drew at 05:19pm on 27/12/2008Mom's new sewing machine is impossible to thread. No, wait, that's not entirely accurate. It's a Singer, the new Simple line, and it has this wacky front-loading bobbin (I have never seen a front-loading bobbin before -- it is *weird*) that is just. It drives me crazy. I have figured out how to thread the needle from the top thread. I have figured out how to wind the bobbin and insert it into the bobbin case. I have figured out how to insert the bobbin case into the machine. But when I try to make test stitches, the thread bunches up below the fabric ("birds nesting") or somehow the thread gets caught on the bobbin case and the thing stops.
THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE.
At this rate, I'm going to teach myself basic sewing machine repair to fix her old one, and take this one back to the hellacious place from which it must have been spawned. Eesh.
