial sewing machines. I know
we have the uh the ones that you know it's like a very huge table perfect

drive but no I'm not talking about those ones. I'm talking about industrial.
Yes, I know that the ones in our houses many fashion designers use is is very
much considered industrial machines but we even have machines that sew
leather.
3:17
3 minutes et 17 secondes
Let's not think only fabrics now let's think uh shoe making bag making and
people that make furnitureures you know they do a lot of stitching. So think
in
3:26
3 minutes et 26 secondes
those kinds of machines you can imagine how heavy duty they would be. So
let's go into the next part of this model. See you guys there. This is the full
an old
3:35
3 minutes et 35 secondes
model of an electric machine that I currently have. Okay. So, we started from
the spool pin at the back here. So, this is the spool pin. This and this.
3:45
3 minutes et 45 secondes
This is the back of the machine. This is for reading your thoughts.
3:53
3 minutes et 53 secondes
POV of an old electric machine. Let's go to the front back. Starting from the
spool pin at the back here. And so, this is the hand wheel. You you turn it
4:02
4 minutes et 2 secondes
towards you like this. So, it's usually used to sew towards you. Everything
goes forward. Once your um your hand wheel
4:10
4 minutes et 10 secondes
goes backwards, it means that you are sewing rubbish or it means that you
are doing a top a back stitch. A back stitch is used to um finish up your
sewing. So
4:19
4 minutes et 19 secondes
you must do a back stitch. If not, your threads would lose. Let's not get
ahead of ourselves. Let's just go carefully into the other parts of the
machines.
4:27
4 minutes et 27 secondes
Okay. So the next part that we have, we have talked about the spool pin at
the back. We talked about the hand wheel.
4:33
4 minutes et 33 secondes
And then let's talk about the thread guide. This is the thread guide. is
different in that place. So basically it just holds the thread holds the thread
4:40
4 minutes et 40 secondes
is a thread guide and the thread guide is right before the tension dial. This is
the tension dial. The tension dial you can see the numbers here. So the
4:47
4 minutes et 47 secondes
more you tighten it, the more um harder it is for your thread to pass. And
you can use it when you're sewing different textures of fabric. So some
people
4:55
4 minutes et 55 secondes
usually have issues if your tension dial is too tight for a light fabric. Your your
um thread begins to just cut. your
5:03
5 minutes et 3 secondes
thread to be snapping unnecessarily. So that is the use of the tension dial.
And then we have the needle. The needle I think I don't know if I should still
5:11
5 minutes et 11 secondes
explain what the needle is used for. It will carry the thread in and out of your
fabric. So we have the presser foot.
5:17
5 minutes et 17 secondes
This is the presser foot of a basic um electric machine. So you press it down
to sew. You can see press it down to sew. So this is this metal tit here.
5:27
5 minutes et 27 secondes
Take a look at it on camera. I don't think it's clear here. So it's this metal
teeth in between this this metal.
5:34
5 minutes et 34 secondes
It looks like a teeth basically. This is what helps your fabric to move forward.
5:39
5 minutes et 39 secondes
What makes fabric moving forward easy is your bobbing. Your bobbing
basically holds your thread under your machine.
5:46
5 minutes et 46 secondes
Your bobbing goes inside your bobbing case. And then your bobbing case,
there's a method of um I'm going to be
5:54
5 minutes et 54 secondes
showing us that. So there's a method. So you put your you allow your thread
to come out like this. I hope you can see
5:59
5 minutes et 59 secondes
the thread. And then you put your your um your bobbing inside your bobbing
6:07
6 minutes et 7 secondes
case and make sure that it follows. So I I hope you can see the way the
bobbing case looks. It is relatively similar in all machines,
6:16
6 minutes et 16 secondes
right? So you make sure you put your bobbing case to look like this. Then
you
6:23
6 minutes et 23 secondes
bring it to this point that there's like an opening.
6:28
6 minutes et 28 secondes
and you pass it down. Make sure that it comes down to this opening. So
yours might be slightly different. Newer model
6:37
6 minutes et 37 secondes
models are slightly different but it should come to this open. This in some
models this is not it's not this wide.
6:44
6 minutes et 44 secondes
That is how you thread your bobbing inside your bobbing case. And it goes
under here. So you must hear a click sound for you to know. Should be a
very slight click sound.
6:55
6 minutes et 55 secondes
not hearing my click sound but it should go under your sewing machine right
below the So
7:03
7 minutes et 3 secondes
next we have the reverse lever. The reverse lever is different in the manual
machine it goes up and down while in the
7:10
7 minutes et 10 secondes
electric machine goes in and out. So basically you just press this to do a
reverse stitch. That's the back stitch I
7:20
7 minutes et 20 secondes
was talking about is a reverse stitch basic. So, the next one we have is the
presser foot lever.
7:27
7 minutes et 27 secondes
Let's go to the back because it's at the back. Camera is bad. But this is the
presser foot lever. It goes up and down.
7:33
7 minutes et 33 secondes
Goes up and down like this. It's at the back. So, the presser foot, it controls
the presser foot. I've not talked about the presser foot. This is the presser
foot. Presser foot can move up and down.
7:42
7 minutes et 42 secondes
So, the presser foot goes down. Look at how it works. Controls the presser
foot. The presser foot goes down.
7:48
7 minutes et 48 secondes
So, when you raise it up, the presser foot goes up. So presser foot lever
controls the presser foot. And yes, you can change your presser foot. Change
7:56
7 minutes et 56 secondes
your presser foot to different types we have. So if you want to sew gathers, if
you want to sew an invisible zip, you
8:04
8 minutes et 4 secondes
can change your presser foot. If you want to sew thin lines, there are so
many different types of presser foots that you can change. And I would
advise
8:11
8 minutes et 11 secondes
you if you're using um if you're using a specific type of machine, get spare
parts. You see these things? You see
8:20
8 minutes et 20 secondes
this one? I'm touching this one. I don't know the name. You see these things?
8:24
8 minutes et 24 secondes
Anywhere that you can screw. Basically, it's a screwable. I can move the
screw.
8:27
8 minutes et 27 secondes
I know you will not be able to see it clearly, but look at it. This
8:35
8 minutes et 35 secondes
back you should be able to change all of those things. Even your bobbing
case, you can buy an extra bobbing case. You can buy so many bobbins in
the market.
8:44
8 minutes et 44 secondes
You can buy extra things so that when you have an emergency and even
your feed dogs, you can buy extra ones in the
8:51
8 minutes et 51 secondes
market. Although a machine like this that is old, you might not necessarily
see this type readily in the market. But
8:59
8 minutes et 59 secondes
for manual machines, you should be able to see it easily. The next one is the
stitch selector dial. The stitch this is
9:06
9 minutes et 6 secondes
the stitch selector dial adjust how long each stitch will be. And this is the
stitch width dial. adjust how wide
9:13
9 minutes et 13 secondes
especially for if you are using a manual machine you will not have this
because a manual machine only sews straight lines.
9:20
9 minutes et 20 secondes
So um the stitch width width as in wideness the stitch width dial is for zigzag
and decorative stitches. So you
9:28
9 minutes et 28 secondes
use it to you know you can have tiny zigzags, you can have medium zigzags,
you can have big zigzags and all of that. I'm just briefly going to show us
9:36
9 minutes et 36 secondes
how to thread your machine. It is different for everybody and I'm going to
show just the parts this exact same things I've showed you here. It is the
9:45
9 minutes et 45 secondes
exact same names and parts in your manual show sewing machine. So I'm
going to be teach I'm going to be showing us that in the sewing machine in
the
9:53
9 minutes et 53 secondes
manual. Okay. So before we go there, let's see how we thread our needle.
Just basically like the manual, you put your thread on your spool pin at the
back.
10:01
10 minutes et 1 seconde
You pass it through your your thread is a thread holder now. Pass it through
your tension disc, right? come out and I don't think I mentioned the name of
this
10:10
10 minutes et 10 secondes
and you pass it through here. Tie your needle. You're just going to hold your
hand wheel. Your hand wheel is at this side. Going to hold your hand wheel
and
10:19
10 minutes et 19 secondes
move it forward. So, as you're moving it forward, your needle, your needle
should be going inside. And then you're going
10:25
10 minutes et 25 secondes
to use the thread to pick up the thread on the bobbin. Okay? So, that is how
you start sewing. So you must have two
10:33
10 minutes et 33 secondes
threads, one from up, one from down, but they both should be up. You
should be seeing two threads, two sets of threads
10:41
10 minutes et 41 secondes
on top of the sewing machine. So that's it for our electric machine. Let's go
to our manual machine.
10:48
10 minutes et 48 secondes
Okay, so this is the manual machine. You see this one has a table. Although
the the the table is sold differently, the
10:55
10 minutes et 55 secondes
head is sold differently. This this whole black head, you call it black head.
Basically, it's the manual
11:02
11 minutes et 2 secondes
machine. Now, you see mine has an electric an electric motor attached to
11:09
11 minutes et 9 secondes
it. It has I think I'm going to unscrew it. I hate unscrewing this thing, but just
to show you guys this thing.
11:17
11 minutes et 17 secondes
I don't even know what the name is, but it has that thing. And then I have to
remove it totally.
11:28
11 minutes et 28 secondes
So basically it has that and this electric motor. There are different sizes but
this is like the most heavy
11:34
11 minutes et 34 secondes
duty. It s works with speed. So this it's in two parts. There's this motor.
11:42
11 minutes et 42 secondes
So this is the pedal that is attached to it with a and then we look at the other
part of our manual machine. So where do we start from?
11:50
11 minutes et 50 secondes
This is our spool pin. We have two spool pins. See one down here and one up
here.
11:56
11 minutes et 56 secondes
I usually use this one up here. Or if I'm using or if I'm using one of my big
threads,
12:05
12 minutes et 5 secondes
right? I just put the thread on the floor, right? Basically, the thread stays on
the floor. Just imagine the thread is on the floor and it passes here like this.
12:14
12 minutes et 14 secondes
So, this is our hand wheel. So, it's my own hand wheel that connects this.
Let's call it our rope.
12:22
12 minutes et 22 secondes
Our electric rope. It connects this hand electric this electric rope to my
electric motor. Okay. So this is the
12:31
12 minutes et 31 secondes
thread guide. You can basically pass you pass from Yes. So from the spool
pin
12:39
12 minutes et 39 secondes
here pass it to the thread guide and to the tension disc. This is what I want.
12:49
12 minutes et 49 secondes
I can't move the light. Sorry, that is you pass it through this hole here,
12:58
12 minutes et 58 secondes
the hole inside this. So this lever now, you see this? This is the tension disc,
this lever. And then this there's a tiny
13:06
13 minutes et 6 secondes
hole here that you pass it through. Very unnecessary in my whole opinion
because it removes by the way. And then you let me erase the needle up.
13:17
13 minutes et 17 secondes
Okay, so this is the needle. The needle faces sideways. So you thread. So I'm
going to show us how to thread it. But
13:24
13 minutes et 24 secondes
I'm just naming it now. So who remembers what the name of this is before I
say it. This is our presser foot. Now under
13:32
13 minutes et 32 secondes
here, this is our thread dogs.
13:38
13 minutes et 38 secondes
Okay. I hope you can see it. It's our feed dogs. Okay. So now under it, we
have our bobbins.
13:49
13 minutes et 49 secondes
Exactly the way the This is the bobbing case. This is the bobbing
13:57
13 minutes et 57 secondes
I explained the other time. Put it inside. Make sure your thread is coming out.
Then you allow it to touch this
14:06
14 minutes et 6 secondes
tiny opening. Once it's set inside, you push it to this. See, this one is
14:13
14 minutes et 13 secondes
smaller than that other one. that this place is in alignment with the hole that
is there. So, there's a hole that is there. There's so much that I can't show
14:22
14 minutes et 22 secondes
you, but in subsequent videos, I'll be trying as much as possible. This is the
reverse lever. This is it. You can see
14:30
14 minutes et 30 secondes
the numbering. So, once you bring it up like this, the the stitches sew
backwards. It sews in reverse. Once you bring it down, it continues to sew
14:39
14 minutes et 39 secondes
normally. Now the less the number numbering here is 6 7 8 10 12 this 18 or
14:47
14 minutes et 47 secondes
16 16 20 30. So the smaller the number the looser the stitches. So once it
comes up here the stitches become tighter right it's like they're trying
14:55
14 minutes et 55 secondes
to it's like um it's an equivalent to something per second in my own opinion.
15:02
15 minutes et 2 secondes
That's the way that's the way I interpret it right stitches per second but that's
not it obviously.
15:09
15 minutes et 9 secondes
So, um I'm going to be showing us the foot pedal of the manual machine. I've
shown us the one that I use for the electric motor, but then I'm going to be
15:17
15 minutes et 17 secondes
showing us in a minute for the manual machine. I just want to make sure
that I've covered everything that is here. So, you see this is a very simple
setup.
15:25
15 minutes et 25 secondes
You see that obviously there is no um stitch selector dial. It is just the
reverse lever that is here. There's no
15:33
15 minutes et 33 secondes
stitch selector dial. There is no stitch length dial. Okay, this is the stitch
stitch length dial that is that is doubling as the reverse lever.
15:44
15 minutes et 44 secondes
Okay, so let me show us the under part of this sewing machine that makes it
a full machine. The electric one that I
15:52
15 minutes et 52 secondes
use. This is the manual one. Right. So now if you move the wheels, that one
moves automatically.
15:59
15 minutes et 59 secondes
That one moves automatically. So this is connected to this wheel and then
you use this rope right to connect to the hand
16:06
16 minutes et 6 secondes
wheel up. This is the wheel below right and you see once I move it the um
pedal we call it the pedal the pedal moves
16:15
16 minutes et 15 secondes
also. So once the balance wheel under moves the pedal moves. Now we'll be
going briefly on how to paddle the machine. All you just need to do is turn
the machine turn the hand lever.
16:26
16 minutes et 26 secondes
You all you just need to do is to turn the hand wheel towards you basically
towards you towards you and then you
16:33
16 minutes et 33 secondes
start you make sure that your leg make sure that your two feet are on the
under part of the machine like this
16:40
16 minutes et 40 secondes
ready to be in hand wheel you make sure that you turn the hand wheel
towards you and let's be in sync. So the reason why this will not move
properly is because the electric is still connected.
16:53
16 minutes et 53 secondes
Let's try connecting the manual. This is what we use to connect the manual. I
connect it to the big wheel under.
17:06
17 minutes et 6 secondes
Connect it to the big wheel under.
17:14
17 minutes et 14 secondes
So, it's connected now. You see how much more fing?
17:21
17 minutes et 21 secondes
Take a video of yourself trying to paddle your machine.
17:27
17 minutes et 27 secondes
We have learned the parts of a machine and we briefly learned how to
paddle a manual machine. If you are using an electric machine,
17:36
17 minutes et 36 secondes
I'm going to give you another assignment. Before I forget, this is how you
thread your manual machine. Put your
17:43
17 minutes et 43 secondes
thread on your spool pin. Pass it through this thing we're talking about.
17:48
17 minutes et 48 secondes
Okay. cannot remember the name. Pass it through your tension disc, right?
Tension dial.
17:57
17 minutes et 57 secondes
Let's mix the names together. Then pass it through here. Then pass it
through here.
18:06
18 minutes et 6 secondes
Okay. Drag it long enough.
18:12
18 minutes et 12 secondes
Pass it through.
18:16
18 minutes et 16 secondes
and pass it through your needle like this. You see what I'm doing? I'm trying
to raise the needle up. Make sure that you raise the needle up. Thread your
18:25
18 minutes et 25 secondes
needle. Sometimes, for those of us that use glasses, it's really, really tiny.
18:31
18 minutes et 31 secondes
And then you see what I was explaining for the electric. You use your hand to
on the hand wheel. You see the other
18:39
18 minutes et 39 secondes
thread that just came up? Wait to zoom in. See the other thread that just
came up?
18:45
18 minutes et 45 secondes
So the under thread, this is the under thread. You see me pulling it. This is
the thread on top. This is the thread from the bobbin that I just showed us.
18:55
18 minutes et 55 secondes
This is the thread on top. Okay, remember that I said I was going to give us
two projects, especially for those of
19:02
19 minutes et 2 secondes
us using especially for those of us using the manual machine.
19:08
19 minutes et 8 secondes
So I want to use this stripe fabric to perfectly give an example of what I want
to explain and the project I want to
19:16
19 minutes et 16 secondes
give you to work on. Now you are going to be sewing straight lines and all
you just need to do is you have the choice.
19:26
19 minutes et 26 secondes
You have the liberty to choose either between paper or a fabric. See look at
my fabric is not that big. So this is
19:33
19 minutes et 33 secondes
what my fabric looks like. And it does not have to be stripe fabric. I know that
some people now God will help you.
19:40
19 minutes et 40 secondes
So it does not have to be striped fabric. You can rule your own lines.
19:44
19 minutes et 44 secondes
Take a pen and rule your lines. Let the lines be straight. And now I want you
to sew along those lines. So we're going to
19:53
19 minutes et 53 secondes
be learning how to sew straight lines for this first week.
19:57
19 minutes et 57 secondes
Um on an average it should take you between one to two days to learn how
to do a basic paddling pedling of your
20:06
20 minutes et 6 secondes
machine. So now we want to make your hands stable. You want to make
your feet and your hands to be in alignment. So I
20:15
20 minutes et 15 secondes
want you to sew a straight line. So you're going to take your fabric, right?
And then you're going to sew this.
20:26
20 minutes et 26 secondes
Okay.
20:34
20 minutes et 34 secondes
So see basically what I want us to do is you can see my thread to sew on that
20:42
20 minutes et 42 secondes
straight line and your own does not have to be straight and aligned.
Remember that you
20:48
20 minutes et 48 secondes
are a beginner. Okay. So all you just need to do is before we create the
community, all you just need to do is
20:57
20 minutes et 57 secondes
before we create the community um do your own your own version and tag
21:04
21 minutes et 4 secondes
me on Instagram, on Facebook, on Tik Tok. I don't know if they tag on
YouTube, but yes. So I'll be expecting
21:13
21 minutes et 13 secondes
feedback from us. See you in the next class. Bye.
21:21
21 minutes et 21 secondes
So she says she wants to tie. Now tying is not the word. You're going to back
stitch. All right. You need to do a
21:28
21 minutes et 28 secondes
reverse stitch. So this is the practical what I was talking about. Now you're
going to raise this lever up. All right.
21:35
21 minutes et 35 secondes
And then sew. So it will go back.
21:39
21 minutes et 39 secondes
Right. See it's going sewing back. So now you put the lever back down. Yes.
You sew again.
21:46
21 minutes et 46 secondes
Yeah. So it's not supposed to be that long. It's supposed to be just up down
like 2 seconds up down. Okay.
21:52
21 minutes et 52 secondes
Oh yeah. Oh my god. You're not serious.
21:59
21 minutes et 59 secondes
I'm not serious. Oh yeah. Turn the fabric like this.
22:04
22 minutes et 4 secondes
Push. No. No. Like let the needle be inside. Okay.
22:07
22 minutes et 7 secondes
Let the needle be inside first. Use your hand.
22:10
22 minutes et 10 secondes
Mhm. Then raise the presser foot. Then turn the fabric like this. Yes.
22:21
22 minutes et 21 secondes
You see, it's not that hard. I tried.
22:33
22 minutes et 33 secondes
Let's see what you did. Hey, right.

the second category of sewing machines that we have is the specialized craft
sewing machines. Now we do you guys know I know maybe some of us might
not know
2:07
2 minutes et 7 secondes
some many of us would know that there are machines that are specially
dedicated to button holes. I mean button holes just as the name implies the
hole where you use to put your button in.
2:18
2 minutes et 18 secondes
There are special machines, heavy duty machines dedicated to such um
task.
2:23
2 minutes et 23 secondes
There are special machines dedicated to finishing heming of dresses. Many
different functions that special machines have been. So these guys are
heavy duty. They're computerized to
2:31
2 minutes et 31 secondes
perform one or very few functions. So they don't basically they don't just sew
clothes. They perform very few functions in bringing the whole outfit
together.
2:41
2 minutes et 41 secondes
And then the third type of machine that we have briefly before we go into
what the what me I'll consider the main part of this course is the industrial
sewing
2:49
2 minutes et 49 secondes
machines. And I want your mind to go industrial like a whole room full of
sewing machines. Machines that actually
2:57
2 minutes et 57 secondes
you need to see what China is doing of industrial sewing machines. I know
we have the uh the ones that you know it's like a very huge table perfect
direct
3:07
3 minutes et 7 secondes
57 secondes Je suis ravie de commencer cette aventure avec vous. Dans
cette leçon, nous allons parler des machines à coudre, et plus précisément
des différents types de machines à coudre.

1:04
1 minute et 4 secondes
je vais vous présenter de manière pratique les différentes pièces d'une
machine à coudre, en vous montrant notamment mes propres machines.

1 minute et 11 secondes
je vais vous expliquer le rôle de chaque pièce. Je vais également vous
montrer brièvement comment utiliser une machine à coudre manuelle.

1:18
1 minute et 18 secondes
Votre projet vous attend à la fin de cette leçon. Alors, ne quittez pas la vidéo
en cours de route. Regardez-la jusqu'au bout
1:26
1 minute et 26 secondes
et découvrez ce que je vous ai préparé. Pour résumer, parlons des différents
types de machines à coudre. Pour les débutants complets, il existe trois
catégories de machines à coudre :

1:33
1 minute et 33 secondes

Il y a donc les machines à coudre classiques et les machines portables. Ce

sont les machines à coudre domestiques. Je sais que beaucoup les classent
ainsi :

1:41
1 minute et 41 secondes
manuelles, électriques et différents types de machines à coudre. Mais celles
que l’on peut transporter, les machines à coudre portables simples,

1:49
1 minute et 49 secondes

ce sont les machines à coudre domestiques portables.

1:52
1 minute et 52 secondes
Donc, les machines manuelles, les machines de table et les machines
portables font toutes partie de la catégorie des machines à coudre
domestiques.
Je parle de machines à coudre, mais non, je ne parle pas de celles-là. Je parle
de machines industrielles. Oui, je sais que celles que nous utilisons chez
nous, notamment chez les créateurs de mode, sont considérées comme des
machines industrielles, mais il existe même des machines pour coudre le
cuir.

3:17
3 minutes et 17 secondes
Ne pensons pas seulement aux tissus, pensons plutôt à la fabrication de
chaussures, de sacs et de meubles. Vous savez, ils font beaucoup de
couture. Alors, imaginez…

3:26
3 minutes et 26 secondes

avec ce genre de machines, vous pouvez vous représenter leur robustesse.

Passons à la suite de ce modèle. À tout à l'heure ! Voici le modèle complet
d'une ancienne machine électrique que je possède actuellement.

3:35
3 minutes et 35 secondes

Commençons par le porte-bobine à l'arrière. Voici le porte-bobine. Ceci et

ceci.

3:45
3 minutes et 45 secondes

Voici l'arrière de la machine. Ceci est pour lire vos pensées.

3:53
3 minutes et 53 secondes
Point de vue d'une vieille machine électrique. Passons de l'avant à l'arrière.
En commençant par le porte-bobine à l'arrière. Et voici le volant. Vous le
tournez
4:02
4 minutes et 2 secondes
vers vous comme ceci. Il est généralement utilisé pour coudre vers vous.
Tout va vers l'avant. Une fois que votre volant
4:10
4 minutes et 10 secondes Si le fil recule, cela signifie que vous cousez
n'importe comment ou que vous faites un point arrière. Le point arrière sert
à terminer votre couture. Donc,

4:19

4 minutes et 19 secondes

vous devez faire un point arrière. Sinon, vos fils risquent de se détacher.
N'allons pas trop vite. Passons d'abord aux autres parties de la machine.

4:27
4 minutes et 27 secondes

Bien. Passons à la partie suivante : nous avons parlé du porte-bobine à

l'arrière et du volant.

4:33

4 minutes et 33 secondes

Parlons maintenant du guide-fil. Voici le guide-fil. Il est différent à cet

endroit. Il maintient simplement le fil.

4:40

4 minutes et 40 secondes

C'est un guide-fil, et il se trouve juste avant la molette de tension. Voici la

molette de tension. Vous pouvez voir les chiffres ici. Donc,

4:47

4 minutes et 47 secondes

plus vous serrez, plus il est difficile pour le fil de passer. Vous pouvez
l'utiliser pour coudre des tissus de différentes textures. Certaines personnes

4:55

4 minutes et 55 secondes

ont généralement des problèmes si la molette de tension est trop serrée

pour un tissu léger. Le fil commence à couper.

Plus vous serrez la molette de tension, plus le fil aura du mal à passer. Vous
pouvez l'utiliser pour coudre des tissus de textures différentes. Certaines
personnes
4:55
4 minutes et 55 secondes
ont généralement des problèmes si la molette de tension est trop serrée
pour un tissu léger. Le fil commence à couper.
5:03
5 minutes et 3 secondes
le fil casse inutilement. Voilà à quoi sert la molette de tension. Ensuite, nous
avons l'aiguille. L'aiguille… Je ne sais pas si je devrais encore
5:11
5 minutes et 11 secondes
expliquer à quoi sert l'aiguille. Elle fait passer le fil à travers le tissu. Nous
avons maintenant le pied-de-biche.

5:17
5 minutes et 17 secondes
Voici le pied-de-biche d'une machine électrique basique. On appuie dessus
pour coudre. Vous voyez, on appuie dessus pour coudre. C'est cette petite
pièce métallique. 5:27

5 minutes et 27 secondes

Regardez à la caméra. Ce n'est pas très clair ici. Il s'agit de ces dents en
métal entre ces pièces métalliques.

5:34
5 minutes et 34 secondes
It looks like a teeth basically. This is what helps your fabric to move forward.
5:39
5 minutes et 39 secondes
What makes fabric moving forward easy is your bobbing. Your bobbing
basically holds your thread under your machine.
5:46
5 minutes et 46 secondes
Your bobbing goes inside your bobbing case. And then your bobbing case,
there's a method of um I'm going to be
5:54
5 minutes et 54 secondes
showing us that. So there's a method. So you put your you allow your thread
to come out like this. I hope you can see
5:59
5 minutes et 59 secondes
the thread. And then you put your your um your bobbing inside your bobbing
6:07
6 minutes et 7 secondes
case and make sure that it follows. So I I hope you can see the way the
bobbing case looks. It is relatively similar in all machines,
6:16
6 minutes et 16 secondes
right? So you make sure you put your bobbing case to look like this. Then
you
6:23
6 minutes et 23 secondes
bring it to this point that there's like an opening.
6:28
6 minutes et 28 secondes
and you pass it down. Make sure that it comes down to this opening. So
yours might be slightly different. Newer model
6:37
6 minutes et 37 secondes
models are slightly different but it should come to this open. This in some
models this is not it's not this wide.
6:44
6 minutes et 44 secondes
That is how you thread your bobbing inside your bobbing case. And it goes
under here. So you must hear a click sound for you to know. Should be a
very slight click sound.
6:55
6 minutes et 55 secondes
not hearing my click sound but it should go under your sewing machine right
below the So
7:03
7 minutes et 3 secondes
next we have the reverse lever. The reverse lever is different in the manual
machine it goes up and down while in the
7:10
7 minutes et 10 secondes
electric machine goes in and out. So basically you just press this to do a
reverse stitch. That's the back stitch I
7:20
7 minutes et 20 secondes

5:34
5 minutes et 34 secondes

Ça ressemble à des dents. C'est ce qui permet à votre tissu d'avancer.

5:39
5 minutes et 39 secondes
Ce qui facilite l'avancement du tissu, c'est la bobine. La bobine maintient le
fil sous la machine.

5:46
5 minutes et 46 secondes
La bobine se place dans le boîtier de la bobine. Et pour le boîtier de la
bobine, il y a une méthode que je vais vous montrer.

5:54
5 minutes et 54 secondes

Voici donc la méthode. Vous laissez le fil sortir comme ceci. J'espère que
vous voyez.

5:59
5 minutes et 59 secondes
le fil. Ensuite, vous placez la bobine dans le boîtier de la bobine et vous vous
assurez qu'elle suit bien.

6:07
6 minutes et 7 secondes

en veillant à ce qu'elle suive bien. J'espère que vous voyez à quoi ressemble
le boîtier de la bobine. C'est relativement similaire sur toutes les machines.

6:16
6 minutes et 16 secondes
n'est-ce pas ? Assurez-vous donc de positionner le boîtier de canette comme
ceci. Ensuite,
6:23
6 minutes et 23 secondes
vous l'amenez jusqu'à ce point où il y a une sorte d'ouverture.

6:28
6 minutes et 28 secondes

et vous le faites descendre. Assurez-vous qu'il arrive jusqu'à cette ouverture.

Votre modèle peut être légèrement différent. Les modèles plus récents,
6:37
6 minutes et 37 secondes
sont légèrement différents, mais l'ouverture doit arriver ici. Sur certains
modèles, elle n'est pas aussi large.

6:44
6 minutes et 44 secondes

Voilà comment enfiler la canette dans le boîtier. Elle passe ici. Vous devriez
entendre un léger clic pour confirmer. 6:55

6 minutes et 55 secondes

Je n'entends pas le clic, mais il devrait se trouver sous votre machine à

coudre, juste en dessous du bouton.

7:03

7 minutes et 3 secondes

Ensuite, nous avons le levier de marche arrière. Le fonctionnement est

différent sur une machine manuelle : il monte et descend, tandis que sur une
machine électrique, il va et vient.

7:10

7 minutes et 10 secondes

il va et vient. Il suffit donc d'appuyer ici pour faire un point arrière. C'est le
point arrière.

7:20

7 minutes et 20 secondes
Ce dont je parlais, c'est du point arrière. Le suivant est le levier du pied-de-
biche.

7:27
7 minutes et 27 secondes

Regardons à l'arrière, car il est situé derrière. La caméra est mauvaise. Voici
le levier du pied-de-biche. Il monte et il descend.

7:33
7 minutes et 33 secondes
Il monte et il descend comme ceci. Il est à l'arrière. Donc, le pied-de-biche, il
le contrôle. Je n'ai pas encore parlé du pied-de-biche. Le voici. Le pied-de-
biche peut monter et descendre.

7:42
7 minutes et 42 secondes
Le pied-de-biche descend. Regardez comment ça fonctionne. Il contrôle le
pied-de-biche. Le pied-de-biche descend.

7:48
7 minutes et 48 secondes
Donc, quand vous le relevez, le pied-de-biche remonte. Le levier du pied-de-
biche contrôle donc le pied-de-biche. Et oui, vous pouvez changer de pied-
de-biche. Changez
7:56
7 minutes et 56 secondes

Nous proposons différents types de pieds-de-biche. Si vous souhaitez coudre

des fronces ou une fermeture éclair invisible,

8:04
8 minutes et 4 secondes

vous pouvez changer de pied-de-biche. Pour coudre des lignes fines, il existe
de nombreux types de pieds-de-biche. Je vous conseille
8:11
8 minutes et 11 secondes

si vous utilisez un type de machine spécifique, de vous procurer des pièces

de rechange. Vous voyez ces pièces ?

8:20
8 minutes et 20 secondes

celle-ci ? Je touche celle-ci. Je ne connais pas le nom. Vous voyez ces

pièces ?

8:24
8 minutes et 24 secondes

Partout où vous pouvez visser. En fait, c'est une vis. Je peux la tourner. 8:27

8 minutes et 27 secondes

Je sais que vous ne le verrez pas clairement, mais regardez.

8:35
8 minutes et 35 secondes
à l'arrière, vous devriez pouvoir changer tous ces éléments. Même le boîtier
de canette ; vous pouvez en acheter un de rechange. On trouve de
nombreuses canettes dans le commerce.

8:44
8 minutes et 44 secondes
Vous pouvez acheter des pièces de rechange pour les urgences, et même les
griffes d'entraînement ; vous pouvez en acheter de rechange dans le
commerce.

8:51
8 minutes et 51 secondes

même si une machine comme celle-ci est ancienne, vous ne trouverez peut-
être pas ce type de machine facilement sur le marché.

8:59
8 minutes et 59 secondes

mais pour les machines manuelles, vous devriez le voir facilement. Le

suivant est le sélecteur de points. Le point…

9:06
9 minutes et 6 secondes

le sélecteur de points permet de régler la longueur de chaque point. Et voici

le sélecteur de largeur de point. Réglage de la largeur
9:13
9 minutes et 13 secondes

Surtout si vous utilisez une machine manuelle, vous n'aurez pas cette option
car une machine manuelle ne coud que des lignes droites.

9:20
9 minutes et 20 secondes
La largeur du point, c'est-à-dire la largeur, est réglée sur la molette de
largeur du point pour les points zigzag et les points décoratifs.

9:28
9 minutes et 28 secondes

Vous pouvez ainsi réaliser de petits zigzags, des zigzags moyens, de grands
zigzags, etc. Je vais vous le montrer brièvement.
9:36
9 minutes et 36 secondes

Comment enfiler votre machine. La procédure est différente pour chaque

personne et je vais vous montrer exactement les mêmes pièces que celles
que je vous ai montrées ici.

9:45
9 minutes et 45 secondes

Les noms et les pièces sont exactement les mêmes que dans votre manuel
d'utilisation de la machine à coudre. Je vais donc vous montrer comment
faire.

9:53
9 minutes et 53 secondes

manuel d'utilisation. D'accord. Avant cela, voyons comment enfiler l'aiguille.

Comme indiqué dans le manuel, vous placez le fil sur le porte-bobine à
l'arrière.

10:01
10 minutes et 1 seconde

Vous le passez dans le guide-fil. Ensuite, vous le passez dans le disque de

tension. Il ressort, et je ne crois pas avoir mentionné le nom de cette pièce.

10:10
10 minutes et 10 secondes

Et vous le passez ici. Vous nouez l'aiguille. Il vous suffit de tenir le volant. Le
volant se trouve de ce côté. Tenez le volant et
10:19
10 minutes et 19 secondes
déplacez-le vers l'avant. Ainsi, pendant que vous le déplacez, l'aiguille doit
entrer dans le tissu. Ensuite,
10:25
10 minutes et 25 secondes
vous utilisez le fil pour enrouler le fil sur la canette. D'accord ? Voilà
comment commencer à coudre. Vous devez avoir deux
10:33
10 minutes et 33 secondes
fils, un venant du haut, l'autre du bas, mais tous deux doivent être orientés
vers le haut. Vous devriez voir deux fils, deux paires de fils
10:41
10 minutes et 41 secondes
sur le dessus de la machine à coudre. Voilà pour notre machine électrique.
Passons à notre machine manuelle.

10:48
10 minutes et 48 secondes
Voici la machine manuelle. Vous voyez, celle-ci a une table. Bien que la table
soit vendue différemment, la tête
10:55
10 minutes et 55 secondes
est vendue différemment. C'est toute cette tête noire, vous l'appelez tête
noire. En gros, c'est la machine manuelle
11:02
11 minutes et 2 secondes
maintenant, vous voyez, la mienne a un moteur électrique attaché à
11:09
11 minutes et 9 secondes
elle a... je crois que je vais le dévisser. Je déteste dévisser ce truc, mais juste
pour vous le montrer.

11:17
11 minutes et 17 secondes
je ne sais même pas comment ça s'appelle, mais il y a ça. Et puis je dois
l'enlever complètement.

11:28
11 minutes et 28 secondes
donc en gros, il y a ça et ce moteur électrique. Il existe différentes tailles,
mais celui-ci est le plus lourd
11:34
11 minutes et 34 secondes
fonctionnel. Il fonctionne avec la vitesse. Donc, il est en deux parties. Voici
ce moteur.

11:42
11 minutes et 42 secondes

Voici la pédale qui y est fixée. Passons maintenant à l'autre partie de notre
machine manuelle. Par où commencer ?

11:50
11 minutes et 50 secondes

Voici notre porte-bobine. Nous en avons deux. Vous en voyez un en bas et un

en haut.
11:56
11 minutes et 56 secondes

J'utilise généralement celui-ci, en haut. Ou si j'utilise un de mes gros fils,

12:05
12 minutes et 5 secondes

n'est-ce pas ? Je pose simplement le fil au sol. En fait, le fil reste au sol.
Imaginez que le fil est au sol et qu'il passe ici comme ceci.

12:14
12 minutes et 14 secondes
Voici donc notre volant. C'est mon volant qui relie ceci. Appelons-le notre
corde.

12:22

12 minutes et 22 secondes

Notre câble électrique. Il relie cette prise électrique manuelle à mon moteur
électrique. D'accord. Donc voilà…12:31
12 minutes et 31 secondes
thread guide. You can basically pass you pass from Yes. So from the spool
pin
12:39
12 minutes et 39 secondes
here pass it to the thread guide and to the tension disc. This is what I want.
12:49
12 minutes et 49 secondes
I can't move the light. Sorry, that is you pass it through this hole here,
12:58
12 minutes et 58 secondes
the hole inside this. So this lever now, you see this? This is the tension disc,
this lever. And then this there's a tiny
13:06
13 minutes et 6 secondes
hole here that you pass it through. Very unnecessary in my whole opinion
because it removes by the way. And then you let me erase the needle up.
13:17
13 minutes et 17 secondes
Okay, so this is the needle. The needle faces sideways. So you thread. So I'm
going to show us how to thread it. But
13:24
13 minutes et 24 secondes
I'm just naming it now. So who remembers what the name of this is before I
say it. This is our presser foot. Now under
13:32
13 minutes et 32 secondes
here, this is our thread dogs.
13:38
13 minutes et 38 secondes
Okay. I hope you can see it. It's our feed dogs. Okay. So now under it, we
have our bobbins.
13:49
13 minutes et 49 secondes
Exactly the way the This is the bobbing case. This is the bobbing
13:57
13 minutes et 57 secondes
I explained the other time. Put it inside. Make sure your thread is coming out.
Then you allow it to touch this
14:06
14 minutes et 6 secondes
tiny opening. Once it's set inside, you push it to this. See, this one is
14:13
14 minutes et 13 secondes
smaller than that other one. that this place is in alignment with the hole that
is there. So, there's a hole that is there. There's so much that I can't show
14:22
14 minutes et 22 secondes
you, but in subsequent videos, I'll be trying as much as possible. This is the
reverse lever. This is it. You can see
14:30
14 minutes et 30 secondes
the numbering. So, once you bring it up like this, the the stitches sew
backwards. It sews in reverse. Once you bring it down, it continues to sew
14:39
14 minutes et 39 secondes
normally. Now the less the number numbering here is 6 7 8 10 12 this 18 or
14:47
14 minutes et 47 secondes
16 16 20 30. So the smaller the number the looser the stitches. So once it
comes up here the stitches become tighter right it's like they're trying
14:55
14 minutes et 55 secondes
to it's like um it's an equivalent to something per second in my own opinion.
15:02
15 minutes et 2 secondes
That's the way that's the way I interpret it right stitches per second but that's
not it obviously.
15:09
15 minutes et 9 secondes
So, um I'm going to be showing us the foot pedal of the manual machine. I've
shown us the one that I use for the electric motor, but then I'm going to be
15:17
15 minutes et 17 secondes
showing us in a minute for the manual machine. I just want to make sure
that I've covered everything that is here. So, you see this is a very simple
setup.
15:25
15 minutes et 25 secondes
You see that obviously there is no um stitch selector dial. It is just the
reverse lever that is here. There's no
15:33
15 minutes et 33 secondes
stitch selector dial. There is no stitch length dial. Okay, this is the stitch
stitch length dial that is that is doubling as the reverse lever.
15:44
15 minutes et 44 secondes
Okay, so let me show us the under part of this sewing machine that makes it
a full machine. The electric one that I
15:52
15 minutes et 52 secondes
use. This is the manual one. Right. So now if you move the wheels, that one
moves automatically.
15:59
15 minutes et 59 secondes
That one moves automatically. So this is connected to this wheel and then
you use this rope right to connect to the hand
16:06
16 minutes et 6 secondes
wheel up. This is the wheel below right and you see once I move it the um
pedal we call it the pedal the pedal moves
16:15
16 minutes et 15 secondes
also. So once the balance wheel under moves the pedal moves. Now we'll be
going briefly on how to paddle the machine. All you just need to do is turn
the machine turn the hand lever.
16:26
16 minutes et 26 secondes
You all you just need to do is to turn the hand wheel towards you basically
towards you towards you and then you
16:33
16 minutes et 33 secondes
start you make sure that your leg make sure that your two feet are on the
under part of the machine like this
16:40
16 minutes et 40 secondes
ready to be in hand wheel you make sure that you turn the hand wheel
towards you and let's be in sync. So the reason why this will not move
properly is because the electric is still connected.
16:53
16 minutes et 53 secondes
Let's try connecting the manual. This is what we use to connect the manual. I
connect it to the big wheel under.
17:06
17 minutes et 6 secondes
Connect it to the big wheel under.
17:14
17 minutes et 14 secondes
So, it's connected now. You see how much more fing?
17:21
17 minutes et 21 secondes
Take a video of yourself trying to paddle your machine.
17:27
17 minutes et 27 secondes
We have learned the parts of a machine and we briefly learned how to
paddle a manual machine. If you are using an electric machine,
17:36
17 minutes et 36 secondes
I'm going to give you another assignment. Before I forget, this is how you
thread your manual machine. Put your
17:43
17 minutes et 43 secondes
thread on your spool pin. Pass it through this thing we're talking about.
17:48
17 minutes et 48 secondes
Okay. cannot remember the name. Pass it through your tension disc, right?
Tension dial.
17:57
17 minutes et 57 secondes
Let's mix the names together. Then pass it through here. Then pass it
through here.
18:06
18 minutes et 6 secondes
Okay. Drag it long enough.
18:12
18 minutes et 12 secondes
Pass it through.
18:16
18 minutes et 16 secondes
and pass it through your needle like this. You see what I'm doing? I'm trying
to raise the needle up. Make sure that you raise the needle up. Thread your
18:25
18 minutes et 25 secondes
needle. Sometimes, for those of us that use glasses, it's really, really tiny.
18:31
18 minutes et 31 secondes
And then you see what I was explaining for the electric. You use your hand to
on the hand wheel. You see the other
18:39
18 minutes et 39 secondes
thread that just came up? Wait to zoom in. See the other thread that just
came up?
18:45
18 minutes et 45 secondes
So the under thread, this is the under thread. You see me pulling it. This is
the thread on top. This is the thread from the bobbin that I just showed us.
18:55
18 minutes et 55 secondes
This is the thread on top. Okay, remember that I said I was going to give us
two projects, especially for those of
19:02
19 minutes et 2 secondes
us using especially for those of us using the manual machine.
19:08
19 minutes et 8 secondes
So I want to use this stripe fabric to perfectly give an example of what I want
to explain and the project I want to
19:16
19 minutes et 16 secondes
give you to work on. Now you are going to be sewing straight lines and all
you just need to do is you have the choice.
19:26
19 minutes et 26 secondes
You have the liberty to choose either between paper or a fabric. See look at
my fabric is not that big. So this is
19:33
19 minutes et 33 secondes
what my fabric looks like. And it does not have to be stripe fabric. I know that
some people now God will help you.
19:40
19 minutes et 40 secondes
So it does not have to be striped fabric. You can rule your own lines.
19:44
19 minutes et 44 secondes
Take a pen and rule your lines. Let the lines be straight. And now I want you
to sew along those lines. So we're going to
19:53
19 minutes et 53 secondes
be learning how to sew straight lines for this first week.
19:57
19 minutes et 57 secondes
Um on an average it should take you between one to two days to learn how
to do a basic paddling pedling of your
20:06
20 minutes et 6 secondes
machine. So now we want to make your hands stable. You want to make
your feet and your hands to be in alignment. So I
20:15
20 minutes et 15 secondes
want you to sew a straight line. So you're going to take your fabric, right?
And then you're going to sew this.
20:26
20 minutes et 26 secondes
Okay.
20:34
20 minutes et 34 secondes
So see basically what I want us to do is you can see my thread to sew on that
20:42
20 minutes et 42 secondes
straight line and your own does not have to be straight and aligned.
Remember that you
20:48
20 minutes et 48 secondes
are a beginner. Okay. So all you just need to do is before we create the
community, all you just need to do is
20:57
20 minutes et 57 secondes
before we create the community um do your own your own version and tag
21:04
21 minutes et 4 secondes
me on Instagram, on Facebook, on Tik Tok. I don't know if they tag on
YouTube, but yes. So I'll be expecting
21:13
21 minutes et 13 secondes
feedback from us. See you in the next class. Bye.
21:21
21 minutes et 21 secondes
So she says she wants to tie. Now tying is not the word. You're going to back
stitch. All right. You need to do a
21:28
21 minutes et 28 secondes
reverse stitch. So this is the practical what I was talking about. Now you're
going to raise this lever up. All right.
21:35
21 minutes et 35 secondes
And then sew. So it will go back.
21:39
21 minutes et 39 secondes
Right. See it's going sewing back. So now you put the lever back down. Yes.
You sew again.
