I stuffed my sewing machine up *sob sob sob*
I tried to put shirring (is that the right word?) elastic in the bobbin, trying to be smart, it didn't work - and now the bottom stitches, from the bobbin are all loose, and I can't get them right - I've fiddled with the tension, re threaded the machine, re wound the bobbin ... everything I can think of. I *think* I've maybe stretched the clippie thingee on the bobbin with the too thick elastic? and maybe, hopefully, I just need a new bobbin.
I'm so bummed.
I'm loving my sewing and really hope it is a quick (and cheap!) fix.
So, anyone else got any bright ideas of what might be wrong with it? Something that I can add to my blonde moments? (oh, and I tried changing the needle too).
*sigh* ... I suppose I'll go cross-stitch.

Sorry, I can't help. I'm a sewing novice who rarely does anything other than straight stitch! I know how to thread my machine and that's about the extent of my machine knowledge. I hope it's an easy and cheap fix!
Have no idea about the machine Lisa... have never tried that shirring elastic in the bobbin. My machine is down at Raumati at the moment... will collect it later today - or Thursday when I get my nails done. Hope you get it sorted soon.
