What to Bring
Bring whatever it is that you want to sew! It’ll be helpful to bring your own thread.
Pro Tips
- The automatic needle threader can be tricky to figure out, but will save you a lot of time down the road! This design is pretty common on other sewing machines.
- It can be better to fill and load a new bobbin than trusting that a small one has enough. It’ll take more time to recover from an empty bobbin than to load a new one!
- If you’re sewing tubes, you can remove the bottom of the sewing machine to access the free arm.
- When sewing especially thick or layered materials, it can help to move the hand wheel manually. Trying to use the pedal risks breaking the needle.
- When in doubt, you can use the Brother CS7000X sewing machine manual.
