When I took Home-Ec (MANY years ago) the "student" machines had this crazy drop in bobbin that I always got in backwards. (Need I mention I receive an "F" in that class?)<br /> :D<br /><br />That fuchsia fuzz-ball? Well, a couple years ago I turned my back for a minute when my machine was winding a bobbin & didn't realize my thread somehow got misdirected into all the gearage INSIDE. That was an expensive trip to the Viking repair surgeon! -- all I had to show for it was a softball-sized wad of black thread...Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659475503140848717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-79427427737237898352014-01-23T07:51:29.080-05:002014-01-23T07:51:29.080-05:00Try threading a serger!!

As for my sewing machine - the "Self threader" is useless no matter how good the diagrams could be - which they're not. Probably another example of a man designing something used by mostly women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063046271695834588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-47058328410413402402014-01-22T19:24:19.855-05:002014-01-22T19:24:19.855-05:00hah.

Then they add some note that says something like "image in diagram may not match all models" as if that's supposed to make up for the whole thing making no sense at all.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479657679664314889noreply@blogger.com
