Well, it is definitely hot outside...I think this week is supposed to be the hottest week we have had all summer. On the other hand, I think I have a cold or allergies. I didn't think that you were supposed to get sick in the summer. I thought this was my safe season of no sneazing, no runny nose, no coughing...guess I was wrong. I have been feeling yucky since Friday night. I haven't gotten any crafting done at all. I went to the basement yesterday to try and sew a little bit, but my sewing machine is causing me GREAT frustration!!! I am ready to take a shot gun to it. I can't seem to sew with the right tension...at least that is what I think the problem is. I have tried loose, tight, in the middle and nothing seems to work. I am trying to sew two pieces of cotton fabric together and the bobbin thread is getting all jammed and loose. If you have any suggestions on what my problem is I would greatly appreciate your input. I think it would help my sanity, and maybe extend the life of my sewing machine.
Now that I think about it my sewing machine has done this since I got it, 6 months ago. I have good moments and bad moments with the thread getting all jacked up. It takes me forever to sew something b/c I genereally have to stop and un jam the bobbin thread every few minutes and then get it sewing right again. My efforts yesterday were to no evail. I worked for an hour try to get it to work yesterday. So much for my machine being my friend.
I hope you all are feeling better and having better crafting luck than me. Happy 2 days after July 4th!!
when my machine did that everyone told me it was the "timing"....whatever that means (I'm quite the seamstress, can't ya tell?). It was a hand-me-down machine so I just bought an inexpensive new one (a Singer from Target...the 2nd lowest priced one). My Mom has sewed her whole life and she LOVES my machine...she calls it a real work horse...and it was under $150! Good luck...nothing more frustrating!
ReplyDeleteoh! And I too just started a weird allergy thing...tried decongestants...nothing. Then finally Claritin and I found some relief! I've never really been an allergy-sufferer before. so strange. Hope you feel better soon...nothing worse than a head full...oh..except maybe a sewing machine that isn't working right. =-)
