I love the above replies....make sure the needle isn't in backwards...maybe your machine doesn't like the thread you are using.
If nothing else works....a very large glass of wine, chocolate and a really good shrill scream might help.

Ginnie6,
Learning to use a treadle machine is an experience and they are hard to mess up; however they are fussy about how the needle goes in and how you thread everything.
Consider joining www.treadleon.net lots of good information and great folks.

had one of those days yesterday. serger just wouldn't do the rolled edge for those Thanksgiving napkins that I have done a thousand times. broken needles, broken thread, yada yada
then my new embroidery machine decided it might be fun to do the same. did the usual hoopla--bobbin, needle, thread change and lots more. 1 hour trip to the service dept.
5 hours later nothing accomplished.
hopefully your day is better today.
