I'm glad you got the problem resolved!! Have fun!

rethread your machine and make sure the top thread is in the thread takeup leaver, that is right in front of you where the machine looks like it has a long split,with your right hand roll your machine wheel toward you and watchthe lever go up and down,that should have thread in it
my leaver comes unthreaded quile often. good luck,you will get there. d.swindle |
Nana - so happy you got it all figured out and hope your Lupus is well under control. I have a very close cousin who suffers with it, too and I know kind of what you're going through.
Wishing you many happy quilting hours and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work. Blessings, Debbie |
You are awesome!

NO MORE NESTS!! |
Just a little hint "I put a note on my machine to remind me to put the presser foot down"

I learned today at a quilt show that if you start with your bobbin thread on top with your top thread that won't happen. I haven't tried it but it sure worked for the demonstrator!

Ironically, I took to sewing fast and LOVE it! I am disabled with Lupus so finding this has been a dream come true..very theraputic. The sewing part I did great. I have my first quilt finished (had to go with SID to finish it. It was a dresden plate and I love it. But would have preferred to do freemotion filler work on it.
