Great to be able to sew up ripped clothing etc and save money at the same time. Perhaps my life has reached a new level of boring but sewing stuff seems kinda fun!

Oh, and to add on, you have to make sure the bobbin is facing the right direction when you thread the lower thread or it won't thread properly. The thread should be going counter clockwise when you put the bobbin in the holder and it should be relatively easy to slide it into the slot.

I have been sewing for quite a while. I picked your video because of the style Singer you had. I bought an older Singer at a thrift shop, mainly because it was heavier and I might be able to do heavier materials. The problem is there was no manual and I don't have any model name other than electronic control. The front of your machine is very much like it and I wondered what it is called. The manual for yours would probably explain some things I need to understand. I can't get the tension right, no matter what I try. Could you help me with the model of your machine. The video was very good.
