Junk it or not?
Hello, I’m new here. Ive had a Singer Athena 2000 since the 1970’s and its the only machine I’ve used. It’s great but lately I’ve had a terrible time with the bobbin thread. It makes nests under the fabric. Adjusting the tension doesn’t seem to help. It does it when I’m sewing over pleats or anything thick. Sometimes I can hear the bobbin clicking, and when I do, I know there’s going to be a mess under the fabric. I’m wondering if I should just get a new machine. The last time I brought it in for a tune up, it cost $120 and it performed no different. I can get a Singer Heavy Duty machine for about $160. What would you do?
