    Sewing machines are the single most infuriating piece of machinery ever conceived. I have no idea how they work; they seem to be so fragile that if you even look at it funny, it will break.

    That said, I can't give you any advice other than to check the manual that should've come with it (although the manual for mine is even more difficult to understand than the machine itself :tantrum:slight_smile:. I feel your pain.

    :/ I know, those machines are pure evil. I got the machine as a gift from a friend whos mom bought one but never used it, so they gave it to me but they couldn't find the manual, but I had this problem before so I might be able to fix it :/

    I'm recalling stuff from back when I was 12, so might not be right, but here goes:-

    I know you when you thread the bobbin, you slipped the little wheel of thread in and then the end of the thread went through the little hole in the arm of the bobbin casing. The bobbin case then clicks into place in the lower part of the machine.

    The tricky bit I found, least for me, was bringing the lower thread up to go over the plate. You had to hold the upper thread (which you wiggled all over the machine in a Z-shape then through the needle) to the side and slowly bring the needle down then up and, sometimes, the lower thread would be brought up.

    Other than that, I was oft flummoxed, so I can only suggest searching online for the manual? Type the machine make and number into Google and something should pop up.
