:(

its not sewing properly

the threads are all getting tangled up and snagged some where and its ruining all my plans.

Ive taken it all apart and cleaned, oiled etc but its still not working, Ive changed needle, stitch type, tension, material - its all getting royally messed.

sad...

OnlyWantsOne · 19/05/2011 22:24

Is your bobbin at the correct tension? Do u have another u. Can try?

sorry about the short answer last night, i sort of posted and went to bed Blush

i have managed to over oil mine you see, can you get a cotton bud in there and mop any up?

and definitely check the bobbin case

hope you sort it Smile

the bobbin case - well I have put a new bobbin in and its still buggered, what do I do to the bobbin case then to make it work?

Im really sad - have my project all over the kitchen table, I really want to finish it!!!!!

get it serviced

AuntieMonica · 20/05/2011 09:59

is it a removeable metal bobbin case?

the tension screw might need adjusting on that? i've got a drop-in bobbin now (ooer Wink ) so think i'm remembering correctly

apols if i'm wrong
