I am trying to stipple with my sewing machine on a Flynn frame. My thread is not catching the bobbin thread.

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong.

Thanks,
Sue

I'll bet your needle is in backwards. Check that first.

I changed needles and now it works fine.

For those of us who can't afford a longarm these frames work pretty well.

Thanks for your help

i think you can turn your machine so only the needle area is close to you and then you can move side to side easily.

My throat is 8 inches. You would just have to move the bars more often.
