Ah This helped a LOT! Thanks so much ! Wow your machine is as loud as a canning factory! How can you stand it? Makes me glad I have my old machines.

I think I have this same machine!! It would be so nice if I could embroider my son's polo shirts with the logo on them for school, but I'm sure I need A LOT of practice hehe

I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial, and thank you for posting it...BUT, I can't hear all of your instructions as you're sewing along...was much easier when you stopped sewing to tell us what you're doing. I do have some questions...what needle do you use? And on the bobbin thread, I'm wondering if your machine has a side bobbin or top bobbin load? Do you use the clear nylon thread in the bobbin, so you don't have to change the colors?

How nice! I noticed you did not use a free motion attachment. Is it easier to do free motion embroidery without the attachment? How do you cope with thread build up and thread breakage? Can embroidery be done with sheers and how can that be done? Love your sharing and would really love to see more, you are so good at it!

Thanks for making this video. I have an old but trusty Jones 434 - no handy little lever for the feed dog but we were able to unscrew and take it out. It's been many years since I tried this and your video has been a great help. Thanks.
