Don't give up. Once you get the hang of it, they are WONDERFUL machines. I love mine. My frustration comes from changing needles but I found the neatest tool at quilt show to simplify that.
The posts saying to tie the new thread to the old and let it thread itself (once you get it threaded the first time) is the best advice. Then pray the thread doesn't break :cry: :cry:
