Sashiko machine troubles!
I just spent an afternoon with my friend and her Sashiko machine- thread keeps breaking after a few stitches. (This, after I had spent another afternoon helping her to understand the bobbin insertion- tricky on this machine.) We read the manual carefully, watched a few videos and I believe we did everything correctly to thread it in the right order, but it still wouldn’t work properly - broken thread. Adjusted the tension on the bobbin case so it wasn’t as tight on the thread, no results….She has had it into the shop a few times, after having the store send back her first one because it malfunctioned….. I am not impressed with this Babylock product but welcome other comments that might help my friend. (I am gald I don’t have this machine myself, although I love the Sashiko look…). Please comment with any help you can think of. Thanks so much.
