He meant well! But my DH is only allowed in my sewing room to empty the garbage for just that reason.

Ahhh.........too funny.

Sorry but I had to laugh - not because of the results - but the image I get of your expression when you tried to sew – that was properly a true “Kodak Moment” but with this said he is a keeper

Oops, at least he tried!

Laughed at all the replys ........ my machines are ALWAYS fixed by my husband as he is one of those who can do everything (and I'm not kidding). Of course, I don't own any machines that are computerized because I know he will refuse to even attempt one of them. Mine are older, simple machines. He does the cleaning/oiling, tension adjustments if I'm stymied, smoothing of parts that seem to get slightly out of whack - and when one simply quits he has it purring again in an hour or so.

funny

lol so much for purring or grrring

Let me guess...is he an engineer?

If it can't be fixed to sew both ways, do you get a new sewing machine?

COOL!! Good excuse to get yerself another machine like a Bernina...then whenever you make an oops and need to grab the seam ripper, just simply go over to your old machine and reverse sew over that oops!
