Do you want me to send a close up of the bobbin? I am afraid of monopolizing the site.... One more photo only, here, I will show you the unusual (at least, it is unlike any other machine I have seen!) threading around the upper tension. Firstly, as you can see on the large photo of the whole Beast, the thread first passes through a neat steel plate with three thread-pass-holes. Then it passes through this bizarre spring near the tension dial. Does this seem right to you? It was quite finicky, getting it threaded. It stitches well, so I must have done something right - but please, if anyone sees an error in my threading, please do let me know! I will be most appreciative of any pointers at all.
