In this video, I’m walking you through how I thread my Brother CS5055 sewing machine from start to finish—because if you’re trying to teach sewing at home (or you’re learning right alongside your kids), threading is the part that can slow everybody down. I show you how I wind the bobbin first, then how I thread the top of the machine, how I use the built-in needle threader, and finally how I load the bobbin correctly so you can actually start sewing without fighting the machine. I’m sharing this as part of our homeschool home economics learning, because sewing is one of those practical life skills that fits right into a homeschool lifestyle. My goal is to keep it simple and beginner-friendly, so you can follow along step-by-step and get your machine up and running quickly. If you’ve been staring at your CS5055 like, “Okay…now what?”, this is the exact process I use to get consistent results and move on to the fun part—actually making something.
