    Thank you!! Can wait to see more.. ps. I don't think it's been pil for over 40yrs 🥴..

      hi. First, try to rethread the machine again. Make sure your bobbin is threaded properly. Try threading it clockwise with the thread coming down the right side. Also, watch this video for more info ua-cam.com/video/7axwiMR8cGc/v-deo.html

    Hi, I have a question. I followed exactly how you showed but my thread kees breaking when I try to sew. Do you have any idea as to why please? And I’d like to say that your video was REALLY the best at showing and instructing. I didn’t get anything from other videos but caught everything from yours. Truly amazing!

    • @AlexMarieDIY
      @AlexMarieDIY  4 роки тому +1

      Thank you very much for that lovely comment. Now to answer your question. 1) Your thread could be of poor quality, so try another and see. Or 2) Your tension is too tight, try loosening it a little, or 3) You should try changing to a new needle. Use a number 14 or 11 HAX1 / 705 / 15x1 needle. Also check that the needle is going smoothly through the needle plate and not scraping against anything. Let me know how it goes. good luck!

      Hi. Well when in doubt always follow your sewing machine user manual. But I load counterclockwise for all my machines and haven't had a problem. I learned it that way and I'm just used to it. But thanks for mentioning this, I'll make a note in the description box for others.
