Default Trouble is Sewing!

I took Joe's advice and downloaded the PDF (in color) on the website he gave me. I'm very visual and the pictures were great!

I had to go out and buy a dress for my daughter's wedding next month and all day long I kept thinking "I hope this bobbin thing works on Trouble"'

I started with the click clacking. Took the plate apart, cleaned it, wiggled the little springs and went to put it back when I noticed that the bobbin "finger" was in the wrong place. So I adjusted that. Put the plate back on and tried to sew. The thread broke . . . but it sewed longer before it broke this time. Progress!

Then I remember something Joe said about the bobbin itself. I took a close look at the bobbin that came with it and it was a bit rusted on the inside. Fortunately the machine came with a package of new bobbins. So I read the instruction book first this time and threaded a new bobbin with new thread. Threaded Trouble with new thread and tried sewing again. HA! It worked!

Trouble is happily sewing all over the place now. I can see how people fall in love with their little FW :-)
