So I threaded her up today, wound a bobbin fine, the machine has a smell that I can't tell if it's heat off the light, oil burning off the motor, or something electrical. I don't think it was electral. You can usual tell that smell right away! I'll have to see once I get the darn thing to pick up the bobbin thread. Needle to double check my needle and the direction of my bobbin maybe. See why it is giving me issues. Me and bobbins really don't get along. Sheesh.
Oh and Joe I read the manual today. :P sometimes I just can't comprehend what I'm reading due to mental fatigue so I have to make sure my mind is fresh to read or I won't retain any of it. I was excited to give it a try today so I had the mental clarity to read it.
it does help. Have to read it out loud to myself to understand the diagrams though. Haha.
