to be totally flumoxed?

[notitswerebritish]

By a bloody sewing machine?
Why can't I figure it out!

It there a right way mrskitty?

notits oh, I'm sorry :( I machine sew every day and can't work one of these :( post a link to which one you have got.

Yesss splosh I have lots of instructions along the line of, thread top winder through x r g t then follow to y bypassing k ( unless sewing with gold). Hence my utter confusion.

Not laughing. At all.

Yeah, not much!

If you look at the Bobbin holder underneath, there is a slit to feed the thread along at the side. The thread has to feed out from the bobbin in the same direction as the slit.

Tried. Still no working.

The thing is, a full size machine is quite sturdy. I bought DD one similar and I got so frustrated with it as it was too light, temperamental and harder to use than a normal one.
Did you look at bobbin? Is it the right way round?

If you do give up and send it back, This is a sturdier mini one.
Can you borrow a full size one to practice on? I say this because once you are used to it, £100 will buy an ok machine for light use.

I am irritated for you OP as the tiny machines put people off :(
I hope you get it to work though.

That's the one I want. I even ordered one in bubblegum pink but then ran out of stock.

Can you send Hyundai one back to Amazon? I don't want to sound defeatist but honestly, it's not you, one similar drove me mad :(
DD has JLewis one now and it's a proper little starter machine. I think they are in stock.

Yeah I can take it back. But £50 quid and she might not use it? Can I justify it to keep for me to take up hems?

I know, I thought same about £50. Look on eBay for John Lewis child's sewing machine - there are a few for sale.

Please post me the thing you want to sew.
I will sew it.
Then throw the silly machine away and go and sit in the garden and look at the daffodils.

If it not thread correctly, it will not do it. My overlocking machine threads in a very unstraightforward way, which means I have to keep watching the bleddy dvd. Have you got a manual, or can you download one from t'internet?

Looked on web, no more instructions. Grr.
