The reason the book stays with my sewing machine has nothing to do with organization. I consult it periodically to make sure I'm threading the bobbin correctly, because I don't always.
|
Been there, done that!
|
You want to know if every body else does stuff like this! I think, yes!
peace |
No not alone. I have been told if you re-thread your needle also re-thread your bobbin. Do I do this? NOT
|
Nope you are not the only one. I am taking a break before I fix my mess.
|
Certainly, we al have those days. We are, after all, human

Okay, I give! How do you thread a bobbin wrong? |
It's hard to explain - the thread wasn't in the right little grooves. It takes talent to mess that up!!

I spent an hour & a half trying to get my serger threaded right, the thread just kept breaking, until I realized one of the needles had slipped down about a quarter of an inch, the screw had worked its way loose. Got that problem fixed and no more problems.

[QUOTE=Knitette;5874449]Once spent an interesting :rolleyes: afternoon swearing at my machine and cursing like a sailor (no offence to sailors...) because I couldn't get the tension right. Just before I threw the machine and probably myself to follow, through the window, I discovered the bobbin in back to front. Oh how we live and learn![/Q
