what's wrong with this sewing machine

Posted by mrs.campbell on June 23, 2009, 10:45 am

I was wondering if you could help me with something. My husband found a
old sewing machine for me a couple weeks ago. Everything works but it
won't stitch. I did some research and thought it was the timing. The
needle thread won't go all the way around the bobbin case to pick up the
bobbin thread, it only goes partly around before going back the other way.
I don't know if this makes any sense but if you can help let me know.

There is a Yahoo group called wefixit. That's the place to ask.
