[quote=Anonymous]I received a new sewing machine for Christmas. It was a very thoughtful gift and one I was excited about (bigger, heavy duty, good for quilting). I didn't really use it when I first got it b/c I was kind of overwhelmed by it. Then I had a medical issue that put me out of commission. So, now I thought I would start some projects.

I was having a devil of a time with it but made it through a small sample item. I've now started something else and I just cannot get it to work. The threader doesn't work well (and that's a criticism of this model, per online reviews). Fine. Not a huge thing but it would be nice if it worked as I have a hard time seeing w/o glasses on.

The bigger issue is that I'm threading it and and bobbin. Loading these up, per the instructions. The thread keeps pulling out, breaking, bunching up. I've tried different spool types, different tensions . . . . it's just not working. I'm getting extremely frustrated and am just thinking the machine is too much for me. If I can't even get it THREADED then maybe it's just too complicated for me.

Unfortunately, it may be too late to send it back. My own fault. But, now what do I do? I'm no novice but I'm also not a professional seamstress. I've never NOT been able to work a stinking sewing machine. Is there any place I can go to bring the machine and get help learning it? I"m in NOVA.[/quote]
