I am sewing.............
Took a while, but with out two puny minds put together, we almost make a
whole. LOL
1) We switched the spool of thread and put the notch on the right
hand side. With great anticipation we waited, and the same darn thing
happened again to the bobbin, witht he thread going underneath the bobbin
into the cavity.
2) I had purchased two spools of that singer thread, and thought
maybee the first one was defective.
So we put in the second spool and it started to wind the bobbin
and then got stuck. My wife then had the idea to put her finger on the
thread and slightly raise the thread coming off the spool, but then it got
tangled on the spool axle.
So I figured it out then what the problem was. The round
plastic piece that you put on the cap after putting on the spool was the
wrong size.
They gave us like three different sizes, and we followed the
picture in the instructions, and used the one just slightly larger then the
spool. But looking closely, it was letting the thread catch on the spool
axle.
I put the larger size on and whammo. Bobbin Winding Nirvana. Yee
Haw.
So we wound the bobbin and I installed bobbin according to instructions ,
No problem.
Then we did the spool top threading, and had difficulty getting
the needle threaded, but we were a bit timid on one of the steps and not
putting the thread in far enough into one of the doo-dads.
Finally did that, and the moment came. I put some old shirt
material in under the foot. Lowered the foot, lowered the needle, set it on
slow speed, pushed the button, and it started sewing(With both threads).
I didnt believe it was actually doing it, so I had to sew 10
more seams. LOL
Now that I got that under control, I am ready to start learning how to
actually sew something that needs to be sewn.
Much thanks for helping us get started.

Congratulations! Persistence and a little guidance from the

Practice on that old shirt material until you're really
comfortable, and *know* you are making perfect straight
seams. Then practice making curved seams. THEN start on
the stuff that needs to be sewn. ;-)
Have fun with it!
