Actually, using a handcrank machine helped me to eliminate a tendency that I had of trying to feed the fabric through the machine. I had developed a bad push-pull habit when I was learning how to use an electric machine. Now after using handcranks for a while, I’m better at just guiding the fabric with my left hand, and letting the machine do the feeding. I’ve had fewer problems now that I don’t interfere as much with the feed of the machine, regardless of which machine I use.
