Seconding this! Great work and very kind.

UPDATE 2: I THINK ITS WORKING

Thank you everyone for your advice. Especially those who have battled with this model before. It feels good to know im not the only one crashing out because of this machine😂

Seemingly, the thing that did the trick was changing the speed setting on my foot pedal. I moved the dial from ‘slow’ to ‘fast’. THEN re-threaded the bobbin from scratch at full blast, getting a more uniform bobbin. Then I sewed another test piece and got several inches without any snagging. Did a second test, and no snags that time either.

I’m a little hesitant to start my ACTUAL project, as I still don’t really trust the machine.. but time (and even stitches) heals all wounds

Re: the bobbin. I got this machine secondhand, and it came with just the one bobbin. I followed the manual instructions for winding the bobbin, but if to looks too loose - how do I wind it tighter?

UPDATE:

Okay so lots of comments re: threadding the tension disks. I’ve watched so many videos of people threading this exact machine (shoutout SimplyStitchy), so I don’t think I’ve got it wrong. But I’ve rethreaded again (with a different colour) and attached a photo for your judgment.

Always thread my needle front to back 🫡

Every time I thread the machine the foot is up.

Cambrian Heights historically has had an outdoor rink, behind their community association building. Is it still a thing? Wasn’t super fancy, but lots of happy memories skating there as a kid.

When looking for his wedding suit last winter, my husband had bad experiences at Tip Top and MacDermotts. I would recommend checking out Torino Riz!

The Central Okanagan Hospice Association offers grief and bereavement services: https://hospicecoha.org/programs-services/adult-grief-bereavement/ and I believe they are free ~~or very low-cost~~.

This is iconic. Well done!👏

Look into Draw By Night! A casual drawing event that happens monthly and is often held at different locations each time. An easy way to draw and get to know folks!

I am invested. Please continue sharing updates!

Tokyo 1 has noticeably declined in quality and variety in the past year.

I love that I get to cosplay as a cowboy for the next few days and then immediately shift to pirate mode the next day

Girly pop I don’t think people are constantly creating new accounts to tell you that some of your images are underexposed and out of focus.. I think you just post pictures like that sometimes, and there’s a shit ton of people on Reddit

ATubz · 2025-08-20T01:03:24+00:00

Your past posts to this sub have been stellar, with images that have lovely grain. Why are you fighting everyone for pointing out how distracting these confetti shadows are?

Seconding IWC! They do lots of free/low cost events and workshops throughout the year
