I can Soooo Feel Your Pain!

I hate to be without it, even when I'm not using it much -these days it's pretty much just collecting dust :-( I am so sad when my machine is even showing signs of needing service!

I think my machine needs a service, I only learned how to use it during the summer and it was last used by my granny about a decade ago. The stitching gets ridiculously loose every.single.time I change the bobbin. I have to keep pieces of scrap and calico handy to do running stitches til it tightens itself up again, sometimes immediately and sometimes after half the bobbin is gone! I miss the Berninas I used during the summer when I did a pattern-drafting course. I can empathise, although I get more frustrated than bummed out!
