Ok - my mum and mil are fantastic sewers - mil even runs classes. I am useless - famously bad.
I have got out my old Singer Sewing machine (1979 model - 609) and have threaded it up properly, oiled it etc. and have done quite well for a bit. Changed the bobbin thingie in the bottom, threaded ok and started again. The topside of the stitiching looks great but underneath it is all little loops as if the tension is all wrong. I have twiddled the knob on the front with numbers 0-9 on it and am stuck. If anyone knows how to sort out this uneven stitching so I can make my DD her promised bag and save me having to admit to these capable women that I am trying to sew I would be forever grateful! Thanks...
