I give up

[bladespark]

The universe hates me! It really does!

My computer is broken.

I have no money.

I'm behind again on projects because I don't work well when stressed.

And as if that wasn't fun enough, today, my sewing machine stopped working! I have NO idea whatsoever what's wrong with it, but it's not sewing correctly, the stitches aren't interlocking the way they're supposed to, it's making about every tenth stitch, and just unreeling thread in between. And the sewing machine repair place is closed, of course.

*falls over dead* I give up.

mine did that once... i was able to fix it after reading the troubleshooting section in the manual... but i can't for thi life of me remember what it was that i had to fix that time...

Well, I haven't got a manual. I wonder if there's one for it online somewhere. It's a very old machine, so I'm not sure there would be.

hmmm... well, i'll be home in about two weeks... i could look it up in my manual, but i don't know if it would translate to a different machine...

i vaguely remember something about a dull, or slightly bent needle... or the tension setting, or maybe something about the needle not sitting right where it's supposed to be held... gosh, that doesn't help much, does it?

Hmmm. Well, I'd been thinking it was something about the bobbin. It usually is. If it's the needle, this might explain why it only happens when I'm sewing thick fabric.
