HA..but at least you learned...ehhehe
I taught beginner sewing & quilting for years in Alaska. I will never forget this one older lady that brought her machine to class so I look at it..she says to me " it sews fine at first, but then it just gets all balled up and breaks the thread"....ok...set her up, unthread it, remove the needles, remove the bobbin and lets start over...put it back together, and then had her sit and sew...sure enough..it sewed fine for the first 39 seconds...then off she went...
I started laughing...and asked her to stop...I gently said, " Ms. Becky, this is a sewing machine NOT a racecar! Perhaps you need to just slow down a bit and it will be fine"..we ended up making a box her pedal went it and it had a "STOP" block so that the pedal could only go down so far...what a hoot!
