New To Sewing And Love It
I was brand new to sewing when I got this machine. I had issues with it at first which I'm not sure were user error or machine error. Most of it consisted of the bobbin tread getting tangled inside its case causing the feed dogs to jam. After adjusting the tension on the bobbin case itself with no luck it turned out I just had to re-thread from the top most times. But even then that happened at least once each sewing session.Then one day it fixed on it's own, possibly through an ironic accident. I happened to wrap the thread around the needle twice and since then had no issues! I've even been brave enough since then to use other types of stitches, adjusted the length and so fourth. I've attached a picture to show what I did. It's really just wrapping the thread behind the needle once and then through the hole. Maybe an expert can explain why this works or if it's just coincidence. I certainly haven't changed anything on my end otherwise. For this I deduct one star but the numerous stitches do help for multiple projects which I love. Sewing has become such a joy! I've owned this for nearly a year now so it's held up good so far.
