You have arrived as a member of the dummies' club. We all have done dumb things with our machines. My Bernina 1090 would not sew. I checked everything, even took off the back to see if thread or something was keeping it from sewing. After three days of frustration, I then noticed that the lever that goes to hold the thread when filling the bobbin was pushed over. Need I say, I had mud on my face!!!

I used to have a little poster (can't find it after many years, but wish I could) with a cute picture of a sheepish-looking puppy with the caption, "I never make the same mistake twice... generally, it's three times or more." sigh...

Hey, I put the bobbin in the wrong way for over 20 years before I realized that the reason it sometimes slipped out of the groove was because it was supposed to go in counter clockwise, not clockwise, like the DIAGRAM on the bobbin lid illustrates.
So, welcome me to the DUH club!!

I always put those moments down to "well, I guess it was my turn to do something silly". Keeps me from getting upset so often. When you live in "Gooberville", like I do, those things happen a lot!
