Enablers - I like that one!

My husband may not be so thrilled as I keep disappearing to the dining/sewing room as the little one bops back and forth between us. He moved his new soccer net into the kitchen so he can say, "Watch this, Grammy!" and I can glance his direction as I sew, sew, sew. When he hits a goal he runs to me for a "ticket". I give him a little scrap of fabric which he runs to show Grampop. There's a little collection of "Tickets" on the coffee table. LOL

Because I had read up on my machine on this site I also knew that when the tension looked off to rethread both the bobbin and the upper thread - problem solved. I've sewn enough to have to replace the bobbin - that's a lot under the circumstances. Now how long will it be before I truly REMEMBER that it resets to the default whenever I turn it off???? That needle clunking down on the foot is just not a good sound!

Now TOMORROW I'll have 2 grandboys - one age 2 and the other 3 - let's see if I can convince them both to play soccer in the kitchen and be rewarded with Tickets so I can sew! :)

Thanks Pickles - I read the manual online before Santa brought the machine so have been just trouble shooting since then. Must have missed something!

I have the same machine and I love it. There are directions in the manual about resetting that option.

Boy, did you ever LUCK out!! :thumbup: What wonderful & thoughtful gifts you received from your family. It looks to me like they might all want something made for them, on your new machine. I am so happy for you. ENJOY!!
