OK! I oiled the machine and loosened the tension quite a bit. Then I just started going back and forth and watching the back side. I tighted the tension little by little until I could see no black thread on the back. The thread didn't break, so it looks good. Until.....
I ran out of bobbin. I changed the bobbin and now the tread keeps breaking again. must be the bobbin thread. I walked away. It was fun while it lasted. I actually made a pretty decent feather for my first attempt!
I will go back to it tonight. I think I need to do a little each day for sure. So that I remember my lessons learned every day. So that I don't forget and have to relearn them. haha
I will have to get lots of practice. I bought this machine to start a side business at home, as I work fulltime. Once I get good at it, does anyone have ideas on how to market it? I joined a machine quilters group, but they all have longarms and don't want to give me their customers..
