I have tried to find some pointers on the internet, but not been very successful - does anyone know where I might try looking for help (or even better, have some ideas I might try)?
Thank you!!!
This is common and has an easy answer. Before you first start to sew, make sure the take up lever has just passed the top of its travel. Holding on to your thread tails, now start to sew. Your machine should take off on its own without having to help it if you start this way.
