Don't be bullied by the machine its only a machine . Think about your sewing machine it took awhile to learn to use it & all the gadgets now you buy new gadgets for it. Go to the thrift store or watch garage sales get some twin sheets & flannel put them on your machine & play with it . Find out all the great designs you can sew. Really its just sewing with a lil twist . use the flannel for the batting (they are cheaper than batting). Then put on your favorite music turn it up and just sew get to know how it moves don't be afraid to go dif directions circles squares just relax & take it for a ride . That will get rid of your bullie. You will fall in Love with your new toy give it a name make it part of you. I have had mine over 25yrs still learning new things on it . So I know you can do it.
