My mother passed away from cancer in 2014, and I inherited her sewing machine. I'm only 28 and really have no idea what I'm doing.. I'm a nurse with no sewing experience, but I'd like to make my two adopted ex-racing greyhounds some dog beds and eventually sew minor things.
Anyway, the machine is a hardly used Pfaff tiptronic 2040. I've figured out how to thread and load the bobbin, and hand thread the needle as I can't figure out the needle threaded thing, but the problem I keep having is it's not sewing...
The needle keeps unthreading itself as soon as it starts moving, and then the bobbin thread stuff gets itself knotted up..
I'm incredibly embarrassed asking such silly questions, but I'd love to just get it to sew a straight line..
Thank you if you've got this far!!
