She might love the opportunity to help you out! ;-) She
gave you the machine to love and care for, she surely wants
you to enjoy using it.

Sounds very much like a threading tension issue. Do you
have the manual? If not, take a look here to see if they
have a threading diagram for your machine:

Also, be sure you have a new needle *inserted* correctly.

You cannot attach photos to alt.sewing, this is a non-binary
newsgroup not e-mail.
You can upload photos to several online sites, then post the
*URL* here.

You really need the manual, you'll want to properly maintain
the machine. If a manual did not come with the machine, try
locating one (either download or hardcopy). They have many
manuals here:
